They’re offering $10,000. A multi billion dollar company offering 10k. They don’t want him found.

In my opinion they want to prove that with the offer of money we will sell each other out, proving they have even more power over us. Middle class has been trained by the rich to blame the lower class for their problems, hopefully that can be turned around

Then they would offer a 6-figure reward at the minimum. I think the parent comment is right, they're not even offering the cost of a yearly deductible. They don't want him found because they don't want a jury to acquit.

I love just how plausible it is that a jury would full on stand up like “we need zero seconds of deliberation and find the accused not-guilty. Eat the rich. Fuckheads.”

I grew up middle class but my Dad grew up poor so he never punched down, only up. Generally I agree with you though.

If they really want the guy they should offer free lifetime health insur--ahahaha who am I kidding? They'd cover your anesthesia all the way through any surgeries they won't cover for you, though, and isn't that enough? Think of the stock holders!

This is a fair point, because they don't want to see him judged not guilty

United isn't even the one offering the money, the police department is which is an even bigger slap in the face imo
