Yep I also noticed that in the uncensored video

He walks by and does literally nothing

[u/General-Priority-479 → u/throwaway-aagghh]

There was no danger to property so he had no need to interfere.

Yeah no CEO’s ride the subway

[u/glennfromglendale → u/throwaway-aagghh]

I saw that too. It's winter and everyone has coats on, and yet the woman is standing there on fire, and nobody even tried to pat down the flames.

I was furious

[u/zappariah_brannigan → u/throwaway-aagghh]

At least he didn't point his gun at the person on fire like the cop when A-aron Bushnell self immolated to protest the genocide of Palestine.

Edit: I am not defending the cop, just reminding folks that this isn't even the worst.

They weren't even a normal pig but an Israeli embassy guard.

He was busy looking for gate jumpers.

[u/doktorjackofthemoon → u/throwaway-aagghh]

He literally waves his hand at her as if to say, "I don't have time for this shit"

I got two posts on another sub deleted for pointing this out.

[u/gtamerman → u/nj-rose]

Some of these other subs with these auto mods are super annoying.

[u/nj-rose → u/gtamerman]

The weird thing is that other people were making the same point in reply to me and didn't get removed. I had like 200 upvotes before they removed it. Super weird.

They were praised for their calm heroism by the mayor and commissioner

[u/RaygunsRevenge → u/PerceptionSimilar213]

Cowardice and apathy

[u/Thetruthislikepoetry]

To say the cop did nothing is a bit of a stretch. He made sure no one went near the victim to extinguish the flames and he causally walked to find a fire extinguisher. I’m sure his calming demeanor made the victim feel better as she burned to death.

[u/Heisenburg42]

She wasn't a CEO. There's your problem

[u/sawyerkitty]

To be fair those cops were on acorn duty.

[u/ArcaneHackist]

Why did no one try to pull her out? Or take their jacket off and try to get her to the ground to smother the fire? I can’t imagine just standing there like that

[u/SpecialistTrash2281]

She wasn’t a CEO so they didn’t think she was of any value. Fucking pigs. You’re telling me there was no fire extinguisher anywhere to try to save her life. It’s also fucked that the guy who did it is in the video trying harder than the cops to put out the fire.

[u/Braneasley → u/SpecialistTrash2281]

He was fanning the flames to make them bigger…not to put them out

[u/b4ldheed → u/Braneasley]

That's the point

[u/Mcstoni → u/SpecialistTrash2281]

He wasn't trying to put out the fire....

[u/b4ldheed → u/Mcstoni]

Exactly

[u/BillMillerBBQ]

Didn’t the Supreme Court decide that pigs are under no obligation to help those in danger?

[u/LarryD217]

Because ACAB

[u/negator365]

I'm curious to know his story.

I hate this act, but man, are you in the wrong place focused on the wrong thing.
