After a few years of remaining low-key, Anonymous came out with a message at the wee hours of the morning with a demand: officers need to be held accountable for their actions. “Officers who kill people and commit other crimes need to be held accountable just like the rest of us,” he said. “Otherwise, they will believe that they have the license to do whatever they want.”

The return of Anonymous also helped Mr. Robot start trending because they made direct references to Anonymous in their fourth and final season.
