The cowboy films , the cops and robbers films , and the slapstick comedy films culminating in an insane chase are not_only catering to what critics may assume to be a vulgar taste for violence ; these films and these sequences are also seeking_out - instinctively or by_design - the peculiarly cinematic elements of narrative .

(Hampton Stone, The Man Who Looked Death...)

The meat wagon , therefore , was not out in_front of the house any_more , but the cluster of squad_cars was still there and there was a cop on the door downstairs to screen any comings and goings .

There was , furthermore , the crowd of curious onlookers gathered in the street and a couple more cops to hold them at a decent distance .

You shoulder your way through the cluster of the curious and you barge up to the cop on the door .
