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
http://truepundit.com/breaking-bombshell-nypd-blows-whistle-on-new-hillary-emails-money-laundering-sex-crimes-with-children-child-exploitation-pay-to-play-perjury/
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.
Here's the basic facts about the NYPD Top Brass

AreWeSure, surprisingly, this time, I agree with you. Good post.

Why are you encouraging a concern troll?
YingYangMom ago
I like to give credit where credit is due. Do you believe in the power of redemption and second chances? As a Christian I do and I believe that it would be unfair for me to downvoat for no good reason. I understand that he is viewed as a shill and a troll. But the last couple of comments that I happened to stumble upon coming from him actually made sense.

That is AreWeSure's game. Tell me, if you had a roundtable of people face to face, would you want AreWeSure on your team?

I'll be honest and say no. I still can't bring myself to downvoat him just to please others though. I didn't upvoat either btw.

Shows sign of integrity. I support that for sure.

Thank you for understanding and supporting. It means a lot believe it or not.

I believe it 100%. It is what binds our common cause, and keeps us uplifted, energized, and protected.

Yes. It is also through our comments, the words that we type, the things that we discuss that we bond, we share and we grow. I can feel you have good intentions as do I. This is what keeps me going and gives me hope. Peace :)
