Read the NYPD’s Mangione report the media won't publish
If you’re a social media user who’s expressed anything other than condemnation for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, counterterrorism authorities might consider you an “extremist.” That’s according to yet another document the media refuses to publish in full. In the holiday spirit of generosity, we’ve included a copy below.
Days after the murder, the NYPD circulated an intelligence report focusing not just on alleged killer Luigi Mangione but even ordinary people expressing sympathy for him online. Warning of “a wide range of extremists” that “may view Mangione as a martyr,” the report’s title singles out “disdain for corporate greed.”
The report, produced by the NYPD’s Intelligence & Counterterrorism Bureau on December 9, was blasted out to law enforcement and counterterror partners across the country. It was also leaked to select major media outlets which refused to permit the public to read the document — though these outlets were happy to quote selectively from it. The media’s quotes and paraphrases tended to stress the document’s focus on Mangione but not its focus on his many sympathizers. That’s the problem with selective disclosure: the selections often leave out important facts. By withholding documents and unilaterally deciding which portions merit public disclosure, the media is playing god.
Titled “Writings of Alleged Perpetrator of UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting Reveal Grievances Against Health Insurance Company, Disdain for Corporate Greed,” the intelligence report reads:
