View submission: The UnitedHealthcare Gunman Understands the Surveillance State
^this
I understand allocating more resources to someone getting killed in a very public place. But I can damn near guarantee if the average person got blown away in Times Square and it took this much effort to find them they would’ve more or less given up by now.
The thing that I would love to know is just how much more man power and resources are going to be dedicated to this killing compared to your murder. It’d also be super interesting to see if more crimes go unsolved because of this. There’s no way they’re not pulling people left and right who were working other cases that will just be forgotten. Honestly surprised this specific part isn’t being talked about more in the media.

I’m sure the FBI is already involved in this.

We all know why it isn't being addressed in the media.

Also with how very clear the motives are I really doubt this guy is going to be going on a killing spree, dude probably is never going to kill anyone else.

I feel like this is would be a very important question for reporters to ask during one of these press conferences. Start with a simple "how many personnel and what resources are you using to find the suspect?" After the obvious self-congratulatory, "we're working tirelessly" response, follow up with, "<jane doe> was murdered just hours before. Are you using the same number of resources and working tirelessly to find the suspect in that case too?"

If you're surprised at the media coverage I hope you find the time to give that a hard think

I'm afraid you've exceeded your investigation budget cap, case closed.

Yeah isn't that the whole thing about the first 48 hours being the most important for solving a case and after that if you haven't caught them it's over?

Sounds like a great reason for a FOIA request.

I really hope there's an enterprising real-life equivalent of Detective McNulty who is leveraging the case to get a shit-ton of OT so that other cops can work their cases they were refused OT on.

It isn't being talked about because the media is bought and paid for by other rich people who don't want us to focus on this aspect. You shouldn't be surprised at all.

No they wouldn’t. They would grab the nearest black guy and arrest him.

If you’re truly curious submit an Open Records request, but expect pushback given that police departments tend to be very reluctant to comply

I agreed with this initially, but changed my perspective after thinking about it more. If it was a wealthy trust fund random person, they’d probably be treated about the same, with a very wealthy family footing the bill for some advance PI work. But this is different — this was a statement piece, and a direct attack on the ruling class / capital owning class / exploitative class. However you want to classify it, and that’s a big risk to a lot of influential interests.
This was the sound of a guillotine blade dropping. We can only do our part and not convict if he’s apprehended.

I don’t see this as controversial tbh. There’s obviously more pressure on the police department to solve high profile murders, public opinion (i.e. the bosses opinion, from a point of view) is made or lost on the cases everyone’s watching.

I don’t think you’re right. The NYPD has some of the best sleuths in the business. Cases may go cold, but often killers are found even when there isn’t full video of the act.

Given the obvious effort this guy went into planning this murder it is completely understandable as to why it is getting so much attention from law enforcement. Not everything is about god damn motherfucking money.
