A thread of cops present in Uptown in the evening of 6/15 as MPD tore down the barricades protecting the vigil site for Winston Smith and Deona Marie 🧵

This one was asked 3 dozen times for his badge number. Folks even asked his supervisor for it since it was covered. No response.

Christopher Pickhardt, badge 5716

…interesting history

Anthony R. Caspers, badge #1020

Another interesting one

Corey Schmidt, badge #6369

10 complaints, no discipline

This one looks like they’re gripping onto that baton for dear life. Can’t make out the badge number.

Can’t quite make out this ones name

Charles Cape, badge #0971

Told copwatchers cops don’t always have to give badge numbers.

In 2016, he was investigated by the department for accidentally shooting his gun when he thought the chamber was empty and given a letter of reprimand.

Sara Metcalf, badge #4755

Not wearing a name tag or a badge, but her helmet has her number.

Peter Bacon, badge #0248

Via a video received from someone on the ground, it sounds like his boss regretted revealing his identity

[Transcript]
Bacon’s Boss: I’m right behind you, Bacon
Copwatcher: oh Bacon! I know youuu!
Boss: oh…whoops
Copwatcher: hahaha yeah whoops.

Heather Young, badge #3576

Out here again with her 15 closed complaints and one open case. No discipline so far.

Reports are that she’s helping herself to gatorade left at the intersection for demonstrators.

Whoever this is, he looks bored as hell.

Badge 3810 on the right reassured baton-holding cop after copwatchers politely asked for his badge number. Told him he could move back toward the cars and farther from community members, but didn’t encourage him to share his badge number.
