The New York Police Department says they did not find a gun inside the backpack they recovered in Central Park that potentially belonged to the person of interest in the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting. A jacket and Monopoly money were among some of the things found in the backpack.

    How do we even know the CEO’s dead? Or that the killer even exists?

    I find it more likely that the story is fake

    Imagine being 4 days in and still not being able to find someone’s killer using the biggest police dept in the world, larger than most countries’ armies, inside of a tiny city with 20 CCTV cameras on every block

    And imagine having a $10,000 info reward for someone whose net worth is $50,000,000 .

    either the killer doesn’t exist, or the NYPD is refusing to find him because he was killed by capital

        they’re only incompetent when they want to be

        if they want to be incompetent here it’s because someone else rich is benefitting them

        anyway, good riddance but yea

          They’re competent at one thing, and it isn’t “finding criminals”.

            Yeah. I remember reading the statistics for cases “solved”, and there is a huge gap between crimes against “property”, and crimes against “people”. The police force has much more know-how dealing with theft and other kinds of similar crimes than they do with murder, assault, SA, and so on.

              I found it really surprising when i heard how low the number of solved murder cases in the US is. Apparently it’s something around 20%. Over here, it’s in the 70-80% ballpark.

                And even then, the % is not such a good metric to look at. Japan has a nearly 100% conviction rate for murder , but it’s because they’ll just accuse whoever and once you’ve been charged you’re as good as convicted.

                  reminds me of this case where a Japanese hacker hijacked people’s computers to make death threats and the police coerced confessions out of four of them

      Conspiracy theory: the CEO’s body just did that and the “shooter” was pointing at him in shock.

          Considering the first bullet didn’t kill him, I would say he had a pre-existing condition by the time the third one did him in

          If you say so. But then, what is to be gained in faking this and broadcasting it to the public?

      Imagine being 4 days in and still not being able to find someone’s killer using the biggest police dept in the world, larger than most countries’ armies, inside of a tiny city with 20 CCTV cameras on every block

      They’ve got CCTV footage along his entire getaway route up until the point where he entered the Port Authority bus terminal. The reason they haven’t found him is that he immediately left NYC in the least traceable way possible. He was already on a bus out of town when they were still investigating the scene of the shooting. Nothing mysterious about that.

      Also, why would UnitedHealthcare reward the terrorists (their perspective) by reneging on the surgery premiums, thereby showing people that violence will be rewarded?

      This feels a lot like the public’s understanding of police brutality, where everyone thinks that 1 guy at the top controls everything, when in reality it’s the 2 lower rings of power below them (lieutenants). This feels like the board of directors holding CEOs accountable (to them), maybe because Brian was squeezing the public too hard too fast

          CEOs alone don’t control everything and large amounts of power are distributed among a small group of people

          those people can hold the top accountable

          squeezing too hard builds revolutionary sentiment

            If you actually think the other executives at United Health had him killed because he was squeezing the public too hard you need to lay off the mafia movies for a bit.

      50M net worth

      Insanely wealthier than most of us could imagine, yet somehow the same proportion of a typical billionnaire’s wealth, that an average American’s is to his.
