This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the future whenever someone's thinking of turning someone in to get the reward money, they'll know they're highly unlikely to get a damn thing.

The average citizen doesn't know, care, or even understand. Nor do they want to.
That's why everyone who cares needs to spread the word.
People don't need to care. They might share it as a fun factoid, they might just say that's crazy and never think about it again
Until they're in a position to get a reward... They'll care then. That little idea they heard in passing will pop up... Maybe it gives them pause.
$10k is pretty tempting for a lot of people...a chance at a $10k reward they've heard rarely is paid out is a lot less tempting
Maybe they Google it first, maybe they think twice about if the crime is worth reporting. Maybe they see the world in black and white and believe it to be their duty
It's worth spreading some information, even to people that don't care

It's also (probably) not true.
"McDonald’s employee who called 911 in CEO’s shooting is eligible for a reward, but it will take time"

Wait for the next step: the franchise fires the employee because of several 1 star reviews and death threats
I'm pretty sure it's already corporate policy to not question people abour fake bills or do anything to stop shoplifters (because insured and liability). Wouldn't be surprised if a new corporate policy crops up if something like that does happen
Can confirm.. store manager.
I joke that our policy for shoplifters is to offer them a bag.
In reality it's to offer them a cart as a non accusatory way of saying "I see you"
As for bills I had my boss suggest I take them to the bank. I had to clarify "and I tell them I believe there is a counterfeit in there... Right ... Otherwise it's dangerously close to trying to pass a counterfeit myself... A felony...."
He paused and answered "sure if that makes you more comfortable"
To be clear I understand and agree with a lot of it. Why should I ask my workers to risk their life over some toothpaste? Why should I ask them to risk their life confronting a counterfeiter who is already done commiting felonies.
I also understand it doesn't help the company. One dead worker will cost the company more than all the product a person could steal. Even with insurance the cost of training even a cashier is nearly $1000. It goes up from there.
It is still frustrating and my employees often take a lot of training to convince them not to care if someone is stealing.
And customers also get frustrated when they tell me someone is stealing and I give them an answer like "that's unfortunate " and go back to work.
and I give them an answer like "that’s unfortunate "
You might want to also let them know that "we're insured for this" and that "nobody is going to lose their job over this, so let's not lose our heads, either."
Also, it'll go a long way to acknowledge how unfair it is that an employee doing the same thing is completely different.
I've been told flat out the cameras are to watch employees

Is it just me that doesn't believe the McDonald's employee thing? I think they used a Pegasus or Stingray type privacy violating device/exploit and just said it was a restaurant employee.
Or they pretended to be a customer and said to the employee, "Gee, that guy really looks a lot like the killer, doesn't he, ha ha wouldn't that be funny, anyway give me a big mac and fries. He does look like him though."

Anyone have a citation about the rat not getting the money? People keep saying that, but I haven't seen a single article posted about it.
this doesn't really add to the discussion, but i just wanted to say thanks for sharing a source. I feel like i don't see it enough, so i appreciate you taking the time to share it
I don't feel like you need to ~~apologize for~~ excuse saying a heartfelt thank you with a text comment, just because it doesn't add to the discussion. We need more of this kindness in the world. ❤️

both the arrest and conviction of the suspect
Makes perfect sense, but that's just a matter of time.
might not be eligible for [the NYPD] part of the reward.
OK, so maybe they won't be getting 10k of the 60k. They would still get 50k if he's convicted. So many people are definitively saying that they're getting none of the money, and that makes no sense.
The tip didn't contribute to conviction, only the arrest. The words "both" and "and" rather than "consequent" are explicit.
The rat won't be paid.

"McDonald’s employee who called 911 in CEO’s shooting is eligible for a reward, but it will take time"
Yeah its good to be skeptical of something like this that everyone wants to be true.
I don't have a citation. But I do believe that you'd normally have to wait for a conviction before getting the reward. Otherwise it could be the wrong guy.

There isn't actually any citation for this, there is however a bunch of articles written pointing to the red tape around reward money and saying "maybe" he wont be paid. But so far I havnt seen anything that shows this as more than conjecture
Also this snitch not being paid would be the dumbest fucking move imaginable if their goal is to have murdering Capitalists not be the new trend.
Do a favor for the cops, they give you nothing and often end up revealing who you are, sometimes by accident.
Do a favor for the mafia and they do one for you

Police: Here's 10, thousand dollars! Thanks for the tip!

I hope someone put the dude face on the internet so everyone knows where to spit when they pass by him
Wasn't a dude, some old lady, she's been chased off social media and threatened.
