Hot drat. Just reading through this thread, and it is all very interesting, but this has to be the worst misheard-lyrics-thing I ever made. Just before, Dot has Wayne take his coat. So I heard him, faltering and mumbling, protest about this "A man... has a coat." Especially with his funky diction I didn't think this was weird because I took the entire scene as the three of them systematically derobing him of his affectations, ending at the core of him, eating love instead of sin, thus entirely undoing him as the unstoppable force so thematic to the works of the Coen Brothers.

Also feel like Witt and Danish died due to the same thing: lack of fear for a cornered animal. They were unafraid for diametrically opposed reasons, but equally foolish to be so none the less.

Exactly. Witt died because of fear. Danish died because of a lack of it.

Rewatched it and have to disagree. I see a man who is trying his hardest not to needlessly kill someone who he is arresting. His voice is steady, his actions are decisive, he faces danger head on without blinking. He does not like what is happening and has a clear idea of what might happen if he persists but does so with only the slightest trepidation and hesitation. I feel he does this every time throughout the series when he is faced with overwhelming intimidation: he is unflinching and unrelenting in doing what is right. I do not see him as afraid but as someone who is gentle and does not put any negative emotions in his words or even the violence he has to use. I see that gentleness as the cause of his death.
