Bullets in Luigi Mangione’s bag convinced police that he was UnitedHealthcare CEO killing suspect - sh.itjust.works

Not only did they search the bag without a warrant…

Wasser resumed her search after an 11-minute drive to the police station and almost immediately found the gun and silencer — the latter discovery prompting her to laugh and exclaim “nice,” according to body-worn camera footage. Wasser said the gun was in a side pocket that she hadn’t searched at McDonald’s.

She had the bag in her car for over ten minutes, with not witnesses or video, and then after resuming the incomplete search almost immediately found the gun and silencer. My read is that there is every possibility that the gun and silencer could have been placed in the bag during that transport.

An officer concerned about a bomb accidentally being brought to the police station (again) would hardly forget to look in the bag’s side pockets. Nor is it reasonable to suggest that they could overlook a gun and silencer in the initial search of the bag.

I remember OJ Simpson getting off a double-murder because there was a remote possibility that someone (actually several hundred people) orchestrated a conspiracy to plant evidence.

He stabbed two people to death and there was DNA evidence tying him to the crime scene.

Not remote, they did. Police corruption let him off. If they let the evidence do its job there was enough to convict.

No. OJ got off because the jury wanted retribution for the Martin Luther King trail. People on the the OJ Simpson jury flat out admitted it was retribution for Martin Luther King. There is a documentary about it somewhere… or video at least of jury members admitting it.

Im not doing the leg work, sorry.

Martin Luther King Jr doesn’t have any famous trial losses to his name, are you thinking of Rodney King, who was also in LA and whose trial was contemporary?
There are users in here who are utterly confused, look at the other replies. I know the 90’s were now over 3 decades ago but it’s all completely searchable. There are multiple documentaries. I don’t know how people confuse Rodney King, Martin Luther King and the OJ Simpson case all in one thread. Astonishing.
it has an uncomfortable “i can’t tell the difference between Black people” vibe. i don’t mind people not remembering the 90s. i do mind people not double checking the broad details real quick
It’s mind blowing particularly to an Oldy McOldface like myself who was there and lived through the events.
same here. i was just little when the police brutalized Rodney King. but i still remember my white neighbors being incensed about how while that was wrong, the LA riots were completely unjustified. meanwhile my Black neighbors all tried to explain that a riot is not the result of a single event and that the LA riots were the response to decades and even centuries of mistreatment
Rodney King had direct bearing on the OJ trial. Jurors admitted they acquitted OJ as “payback” for King
yeah which was a key in that this was who this poster meant
