Link.

The case is still open goons, maybe we can solve this!

Conservative advocacy group America's Survival Inc wanted to open a 40 year old bombing case, immediately after associating Obama with Ayers and calling Ayers Obama's mentor and so forth.

Case closed.

Yeah, when I saw that name pop up, I had that same reaction.

In all likely hood, that FBI informant probably did bombed the station as part of a FBI COINTELPRO operation to make it look bad for Weather Underground and never confessed to the crime since he would be serving jail time for terrorist acts, despite helping the government.

Sergeants as a term come from medieval Europe, where it was an officer on protective duty and to keep order i.e "sergeant-of-arms". Sergeant itself came from household servants capable of fighting, like a knight in service to a house. I believe it's used as a rank because, much like the military, they're supposed to be team leaders.

quote:

c. 1200, "servant," from Old French sergent, serjant "(domestic) servant, valet; court official; soldier," from Medieval Latin servientum (nominative serviens) "servant, vassal, soldier" (in Late Latin "public official"), from Latin servientem "serving," present participle of servire "to serve" (see serve (v.)); cognate with Spanish sirviente, Italian servente; a twin of servant, and 16c. writers sometimes use the two words interchangeably.

Specific sense of "military servant" is attested from late 13c.; that of "officer whose duty is to enforce judgments of a tribunal or legislative body" is from c. 1300 (sergeant at arms is attested from late 14c.). Meaning "non-commissioned military officer" first recorded 1540s. Originally a much more important rank than presently. As a police rank, in Great Britain from 1839.

Middle English alternative spelling serjeant (from Old French) was retained in Britain in special use as title of a superior order of barristers (c. 1300, from legal Latin serviens ad legem, "one who serves (the king) in matters of law"), from which Common Law judges were chosen; also used of certain other officers of the royal household. sergeant-major is from 1570s.

That's because they are officers. Literally the O in NCO stands for Officer. And they don't actually do any work either.

quote:

On May 13, 1985, the police, along with city manager Leo Brooks, arrived in force with arrest warrants and attempted to clear the building and arrest the indicted MOVE members.[14] This led to an armed standoff with police,[15] who lobbed tear gas canisters at the building. MOVE members fired at the police, who returned fire with automatic weapons.[16] Commissioner Sambor then ordered that the compound be bombed.[16] From a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter, Philadelphia Police Department Lt. Frank Powell proceeded to drop two one-pound bombs (which the police referred to as "entry devices"[14]) made of FBI-supplied water gel explosive, a dynamite substitute, targeting a fortified, bunker-like cubicle on the roof of the house.[1]

The resulting explosions ignited a fire that eventually destroyed approximately 65 nearby houses. The firefighters, who had earlier deluge-hosed the MOVE members in a failed attempt to evict them from the building, stood by as the fire caused by the bomb engulfed the first house and spread to others, having been given orders to let the fire burn. Officials feared that MOVE would shoot at the firefighters. Eleven people (John Africa, five other adults and five children aged 7 to 13) died in the resulting fire and more than 250 people were left homeless.[18] Ramona Africa, one of the two survivors, stated that police fired at those trying to escape the burning house, while the police stated that MOVE members had been firing at police.[19]

COINTELPRO is no joke. they poison every single thing in the town i live in. every day i spend hours examining water bottles for signs of tampering which are incredibly hard to find but they're there. i usually go to the gas station and nuke them in the microwave before i even think of drinking it. even then they could be monitoring my movements and planting particles in it or emitting waves that wouldn't be detectable by taste. i wouldn't have to live like this if i didn't catch them one night coming into my house to steal a tape out of my VCR and record damaging information onto to let my wife find. trying to find a spot to park my car and sleep at night takes me hours, ever power-line has transmitters that can target and burn your genitals/anus; keeping you from sleeping.

we all call them NCO's, but we do so with the understanding that it's an antiquated term and that the term "officer" always means "commissioned officer"
