Critics online are furious that the Pennsylvania police force that captured an escaped inmate in Chester County on Wednesday took a photo with the convicted killer following his capture.

Pennsylvania Police finally caught escapee Danelo Cavalcante Wednesday following a weekslong manhunt after a police dog caught the fugitive and bit him on the head, authorities said.

After they caught him, the police force posed for a photo with the prisoner, who is pictured with his head down while blood drips down his face wearing a Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt.

When asked about the criticism of the police photo-op with Cavalcante, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said he was "aware" of the "photo-op taken out there" at a press conference following Wednesday's capture, but didn't appear to take issue with the conduct.

"Those men and women worked amazingly hard, through some very trying circumstances, they're proud of their work," Bivens told reporters Wednesday. "I'm not bothered at all by the fact that they took a photograph with him in custody. Again, they're proud of their work, they kept the community safe. I say thanks to them and good job."

But as the photo and video footage of the men and women posing made rounds online, critics pounced.

Two people posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that they "cannot believe I have to explain why this is inappropriate," referring to the cops' behavior following the inmate's capture.

Another poster said taking a photo with the escapee was "wild" while another called it "truly embarrassing."

"Is this the new policy what the police do now take a selfie with the criminal ? God Bless," yet another X user posted on Wednesday.

People are all riled up on IG as well. Was it stupid and unprofessional? Yes it was.

Is it the end of the world? No it was not.

I have done plenty of stuff in the moment that I later realized was dumb. This is one of those things.

ETA. The use of BOOTLICKER!!!! for anyone who doesn't immediately condemn all police needs to end as well. Including on the OT. Sometimes police do stupid shite, sometimes they do great deeds, sometimes they break the law. You know. Like humans.

No word yet on twitter users opinion on if the convicted murderer was inappropriate in killing someone

Guy murders a woman in cold blood and the activist community doesn't say a word until the police take a picture of the captured murderer.


Does the CIA run these backwards organizations or have people really lost their minds that much?

That doesn't really look like they were posing for a photo to me.

It's a bad look, but not as bad as allowing a murderer to escape prison and elude you for 2 weeks type bad.

No problem with it. Praise for all those involved in the capture. Trophy shot. He's lucky he's not dead and mounted on the wall like a deer. 'Murca!

I do find it comical that they took a pic of a guy they spent two weeks chasing that they never should have allowed to escape in the first place.

The folks in the photo are the ones who captured him, not the ones he escaped from. Thanks to them for cleaning up a serious mess!

Most people who say this tend to never clearly explain their position.

The biggest beef stated in the article is that it took two weeks to catch him. So I guess if it only took two days, they'd all be cool with a photo op.
