Three cops in a bar on election night

Some instances encapsulate everything going on elsewhere.....

Tuesday night in Pipin's was one such instance

There were three cops at the bar....

Let's start off with  ---  how did you know they were cops ??? 

Well, it's pretty much the same as the way that you knew it was raining out last Tuesday night and for some reason there were orange cones all over Third and Fifth Avenue to stop people parking there.....  That and their cop jargon about this in  the "72" or that in the "69,"  something or other only going on "...in 'this part of Brooklyn," and  "people around here not knowing how good they have it".....

The friend of mine asked for some of the more viewable TVs to turned to the election results that until then were only on one screen in the corner;  and the bartender said sure  ---  the three suddenly seemed to start talking under their breath rather than how they seemed to be chatting  a couple of minutes before.

The big instant came a while later,  around ten o'clock when it was obvious that the cable network covering the elections was not going to do local coverage.  My friend spoke over toward the three guys in suits,  "Did you hear how Marty Golden is doing ?"

The answer from one of the guys was quick and to the point  ---  "There's no results on that tonight...."  It wasn't long later that the three left.

It's kinda funny  ---  maybe these guys weren't cops  (Right, maybe they weren't !!!)  ---  but  ---  WHY THE ATTITUDE  --- AND  ---  HOW DID THEY KNOW ?????
