Let‘s review the week’s misinformation, shall we?
First, this photo spreads around and is STILL on the timelines of prominent accounts claiming that this is the cop.

This is not the cop. This is another guy well-known for his grifting and litigiousness.
Second, y’all out here giving honest to god medical advice but half of you can’t come to an agreement with the other half on whether it’s baking powder or baking soda.

I saw someone suggest a bay leaf.

I’m concerned someone is going to suggest chipotle Tabasco sauce.
Third, screenshots of Umbrella guy go around and someone claims it looks like a cop.

Suddenly, text messages claiming to be from his ex-wife surface, except:

1) there’s no proof it’s her
2) the messages are on the wrong side
3) the screencap fonts are different
Fourth, even people who should know better drummed up fear by claiming militias were descending on Minneapolis.

While some absolutely did, this also fails to account that militias talk endless shit and rarely follow through.

Don’t report facebook rumors!
Fifth, the president
