Please stop posting unsubstantiated info

I am sorry but the post about the supposed cop that started the vandalizing is just stupidity.

First it is a collage of screenshots from twitter and a supposed text exchange and a video. there is NOTHING that is concrete in that and we have people here falling for it as fact. The SPPD has looked into it and asked that people stop sharing the info as they found it to not be credible.

This type of shit ruins people's lives. Please stop!

Rumor control ...

We're aware of the social media post that erroneously identifies one of our officers as the person caught on video breaking windows in Minneapolis.

We've seen it. We looked into it. It's false.

So we also want to be perfectly clear about this: The person in the video is not our officer.

We don't know who that person is, but we hope he's identified and held accountable for his actions.

Our officer? Our officer has been working hard, serving his community, keeping people and property safe, and protecting the right to peacefully assemble.

It’s unfortunate that people would post and share this untrue information, adding more confusion to an already painful time in our community. But we are glad to have cleared it up.
