“Only yesterday mankind lived in fear of the scourges of smallpox, cholera and plague that once swept nations before them. Now our major concern is no longer with the disease organisms that once were omnipresent; sanitation, better living conditions, and new drugs have given us a high degree of control over infectious disease. Today we are concerned with a different kind of hazard that lurks in our environment-a hazard we ourselves have introduced into our world as our modern way of life has evolved.” WorldWayKindDifferentTodayGivenNationsEnvironmentModernConditionsMankindDrugDiseaseDegreesMajorsConcernConcernedYesterdayOur WorldDifferent KindsOrganismsPlagueOur EnvironmentHazardsScourgeCholeraSanitationSmallpoxInfectious DiseasesLiving Conditions Book:Silent Spring Source: Silent Spring

“You're not going to have the police force representing the black and brown community, if they've spent the last 30 years busting every son and daughter and father and mother for every piddling drug offense that they've ever done, thus creating a mistrust in the community. But at the same time, you should be able to talk about abuses of power, and you should be able to talk about police brutality and what, in some cases, is as far as I'm concerned, outright murder and outright loss of justice without the police organization targeting you in the way that they have done me.” IfsWayShouldYearsDoneAbleLastsMotherFatherForceBlackCommunityJusticeLossCasesSonDrugCreatingDaughterConcernedOrganizationAbuseMurderPoliceBrownOffensePolice BrutalityBrutalityRepresentingMistrustAbuse Of PowerSon And DaughterPolice ForceBusting Author:Quentin Tarantino
