That's macabre. "Hey, let's put a loudspeaker on a van and tell everyone about the murder that happened here". What were they thinking? Wow.

Why not let them do their jobs? They may knock on 100 doors to get a lead that solves the crime, why do you sneer at the fact that 99 of them don't pan out?

So the next time you're going to a bar will you pick the dangerous bar or the one next door? Plenty of bars to choose from... Regulars are important to a business. The cop's not really expecting information from you, he's pressuring the bar owner for info/other reasons/whatever, or he'll keep coming in and asking the patrons. Don't assume the cop's an idiot.

The cop’s not really expecting information from you, he’s pressuring the bar owner for info/other reasons/whatever, or he’ll keep coming in and asking the patrons.

Don’t assume the cop’s an idiot.
