The article:
Cop Maybe Shouldn't Have Posted This Fake Michael Brown Photo to Facebook
Yeah, maybe that wasn't a great idea:
Kansas City police officer Marc Catron is under internal review following Facebook posts aboutMichael Brown, including one photo erroneously purported on social media to be a picture of Brown.
Catron posted to his feed comments like, “Remember how white people rioted after OJ’s acquittal? Me neither.” But it was the following photo that really got him in trouble:
That’s actually a picture of a murder defendant from Oregon.
People in the community saw Catron’s photos and alerted the police; the department said it was handling the case internally. Meanwhile, a Facebook page, “Marc Catron Isn’t worthy of the shield,” is already up and running.
In the meantime, there was yet another shooting/killing of a citizen in St. Louis today:
St. Louis Cops Shoot and Kill Man Near Ferguson
I nor no one else can declare guilt or innocence of Michael Brown nor the policeman who shot him nor this man, today, or his shooter, certainly. What we can tell is that Michael Brwon shouldn't be dead, first, and that this man, today, maybe should have been tased instead of shot. Fact is, apparently tasers aren't standard issue for St. Louis police.
If things were going to quiet down over there on the East side of the state, it very likely won't be tomorrow.
