The mayor of New York City literally said in an interview that the guy was masked the whole time and the face pictures were generated using “police techniques”. Why is no one talking about this???
Mayor Eric Adams said Friday morning that the investigation was “on the right track.” In an interview on Spectrum News NY1, the mayor added: “This person was fully masked, and we used good old-fashioned police work to come up with the picture you have.”
I think what the mayor is saying here is that because the alleged killer was masked, the cops actually had to do some detective work, canvas door-to-door maybe, pull security footage, that sort of thing. It wasn’t just a case of sitting back and running facial recognition on the killer like something outta CSI.
That was the quote. Thanks, I really did not understand that. I mean, if the guy was “fully masked”, they wouldn’t have a face shot. He should have said he was “mostly masked”.
I assume they meant full masked during the shooting, but if there are enough cameras you can follow where someone originated from before they put their mask on and grab a image of their face from maybe a dozen streets away half an hour before the shooting.

I think you’re probably misinterpreting the quote. Here’s the reporting on this from the NYT:

Unless you’re thinking of a different quote.

Yeah I can see how the quote is super misleading.
