No....I meant what I posted.

Okay, but anyone not determined to maintain the "blue wall of silence" would have meant it the other way, though.

If they have some evidence the suspect they were looking for was Jim Jones reincarnated as a woman, and was holding a thousand toddler nuns hostage in the room, planning to kill them all in fifteen seconds, sharing that would do wonders for justifying the decision to kick in the door. Instead, all they've released is that they wanted to question said suspect, which for some reason had to be done immediately by a plainclothes officer.

They're being conveniently quiet about what they were actually after in the first place, but it does seem awfully fishy to be in that much of a hurry to get into a motel room; no back door and the only window is almost always the one right by the door, so no hidden escape route, but they couldn't wait for a uniform to handle the initial contact?
