Perhaps the police had found out where the quote was from, perhaps I was so familiar with the due process of investigation, or perhaps they didn't think it proper to detain someone just for his T-shirt, perhaps they were alerted by my warning that I will put my experience online, they compromised, asking what I wanted.
Tal vez el policía descubrió de dónde venía la cita, tal vez yo estaba tan familiarizado con el debido proceso de investigación, o tal vez no pensaron que era adecuado detener a alguien solamente por su polo, tal vez los alertó mi advertencia de poner en línea mi experiencia, transigieron, y me preguntaron qué quería.
