New bodycam footage shows the intense arrest of Luigi Mangione after a five-day manhunt.

“It’s f**king him, dude,” a male officer his heard telling his female coworker.

She too was surprised.

“No f**king way,” she responded in the video released by CNN.

Officers found a gun magazine wrapped in underwear at the McDonald’s where Mangione was first arrested and later found the firearm that shot United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Investigative journalist Gerald Posner was among those who found the video compelling and said, “Little wonder Mangione’s defense team worked so frenetically to get all of this thrown out.”

Luigi Mangione fans might want to watch the just-released arrest bodycam footage.

Mangione, 28, pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges in August and has since asked a “judge to toss his state murder case on the claim he’s protected under double jeopardy laws following his plea,” the New York Post reported.

Mangione shot Thompson in the back on a Manhattan street and became somewhat of a hero to many on the far left, and it’s unlikely the new footage will do anything to pull them into sanity.

Posner reminded that he even had “groupies”:

These three ‘Mangionistas’—Abril Rios, Ashley Rojas & Lena Weissbrot—are NOT journalists. They’re ghoulish murder Mangione groupies who scored NYC press passes to cheer an accused assassin who shot a man in the back. They don’t claim innocence—they celebrate the killing.

They don’t deny that he killed him, just that he did nothing wrong.
