Now, can some cops be overbearing, rude? Yeah. But we have a process for that. Do what the officer tells you to do, and file a complaint. That's the process. You don't attack a police officer on the street or resist arrest because you think you're being hassled.

The wild open-market theory that died in 1929 had a run of just over thirty years.

Obedience simulates subordination as fear of the police simulates honesty.

When I had the job of police commissioner, 20 years ago, I was more sensitive, more cognizant of complaints and concerned about public opinion. I've learned to do what I think is the right thing.

Sometimes things need to get really bad before they can ever get better. Really bad can become untenable if enough people get sick of it.

Quentin Tarantino

Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to prosecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.
Vaclav Havel

John Lennon The Beatles
-
