This is a video of a press conference given by NY armed government workers following the shooting of an apparently bipolar man who was pointing a pipe that looked like a gun at various people. The man was shot by armed government workers and later died.
What’s interesting about this isn’t the shooting but rather the four stars on the shoulder boards and collar of the head armed government worker. A full general! Just like Patton and only a notch in rank below Eisenhower!
How did armed government workers acquire military rank?
Yes, I’ve seen all too many of these porker chiefs IMPERSONATING an “O-10” (Full Admiral or General, note, in the Marines there is by law but ONE, the Commandant) with their four stars…it makes me wonder how many “General Officers” below them, with one, two, or three stars on their shoulders?
That these chiefs dress up in these ridiculous costumes is bad enough. At least the notorious Darryl Gates of LAPD infamy (“Come to Los Angeles…we’ll treat you like a KING”, LAPD) rarely wore his uniform with all the brass, favoring a business suit, as upper police management once typically did. It’s that they’ve acquired not only body armor (that at least is somewhat understandable in some high crime areas), but they’re equipped for the next “Blitzkrieg” in a manner that SS-Shturmbahnfuhrer Jochen Pieper could only have have a wet dream for his “Kampgruppe Peiper” during the Battle of the Bulge, with a disposition to EMPLOY said equipment…on US.

Rank is a very big deal in big city PD’s. It just shows how overgrown most of these departments are that they need that many ranks now.
Now they even dress like “Fascist Pigs”! And fuck all the alarmist Sheeple calling 911, just a bunch of programmed, brain-dead pod-people!
Eric,
I think the term you really mean is not “general” but, rather, Generalissmo.
I’d say we’re living in a Banana Republic with Death Squads but, we’ve long since abandoned the “republic” part and yes, we have no bananas….only Death Squads.
