Online critics are outraged after Pennsylvania police posed for a photo with an escaped inmate they captured in Chester County.
Pennsylvania Police finally apprehended escapee Danelo Cavalcante, ending a weeks-long manhunt that involved a police dog biting him on the head.
After the arrest, the police force took a photo with the prisoner, who was wearing a Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt while blood dripped down his face.
When questioned about the controversy surrounding the photo-op, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens acknowledged the situation but supported his team’s actions.
Bivens told reporters, “Those men and women worked incredibly hard, under challenging circumstances. They are proud of their work, and I have no issue with them taking a photograph with the suspect in custody. They ensured the community’s safety, and I thank them for their good job.”
The photo and video footage of the police posing circulated online, leading to further criticism.
Two individuals
posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), expressing disbelief over the police behavior following the inmate’s capture.
Another individual described taking a photo with the escapee as “wild,” while
someone else considered it “truly embarrassing.”
“Is this the new policy? Have the police started taking selfies with criminals? God Bless,” another X user posted on Wednesday.
Other comments pointed out the police’s apparent pride in capturing the escaped inmate but criticized the time it took to apprehend him.
“They finally caught the killer and then took a selfie with him. Lmao, the police are a big joke,” one X user wrote.
Another individual commented, “The police posed with Cavalcante like they won the Super Bowl after he had outsmarted them for two weeks.”
