Was having ~30 salaried NYPD personnel to escort one dude really a good use of budget?

Not to mention one did their act in NYC and fled to suburban Pennsylvania while the other had to deal with police from a far more mundane environment. People who think the comparison can be used to paint police intentions (as if they're even a single body like some army of droids and not individuals who have free will to show up) are just sad, it would be like saying "the 1918 plague was not as widely reported or is as known as the smallpox plague, therefore it killed less or was less a priority". People are sadly disproportionate, that's just how things seem to have worked in history.
It really just comes down to whatever helps the narrative. Empirical truth is no longer required anymore. All everyone really needs now is just a good profound meme-
and this dude is destined to become one. His entire message is going to become lost amongst all the edgy salivating kids, climbing over one another to see who can make the coolest cartoon out of him.
Violence is never the answer. Violence is the question, and the answer is "YES".

It's all about attention. They wanted their photos taken. Luigi made history, while children getting massacred is just another day in the USA.
it's class warfare, that's what it is.
They kept us busy fighting culture wars post Occupy protests.
And we larped it too.
God willing the pedons got a clue what we are dealing with there.
Insurance is just the tip of the iceberg. All corpos behave like this.
They fuck us on labour side and then turn around and do the same on consumer end too.
Parasites got a good grift and most people can't even ID the enemy.
Warren buffet worship is prime example...

There really is no other interpretation. Who can look at this and possibly suggest that they are on our side?

Are there any photos online, where cops don't look like absolute bitchmade pussies? JFC
There were a few pictures during the BLM protests were the cops were friendly with the protesters. Reportedly, the cops beat the protesters right after the press left.

They wouldn't be cops if they weren't absolute bitchmade pussies.
They're treating him like he tried to blow up Gotham City when all he did was kill Lex Luthor.
Nah, more like one of Luthor's underlings. Andrew Witty would be more equivalent to Lex Luthor.
That guy is still a cog... Bezos or gates or buffet or musk is closer to luthor
It’s always worth the budget for this shot.
lol, there are actually fewer escorting Superman in a scene meant to be over the top.
My favorite part is when he stands up to talk to the mirrored glass the handcuffs just pop apart like they weren't even there in the first place. Four military soldiers in this picture for a man who could literally turn them into pink mist
VS the entourage NYPD gave Luigi. An unarmed man with a back injury. They really are scared.
This tells me they see Luigi as a more dangerous threat than the military saw fucking Superman in that movie.
So, given that 4 students is equal to 1 cop and that 1 CEO is more or less equal to 30 cop, We can say that a student is equal to 0.25 cop So a CEO is equal to 120 students live. As they have been around 70 victim to school shooting by year and around 300 school shooting for the last 3 years in the USA, we can deduct that the death of a CEO is around 2 year of school shooting combined (not taking into account the wounded) so around 600 school shooting.
Is my math correct?
of course it was.
What else would they use it on? Helping low income and disadvantaged people? Pfffff.
It's so everyone can see who's the boss.
They want to look super scared and weak. Its how I see them when it takes that many fedbois for one dude.
Why are we pretending like this isn't prudent on NYPD's part? If this weren't 2000 miles away I'd probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I'm considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.
Yeah, I assumed it wasn't too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he's receiving.
Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don't want to amplify.

I'd try to get close enough to look like one of those true crime fanatics and throw my bra and panties at him. Pretty sure he would know how to use the bra wire to make lockpicks.

They had to maintain their "fearful" image, or they wouldn't be able to do their job.
Not like they're even doing a good job with their real job. $7.50 an Hour ended up doing their job for them.
The shareholders demand blood and a show.
"The function of that police action, those interventions in Central America and the Middle East, is system sustaining. It is to maintain that overall system. You don't look at the particular cost. I can demonstrate to you that in every single bank robbery, the cost of the police was more than the actual money that the robbers took from the bank. Does that mean there's no economic interest involved? They're not protecting the banks? No! Of course it's economic; of course they're defending the banks. If they didn't stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost, it could jeopardize the entire banking system. There are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime. That's not true; the function of the police is social control and protection of property."

He's high profile and people might want to break him out. That's probably the reason.
Bullshit take a good look at that photo. Fucking mayor is standing right behind him. If there was any chance of violence or a breakout the fucking mayor wouldn't be there. This was a publicity stunt.
I was gonna call bullshit but you're totally right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwbeq_3GILk&ab_channel=AccessHollywood
That's totally Eric Adams walking in the back.

Meh, bullshit. Was there a credible threat of that happening?
Pretty sure I've read a million comments of people supporting him and stating he deserves to be free and that he's a modern day Robin Hood, so...yes, there is credibility to that statement lol

It's because of the circumstances of how both were found.
Yeah no shit, crowds didn't gather around to ask for the release of the college killer.

They're afraid he might 3D print an escape copter and break free...
On a possibly unrelated note. If you were with the NYPD, would you pull strings to be part of that escort? Just a shower thought.
Oh yeah. Like I said in another post, they probably billed six hours of overtime for the ten minute walk. Cops love money just like most of us and they have all kinds of ways to make overtime and danger bonus pay and shit like that without actually working.
~~that's a trick question: pigs don't shower~~
i apologize. i'm going to stop calling police pigs. i have been working on it for a year and failing but i am going to xmas gift myself the right to stop calling them pigs.

Come on, don't pretend y'all didn't love that photo.
The Mayor of NYC had nothing better to do, too.
Y'all laughing but this how pigs make careers
Well, I mean, it's Emmanuel Goldstein here.
You know, the arch nemesis of the Party, the guy in every Two Minutes of Hate?
Obviously his capture warrants a significant security presence, who knows what he's capable of.
