Their liking him does not seem to have prevented seemingly near-100% belief in the police version of events. They are orthogonal. It’s like everyone forgot that we don’t actually have any way to ID the shooter (because the video never got his face), and very little physical evidence was left at the scene. The police say this Luigi guy was carrying around the murder weapon and a manifesto (that very conveniently also establishes motive), and everyone just buys it totally uncritically (and also comments on how much they like him). I think the NYPD is simply unable to publicly admit that for their $16M per day budget they can’t ID or find a guy who shot someone on video in the middle of a public street. People might start asking what we are getting for that money if they can’t solve simple crimes, and if perhaps the budget should be scaled back if it’s going to be so ineffective.
