Catching the suspect came down to “good old-fashioned police work,” New York Mayor Eric Adams said Monday, citing the McDonald’s employee who called in a tip.

Lol, you mean someone hitting the “easy” button and telling cops where he is? That’s “police work”? Waiting around for someone to do the work for you?

Edit: I wouldn’t want to be the person collecting the reward for the arrest of this individual.

Good old fashioned police work: either waiting for someone else to do the work, or setting up some poor sad sack to pin the crime on.

Didn't Eric recently announce he was switching parties to the GOP? Sounds like a good Republican Police Force, solve no problems, just wait around for someone to blame.

Spineless. Just another political bootlicker.

This is how the republicans become The Party, no different than the Communist Party being The Party in the USSR. They become what they hated. Loyalty to The Party above all else.

Apparently he did it out of a combination of racism against hispanics and Trump winning the erection.

Trump winning the erection.

Not a contest I want to see. The election was bad enough.

At this point I'm convinced they just give it to whoever has the bigger cock, which is why Trump can only win against women but the second another man shows up he can't quite compare...

I"m barely kidding.
