We have a thread approaching 400 upvoats that based on a false premise. The thread is called:
Call To Action: We need to push on NYPD Chief of Police James P. O'Neill to honor his promise and release the Weiner Laptop Files. We have waited long enough.
The problem with this? James P. O'Neill has made no such promise. It would be massive news if he did.
The evidence given in support of this claimed promise is based on a dubious news site AND a misreading of that dubious news.
The poster links to this article from truepundit

Even if you believe this website (and you shouldn't, it's known to produce fake articles) that article specifically points away from James P. O'Neill.
First of all only anonymous sources are used in that article. Secondly the anonymous sources are referred to this way
NYPD detectives and a NYPD Chief, the department’s highest rank under Commissioner, said .....
James P. O'Neill is not a detective and not a ”chief." He is Commissioner of the NYPD. SO the article clearly indicates, it's not him.
The poster who made this thread and petion seems ignorant of O'Neill's rank.
The petiiton says
We the undersigned ask NYPD Police Chief O'Neill to release the contents of the Weiner laptop to the public - as promised.
When you get basic facts wrong in a public petition, it will embarrass all signers.
