Because everyone thinks they’re just going to either explain what happened and it’ll all be fine (it won’t), or they think they can just weave a great big lie and the cops will buy it (they won’t). Don’t talk to the police without an attourney. If you’re in that chair, it’s because they want to implicate you in some way, regardless of right or wrong. While they might throw a fit about it, refusing to speak without an attourney present is your right and is in no way an admission of guilt.
and the cops will buy it (they won’t).
The vast majority of cops are really dumb, so I disagree with this statement. However, cops are highly motivated to not give a shit about whether a suspect is actually guilty. They’re motivated to get a confession or conviction, regardless of innocence or guilt.
Assuming the cops are dumb (enough) is a really risky strategy. And even if you are lucky and they are, they might just end up making a lucky guess.
Plus, they’ve been through this game hundreds of times, while you most likely have quite limited experience with the system (hopefully). Never underestimate that.

I am not saying to assume that they’re dumb. I’m saying to assume that they’re malicious
That is a much safer assumption. Assume they are both malicious and smart. If they aren’t, you haven’t lost anything (except for the very small chance to get away with something, but if you rely on the cops being benevolent and/or dumb, maybe overthink your whole plan).
No. Assuming they’re smart isn’t necessary, nor is it realistic.
All you need to assume is that they’re malicious. They are rewarded for fucking people over. That’s all that matters
Now grow up and quit insisting on having the last word in the argument as if that makes you right
Nice bait: do I take it, and therefore lose, or do I not, and therefore let you have the last word?
Eh, we all know it. I am right, since I have the last word. I work at a pretty slow job, I have unlimited coffee and time, try me.
