That’s absolutely not him, jacket and backpack are both different colors. This dude has a black backpack and beige jacket, shooter had a gray backpack and black jacket.

Like, it’s not even close, NYPD is just harassing a random guy.

[–] egg1918@hexbear.net 73 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

They really don't have shit on him. First the Citi bike bullshit, then they found "a" phone, now theyre posting the wrong picture.

I really think our guy might get away with this

Really not liking how much more information they're getting about him. DNA testing a candy wrapper left nearby, these new photos, and a potential cellphone. Seems inevitable he's caught. I hope in that case, he ends up with countless fan letters to keep his spirits up, much like our other hero. yamagami

Not to be a downer, but cops will pretend to know less than they do in order to lure their target into a false sense of security, make them think they've already won, that kind of thing. I'm pretty sure they already know who the guy is and they're waiting for him to become more convenient to capture. I would LOVE to be proven wrong and that the Bicycle Assassin is legit eluding the authorities.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 63 points 2 weeks ago

I'm hoping the assassin is already in a country that doesn't extradite to the US

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 20 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Cops in NYPD have an atrocious clearance rate for homicides.

But yes, they are likely trying to lure them into a false sense of security, by declaring the little evidence they have, which honestly, is all pretty circumstantial. No gun, no charge, essentially. Especially or a white person in NYC.

My hopes are that this gun came from a library, and has 10 deaths on it, already, which would put more investigative manpower behind THOSE deaths.

Idk, seems like the two photos released are just different guys. NYPD also raided both a home and hostel. Feel like they’re just flailing.

[–] znonymous@hexbear.net 52 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I am going to start a vigil for the safety and elusiveness of the shooter.

Anytime the cops are on a man hunt there is a nonzero group of people they roll up just to check. In my state they shot up several cars that vaguely matched the description of thr car Dorner was driving at the time.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They are doing that scene from Le Samourai when the chief of police asks every precinct to bring him 20 guys wearing a trenchcoat lmao.

I'm not sure this is even the shooter. In the other photo they have of him from this camera, he's wearing a black backpack. In the video of the shooting, the shooter has a white backpack.

The cops may just be harassing a rando who was nearby.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 38 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Clothes are totally different, shooter had on a black hooded jacket with no pockets as well

Edit: that's not to say this isn't the person just that more info is missing. They did execute a search warrant and if it was this place maybe they were able to track it from the phone they found and ask for the surveillance footage to search for anyone matching the build leaving early in the morning

[–] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

good luck landing a conviction

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 54 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

The prosecution is going to do their best to handpick whoever they need to secure it. There's enough people who think "the guy deserved it, but its still a crime" that I don't have as much optimism. sadness

DNA testing of a candy wrapper, on a public sidewalk would be so laughed out of court by even a public defender, its amusing to think about.

The cell phone, fair chance nothing is on it, or if it's even the shooter's, which would be another thing. Its likely a burner phone, and finding a burner phone in NYC is like finding gum under a table.

[–] egg1918@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

And yet somehow, every single CCTV camera in the Brooklyn subway was broken during a mass shooting a couple years ago, in which the NYPD certainly fucked up

It was fun while it lasted. Hoping that this the incompetent NYPD targeting a random guy with a hoody though inshallah

"It is," said the narrator, also narrating this comment.

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I learned while reading some of these comments that the NYPD isn’t as incompetent as I’d like to think deeper-sadness

Turns out when you have the budget the same as the GDP of a small country, it’s kinda hard to be

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

It's actually very easy to be incompetent with a large budget, and I will happily provide that service to anyone who needs it.

They want tips? Well the only tip I want is susie-blush [REDACTED] toriel-blush

Apparently this isn't even the same guy though. The clothes don't quite match.

I mean you plan out an elaborate moidah with custom engraved bullets and then right before you shoot your shot you go to a Starbucks, take your mask off, and socialize right in front of their camera before placing your DNA everywhere? Doesn't make sense. I think they put out false info on purpose to lure the real guy into a false sense of security. The NYPD is basically an army of their own and there are a lot of wealthy and powerful people that want to see this guy caught, surely they aren't this fucking stupid? Feel free to let me know how well this take ages, lmao.

[–] Verenata@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Shut up that is not him is it?! Lmao he's hot!

Real folk hero hours about to begin if that's actually him. Society be doing that.

[–] Verenata@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Legit!!! It's the smile as well, cheeky little guy just being silly.

[–] sweet_pecan@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Every white dude with a hoodie in NYC is a suspect now I guess. If I lived in NYC I'd be a suspect.

NYPD aren't sending their best.

"This is the guy, see he had a hood on." is basically what they are going off of. Like this is the best they got?

Literally not the same guy:

Totally different person. NYPD be stupid.

Still, it feels nice to a have a genuine bona fide hero to root for in real life in this hellscape country, ngl.
