So it wasn't the retired police officer whose photo was posted here?

No

The guy is one of those crazed bikers who flips out whenever someone gets 'in his way'.

I’m sure it’ll be coming any minute now..... wait for it..... annnnny minute now......

Are you not on Twitter? There were massive numbers of apologies to the first doxxed guy. The information on the second was really confusing due to the utterly bizarre statement Of the organization he retired from, but once people figure out that guy 2 is not the suspect, I expect there will be.

I don’t condone the Twitter bloodhounds at all, just surprised that you seem to think there are no mea culpas.

New poster. Re: the bold, all the Twitter mea culpas in the world won't undo doxxing that's already happened, fear experienced by family members, damage control that wrongly accused people have had to do. I'm not referring solely to this one case but to the whole "we're detectives and will out you!" culture so accelerated by social media. By the time the real criminal is legitimately identified and law enforcement is handling it, it's too late. Apologies after the fact to wrongly identified people are cold comfort, especially if their names live on in Google searches as "suspects."

Plus, I mean one would think after they got it wrong the first time they would have shut up, but they needed to do it again and again, wrong each time. At some point, harassing innocent people and then offering a mea culpa and then harassing another innocent person is bad faith. Ick.

It’s Twitter and not only Twitter, righteously indignant social justice Twitter. Those rules don’t apply.

Seeing as some of the "mea cuplas" I'm seeing are just "well they're also white males anyways" I am gathering that the code of ethics over there is pretty blinkered.

He would not share the neighbor's name. This is the guy who said it is not a cop but he thinks he watches a lot of Fox News. Anyway, I just googled his name and he does indeed live on the same street.

Tony Brennan is the guy?

Sounds like he watches a lot of Murdoch’s Fox News.
Boomers radicalized into believing falsehoods by Fox is pretty much the story of our time

Police released the name: Tony Brennan, 60, Kensington MD

[Anonymous]

He’s been fired too.

Maybe she’s a jerk as well.

I am dying to know more about him

Twitter activism forced this guy forward. No regrets.

Until the day you are misidentified for someone else, become a target of the Twitter mob, and see your life destroyed as a result. I suspect you'll have a few regrets then.

Boohoo. The police have been using community tactics like this for decades. Only the misidentified end up in prison for fifteen years. You’ll get no sympathy from me.

So, the unacceptable tactics of the police should be adopted by the Twitter mob?

Sure, we'll get no sympathy from you today. But you'll be singing a different tune if you find yourself with a undeserved bullseye on your forehead someday.
