** Another example:
---> '''Ron Drexler''': Is that a threat?
---> '''Det. Fontana''': A threat? No. A threat would be more like... "If you stonewall this investigation any more I'm gonna break your jaw. And when you're on the ground, I'm gonna kick you 'till you spit blood you cheap shyster." That would be a threat. This is more of a request.
