I will gladly admit when/if I'm wrong, but the fact that this came from a completely random photo from a completely anonymous person on 4chan and it blew up so fast -- it feels like a set up to me.
Just be extra vigilant when sourcing/verifying things, please.
Hi memegod, I was the one who found and posted drawbertson's account and that photo in particular in the /pol/ thread. It was directly linked to Manhattan Knights. As in, he had liked and commented on photos they and other associated accounts posted.

I agree. I found some photos that look bad for sure, but I also get the same sense as you.
