Why are we pretending like this isn't prudent on NYPD's part? If this weren't 2000 miles away I'd probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I'm considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.

Yeah, I assumed it wasn't too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he's receiving.

Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don't want to amplify.

Absolutely. Turns out people still hate murderers, and like justice. Hence the love for luigi and why Derrick Murderer hasn't got crowds demanding his release...

Makes him look way more important tho

To people who don't know the story (ie potential jurors) it could be detrimental, but I'm sure his lawyer will address that.

Does any potential juror possibly not know about this? We're not talking about rare mineral slave miners here.
