    If he had killed any of us, the cops wouldn’t give a shit.

    Remember that.

    i bet this will become the first public example of the state surveillance being used to protect our oligarchy from us and; given the democrat’s obstinacy when it came to constructive criticism during the election; americans will treat it as another nothing-burger like they did with the genocide and it’ll become yet another nail in the coffin of the american empire’s decline; besides the election, ukraine’s defeat, afghanistan withdrawal, iraqi wmd’s, etc.

      What do you think it has been used for up to this point?

          No it’s a tankie thing to say Ukraine lost when the war is ongoing. You just want Putin’s dictatorship to have more land.

          Down with Russian imperialism.

            i want the ukrainians to exist as sovereign peoples instead of a new vassal state to the dying american empire since the people that i descend from have been trying for almost 500 years to shake off the enslavement of this same empire.

              There are no proposals of Ukraine joining the United States.

              Russia is the country to blame causing the problems in the region as the Kremlin is responsible for Holodomor and for the rampant corruption in Eastern Europe.

                the ukrainian inexplicably want to join the american hegemony called nato on the eve of its collapse; they’re better off on their own w/o serving as a a future proxy battlefield with the collapsing united states empire.

      This feels hyperbolic.

      The state protects the status quo, including whoever has money. I wouldn’t limit it to surveillance. If we’re just talking about the US, there’s the Battle of Blair Mountain, all of COINTELPRO, Watergate (I think?), etc.

        the difference is that it’s in the news and has widespread appeal.

        those examples were either done surreptitiously or were only academic exercises in privacy; this is real-world application of that academic theory that has the chance of not being suppressed or ignored due to its notoriety.

          I’m not too fussed about the AI, to be honest. It’ll just declare that it has 14,986 suspects who “definitely” did it, most of whom will just coincidentally turn out to be black.

          The odds of them being able to definitively tie a face to a name in a single stroke are pretty remote. The investigation strategy will probably revolve around tracking down where he went and how he got there. If he rode a bus, they will investigate who was on that bus. Same if he took a plane. Or if he hired an Uber, or whatever. Whose credit cards were used to purchase tickets, whose cell phones were tracked in those locations at those times, etc. Wasn’t he on a rental bike? They will try to track payment methods for those rental bikes. Etc.

          Even with all their manpower and spy technologies and cell phone spoofing towers and dogs and any amount of shiny badges, the cops can’t clear a solve rate for murders in the US that’s any better than 50%. So there’s a coin-toss chance this guy didn’t go out of his way to do anything right and still walks away.

            That is averaged between the murders they don’t care about and the ones they put effort into. It isn’t thst every individual murder has a 50% chsnce of being solved.

              I didn’t know you could use cash for rental bikes.

              All the ones in Chicago need the app in order to rent them.

                Could you do it with a burner phone and load the app from a Visa gift card? Rent and place the city bike around the corner, do the deed, drop the phone (whether on accident or on purpose), take off on the bike.

    Statistically, there were likely 4 more murders in NYC since this one, I’m sure they’re investigating those just as thoroughly.

          Or JK Simmons nonchalantly implying that maybe the CEO deserved it, and that makes the killer the most sane of anyone.

            He did deserve it though. We also shouldn’t stop at Health Insurance CEOs, we need to make oil company execs fear for their lives for the damage they are doing to the environment.

      To put that in perspective:

      All numbers from 2023

      NYC:

      • 8.25 million inhabitants
      • 386 murders

      Austria:

      • 9.13 million inhabitants
      • 72 murders

    I love how they’re using the full force of their resources to catch this guy, but a random murder they put two detectives on for a few months, shrug and close the case.

    In an alternate universe:

    “WE FOUND EM’!”

    (Proceeds to walk on a stage with the assassin to shake his hand.)

    “We just wanted to bring you here to thank you on all our behalf, you really didn’t need to run. We’re behind you all the way on the next one!”
