"this guy came to report a missing wallet, let's add him to the list of the suspects" - what kind of reasoning is this???

I mean, I feel like that's classic cop reasoning....

It's cop "reasoning". They're barely literate and their investigation isn't to find the guilty party, it's so they can find someone that blame will stick to.

Police reasoning, d'uh.

Certifying to become a police officer requires less hours than finishing a Street Fighter game.
