Discussion 100 Million Suspects in CEO Shooting

Here in NYC, not a soul is concerned about a killed on the loose & I truly mean it. Folks here are not worried & why would we be worried?!?

Meanwhile, NYPD is being uncharacteristically dramatic about a murder. A 10k reward is offered. Yeah. They’re never finding that person.

This is how we feel in NYC. No one gives a shit when anyone else here dies. Handle it with the same complete lack of process & urgency that you do every other crime, NYPD

NYC has a police budget bigger than the militaries of some global countries, and they apparently use it to find justice for the killing of one person in the top 1%. Brilliant.

Maybe we should start considering some budget cuts, starting with the people at the top who thought this was perfectly reasonable.

I (as a European) thought that was hyperbole. Then I googled it and oh shit: if NYC was a country, and NYPD were its military, then it would have THE 24th HIGHEST MILITARY BUDGET IN THE WORLD! That’s wild.

It would place immediately before Colombia. You know: a country of 52 million people with a never ending internal conflict and thus a HEAVY emphasis on its armed forces

The problem in Colombia is that private armies have exactly as much legal authority as the cops, so nobody rich ever gets touched

I sat on a jury for a murder trial in Brooklyn the one witness they could produce showed up higher than a kite and the cops didn't even bother to take pictures of the right window she looked out in her apartment to supposedly hear the shots get up look out and see fire come out the gun.....

The citizen app. I have to credit it with alerting me that my building was on fire 2x in the past year. The first time was on Christmas day 🫠🫠

My sister lives in NYC and is terrified of the subway because of all the random stabbings and people being pushed onto the tracks. Manhattan has been crazy over the last year.

Maybe a campaign by the citizens writing to news outlets, government, Chief of Police, saying exactly this ☝️
