A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect's unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

i'm not remotely convinced they haven't just grabbed footage of some rando with a hoodie and said "he's the one!" so it looks like they're actually getting somewhere

that said, if i were cop, i'd be dropping my usual half-ass work ethic down to quarter-ass at most on this one

I wonder how many NY cops have gone to 1/8th.

What could ever get anyone to think the shitass NYPD was ever doing more than 1/8 effort?

They don't hire for quality.

Hey now, they’d never do something so horrible to a white person.

Hmnnnnmnn what if cops on this one are also siding with the working class? Obviously they can't come out and say it, but they can half ass the investigation

The role of police is to divide, control and oppress the working class so they don't revolt when the rich steal everything the working class has.

Police fundamentally cannot side with the working class unless they quit their job and find a new career.

The point is they can’t look like they half assed the investigation or the corporate elites will come down on them.
