Was having ~30 salaried NYPD personnel to escort one dude really a good use of budget?

Not to mention one did their act in NYC and fled to suburban Pennsylvania while the other had to deal with police from a far more mundane environment. People who think the comparison can be used to paint police intentions (as if they're even a single body like some army of droids and not individuals who have free will to show up) are just sad, it would be like saying "the 1918 plague was not as widely reported or is as known as the smallpox plague, therefore it killed less or was less a priority". People are sadly disproportionate, that's just how things seem to have worked in history.
It really just comes down to whatever helps the narrative. Empirical truth is no longer required anymore. All everyone really needs now is just a good profound meme-
and this dude is destined to become one. His entire message is going to become lost amongst all the edgy salivating kids, climbing over one another to see who can make the coolest cartoon out of him.
It's because of the circumstances of how both were found.
It's so everyone can see who's the boss.
It's all about attention. They wanted their photos taken. Luigi made history, while children getting massacred is just another day in the USA.
They had to maintain their "fearful" image, or they wouldn't be able to do their job.
Not like they're even doing a good job with their real job. $7.50 an Hour ended up doing their job for them.
This meme is STUPID! Those Kids were POOR Dumby! I'm Pro Life and I want to Save The Children!
of course it was.
What else would they use it on? Helping low income and disadvantaged people? Pfffff.
Y'all laughing but this how pigs make careers
"The function of that police action, those interventions in Central America and the Middle East, is system sustaining. It is to maintain that overall system. You don't look at the particular cost. I can demonstrate to you that in every single bank robbery, the cost of the police was more than the actual money that the robbers took from the bank. Does that mean there's no economic interest involved? They're not protecting the banks? No! Of course it's economic; of course they're defending the banks. If they didn't stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost, it could jeopardize the entire banking system. There are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime. That's not true; the function of the police is social control and protection of property."

The Mayor of NYC had nothing better to do, too.
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.
Is there anything stopping normal folks from wearing PRESS attire when demonstrating?
Seems like a logical defense against this sort of shit.
You think press people weren't being targeted by the end? The press ops pictures were from the beginning, but very quickly, the cops started beating and arresting journalists once they started putting tape over their badges.

They wouldn't be cops if they weren't absolute bitchmade pussies.
it's class warfare, that's what it is.
They kept us busy fighting culture wars post Occupy protests.
And we larped it too.
God willing the pedons got a clue what we are dealing with there.
Insurance is just the tip of the iceberg. All corpos behave like this.
They fuck us on labour side and then turn around and do the same on consumer end too.
Parasites got a good grift and most people can't even ID the enemy.
Warren buffet worship is prime example...
No, it's the maga, I mean the wokes, I mean the global warming deniers, I mean the alphabet people...
I wish ppl would understand this more. Instead they're hyper fixated on more superficial issues.
There really is no other interpretation. Who can look at this and possibly suggest that they are on our side?
It's plain and simple. Clear as day.
They want to look super scared and weak. Its how I see them when it takes that many fedbois for one dude.
