The New York Police Department is crowd-sourcing their investigation into the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to the general public after two days with no positive ID on the shooter. But they may not get much help from the internet, according to multiple popular TikTok sleuths.

Where are the dipshit trolls who inhabit the dark corners of the internet? ... why aren't they going out to help to endlessly troll and make life a living hell for the investigators? Whenever some dumb internet contest happens, they're usually the first to appear to spoil everything ... they should be jumping on this one to troll the police while at the same time gain a bit of social sympathy from the masses.

For my part, I intend to aid with the investigation. I saw someone in suspicious headwear who I suspect may be involved.

I for one don't believe he acted alone

They don't need any help looking like idiots. Not getting involved is the correct choice here.

I’m fairly sure lying to the FBI is a felony?
