I think 20-year-veteran Sergeant McFarland makes a BIT more than $9 an hour.
I think he’s a wee bit less interested in making a valid point than in being right in his own eyes. He persistently misrepresents the views and words of others, while accenting something that is not even the most important point. Which is HE RISKED SOMEONE’S LIFE TO GIVE A LESSON ON ETIQUETTE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN AT A LATER TIME!
Oh yes, everyone else is wrong, the guy’s superiors are all wrong, only he is right. (rolling eyes)
