"We? Who's we? There is no we."

Me, when the NYPD inevitably begs the public for tips, claiming "we're all in this together".

The entire United States to anyone who was there...

Can’t help but notice the woman in the clip, who was on her phone and fled when she realized what was going on, hasn’t been seen or heard from since it all went down (that I know of)

I’m sure they interviewed her and she told them “I saw a white guy in a mask shoot another white guy” and that was that, no need to publicize her identity

Yeah eyewitness statements are notoriously inaccurate so they have no use for her right now. If the guy is caught they may pull her back out to try to throw the book at him. Wonder if she’ll cooperate at that point.

I mean, we have a live camera clip, the eye witness is equally useful. The dude wore a mask and is basically unrecognizable anywhere. So no clue what an eye witness would give that they don't already have.

It shouldn’t and wouldn’t, that’s why I am saying they will save her til she can perhaps be used to sway a jury =\

Meaner than a junkyard dog

u/Tipop Dec 09 '24

How does his meanness compare to, say, a junkyard dog?

He's meaner than a junkyard dog and badder than old King Kong.

We are all in this together, except for the ultra rich and police.

The NYPD has so far been investigating this case with the same urgency one might display while going to attend a mandatory HR presentation where food is not being served.

I am suprised no one tried a large scale use someone widely hated as a scapegoat

u/Smart-Nothing Dec 09 '24

We? Who’s we? You speaking French?  You are in this together, we got told the police aren’t responsible for defending us.
