Welcome to life kids!
We are going to screw you on a technicality just to let you know how it feels!
Ten bucks says those Aholes are sanctuary city proponents that are trying to discourage people from getting involved.
What an excellent way to once again reinforce the ACTUAL truth of things, namely: “Snitches Get Stitches and Wind Up in Ditches”.
That’s the wrong decision, and the NYPD have to know that.
It’s going to crush the goodwill and trust that could have began, with the public knowing of a more proper ending.
The kids did as the public was asked to do. Bad, bad decision. I hope it is reversed.
They probably all come from families that could really use their divided share of that reward cash.
Kids are lucky they weren’t arrested for misusing the 911 line.
the NYPD have NO shame.
they protect rapists, stabbers, and those
who burn people on subways.
and now they steal a reward they promised.
Whoever made this decision based on a call to the wrong number, must be blissfully unaware that they live in a city that’s largely celebrating the assassination of a CEO, largely for denying claims based on fine print and technicalities.
This story encapsulated progressive philosophy in a nutshell. No matter that a criminal was taken off the streets. Only that they called the wrong number.
Elon will probably hear of this and give the kids $100,000. Apiece. That’s MAGA in a nutshell.
Was the justification offered by a DEI type?
Hey, it’s New York...what else can you expect?
As a teen that would have inspired me to go commit crime to “get back” at that bureaucratic bs.
Sounds like Crime Stoppers (New York City Police Foundation) is a grift, run by people more concerned with promoting and sustaining their NGO - quasi-government fiefdom than stopping crime. If they can't claim credit for solving the crime, they can't fundraise millions of $ for catching the killer.
Well I’m sure lefties are all in supporting this just as the were for Luigi’s informant. Right?
That said, what a stupid way to do business. Watch calls drop dramatically now.
And keeping the reward for themselves.
The perp would likely still be free if not for them reporting him. Did the “authorities” expect the entire city to memorize their special number?
Sound like something the radical left would do.
Every time I've asked police representatives at HOA or Townhall meetings which number to call when there are multiple jurisdictions patrolling the neighborhood, the answer is always the same:
Call 911 and they will route the information to the proper place.
The kids did the right thing.

They just don’t want to give away the money.
Creeps.
"“NYPD Crime Stoppers Program offers cash rewards for anonymous information provided to the 1-800-577-TIPS hotline that leads to the arrest and indictment of a violent felon. This program is supported by the New York Police Foundation and focuses on solving high priority violent crimes.”"
How can a reward be granted if "anonymous" calls?
IOW, they never intend to reward.

New York has lost the plot. Someone needs to print up some “I H8 NY” t-shirts. Money to be made!
