As Twitchy reported earlier, there were multiple incorrect reports that the officer wounded in Ferguson, Missouri was a woman. How exactly do the police mess something like that up?
Tweeters are wondering the same thing:
What a weird thing to get wrong RT @GPollowitz: Note the police have changed their earlier report: Officer who was shot in #ferguson is male
