Wow, what a moment in time. I've just recorded where I was, when I heard this life changing news.
Moment officers realize they got Luigi Mangione: ‘It’s f—king him’
The video shows Mangione's arrest days after he shot and killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. It was taken from the police body cameras worn by eight Altoona Police officers, and shows different angles of Mangione and his questioning by law enforcement.
In that video, officers can be seen questioning Mangione on December 9, 2024, before he is handcuffed, searched, and taken to a police searching.
It also shows police searching Mangione and his belongings at the police station, including the moment an officer finds a gun inside his backpack.
Mangione can also be seen providing police with a fake ID bearing the name "Mark Rosario," which is the same name that prosecutors said he used to check into a New York hostel prior to Thompson's murder.
The release of the video is the first time they have been seen outside the courtroom.
According to CNN, some of the video was played during a suppression hearing last December, when the defense argued evidence recovered during the arrest should be suppressed because Mangione's backpack was improperly searched.
Mangione's attorneys have asked a judge to dismiss the state murder case against him after his guilty plea in federal court, but the judge has yet to rule on the motion.
They are due back in state court in December.
"Got your ID on you?" - "under suspicion of what crime?
Suspicious behavior is not a crime. Unless the officer can articulate evidence that a crime is in progress, or has been committed, you owe them nothing.
I dont believe anyone of this. No fucking way a McDonald's employee recognized him from that surveillance shot on the news.
At least he was able to eat that sausage egg McMuffin I was worried for awhile
His dick got him bused. He was pretty much unseen until he decided to flirt with the girl at the hotel. That's where they got his face, which was recognized at McD. If he'd kept his cover and played it cool, he would be at home eating spaghetti and meatballs tonight.
Unmasked and put through the ringer for "suspicious"?
He should had pulled out his cellphone and went full First Amendment Auditor on them
“Is that the steak? It’s my favorite”
Gotta establish rapport before you lay down the law.
