Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect's name for now to deny him any advantage.

“We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

Yeah yeah. I'll believe it when you prove it Adams. Sounds like you still have Jack shit to me.

If they had a name, they’d probably already have the person it belongs to in custody.

Let's just call him L Simpson... no wait, that's too obvious. Lisa S.

Not Maggie S.?

I mean, this tips the guy off as much as releasing the name unless they are bluffing.

If Adams held a press conference to say the sky was still blue, I'd promptly go out and check for myself.

Adams is a piece of shit Republican who has dropped any premise of ever being progressive. I look forward to the day he leaves his post.

Also, the guy is already a hero. The moment the public learns the guy's name, it's gonna become memorialized.

Lol, he's totally not going to get tipped off as long as you don't say his name. It's not like he's been like the only thing in the news in the last 3 days.

DONT SAY HIS NAME. WE HAVE TO PROTECT MR SHIT

I MEAN SMITH 👀👀👀

So the guy knows they know who he is, but also knows they don't know who he is?

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
