Summary

The NYPD released unmasked photos of the suspect in the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Dec. 4.

      Cops don’t give a fuck.

      It is the easiest go to these days (don’t worry, we’ll have even worse sooner than later) but look at Uvalde. Cops actively prevented parents from rescuing their children. Cops physically restrained a different cop who was trying to rescue his wife (she was murdered and he later resigned). They don’t even operate in their own self interest.

      So you can bet that the cop who Failure Drills the restrained suspect because “he’s a professional hitman who won’t be taken alive” will have denied claims and be desperate for any way to get life saving procedures done.
