General Feyad Rahal arrested

IRRK Freelance - Tensions rise even more between the rival law enforcement groups as one of Omni-Pol's generals was arrested in Omni-HQ.
I was first made aware that something was happening after a call for help reached Channel 42 from the Omni-Med offices in Omni-HQ. It seemed someone had stormed into the offices and started trashing the front desk, which led to the DoI responding to the call as the nearest Omni-Pol officer tuned in to the channel was apparently some distance away.
Sending a camera drone to investigate, a group of DoI investigators had arrived outside the Omni-Med building equipped with batons and riot shields. DCI Hunt was unarmed at this point, but asked one of the investigators, DC Winters, for his "warrant card". Unsurprisingly for them, the investigator opened the boot of a red Phasefront Charon a short distance away and handed Hunt his "warrant card" - a nine iron.
Entering the building with batons and a golf club in hand, it wasn't long before the culprit was dragged back outside in handcuffs. Much to the astonishment of the Omni-Pol officers that had recently arrived on the scene, the man that was trashing the offices was none other than General Feyad Rahal, an Omni-Pol officer and head of Field Ops. This disbelief quickly turned into anger, as amazingly one of the Omni-Pol officers raised an assault rifle to DCI Hunt, demanding to release his general. With protests to stand down from the General and Hunt's remark of "Shut up you noncey-arsed fairy boy", the officer lowered his rifle which allowed the detectives to take General Rahal off the scene.
So, what caused the General's temper to finally blow?
After further investigation talking to Omni-Med and statements from the Department of Investigations, it seemed a misunderstanding was the cause. When the DoI affiliated themselves with Omni-Pol, Omni-Med received new instructions on where to send evidence handed in. This read "All evidence by the Department of Investigations and Omni-Pol affiliates are to be sent to Warehouse 13." This should have read "All evidence by the Department of Investigations and it's Omni-Pol affiliates are to be sent to Warehouse 13."
This simple mistake had led to any evidence Omni-Pol had being sent to the Department of Investigations instead, which was the reason for the General losing his temper and storming into the Omni-Med offices. While the General's reasons are somewhat explained, the use of assault rifles being waved around by Omni-Pol officers is still unknown to me.
