Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

I sure as fuck wouldn't. I know enough not to come anywhere near the police if they're scrutinizing me for any reason, even if I know 100% I'm innocent and I can prove it. You absolutely cannot trust them not to just arrest you and railroad you into a bullshit conviction anyway, or plant some evidence, or decide "he had a knife" and just outright kill you. You know how they say "anything you say can be used against you?" That's because they absolutely won't use it to help you, even if you're not guilty of anything.

I am positive city hall is breathing down the NYPD's neck real hard right now. The entire department has got a lot of egg on its face for not being able to stop this guy, not being able to positively identify this guy, hell, not even know with any certainty where he went afterwards. They are under immense pressure to hang somebody -- anybody -- over this because they're looking even more like chumps than usual.

So no, a wise man would not expose himself to the cops in any way whatsoever.

The cops need to present a suspect so they can say they did their job. Whether it's the right suspect is another matter.

Yep, if something like this can happen, it might not be the best idea to go to the police:

Man pressured to confess he killed his dad. His dad was alive and well [3:40]

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Fuck I had to stop watching after the bit with his dog. That's heartbreaking

[-] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Everything went as expected. The officers were promoted.

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Guess who’s going to pay that 900,000. YOU.

[-] UnityDevice@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago

We did it, ~~reddit~~ NYPD!

[-] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Fair point. I suspect that the NYPD doesn’t really want to bring him in alive.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

A dead suspect checks the boxes. Can't dispute facts with evidence. Allows the media to say they got him. Gives them an easy victory.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 months ago

This is sound advice. There are too many bad actors among cops to trust them to be impartial or fair.

[-] piecat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I bet they stop releasing info because of the public reaction. At this poiny, they want us to forget and not have copycats. They're scared.

[-] Aolley@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Never talk to the police, there are many reasons why

CNN and others just put the photos out without verification. No official photos have been released. CNN even said as much in their article

[-] CulturedLout@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

That's pretty fucking irresponsible

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"Hi we're CNN. We don't really have reporters. We regurgitate random shit we find on social media. Liberal, conservative... Suck my dick we're CNN and we're always just fucking there butching reality so you stay angry and we stay relevant. Fuck you."

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 2 points 3 months ago

"There was a shooting! Police are looking for the suspect! PICTURE OF A CLOWN WITH A GUN HONK HONK"

[-] annHowe@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

That's pretty much how most modern, corporate news outlets operate: irresponsibly.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Boston bomber 2.0

[-] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well that sucks.

Also, can't stop thinking about that episode of The Newsroom with Boston marathon bombing. 10 years since it aired and this shit is only getting worse.

[-] Waldowal@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Definately 7' 8" female. Asian descent. Bald. Possible Alopecia. Dwarfism.

8 foot dwarves

TIL we're Amazonians

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Have we ruled out the CEO being a crisis actor?

[-] classic@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

I mean, how do we really know he didn't just push himself out of a window? 🤔

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Feel free to upload more pictures claiming to be him that aren't, post them to Reddit, send them to the news claiming to be from an official source.

Protect your folk heros America.

Clearly five different people.

[-] Bwaz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Wow. Dark haired male in dark hooded jacket and back pack. Rare. I see slightly less than 30 such most days.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Doesn't look like anything to me.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I keep seeing the backpack as not matching, I don’t get how these are considered the same person, unless is going to be the next blue-black white-gold thing.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Smiling guy is a patsy they'll try to hang for this to help other CEOs sleep peacefully on their second yachts at night after a long day of forcing 5 day a week return to office mandates for overworked employees with "leadership" emails sent remotely from Saint-Tropez.

Weird thing is, neither of these photos has the guy... they already know the man responsible for this and many other deaths, his name was Brian Thompson.

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Reminder even facial-recognition softwares & Geo-Location data HAVE made errors that put innocent people in jail

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I mean with most CCTV feeds facial recognition is just a best guess, you can't just rely on it.

[-] parrhesia@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I feel like this is all viral marketing for that jacket because it looks very warm and I want one

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

Backpack & jacket type AND color are all different. The other dude even has his hood from a hoodie beneath the jacket while the first one has his hood from his jacket. Facially also completely different. I guess the NYPD has reached Reddit doxxing levels now.
