Calling him Frank Sobotka gives Chiarelli way too much credit (though if they ever do a TV re-enactment of that scene above, and they absolutely should, then that actor is a surefire lock to play him). If there was a character from "The Wire" who represents Chia,
it's Herc, the bungling detective who has a much higher opinion of himself than is warranted. In one season he tries orchestrating some complex surveillance operation on Marlo, only to end up getting all the police's equipment stolen.
Oh and that scene is nothing. You should watch "Oil Change." There was a truly laughable scene in there where Steve Tambellini mumbles through a PowerPoint presentation and Kevin Lowe constantly yells over him. It's astounding how rampant the incompetence runs in Edmonton and long it's held sway there.
