This likely means that the knife never existed in the first place, and was made up by the cops in order to justify shooting into a crowd.

Man, even the article can’t get the story straight…
“NYPD can’t find knife”…
“the department put out a request seeking the public’s help to find the knife”…
“a man believed to have swiped the suspect’s knife”…
“Video circulating on social media appears to show the man scoop up the knife”…
OK, that’s all consistent…
“the NYPD posted on X that the knife had been “recovered” following the police shooting.”
Um, no.
"Below is a picture of the weapon recovered from the scene of today’s incident. pic.twitter.com/D3AZjNr4cL

Recovered? But then…
“Now, they are seeking the individual potentially in possession of the weapon”… Did you or did you not recover the weapon?
“the now-missing knife”… OK, so NOT recovered.
The current position of the NYPD is that some random black guy wandering past a crime scene after the cops shot up a crowd decided to steal the knife that the cops considered to be key evidence. This is, to put it mildly, somewhat less credible than the claim that a crow tried to steal a murder weapon.
Honestly I find Russian general’s belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.
Nearly 1000 days later, even.
“Hey, free knife”
The police don’t want you to know this, but the knives at crime scenes are free. You can take them home with you. I have 458 knives.
Did you rob a knife store and created your own crime scene to make the knives free?
Of course they say the guy was black. 🙄
Translation: “We’d love someone to come forward with a knife and claim it’s from the crime scene, so we can cover our asses.”
The police have not been a credible source of information since the BLM protests. I’m sure they lied all the time before that too but that period really put a light on how much they lie. It’s their first instinct in any situation, just deny anything wrong happened and cast aspersions on the victim’s character.
Police unions are terrorist orgs
Police have never really been a source of credible information. We just have the tools and technology to reveal when they are lying now.
Yeah, that’s probably true.
Purposely creating confusion
By “recovered” the cops unironically mean the opposite of recovered - as in a non-police person has taken the knife.
I can’t tell from just this article if I should lean more to standard cop butchering of language or intentional deception.
EDIT: Or not? I found another article that says they retracted that statement about recovering the knife - that it was the wrong knife. That definitely doesn’t make me less suspicious…
“Oh, no, not THAT knife, it’s a different knife… from Canada… you don’t know it…”
Shouldn’t the knive have a shadow?
