The FBI fitness test: hire people who have a higher statistical possibility of being narcissistic. (Wikipedia: "Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's own attributes.")
Respect my authority. Bow and be reverent when I question you. Be glad I don't beat you to a bloody pulp right here when nobody is looking.
- hawkice 10y agoThis sounds like way too much, but the sibling comment is a bit too little. Saying fatsos don't get a badge and a get a shittier title IS a deliberate status punishment. Reminds me of strong negative opinions I have about high school, where push-up ability translates into pecking order position. Comey's statement does seem at least slightly vainglorious. He certainly has a high opinion of how the FBI should be viewed (exceeding, for instance, 'professional' or 'public servant's), and believes it should be obvious who FBI agents are, which will annihilate their undercover operations. So he is sacrificing a lot in order to get big(ger), dumb(er, due to firing and not hiring good investigators) jocks. But I don't think it is meant to engender obedience or fear in civilians. I think it is just a Bad Decision.
