A Twitter account from online hacktivist group Anonymous was suspended on Thursday after it claimed to reveal the name of the police officer who shot unarmed teenager Michael Brown, setting off five nights of unrest in the suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. Sgt. Colby Dolly of the St. Louis County Police told NBC News that the person named by Anonymous was not the officer who shot Brown, nor was he a member of the St. Louis County Police Department. Twitter told NBC News that it does not comment on individual accounts, but pointed to its Twitter rules, which state that users can not publish or post other peoples private and confidential information or publish or post direct, specific threats of violence against others. Anonymous has already started tweeting about the situation in Ferguson from a second Twitter account, @TheAnonMessage2.
