The Union officer made a good point early in the show.  The man had blood on him.  He was carrying a knife.  What if the policeman had run back to his car and found that this particular homeless and possibly mentally disturbed person had left a body in that bathroom?  It's quite possible to cut a throat with an exacto knife (I managed to nearly take off my little finger).  After murdering someone the man is horrified and comes out of the bathroom and confronts the policeman.

The policeman had no idea if the guy was mentally disturbed to the point of being homocidal.  He was certainly suicidal!  I think I have a right to walk the parks in safety.
