Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf should leave his job after his department deployed lawless mobs to contain protests in Portland, Ore., retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore said.
“Police don’t do this. Watch this, what kind of b----t is this?!” Honore told MSNBC on Tuesday. He was responding to footage of federal agents assailing a man in the street. He added that Wolf needs "to be run out of Washington. He has no business in charge of Homeland Security."
His comments came amid a vigorous debate surrounding how authorities should deal with protests in the wake of George Floyd's death. Critics have alleged that DHS abused its power by using agents who utilized unmarked vehicles and failed to identify themselves.
“They are acting like an uncontrolled mob on the street with uniforms and badges that they don’t show,” Honore claimed.

Generals like these are a dime a dozen and mean nothing except more paperwork...
He was loud and cursed a lot during Katrina and he pretty much is a huge democrat not surprised he supports rioting in cities I’m sure he probably thinks the gang violence in Chicago is just a bunch of kids with nothing to do in the summer
He’s “stuck on stupid.” His very words.
Retired Generals sure think highly of their opinions, these days. Just go fishing.
Yep. General Honore was our little Katrina Cuck for Ray Nagin and Blanco. As a former officer, I’m absolutely disgusted by most of today’s senior officer corps.
this random general knows nothing about law enforcement.
Maybe he was a general in the Salvation Army. If a wuss like this was in the US Army then we are screwed.
Somebody must have bought him a new box of cigars and a full bottle of whiskey.
Didnt he command active duty military troops seizing guns from civilians during Katrina?
Past prime time player, has no idea of Fed task force mission and capabilities
Maybe the General is the bitch.
“They pull a knife, you pull a gun.”
He should keep his mouth shut
If DHS were really out of control there wouldn’t be any protests. Since the “protests” (riots) are still occurring its safe to say that DHS is handling them with kid’s gloves.
Ill bet he didn’t have a problem with gunning down Lavoy Finicum for taking over that empty shack.
He had the military doing things in New Orleans during the Katrina aftermath he probably would not want to talk about. And he has the nerve to open his mouth now.
I don’t know all the details here. I heard that some DHS agents acted unprofessionally but again, not the details.
IMO they need to be 100% professional. They need to wear uniforms, insignia and badges, and read every suspect their Miranda rights.
I understand some people may resist arrest. LE needs to handle that proportionately. Rumors swirling about black SUVs nabbing people off the street - if true, it is not professional. Sure, LE can do surveillance but when it comes to making arrests, they need to be totally professional about it. Light up the blue and red lights, announce their presence as law enforcement and order compliance from the suspects.
I’ll celebrate the day a Democrat POTUS slashes the army’s budget. What a bunch of ungrateful swamp thugs the military brass has become.
Where in the everliving HELL did all these military mongrels come from??! Do NOT tell me I should thank them for their service, evidently we’re lucky to still BE here, if he and so many others think and speak as he does. Disgraceful
