WHY does NYPD need all that tacticool gear to escort a handcuffed, unarmed suspect?

It's literally just as simple as them wanting to look badass for a photo op (which they knew it would be)

They're probably worried about people trying to help Luigi

Yep. If he did get free somehow, there's like a quarter billion safe houses waiting for him. That makes him an incredibly high risk prisoner

And why are they allowing a pic that makes him look like a Dragon Ball Z character?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

They took the saddest picture they had of him. All the other pictures was just gigachad

it feels obvious to me that they're trying to martyr him

any number of convoluted plans/reasons for this, but it feels just as organic as when trumps ear miraculously grew back in a week

Trump's ear was barely grazed by a bullet and the guy behind him definitely got shot and died

Stop this nonsense conspiracy theory shit please, stop up voting this shit this is going to kill this site

You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan" even if the plan is horrifying. If, tomorrow, I tell the press that a gang-banger will get shot or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics because "it's all part of the plan". But murder one little old CEO and everyone loses their minds!
