    You guys think there’s an element of everyone wanting to be in the picture? As in it only takes one cop to walk him from A to B, but he’s famous and this is a huge important case so they all come with just because you want to be close to important things

      Pigs will get six hours of overtime pay for this ten minute perp walk. Anyone depraved enough to be a cop would jump at the chance to steal more money from the citizens.

      Fun fact: dude to the left of Luigi walking behind him is NYC mayor Adams. His positioning is definitely intentional to be in the shot.

      “I want tell you about the town of Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars, being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it.” - Arlo Guthrie, Alice’s Restaurant Massacree

    They need that many because even cops hated that CEO and the quantity here is to ensure they don’t just let Luigi go.

      Because if there’s one thing US police are known for, it’s accountability

    What kind of absurd image do the cops think they’re projecting here? "Look. We’re the badasses who hunted down the nation’s #1 fugitive "

    Uhh, no. You had no idea where Luigi was and it took a freaking McDonald’s employee to tell you that he wasn’t even in the state, anymore.

      It’s probably their masters telling them to look strong. The same masters who were shocked, and who are out of touch. They aren’t showing us what we don’t already know because they live like emperors.

    Don’t even think about rescuing your hero that we’re parading out here. Because we have like, 10 armed police and that means we’re able to take on at least um, hold on, let me count…

    Three rescuers. Ten armed police are enough for 3 attackers, if we’re in flack jackets.

    Actually, make that two attackers…and they can only have knives and rocks.

    That’s the terrible secret. It’s not that the big guy doesn’t care about the little guy. It’s that they have their own agenda and our only purpose is to be sacrificed to that agenda.

    Roof was rewarded because he did what the state wanted, if they could have gotten away with it they’d let him off like they did Zimmerman and Rittenhouse.
