Bullshit and weak journalism to be sure.

Nah but for serious, Sarah, intentional? My cynicism radar is finely tuned, but I see nothing here but a momentary fuckup and a "Welp, no harm no foul, I'll be over here until Sarge calls."

I don't know, in the 2 seconds they showed it kind of looked like the cop was simply oblivious to Kawauchi's presence and once he glanced over he immediately (but calmly) drifted away from him. And it's cut off but the cop gives what looks like a shrug a couple seconds after.

He looks like the Judge Holden from Blood Meridian.
