They don't have the clinical training to put it into context, but they do a good job.
And you did some good work on forensic research in college.

Interesting, but police officers will sometimes at a crime scene or interviewing
witnesses will get a strange feeling that something is very off.
Or that they feel creepy. Like you are reporting.

They are not sure why, but we can see that their brain is picking up something
that has not yet formed into conscious thought. Just a feeling initially.
