Where's the crime scene photo of the poop swastika?

The police offer who responded to the complaint put on his report that he saw it.

Really?

According to Billy Donley, the president of Mizzou’s Residence Halls Association (RHA), the poop swastika was reported at approximately 2:00 a.m. on October 24, 2015.

“On Saturday, October 24th, at 2:00am an individual came into one of the restrooms in Gateway Hall and drew a swastika on the wall with their own feces,” Donley wrote in a letter several days after the alleged incident. “This event happened while many students, including myself, were already asleep.”

Later in his letter, Donley noted that he only found out about the alleged vandalism incident “via a flyer posted on the walls” of the dorm.

Although Donley did not respond to repeated requests for comment prior to publication, The Federalist spoke with two RHA staffers while trying to get in touch with Donley. Neither had personally witnessed the poop swastika. When asked if there was any photographic evidence of the alleged incident, one staffer replied, “Not to my knowledge.”

Frankie Minor, the director of residential life at Mizzou, did not respond to repeated requests for comment on whether he personally saw the poop swastika or any photographic evidence of it.

The Federalist also attempted to contact Christian Basi, the associate director of the University of Missouri News Bureau, who previously told the Columbia Missourian on Oct. 30 that the incident had been immediately reported to Mizzou police. Basi did not respond to requests for comment prior to the publication of this article.

Calls to the University of Missouri Police Department, which responded to and investigated the alleged poop swastika incident, also failed to yield any evidence of the poopstika.


Maj. Brian Weimer, the public information officer for the Mizzou police department, told The Federalist that he also did not personally see the poop swastika that was reported to police. When asked if anyone in the police department personally witnessed the swastika, Maj. Weimer clammed up and referred all questions about the incident to the university’s custodian of public records.

The police report, which can be read in full here, shows that an officer responded to a vandalism complaint at Gateway Hall, a Mizzou dormitory, at 2:12 a.m. on October 24, 2015.

“I noticed there was a swastika drawn on the wall by someone using feces,” the responding officer wrote in the report. “There was also feces on the floor located by the entry way to the restroom.”

The bulk of the officer’s report is redacted. No suspects are listed, and no motivations for the fecal display are listed in the police report. The report does not include any photographic evidence of the poop swastika. Although the initial incident occurred in the early morning hours of October 24, the police report was not prepared and filed until the evening of October 29. An official investigator was assigned to the case on October 26, according to the report.
 
I asked the same thing in another thread. Why, of all things, would you assume a poop swastika is fake?

Because everybody puts a picture of the sandwich they're getting ready eat on the internet now days, but somehow, nobody took a photo of this? Seems unlikely.

Uh oh, I'm torn. Am I to believe the officer's report, or can I assume it's probably wrong like I usually do?

Ruling, IMCC?


Well, considering this incident caused a huge national rucus, AND everyone and their mother carry cellphones, why didn't ANYBODY take a photo of it. Why wasn't the restroom cordoned off and treated as a hate-crime scene?

Lots of questions but no answers and ZERO photographs of said poop swastika.

Ruling: Never happened. Incident was completely fabricated.

So the cop is lying? I think I tend to believe him over you.

I love your reasoning. At the time, while the poop was on the wall, before the "rucus" was made, they should have potographed it because of the rucus it became.

Really I just love seeing you call law enforcement a liar. Love it.

Hey. Not all officers are upstanding citizens, but most are. This guy apparently isn't and got himself into a shit-storm.
 
I actually didn't mean to correct your spelling. I was insulting your post for completely different reasons.


No worries. I should have checked the spelling. You know how that goes on here. And I appreciate the clarification on the insult. Wink (really need those emoticons back)
 
Did they do any tests on the poop? Silly for the vandal to use their own poop on the off chance that CSI - Columbia tracks it back to them.

This is actually a good point. They allowed the housekeeping department to destroy the evidence? Really????

Nothing was done with the poop because there wasn't any. First thing you do at a "crime scene" is take photos. That's basic. None were taken.

Well that isn't true, beat cops rarely take photographs of the "scene", especially in things they think are fairly inconsequential. Every photo taken has to be logged and reported.

Hey, that's a great excuse. Are you a police union rep in your non-internet life?

Is it really that hard for you to believe there is rampant racism at Mizzou? Really?

Have you been to Missouri?

(I have. I have family there. I went to college there. I'm pretty sure that I could name 30 people who would be capable of any one of the things that has been reported, and they aren't the only ones.)

OK. Just saw poop photo. Who did it? Do we know that it was done by a white person? How many hoaxes have we been subjected to on campus's to get people worked up?
