“From that point on, the extraordinary system of spies and informers which has played an important part in the political work of the French state into our own time took shape. (Sartine, who became lieutenant general de police in 1759, is supposed to have said to Louis XV, "Sire, when three people are chatting in the street one of them is surely my man.") Eighteenth-century police manuals like those of Colquhoun in England or Lemaire in France are no less than general treatises on the government's full repertoire of domestic regulation, coercion, and surveillance.” PeopleMenSaidImportantStatesGovernmentPoliticalThreeStreetsCenturyShapesEnglandPoliceExtraordinaryFrancePrivacyRegulationSpyCoercionSurveillanceManualsLieutenantsChattingInformers Book:The Formation of national States in Western Europe Source: The Formation of national States in Western Europe

“When you look at police violence, over the last three or four years, whether you call it a social, economic or racial thing, these are the guys that we're supposed to trust. These are the guys who are given these guns and weapons to protect us. Not to use them upon us, but to protect us, and they can't even get it right. So, if they can't get it right, how can you fault a society for fearing them, and fearing them in a way that makes them want to take up arms and fight back.” IfsWayWantYearsLooksUseLastsGuyFightingThreeGivenSocialFourViolenceEconomicArmsProtectWeaponsGunPoliceFaultsFour YearsPolice Violence Author:Edwin Hodge

“Given my experience, I believe there are three compelling reasons why the death penalty should be replaced. (1) The criminal justice system makes mistakes and the possibility of executing innocent people is both inherently wrong and morally reprehensible; (2) My personal experience and crime data show the death penalty does not reduce crime; and (3) The death penalty wastes precious resources that could be best used to fight crime and solve thousands of unsolved homicides languishing in filing cabinets in understaffed police departments across the state.” PeopleShouldBelieveDoeStatesReasonShowsUsedFightingThreeGivenI BelieveJusticeMistakeCrimePossibilityWasteResourcesPoliceSolveCriminalsInnocentDataReason WhyDepartmentMaking MistakesCompellingReplacedPenaltiesDeath PenaltyCabinetsPersonal ExperiencesJustice SystemCriminal JusticeHomicideCriminal Justice SystemFilingExecutingPolice DepartmentCompelling ReasonFiling Cabinet Author:George Gascon

“Over the years I have come to understand three things about the police: 1) They cover up virtually everything involving a police officer. 2) They will not enforce the laws for people that they do not like. 3) They will target people that they do not like for prosecution using various techniques that include unwarranted stops, drug testing, faked police reports, tickets, fines, blatantly mislead the judge at court, and removal of USA federal rights.” PeopleYearsThreeRightsDrugPoliceCourtVariousUsaReportsTargetTicketsTestingUnderstandMisleadInvolvingEverythingLikeThingsJudgeLawsRemovalUpProsecutionAboutOfficerCoverBlatantlyTechniquesFederalEnforceIncludeStopsVirtuallyFakedFinesUnwarranted Author:Steven Magee
