Why are we pretending like this isn’t prudent on NYPD’s part? If this weren’t 2000 miles away I’d probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I’m considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.
Yeah, I assumed it wasn’t too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he’s receiving.
Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don’t want to amplify.
Absolutely. Turns out people still hate murderers, and like justice. Hence the love for luigi and why Derrick Murderer hasn’t got crowds demanding his release…
Makes him look way more important tho
To people who don’t know the story (ie potential jurors) it could be detrimental, but I’m sure his lawyer will address that.
Does any potential juror possibly not know about this? We’re not talking about rare mineral slave miners here.
That sounds completely reasonable, until you realize the mayor of NYC was there right behind him. That one little detail blows up the whole story and makes you realize that it was just a photo op.
I think they’re on top of a building after the helicopter landed. Don’t quote me on that. I know you’re just bullshitting but if you really want to do something don’t go throw shit at cops and get yourself arrested, do something smart.
The shareholders demand blood and a show.
Yeah no shit, crowds didn’t gather around to ask for the release of the college killer.
^ this.
The media outreach of one person was huge and is a bigger risk to transfer than the other. Ill let you all figure out who is who
It’s always worth the budget for this shot.
lol, there are actually fewer escorting Superman in a scene meant to be over the top.
This tells me they see Luigi as a more dangerous threat than the military saw fucking Superman in that movie.
Are there any photos online, where cops don’t look like absolute bitchmade pussies? JFC
There were a few pictures during the BLM protests were the cops were friendly with the protesters. Reportedly, the cops beat the protesters right after the press left.
Come on, don’t pretend y’all didn’t love that photo.
They want to look super scared and weak. Its how I see them when it takes that many fedbois for one dude.
of course it was.
What else would they use it on? Helping low income and disadvantaged people? Pfffff.
Violence is never the answer. Violence is the question, and the answer is “YES”.
It’s making a statement that if you go after the rich/CEOs - they’ll throw every resource into finding you.
On a possibly unrelated note. If you were with the NYPD, would you pull strings to be part of that escort? Just a shower thought.
Oh yeah. Like I said in another post, they probably billed six hours of overtime for the ten minute walk. Cops love money just like most of us and they have all kinds of ways to make overtime and danger bonus pay and shit like that without actually working.
WTF, don’t they have a picket line to break or something?
Get your filthy hands off our hero you swine.
We always see what we want to see.
Well, Elon and Donald have taken care of the “salaried” thing now. But yes, they are showing him off like Hannibal Lector. They have treated worse people better, but they just killed “blacks”, not CEOs.
