Not to be a downer, but cops will pretend to know less than they do in order to lure their target into a false sense of security, make them think they've already won, that kind of thing. I'm pretty sure they already know who the guy is and they're waiting for him to become more convenient to capture. I would LOVE to be proven wrong and that the Bicycle Assassin is legit eluding the authorities.
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
Their bosses are, but they aren't.
If anything they'll find some poor guy to drag in.
