Hacking group Anonymous briefly posted online a video detailing the personal information of 52 Cincinnati Police Department employees, including Chief Eliot Isaac, Cincinnati.com reported.

The group said it released the info Sunday night in response to Wednesday’s shooting death of Paul Gaston, a black man, by three white Cincinnati cops. By 4:30 a.m. Monday the video had been taken down, according to WLWT.

“Thin Blue Line, your game is over,” an Anonymous figure said in the video, according to a transcript. “You lost. While we release your officers’ information, we will hold no responsibility of the actions of those that see the information.”

That information included names, ages, street addresses, email addresses and social media accounts, as well as the names and addresses of officers’ family members. It’s unclear if the information was obtained via a data breach or through publicly available sources, Cincinnati Police Lt. Steve Saunders told Cincinnati.com.

The incident that prompted the Anonymous action involved the somewhat contentious details surrounding Gaston’s death. While video of the incident shows Gaston initially on his knees with his hands behind his head as cops approach him, police said he reached toward his waistband for what they believed to be a weapon before they shot him. Video evidence appears to back up the officers’ assertions. After his death, authorities discovered Gaston was carrying a pellet gun designed to look like a real weapon.

Those hackers better hope nothing happens to a cop from this. Because if it does, they will find them and send them to prison.

We had a recent incident whereby an officer was questioning a young man at 11:20 pm about riding a bicycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The fellow's father came up behind and hit the officer in the head. The two then took the officer to the ground and kicked him in the head.


A civilian ride along in the police car came out screaming and the pair left. Needless to say, the entire department was there in seconds and found the pair.

They are in jail with over $ 1/2 million bail, and attempted murder charges. You do NOT mess with police officers, if you have any living brain cells.
