A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect’s unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.
i’m not remotely convinced they haven’t just grabbed footage of some rando with a hoodie and said “he’s the one!” so it looks like they’re actually getting somewhere
that said, if i were cop, i’d be dropping my usual half-ass work ethic down to quarter-ass at most on this one
Hey now, they’d never do something so horrible to a white person.
