Personal information of police officers in departments nationwide is being leaked online amid tense interactions at demonstrations over the police custody death of George Floyd and others, an intelligence document obtained by AP shows.

and others, according to an unclassified intelligence document from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, obtained by The Associated Press.

Police officials nationwide have spoken out lately saying they feel caught in the middle of trying to stop violent protests, and feel abandoned by lawmakers in the demand for police reform. Some have said they fear for their lives. The personal information of another officer from San Jose, California, and his family was also posted online in a post that called for others to “do with this information what you will,” the report said.

Keep the leaks coming. Give the people the info they need

Why not? Police in US behaving not like thugs but murderers Does this NY police chief realises in democracy, is expected to arrest And -not kill human being on suspicion, -not to Attack handcuffed person with dog -not to Fire on protestors even if they throw water bottles

George Floyd, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland and Tamir Rice were all deaths under the Dem's rule. The Dem Party is the party of the KKK and Jim Crow.

Maybe the police need to stop politically motivated surveillance of citizens based solely on social media posts that challenge their behavior.

Support law and order, if it goes away crime goes up, insurance go up, businesses go away, jobs go away, property values go down, law abiding citizens go where safety is - away from crime areas. BLM = Defund police = crime, anarchy, economic decline

About time.

Whoever is doxing should be arrested.

They knew what they signed up for, amirite?

are all of the officers whose info is getting leaked confirmed as violent abusers of power or is this a random doxxing? the article mentions some that were but others where it wasn't clear

Lots of vague and innuendo. It doesn't say the websites were investigated to identify leak sources nor does it say the websites were shut down. It does say the information could be coming from compromised email accounts and other website or databases used by the officers. 1/2

Anarchy and the destruction of society is a greater evil than racism. We can end the evil of racism in a peaceful and civil manner. We can't recover from a total societal breakdown. Anarchists are hurting the cause for racial equality.

With the nonstop murders of blacks by blacks in urban centers every day, the cops are viewed as the enemy? Bad cops need to be dealt with but if there was a war on blacks by cops I don't think we'd see only 10 or so unjustified deaths per year. While there's 1000s by residents.

Whoops that surveillance grid was supposed to be a one-way mirror wasn’t it. DEFUND SURVEILLANCE.

Good somebody needs to oversee the centurions

I hope the police families aren’t threatened by these stealing of documents

That’s BULL S!/T!!

🤷‍♀️

Non choose to be born colored or white, why can't we human learn to appreciate God's doing

good

I mean we kinda deserve to know who’s shooting people in the face with rubber bullets and slashing tires. 🤷‍♂️

I think people should just man up, take their charge and stop resisting arrest and this whole situation would be resolved. If 18 people are killed in one day in Chicago the problem is not the Police. People need to grow up.

we know who it is

They leaked by purposely

'The document warns that the effort, known as 'doxxing,' could prevent law enforcement officials from carrying out their duties as violent opportunists or domestic violent extremists.' FTFY

Peaceful liberals.

You helped create this leftist mob.

Oh shit, Watchmen! Life imitates art once again. Next they’ll be wearing costumes.

It’s not being “leaked” it’s being maliciously placed online in hopes of harm coming to the officers or their families. It’s vile and awful and has NOTHING to do with justice. PoliceReformNow

Is the database available for anyone to add info to it?

I think its fair

Media like y’all enabled this

hey can you all DOX the gang members in Chicago now?

Good now they can feel a tiny tiny tiny fraction of what it means to be hunted

Honestly I'm shocked there haven't been hundreds of dead cops in all of this. Anti-cop sentiments are more open and brazen then ever, and the pigs always talk about how dangerous their jobs are. Maybe they're lying?

good, fuck em

Get this judge out!

I'm all for protecting the privacy of public servants--until they become jack-booted thugs who beat and kill people under color of law. When cops become criminals, there's no reason to respect their privacy.

I support peaceful protests, reforms, training, firing those who need to be. But these could put their families at risk. Not cool.

Freelance surveillance. Guess they didn't see that coming.

Is it really leaking if it’s info you can find with a quick google search?

acab

home addresses pls

Hope they don't get swatted. That would be awkward.

gangmembers nationwide are being unmasked so their communities can defend themselves

What could go right? 🤔

Kind of like how the media posted the name of the 17 year old who recorded the George Floyd video?

Protesters heartened by swift reform, but vow broader changeIn the two weeks since George Floyd’s killing, cities around the nation have begun implementing changes such as banning chokeholds. But advocates and demonstrators say they are pushing for long-term reform, not quick concessions. It starts with recruiting the right people. As long as there’s qualified immunity and police can get away with breaking the law, these bans on chokeholds and whatnot are only symbolic. It starts with wages benefits from companies making millions it means making changes in use of force racial profiling by police insuring under funded schools high % of poor kids get computers and modern tech to do the job
