The unnecessary delay a Police Officer takes before lawfully taking someone's life. An unnecessary delay that puts an officer in grave danger himself because he is fearful of unjust criticism and scrutiny from the media, critics, citizens, celebrities and politicians, etc. The fear a Police Officer experiences for being wrongly accused of being a racist in a fatal shooting.
That cop almost got wasted because of the Ferguson Effect waiting too long to shoot Jimmy Jones fearing he would be called a racist.

Get the The Adrian Effect mug.Named after the ship between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Edward Nygma/The Riddler from the 2022 movie “The Batman”, The Riddlerbat Effect is where ship content made by a teenager, that most commonly (but not always) involves two grown men that are greatly mischaracterized as if they were half their age; woobification. This is due to the fact that teens can’t relate to people in their 30s, nor do they have any idea what grown adults with full-time jobs do in their free time.
I can tell that The Riddlerbat Effect is kicking in with JohnJack over there. Why else would teenagers draw John Doe as a neet twink and Jack Deer as a brooding emo?
