Tax payers should NOT be footing this bill when they wouldn’t put this kind of effort into the shooting of the average person.

In my state there's a guy who was murdered and burned in a car. Cops never found the killer nor are they still looking. Keep that same energy "all citizens are equal", right?

744 shootings in NYC this year so far.
How much you wanna bet the other 743 didn't get this much scrutiny put together? Those victims were poor though.

It's crazy all the resources NYPD has all of a sudden to solve crime 😭 if it was a Walmart employee than it's an unsolved case. With ZERO rewards for information.

[TheBradass]

It's hilarious to me how no one cares outside of law enforcement, politicians, and the corporate elites.

Shame on the police and feds for ONCE AGAIN, showing who they serve.

[truthful.ly]

Yall already caught the killer. His name is: Brian Thompson.

[michelangelothegreat]

Wow… the amount of tax dollars used for this “manhunt” could probably pay for some denied claims!

[zim]

What happened to saying "alleged"? Does that not apply when it's a CEO that gets hit?

The investigation revealed that in 2019, UHC's prior authorization denial rate was 8%. He became CEO in 2021, and by 2022 the rate of denial had increased to 22.7%. For both Medicare and non-Medicare claims, UHC declines claims at a rate which is double the industry average.[13]

In 2021, Thompson was criticized in an open letter from the American Hospital Association regarding a plan from UnitedHealthcare to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. UnitedHealthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change.[15] Additionally, under his leadership, UnitedHealthcare began using artificial intelligence to automate claim denials, resulting in their customers either incurring significant out-of-pocket medical bills or being unable to receive needed medical treatment.[17]

Let's make it clear, noone knows him or anything about him. He is to be protected and unknown always.

[KaneLivesAgain]

I don't think anyone would snitch on the killer even for a million dollars.

[John_Doe]

Wow, I wish we were all rich enough to get this much attention, no matter how many people's lives we've ruined.

[TempleOvBlackLight]

This very clearly demonstrates what we've been hearing over & over and that's the fact that LE looks after and protects corporations & the rich. Top priority. This amount of nationwide involvement of LE and resources NEVER happens unless it's a V.I.P. type that is the victim.

this dude might just become the DB COOPER of our era

Four photos, four different people. Different jackets (with and without front pockets), different backpacks (grey straps, black straps), different face masks (blue, black). This case has already been so BUMBLED that no jury would convict.

[zim]

Do they put this much effort into solving every homicide?

[V.E.R.O.]

I'm not convinced it's the same person. It looks like 3 different people in all the photos. Whoever that is has awesome eyebrows though!

[BeatlesLover]

I was worried for a second, I thought they caught him 😅

[mudpuddle]

So $60k tax payer dollars being offered for info on the shooter. Why isnt the victims uber rich family offering the reward rather than the tax payers?
