Totally agree that he thought of the position as a retirement job. Hate that idea honestly… if you cannot perform the duties required in the worst case situation then it’s time to retire or look for something with less responsibility.Hard to say. In his younger days, maybe he was a good officer. We know he was demoted once for being hard to get along with. Honestly, I think he took the ISD Chief job because it paid well and he thought it would be an easy job to ride to retirement. Then when the fateful day arrived, he was woefully unprepared. To some degree, I almost believe him when he says he didn't know he was in charge at the scene. I don't think he had a clue what his job was other than drive around in a uniform and collect paychecks.
He’s probably got a pretty decent pension from all his years on the force.
Hard to get along with… that tracks. How could he not even acknowledge that this was a tragedy? Him playing the victim in it is behind inappropriate.
