On May 4, 2019 Det. Kevin Albert and Sgt. Sean Goode, along with 4 other @CantonMAPolice officers received a recognition award from the Irish American Police Officers Association (IAPOA). Although not a recipient, @ChiefRafferty went to Malden for the ceremony & photo op.

Overall, 48 law enforcement officers from across MA received an award that night; a great opportunity for LEO to rub elbows and network. Curiously, also receiving an award that night in Malden was (now retired) @bostonpolice Sgt. Det. Michael Talbot (second from left).

Talbot is the uncle of serial X degenerate @deputymanshark @jessspano4554 @TylerDurdensst aka Steven Zabroski. For over a year, Zabroski trolled the #freekarenread movement with vile messages of hate and misinformation; often accusing Read of being a cold-blooded killer.
3/24

Beginning in Sept 2023, Zabroski's original and now banned @ChiefSharkman account posted threats that Read should plea or be beaten / murdered. He also expressed distaste for @DoctorTurtleboy who notoriously covered the Read case starting in April 2023, exposing corruption.
4/24

Zabroski spread hate, threats, and twisted facts about the Read trial, often acting as an expert on the inner details of the case.
5/24

Zabroski even tweeted about Aidan Kearney's impending indictment weeks before it was public. The person behind the @ChiefSharkman account seemed to have inside information at times, but it was unclear who this person was and how they were obtaining information in advance.
6/24

On July 4, 2024 when America was celebrating it's independence, Zabroski ironically directly threatened our government; US Attorney General Josh Levy. The following day, the @ChiefSharkman was banned permanently from the X platform.
7/2

Of course, Zabroski had many burner accounts and created another "Sharkman" account @DeputyManshark soon after. He made many references to the old account, acknowledging that the accounts were linked.
8/24

The new Braiden / Sharkman account quickly became as repugnant as the old; threatening Karen Read, her lawyers, and her supporters. One theme that often repeated in his tweets over and over again were threats that someone will hurt or murder Karen Read if she is acquitted.
9/24

Again, Zabroski seemed to have inside information from the Norfolk County @MassStatePolice Unit, tweeting a week in advance that some pro-FKR people were going to be getting something in their mailboxes soon.
10/24

A few days later, several individuals received criminal complaints from the Norfolk County DA's office for "harassment" and "witness intimidation".
11/24

But why would the nephew of a retired BPD officer be so invested in the Karen Read case to the point that they were tweeting misinformation nearly 24/7? What would the motivation be for Zabroski to continue "debunking" facts about John O'Keefe's murder and ridiculing FKR?

To answer this question, we must take a deep dive into Michael Talbot's history. Until recently, Talbot was the Director of Governmental Affairs for the Massachusetts Fraternal order of Police.
13/24

The FOP is charged with supporting LEO through "strong influence", acting as an intermediary between members and government - undertaking "efforts at increasing the public confidence toward the police".

The Read case has opened the door to public scrutiny against LEO in Canton; further compounded by the arrest of Matthew Farwell in the murder of Sandra Birchmore, as well as Norfolk County MSP's involvement in covering up other police misconduct such as Juston Root's death.
15/24

Would it seem reasonable to assume that someone as influential as Michael Talbot would broker information to his nephew in an attempt to stem the criticism LEO is now facing as a result of Canton and MSP law enforcement misconduct?
16/24

Looking further into Talbot's documented past, hehas an Internal Affairs score of "4 Very Concerning" stemming from two incidents in 2008, one which was "sustained" and a second that was "partially sustained". While details of an IA investigation are not public...
17/24

..a civil suite against Talbot and his girlfriend Miriam (also BPD) by her ex-husband Chris Broderick indicates there were complaints made with the BPD IA Dept alleging Talbot misused his position to influence a custody dispute. Talbot was a school resource officer in 2008.
18/24

The civil suit claims against Talbot were dismissed, however it appears as if the IA investigation might have substantiated some of Broderick's claims, perhaps related to the fact that Talbot used his badge and position as a police officer to intimidate Broderick.
19/24

Talbot and Brian Albert worked together at BPD, and in 2017 both were listed as potential witnesses in the Aaron Hernandez murder trial. Coincidentally, Marty Kraft, who Norfolk DA Michael W. Morrissey allegedly hired to surveil Read, was also a BPD witness in the trial.
20/24

In 2019, Brian Albert and Michael Talbot also worked together on the Victor Pena kidnapping / rape case. Albert, as Sgt. Det. of the Fugitive Apprehension unit, assisted in tracking Pena down to a Charlestown apartment. Michael Talbot, was the lead complainant in the case.

Could Zabroski's motivation been tied to his uncle's background as a LEO and/or connections to the Alberts? Is it fair to assume that as Dir. of GA for the MA FOP, Talbot may have had a working relationship with Morrissey? Was Talbot brokering info from the DA to Zabroski?
21/24

Was Talbot willing to do one last favor for former BPD Sgt. Albert, and encourage his nephew to take to twitter in a campaign to berate and intimidate anyone that posted information that contradicted the CW's narrative? Did Talbot provide intel to Zabroski?#connectthedots
