It appears that Mr. Fountain (the gentleman and hero that put forth the editor’s name and address of the offending “news” article) received a comment on just that from a police officer (whose name happened to pop up on their map)

Thanks for the link, I grew up in the 70’s and my dad was an MP in WWII he told me about how Hitler used shoe boxes filled with registrations to locate disarm and/or round up gun owners. Nothing miffes me more than the way data is collected by the government that can be used against private citizens. The men and women that fought that war up close and personal made and passed laws against even keeping that kind of information and now those laws are just ignored.

Yup. It's illegal to publish the names/addresses of LEOs in many states.
