    Cops in NYPD have an atrocious clearance rate for homicides.

    But yes, they are likely trying to lure them into a false sense of security, by declaring the little evidence they have, which honestly, is all pretty circumstantial. No gun, no charge, essentially. Especially or a white person in NYC.

    My hopes are that this gun came from a library, and has 10 deaths on it, already, which would put more investigative manpower behind THOSE deaths.

      That clearance rate is so low because cops don’t give a shit though. They’re gonna give a shit about a capitalist

        I think it’s more due to incompetence, myself. They didn’t solve the last hot job in Manhattan, either, and pretty sure he was a broker at a hedge fund.

          They’re also incompetent, I’m just saying the clearance rate could easily be higher if they actually did their job as it’s described

        Their bosses are, but they aren’t.

        If anything they’ll find some poor guy to drag in.

      I can’t believe the clearance rate is just 56% right now. In most countries it is closer to 80 or even 90%. In the UK they have the highest clearance rates for murder, even if the killer and victim were strangers.
