Answer and Explanation:
1. The policeman tries to change the focus of the crime that happened. He looks for a way to get Star to display information that allows him to modify what really happened about Khalil's death and put him as the culprit in the story, with Khalil being killed by a racist police officer who used the abuse of authority to do this. .
2. Star doesn't fall for the bait and even though she knows that Khalil was involved in the drug trade, she knows that his murder had nothing to do with it and that he was murdered unfairly, due to the abuse of power and violence police against blacks.
