While I may not agree entirely with what HotWings said here, I was part of this argument. And I agree with the part where Ed was being very stubborn and abused his power trying to force changes on APD Staff when a lot of staff members spoke out against it. I personally asked what the other captains thought about this, questioning if Ed had been making these changes with the approval of the other captains (since they weren't partaking in the VERY heated debate). And I was personally called out and told "@Psycosis HOW DARE YOU" And then shortly there after told to get into voice comm's on discord to chat with Ed. I somehow managed to maintain my position and rank in the APD, but I was allowed to voice my opinions without being removed. I also have some very fond memories of Ed, like shooting a drone out of the sky. Or saving video footage of a certain gang VDM'ing his ocra in pygros HQ. But power corrupts.
In closing here is a quote that I think fits this situation perfectly.
“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.” Lord Acton
