Black, brown or cream jacket. So hard to tell them apart!

Going by the title I thought I was in c/theonion for a second. Or c/nottheonion.

police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.

Someone assassinates a legal serial killer, and cops are looking for a motive?

Wow, those hiring requirements that disqualify applicants if they have too high of an IQ is really working out well for the police force.

A 24 frames a second film has 24 photos, so they have roughly 8 seconds of footage?

Probably have 200 pictures of the back of his hood. None of them worth a damn

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

"200 pics" yeah, sure. They don't know shit.

All this time and energy for this good guy, what a waste, fuck cops.

The cops have health insurance with United. I'm pretty sure they're not going to get this guy.

So many resources spent for one dead white guy. I dont imagine every murder gets this much attention and expensive work done on it.

The continued existence of police forces in the US depends on their role as protector of the wealthy. They know they must perform their duty or risk losing the protection of their patrons.

They're bluffing. Trying to get him to make a mistake

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

yea I was wondering about that. But I'm not so sure, it seems plausible that they would have been able to amass footage of him throughout the city

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

They don't have that kind of network set up to my knowledge. Maybe in London but not New York.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They also found "his" back with monopoly money in it...

Seems plausible that NYPD are stupid haha

Someone else said they might be counting each frame of a 24fps security camera as a photo, so like less than eight seconds right?
