Richard, Orlando.....You might be the biggest asshole or toughest guys at SMPD....either way it doesn't matter. Responding to nameless posts are doing nothing but feeding the sick pot-stirring fellow humans? we have to work with.
Read the below info, calm down and don't respond to the scumbags.

You guys/gals are in need of professional help. I can't believe (maybe) any of you are police officers. Lets start by providing you some professional advice:

The Anonymity of the Internet
If you've ever used an internet chat room or forum, you know that some people use the anonymity of online communications to start arguments and generally agitate others.
Social networking sites are perfect venues for these types of trolls, who seem to exist solely to start debates that gives them great pleasure in believing they have said something that starts more debate. The most successful posters are those that get more than one person to comment back.
Many anonymous/no-name posters are using the Internet as a way of staying something without having to face anyone in person. Many of the postings are committed by individuals with serious mental health issues. Some have deep rooted sexual issues that are aroused by believing they are striking a nerve with their postings/comments. Also most have problems with relationships, marriages, anger management and other psychological issues, sometimes severe.
When the posters get replies they deem satisfying, you are actually doing more harm than good. The constant attempt to debate responsibly by other posters with true facts or reason is a waste of time.
Also being noted is the fact that when posters see they are being ignored….they will take an opposite view and start posting to themselves to try and re-start the debate.
Unless the poster tires of a debate, moves on to another topic or is uncovered……nothing short of mental health intervention can help stop them.
