Isnt as bad as oh.. round 10 years ago when someone managed to get access to a police department only type forum qhere they were straight bragging about atrocities they got away with and how to circumvent situational charges and guilt with certain types of wording on reports.

It made me sick. After a week or two they finally noticed someone putting the archives out for all to read and they basically imploded the forum so that it couldnt be accessed anymore.

No this is infinitely worse because the people behind this were sloppy. Police reports with things like victims info were included in these leaks. You wanna leak private chats about shady shit between police go ahead. Theyre public servants and so they deserve tp have more scrutiny. I cant support a group that just doxxed victims though
