    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)

        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?

    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

    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!
