Yeah I can see how the quote is super misleading.

9·22 days agoI’m going to extra hell for laughing at this.
I think you’re probably misinterpreting the quote. Here’s the reporting on this from the NYT:
Mayor Eric Adams said Friday morning that the investigation was “on the right track.” In an interview on Spectrum News NY1, the mayor added: “This person was fully masked, and we used good old-fashioned police work to come up with the picture you have.”
I think what the mayor is saying here is that because the alleged killer was masked, the cops actually had to do some detective work, canvas door-to-door maybe, pull security footage, that sort of thing. It wasn’t just a case of sitting back and running facial recognition on the killer like something outta CSI.
Unless you’re thinking of a different quote.
That sounds quite plausible…
I’m going to assume we all saw those security camera photos and immediately thought of the Drake meme. Because you and I couldn’t have been the only ones…
Yeah, I mirrored it to make the Drake meme format work. But my question is why the police left a mouse cursor in their security camera photo? Here it is in the original: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/12/5/30d31dc7-3902-4f14-aa0f-f6ba39f3a79d.jpg.webp
It’s like the old saying, “If you see a child stealing food, no you didn’t.”
He was likely in New York for days before the shooting. Presumably not wearing the same clothes the whole time.
I didn’t see nuthin’.
Oh I like that phrasing even better! I changed the meme. Thank you!
If so many folks were mislead by what you said, perhaps consider that you share some responsibility in communicating clearly.
Misunderstanding someone on the internet is stupid?
Yup that’s exactly how it came off (to me).
So then I guess I’m not seeing how it serves as an example…
How many examples do you think are needed before people stop doing drugs?
Oh believe me, I’m fully aware of the underlying causes for the public’s reaction here.
