Sgt. Ray Kelly, who has been representing the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office in the media regarding the Masai incident, once "accidentally" retweeted a white nationalist:
Alameda County Sheriff's Office Retweets White Supremacist, Explanation Inspires DisbeliefThe video was of a media briefing held by Spencer, a prominent white nationalist, following the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned deadly when a man drove a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a woman and injuring 19 others.
Alameda County sheriff's Sgt. Ray Kelly said he was doing research on Spencer because he's a "focal point" of a right-wing rally planned in Berkeley on Aug. 27 that organizers have titled "No to Marxism in America."
Kelly said when he was trying to close the video, he "hit a bunch of buttons at the bottom, and one must have been the retweet button."
However, updated Twitter applications always require two-step confirmation for any retweet, an expert familiar with the platform said. So a user must confirm before a retweet goes out.
