I don't like this guy all that much, but this whole thing is a joke and pure politics. He probably just didn't remember the profanity. I doubt that I could remember every word I used in a conversation that goes back quite a while. Can't believe they are going to destroy this guy over something so damn silly.

...and it would be a rare bird indeed who didn't use some sort of exlamation to make a point, in the high pressure world of big city police work, but if you are going to hang your own high, as in the captain, you better be watching your backside.

Yes, it is pure politics, but it is unrealistic to think that he didn't know that he had used foul language with his subordinates. Lying about something so small and irrelevant can get you in trouble, especially if you're under oath, and most especially if political forces are out to get you (rather like Mark Fuhrman's lie about using the "n"-word).
