It also turns out it is widely known throughout the department that this is the kind of behavior the Chiefs son regularly engages in. When you turn in your report your Sergeant tears it up and tells you to forget about it. You decide to report it higher but then the Chief calls you in to offer you a high-status promotion if you forget about it. Do you forget about it?
