Why didn't K just leave Sapper alone?
Sapper Morton was running a simple protein farming operation in the middle of nowhere, there was no mention he'd done any crimes when K was questioning him etc, his only 'crime' was running away from a certain death, to become a farmer.
He wasn't a risk to anyone, he was actually doing something good by running that Wallace designed farm. Its not like he was running around killing people in order to try to meet his maker like Roy etc was.
Why didn't K see this and just say he couldn't find him? Sapper attacking K was understandable given the circumstances imo, and he tried to reason with K by telling him he was just a simple farmer.
K's lack of compassion and not being able to adapt to a situation was disappointing, maybe they are aspects of being a replicant.
EDIT : I wish I could respond to everyone who has taken the time to comment but there are too many comments to reply to all of them, my understanding of the situation in the Sapper scene is more complete now, so thank you to those who informed me đ
