I genuinely thought he'd have been caught by now. This is wild.

I genuinely thought the NYPD would have just grabbed a homeless guy and dressed him up before forcing a confession by now.

One would hope the cops take their sweet ass time doing their job this time, considering they might actually have someone that bought the insurance or get their insurance claim denied.

Could even have been one of them.

Oh snap imagine if the shooter was actually a cop and it comes to light. I'd love to see how Lemmy reacts to that

Not a class traitor, but a class double agent

A cop would have done it in uniform and enjoy a free vacation on the taxpayer's dime while claiming the CEO "reached for a weapon"

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Heh yeah that'd be convenient and absolutely an option, but maybe he didn't live and work in the vicinity of the CEO. Going out of your way in uniform... Not sure that'd work out

Don't fucking Jinx it

yeah but it's especially hard in this case.

  • this isn't the defense department; it's the police. they don't have a billion dollar budget

  • this guy was killed in a dark back alley in the middle of the night

  • they don't have security footage on him

oh wait. sorry.

  • the NYPD has a multi-billion dollar budget

  • the suspect killed the demon outside a Hilton hotel under some fantastic lighting

  • he did it right in front of a camera with such specific attire that it became a cosplay competition

so this is about fucking cops being as incompetent as they always are. if you don't have black or brown people to shoot don't even bother calling them; that's why they signed up.

Or maybe, in this case all fronts are united ..... even the ~~fucking~~ cops have family with health issues.
