Police group photo with captured inmate Danelo Cavalcante generates criticism online
CBSN
Shortly after escaped inmate Danelo Cavalcante was captured in Pennsylvania on Wednesday following an intense 14-day manhunt, law enforcement officials posed for a group photo with the convicted killer.
The moment —showing dozens of officers in camouflage, holding weapons, surrounding Cavalcante— was captured by a helicopter from CBS Philadelphia station KYW, and it generated some criticism on social media.
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, said the photo was in "bad taste."
A group of House Democrats Tuesday called for action from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, days after CBS News published an investigation which found dozens of law enforcement officials illegally sold firearms, even weapons of war, across 23 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
