Because police aren’t responsible with analysis, they’re social cleanup. They show up to separate and dissolve a terrible situation, it’s someone else’s job to sort out right and wrong.
It’s not a dig at cops but a realization that their job starts and ends with stopping whatever fuckup has occurred so that someone else can adjudicate what’s right and wrong when the scene is safe.
They are the big dogs of the pack who step in to stop other dogs from biting and fighting. Once things are normalized they move on to the next situation and this problem is turned over those familiar with law and process.
