Relevant quote:

> The police officer did not seem to realize that the Atlanta man hadn’t posted a photo of the shooter, just another T-shirt with the same design. But the cop did know he’d sent the image to the private chat. Given that the call came from the same city as the eBay seller, it wasn’t clear how that police had access to his private Discord chat.

> The FBI, or the intelligence community, evidently is monitoring Discord private messaging, even from people who have broken no law.

Sometimes, treating a facetious/sarcastic request seriously helps disarm the facetiousness. Other times, it does not.
