If he had killed any of us, the cops wouldn't give a shit.

Remember that.

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

These insurance providers kills thousands and the cops don't give a shit.

He wouldn't have killed any of us.

Remember that.

But any CEO of any health insurance corporation absolutely would.

And if you were in a bad situation, cops on the scene have a higher chance of killing you.

Yeremi Colino was murdered the same day. No massive manhunt, no big cash reward for his murderers' capture. AFAIK, they're still at large.

But I guess that's the difference in how our society values the lives of a migrant teenager and a CEO of a massive insurance conglomerate.

I'm wondering if they're holding back on sharing extra pictures of him, because by now they must be aware that the likelihood of people helping him hide is super high

Statistically, there were likely 4 more murders in NYC since this one, I'm sure they're investigating those just as thoroughly.

He's not getting a jury. They're going to cut him down and say he shot himself so his legacy will be that he was a coward . At least that will be the attempt but it seems like everyone will know better

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This exactly my thought. They will do everything to make him crazy or suicidal.The good thing is that someone leak what he wrote on the casing. This makes it clear he is socially motivated. Hopefully, if they ever close in, he will have an online stream up.

Americans really need to google these words if they haven't already.

Police realize 1 video is made of 200 pictures

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I love how they're using the full force of their resources to catch this guy, but a random murder they put two detectives on for a few months, shrug and close the case.

[-] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

shrug and close the case

So many resources spent for one dead white guy. I dont imagine every murder gets this much attention and expensive work done on it.

[-] farcaster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The continued existence of police forces in the US depends on their role as protector of the wealthy. They know they must perform their duty or risk losing the protection of their patrons.

[-] procrastitron@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's already been two and a half days. The longer they go without catching him the less likely it will be that they do.

The fact that they are issuing a wider manhunt seems to back that up.

Given the publicity, I'm sure that they'll catch a guy, but I'm skeptical that they'll catch that guy.

police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.

Someone assassinates a legal serial killer, and cops are looking for a motive?

Wow, those hiring requirements that disqualify applicants if they have too high of an IQ is really working out well for the police force.

Oh shit, a crime the cops actually have to solve, haha, can't just frame some poor sap this time gotta do some actual detective work. I hope they never catch him and the PD gets defunded. I know its NYC and they need cops but I think they could use a haircut at least

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm entirely unconvinced that anyone needs the thugs with badges. Multiple studies have shown that every single time that the NYPD pulls a "blue flu," the crime rate drops, significantly. As far as I can tell, the thugs with badges cause a significant amount of the crime in this country.

We all watched them sit around for an hour knowing small children were dying inside a school. We know exactly what they’re made of

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They can't even blame a brown or black person, this is SSS rank detective work and they are a one-legged Kickboxer in this match.

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Ya, this white guy must have them stumped.

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

In addition to looking for the killer, police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.

This is definitely where they need to focus their resources first.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly? Yea probably. It'd be fucking amazing if the police ended up releasing a report on just how much UHC fucked this guy or his family/friends over.

Imagine what happens if they fail, and they can't even produce a fall guy?

The thing is, Americans know their police force is lazy and useless. We're all joking about all the murders that will go unsolved that have occurred since the CEO's death. Now, there's a real chance that their incompetence will be on full display. Is it really out of the question to think that they have become so impotent that someone could carefully plan and execute an assassination?

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I expect they'll find a fall guy if they can't find the real killer. Can't look incompetent when the nation's watching!

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

"we're going to get this guy"

Twist: that's not the guy that shot him...
