Because he is true detective

All right Bukowski. You just coudn't let it lie, could you?

Sir —

The D.A.'s office thinks it was an accident. City Hall thinks it was an accident. The Imperial Bureau of Investigation thinks it was an accident. What makes you so god-damned special?

Sir, I just don't see how an entire planet could explode like that for no reason.

You think, what, the whole Empire is lying to us?

I just want to check out that new space station, sir. It was in the area —

The Death Star? That's just a cosmological research facility and you know it.

Sir, with all due respect, if I could just get on board, I —

Bukowski, you are not to go within ten parsecs of that station and that's an order.

But sir —

I want your badge, your blaster and your other blaster. You're suspended.

What?

I just got off the video link with the mayor. He wanted your ass. I talked him down to a fourteen-day suspension. Damned if I know why. Now get out of here.

>Ah, good evenink, officer Kowalski, officer Ramirez. It has been too lonk!
>Drop the act, Count. We know it was you who hit up that jewelry store.
>And hov vould you knov this, vhen I do not shov up in security kamera footage?
>Why, we didn't until you just told us. See, we didn't say anything about any security cameras.
>You're a klever man, Kowalski, for one vho has yet to live a single lifetime

>AND YOUR LAST RESORT GUN
>pulls out a gun from under his foreskin (character is polish diaspora)

>Have you shown this to anyone else?
>No, not yet
