“Crime in the city streets is more than a political issue. It's a too rampant fact.... In Indianapolis they have come up with a most sensible, affordable approach to the problem. Policemen are assigned their police patrol cars for personal use after hours. They are encouraged to use the police car while taking the family shopping, to the movies, and everywhere one takes one's family. As a result, says the Police Chief's assistant, we may have as many as 400 cars on the street instead of 100 or so per shift. [And] the presence of the police car obviously indicates the proximity of policemen.” MayFactsUseProblemPoliticalEvilHoursResultsCitiesIssuesStreetsCarCrimeApproachPoliceCome UpChiefsShoppingSensiblePolicemenAffordableAssistantsProximityPolitical IssuesCity StreetsAfter HoursIndianapolisPolice Cars Author:Malcolm Forbes
“Look, words are like the air: they belong to everybody. Words are not the problem; it's the tone, the context, where those words are aimed, and in whose company they are uttered. Of course murderers and victims use the same words, but I never read the words utopia, or beauty, or tenderness in police descriptions. Do you know that the Argentinean dictatorship burnt The Little Prince ? And I think they were right to do so, not because I do not love The Little Prince , but because the book is so full of tenderness that it would harm any dictatorship.” ThinkingKnowsLooksLittlesBookUseProblemCoursesCompanyAirPoliceVictimHarmToneDescriptionDo You KnowTendernessDictatorshipMurdererUtopia Author:Juan Gelman
“Secure web servers are the equivalent of heavy armoured cars. The problem is, they are being used to transfer rolls of coins and cheques written in crayon by people on park benches to merchants doing business in cardboard boxes from beneath highway bridges. Further, the roads are subject to random detours, anyone with a screwdriver can control the traffic lights, and there are no police.” PeopleProblemLightUsedWrittenSubjectsCarPoliceBoxesHeavySecureBridgesParksTrafficCoinsHighwaysTransfersBenchesMerchantsDetoursServerCrayonChequesTraffic LightCardboard BoxesPark BenchesScrewdrivers Book:Web Security & Commerce Source: Web Security & Commerce

“We have 11 horses up at our country home, six of which are rescue animals ... Two of them are 'cop horses' from the mounted police, ages 4 and 5, who turned out to have physical problems that weren't suitable for the kind of work they have to do. Now, with us, they are just out to pasture and have nothing but a good time, eating their heads off, romping and frolicking, and just doing all good horsey things.” KindTwoCountryProblemHomeAgeAnimalSixEatingHorsePoliceOur CountryPetGood TimesCopRescueSuitablePasturesIce AgeAnimal RescueGood Horse Author:Mary Tyler Moore
“When you couple this militarization of law enforcement with an erosion of civil liberties and due process that allows the police to become judge and jury - national security letters, no-knock searches, broad general warrants, pre-conviction forfeiture - we begin to have a very serious problem on our hands.” ProblemHandsLawProcessLibertySecuritySeriousJudgingCoupleLettersPoliceConvictionDuesBroadsNational SecurityLaw EnforcementEnforcementJuryCivil LibertiesWarrantsErosionDue ProcessJudge And Jury Author:Rand Paul
