My favorite part is where the Mayor throws the cop under the bus. That's a great way to keep an effective police force.
While the sister only said that he had trouble hearing, do you really think she would have mentioned that at all, if it was due to his own behavior before the fact?
For instance religiously attending every WHO concert(they are in the Guinness Book of World Records for the loudest concert at 120 decibels) and being in the front row every time.....I don't think so.
