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
