Cop should have spent more time chasing the perps SPOILER


It was annoying me how much time she was spending on the victim/survivor rather than working on the case/pursuing the suspects.

Of course in the end she was on to something, but perhaps she would have met a better end, if she had stuck to the suspects rather than the victim.

What can I say, I didn't appreciate her condescending attitude. Just as I was beginning to like her....

Its stated the police have no clue, only a suspect which was killed by Grey shortly after , she began to suspect Grey when she found footage of him near the scene of the suspect's home. Grey is like the only lead she have and if hes out there somehow killing people its a crime and she need to stop it.

Yeah I didn’t really like that either.

It seemed pretty unbelievable, that her first thought after seeing a guy in a wheelchair on camera near the scene, is to think he somehow did it.

We also know she was thinking he was the one who did it because she checked his boots.

So to follow, she knows the guy is can’t move his body. But somehow thinks he killed a trained military man.

So then rather than track that guys known associates, she focuses all her attention on the guy in a wheelchair.

Now maybe that was part of STEMS plan so he could break Greys mind.

Overall though it shows her as a really good cop, yet somehow she wasn’t able to get any leads on the guys who killed the wife.

I'm so happy to see someone else bring this up! It seemed like the police relied mainly on drones to do policing for them and all they did was spend the day studying a computer screen. You would think that a future PD would have a lot more technology accessible to be able to find out the things that STEM found, like the arm tattoo. It was pretty shitty police work or just lazy police work. One in the same, actually.
