Happens more than we’d like to believe. The mans dad wasn’t actually even dead in the case linked below. The policy will continue to make these mistakes until the consequences of their failures comes directly out of their pay.
Comment on Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?
FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 1 week agoA bunch of comments on here and Reddit about how police will do everything they can to make sure he’s seen as a threat during arrest and kill him? I don’t think that’s the case, but if this guy has nothing to do with it and felt the same it would be much safer to just walk into a police station and get ruled out of the investigation rather than risk a cop spotting him one day and thinking himself a hero.

If happy dude isn’t the CEO clean up guy, walking into a police station would be the best to way to ensure he gets the CEOs death pinned on him or worse. Happy dude would be best hiring a lawyer and following their advice.

Assuming he was elsewhere on CCTV at the time of the shooting (work, university, cafe) he should be ok.

Something I’ve learned in life is that should be and is are not the same thing. You’re right, that he should be okay, but the cops are going to want to stick this to someone. It’s way too high profile for them to let it go. If happy dude isn’t their guy and walks in the front door, the cops would make him their guy.

Facts. Dudes best bet is a lawyer and to lay low.
If that was me, there’s no way I’m walking into a police station on my own.
