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
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 police union? Doubt it. They probably negotiated great insurance with the department, because the police union is the only one you can't send the police to harass
The point is they can’t look like they half assed the investigation or the corporate elites will come down on them.
