On social media, someone reprimanded, “You guys are doing too much.” Another person questioned, “Is this an extradition or a photo shoot?”
“Why are they all there?” repeated a third. To accompany him, do you need thirty officers? Is he Lector Hannibal?
“This is a weird thing to post,” was the overall agreement among the comments. Another person wrote, “Theatrics are so extra.”
An X user even altered the images into an album cover, while other readers made light of the situation by claiming that the photographs resembled something from a movie.
Following the NYPD posting of many images, Luigi Mangione’s “perp walk” is becoming widely popular.
