But if that's his new cope then why is he talking about the cop's gloves putting the cocaine in the kid's hair? Was it a Reese's peanut butter cups moment where the cops were rubbing coke all over the kids to frame Nick only for Aaron to do a Jim look directly into the camera because he'd already dosed them to frame Nick?
I appreciate that everything Nick says is a lie, but I'd appreciate if he could at least stick to one at a time.
Every time I'm forced to hear or hear about Rekieta talking about his kid and the "Kind, Fatherly Pat on the Head by Cop Part of Secret Vindictive Plot to Frame Nick Rekieta!!!" garbage, I get just so disgusted. He is a compulsive liar, and a ridiculous one.
I have (unfortunately) irl extensive experience with every one of Nick's slippery, lying techniques with a (spoiler alert) actual clinically diagnosed overt narcissist*. My first exposure to Rekieta immediately rang a bell, but I withheld full judgment until I saw a little more. And since then it's been years of 100% reaffirmation, no matter how ludicrous the lie or degrading the situation. Nick is absolutely diagnosable with a personality disorder. The incessant eeliness and destructive, ridiculous, and "just as likely to be pointless as to have a practical purpose beyond being reflexively difficult, grandiose, and incapable of honesty" qualities of his approach to any and every conversation regularly reach Beckett-levels of absurdity.
Question: if there was a big plan, why did the cop single out only one kid, and why did the cops as a whole not find ways/opportunities to sprinkle some bits on the other kids?
Answer: because it's an absolutely retarded theory that makes no sense and has no internal nor external logic. It's stupid, and improbable, and would be either a career-ending risk or corruption to
literally incredible degrees. Yes, Nick, you are an embarrassment to the town and no one likes you - in part because they know you look down your nose at them, and they know what a joke that is. But jfc, you are just not important. You're just a tacky, annoying, hedonistic scofflaw who's brought shame to the state, your profession, and your family. You're
irritating, not
important.
* lol, tell me this article couldn't serve as Rekieta's biography (and if you're on VPN, you might get a flagged notice, but it will go through if you tell it to):

...oh my fuck, here's a quote

:
In extreme cases, the narcissist feels above the law - any kind of law. This grandiose and haughty conviction leads to criminal acts, incestuous or polygamous relationships, and recurrent friction with the authorities.
Another primer for Nick's flavor of narcissism:
