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

      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.

      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.

          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

              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
