Actually Joe Friday never said these exact words.

Sexist or nor, this is not good polce work since it is the unasked questions and unprovoked responses that sometimes holds the clues to solving a crime.

Now that I’m mostly recovered from Covid my mind seems to be functioning well enough to write a blog.

I got the idea for this while listening to woman being interview on NPR talking about how she was trying to motivate Trump supporters to vote.

She was telling the interviewer how she was trying to convince them about how great Trump was, and would be, for them and the country if reelected and how Joe Biden would bring nothng short of a biblical Hell-Fire and Damnation.

I thought about how satisfying it would be to arrest her and take her down to the police station to be interrogated.

Alas, this wouldn’t be a case of showing her incontrovertible evidence that Trump was a criminal guilty of many crimes. Below, she could be shown photos of the weapon used to kill an opponent with his fingerprints on them and she still wouldn’t believe “just the facts.”

My choice for the best TV detective is Kyra Sedgwick as Brenda Leigh Johnson in The Closer when it comes to interview skill.
