Looks like Charlamagne tha God next to Mayor Adams 😏
DumbB1tch
I sure hope all those policemen were getting paid for overtime
bubblestarmetallica
Just a reminder that the NYPD has a homicide clearance rate of 27% for which the taxpayer pays billions of dollars each year.
FarTooRighteous
What is JTF? Isn't that Navy?

ketchapOnHotdogs
Why all the firepower? Do they think a vengeful mob of CEOs is going to try to assassinate him?

I've heard they fear some people will try to rescue him.

The guns are not to keep him inline, they are to protect the cops incase America tries to set him free.

This is cops and law enforcement showing off, in the UK the accused arrive in a plain prison truck to a secure part of the court where there's no photographers allowed.
ArdentSlacker
My favorite part is Eric Adams tagging along. Getting practice for his own perp walk.
We... really *really* need a faster justice system.
nopo
I mean, given some of the stuff ive seen people post, im not surprised theyed go all out like that to make sure no one tries to free him or something.
SandettieLightVesselAutomatic
Will they find 12 jurors though?
cakeycakes
I am sure they will sift through and find 12 bootlickers, sadly.
atrielienz
This is a scene right out of the movie SWAT. That's all I'm saying. It's like he offered a million dollars to the first person to break him out of jail and they're expecting someone to come for him guns blazing.
Jamesstin
Lmfao
Marsupialmessiah
The only one without a vest, because deep inside they know, he is the folk hero. Gonna be more of a revelation when they find not a single jury to condemn him.
dizzyturtle
WTF is Eric Adams doing there?
aocandkamalahot
Working in his pardon
UncleRat
Probably getting in some practice for the perp walk.
DaisyfromDownunder
His arrest proves that eating fast food is bad.
elvisdumbledore
It's intentional. If he's a supervillain he can do things ordinary people can't. They do it to reinforced ordinary people's feelings of powerlessness.
melni
Yup, pure copaganda. Like every reality show where the cops ALWAYS get the person by the end.... when in reality they solve a small portion of crimes.
WoopDeFrickenDoo
oh you're like some kind of Machiavellian smart guy
Arracor
I mean, half his username is a diabolical monster with a diehard fanbase shielding him from the consequences of years preying on children..
Arracor
.....and the other is Elvis Presley.
taez555
Man, just imagine if they didn't have all those armed storm troopers, he might break free and go on a targeted CEO killing spree.
ilasid
Overkill for sure.
AZRAELSBLADE
Promise?
MisterLemons
That's probably what they're concerned about. Unfortunately for them, Luigi has transcended mortality and become an idea like "V" in that we are him, he is us, and the idea is unstoppable.
They've gotten a taste of the fact that at any moment, society can just collectively say "no more" and they're doing EVERYTHING to maintain the illusion of control.

Oh, no….

They ate there to protect themselves in case an armed mob tries to break him free
12plusyearsold
Which is as likely to happen as the storming of Area 51. But they won’t leave it to chance.
DoctorDudeBruh
I like how the one dude with him is carrying a bunch of bagels.
thatwoodguy
Isn't that a reference to some comedian who joked about Hollywood saying that there's so many people in this town with a gluten allergy, I could hold up a fucking bank with a bagle.
fightfightfightlosewinfight
gotta eat
ElbowDeepInAJedi
His wife packed his lunch that day.
johnxbear
It's not bagels it's poison mushrooms in case he runs
SandettieLightVesselAutomatic
Passing the bakery - "hang on lads, I need to pick something up"
ketchapOnHotdogs
They might be donuts.
andwings2go
Luigi’s personal items that weren’t deemed evidence.
nopo
Yeah.thats what i figure it really is,but i a. Amused at the idea it is bagels.
JiffyGee
If he runs he’ll throw one at him.
DignamWhenAskedaQuestion
Didn't Spider-man do that ? And in the next movie that guy turned into Universe level threat ? How bout you don't give anyone ideas.
anarchoFeline
those aren't feds that's the militarized nypd
TheVampireDante
So distracted by a black guy waving an unauthorized donut at them.
PlaceHolderTitle
It's both notice the guy on the far left with the aviators and windbreaker jacket "FBI-NYPD JTF" (Joint Terror Task Force)
anarchoFeline
those guys are still nypd, they just work alongside the feds sometimes
Exdeath5000
And assign a Terminator to protect him
PlaceHolderTitle
Look over Luigi's other shoulder it's Mayor Adams standing behind him.
Sholan
That how you REALLY know this was set up as a photo op

Snipers Dream, that dude.
TheVampireDante
They all are. Especially that Andy Dick looking fucker in the chin strap next to Luigi.
Silent1fd
I mean, luigi is 5'7" so the same size as me, average joe will look like that, my bro is 5'11" and towers over me like this.
TinaEveFox
I was almost 6'2" with my work boots on and sometimes on the subway I'd be a whole head above everyone else, there would be another tall dude near me like "hey man, how's it going."
greymw
"work boots"
....hmmm
bippityboppitybuttsex
Just an ordinary militarized cop.
johnxbear
Still too much of a coward to stop a school shooter.
bippityboppitybuttsex
What, and get his gear dirty?
Exdeath5000
Yea, mainly commenting on size / height difference
Fabulously
He will be back
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Strange use of the word "ordinary"
bippityboppitybuttsex
Every American cop looks like they are in the middle of a SeAL team raid to kill Bin Laden...
bobisslack
This pomp and circumstance is brought to you by your tax dollars at work. Rest easy knowing that your CEOs, unlike your children, have a personal security detail in the form of the local constabulary.
KleptoKea
Rest easy is what Americans are good at, evidently, even when their country faces problems other populations wouldn't tolerate even a fraction of.
KrampusCopia
The funny thing is that they are giving Luigi so much press for this that it almost ensures someone else will do it
Snooj
What is that, five armed guards, two of whom are brandishing, and at least 2-3 other security detail as well? Then a whole entourage of press.
dyerzeve
And a nyc mayor, showing himself off like he caught him
fightfightfightlosewinfight
plus his security detail, that's all the plain clothes dudes in the back.
casbott
Then there's the Terrorism charges.
They could have simply charged him with 1st degree murder, which still could keep him locked up for life under NY State Law.
By making it terrorism, they effectively assign an ideological Cause to his actions, which has to be defined.
So they are helping Luigi classify his beliefs by labelling them as an ideology.
They might as well publish a mission statement for CEO hunting at this point - "its called the Red White and Blue Army Faction"
vegivamp
RWBAF doesn't really run off the tongue, though. Needs a couple less letters...

Quizz25S
Funny thing is all this is probably to keep people from freeing him, not to keep people from hurting him. Can't have that.
BigJoocy
I believe they admitted it was to prevent him from being freed by copycats.
If it had anything to do with his safety he'd be in a vest.
goaldigga
Perf comment. Ty
etherbunny41
Yeah, but kids die all the time. Maybe if more CEOs died they'd get ignored the same? I think we should test the theory.
Malinut
Not so much a constabulary as more cunt than stable from what we've heard over here!
AllTheKitties
My favorite part is the jackets that say "FBI NYPD JTF" (presumably joint task force). Not weird that such a thing exists, but why do they need special team jackets???
busterfixxitt
What, are they planning to 'Ruby' him & are setting up their 'Look how much protection we gave him!' alibi?
TheWombatStrikesAgain
"It might look bad at first glance, but be honest: how much do your children really contribute to the national economy?" - UHG spokesperson
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
With the cost of child specific items being multiples of the adult version? My niece probably contributes more to the economy than my broke adult ass does.
TsubakiTragic
Children ARE the national economy. Japan, South Korea and others are desperately trying to get women to bonk and have kids because of falling populations that are going to have a massive impact on their economies.
Kaysmira
I've heard that even China is starting to sweat over their falling birthrates. They spent a couple generations demonizing families with more than one child, ended up skewing the gender split of the entire planet toward male, and are slowly finding their young people have no more money than our young people do, and don't want to start families when they can't afford a home to raise them in either.
TsubakiTragic
China's problem was an "own goal" of ideology that "unfortunately" the ladies took to heart and shut up shop on the baby making equipment. Natural reaction from Xi and Co was to demand everyone started bonking to which the response to date has been... crickets. Young women all over the modern world have decided they want a career/education/travel before (if ever) making crotch goblins. Can't blame 'em.
TsubakiTragic
yeah, I don't know who's running the PR Dept for "the authorities" but you would have though ALL PR Depts would have learned something after Streisand's little fiasco. Images such as this are going to firmly embed Luigi into folklore.

Who tf is that behind him? If I didn't know fictional universes better, I'd swear that was Black Noir!
FreshNews247
Well we don't know a few theories, Ultraman (Earth 3 Evil Superman, probably a clone in this universe), Bizarro Superman maybe. We just ain't sure.
