Is this officer wearing gloves?

I may have just blown this case wide open.

Klingons use bat’leths. Rookie error.

[Dan O'meara]

A bat'leth is some kind of double-sided scimitar/hook sword/lujiaodao hybrid-edged weapon with a curved blade, four points, and three handholds on the back.

We are clearly looking at some kind of Disruptor.

I'm obviously onto something, otherwise you wouldn't be trying to muddy the water.

This from the guy who's still stuck way, way back at the 'No, I can't explain that shadow down Lovelady, but I know it means nothing' stage of denial.



Now! Back to the question:

Is this police officer wearing gloves?

[Alan Ford]

As a number of researchers have noted in the past, a certain motorcycle policeman seems to be heading not straight for the front steps but for a point somewhat east of them

It was Mr. Sandy Larsen who first spotted this back in 2016, posting this striking GIF:



Mr. Larsen suspected Officer Baker was heading for the Dal-Tex building, but------------to his lasting credit-------------was not dogmatic about this single solution.

He wrote: "It is obvious that Baker was not headed for the TSBD entrance. (He was headed to the right of it.) But if not, what explains the path he is taking?"

I believe we now have the answer to his question.
