Is the wife of the Ferguson police chief posting RW talking points?

Or is it coming from another jurisdiction?

1. The woman in the FB post is from FL not MO.

I don't know if the post was real or not, but the person is not the wife of the police chief.

But the person in the Facebook message, Catherine Nardi, is not the wife of the Ferguson police chief.

Nardi lives in St. Petersburg, Fla., not Missouri, according to public records. She is married to Henry Nardi, who is not the police chief of Ferguson. We reached out to Nardi via Facebook, but she did not respond. A woman answering a phone number associated with her hung up on a reporter.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Jackson’s wife is named Patricia, not Catherine. We were unable to reach Jackson’s wife.

As for the specific words in the message, we did not find them on Nardi’s Facebook page or anywhere else.

2. OK, thanks.

3. You're welcome.

In situations such as this facts are important and rumors abound. It gets confusing to know what's what at times.

Glad I could help.

9. Thanks for that. Why didn't 'Anon' do better work on this?

They've also released the wrong name of the officer who shot Brown, sending people to chase an innocent man online now.

The OP referring to that was self-deleted when proven wrong or because the DU TOS was being invoked.

11. I don't know why anyone make claims like that

This insane hunt to find something sensational, without even vetting the facts of your claims, and then releasing it as fast as you can to be "first" to the punch, is just a sickness. Cable news does it as well (CNN I'm looking at you).

The internet is full of rumor spreading hotheads and the people who believe them. It's scary the damage they can cause to innocent people.

4. It seems anonymous can't get anything right.

They've falsely identified the chief's wife and the shooter. What else are they going to fuck up?

The internet is waiting!

6. I would just laugh

but they're fucking dangerous to the innocent.

7. is there a list of people that have been killed because of the actions of Anonymous?

[pintobean]

8. Yes

but it's kept by Anonymous, so it's probably not accurate.
