Apparently, there are paid internet shills who are affiliated with questionable law enforcement groups who want illegal police misconduct problems to disappear from the internet. And to further their militarized police state agenda and pro authority brainwashing they are actively targeting websites and forums that they think are somehow against their illegal abuses of authority. And now it also appears that these forums and website are being targeted by them as well.
I found this link by doing searches for just this sort of shill activity, and this article pretty much nails it. Ultimately, it's up to the mods here to discuss this and decide if they are willing to be manipulated in this manner for an obvious agenda to squelch free speech about these ongoing law enforcement misdeeds.
