In a moment of "you have to read it to believe it" Bloomberg admits what many of us have suspected, the NYPD is his own army. This quote is so epic it should live on forever in the halls of narcissistic assholedom. Take it away Mike….
“I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have,” Mayor Bloomberg said.
The stab at Washington, having his own State Department and a hook into the international diplomatic world as well smacks of trying to say he has more power than Washington. Take note Secretary Clinton and President Obama, Bloomberg doesn't need you! He's got it all, and more. Saying the NYPD is the seventh largest army in the world isn't something to brag about, it's outright terrifying and wrong. And we now know that he views the NYPD not as a police unit, but as a military one. This explains so much.
He get's a few more digs in and makes a bigger ass out of himself. Please click and read the rest.
