“Police thrillers are so widely read and police dramas so commonplace on television that many people think they have a good understanding of what a cop's world is like. But in truth that world is seldom revealed with anything approaching verisimilitude.

“We need to hear everyone. We need dialogue between police and the community. They're angry. They're hurt.

“You build the bonds through the community and police force, build bonds of understanding, and then when people feel comfortable in their communities, that gap between the police and the communities they serve narrows.

“I had this radical idea that the police should obey the law. My view was that any human system without adequate checks and balances will tend towards corruption and abuse.

“I believe that if we could see the chapters that are missing from the book [The Autobiography of Malcolm X], we would gain an understanding as to why perhaps - perhaps - the F.B.I., the C.I.A., the New York Police Department and others in law enforcement greatly feared what Malcolm X was about, because he was trying to build a broad - an unprecedented black coalition across the lines of black nationalism and integration.

“We are in an extremely dangerous situation. It was ignorant and ahistorical for Donald Trump to say that the EU will dissolve. He is a man of very little historical understanding. For example, when he accused his own intelligence community of using Nazi tactics against him, he was actually confusing the Nazis with East Germany's secret police, the Stasi. Trump also has no idea that for 70 years, it has been U.S. policy to support those who want to unite Europe. It is very dangerous that he is turning his back on Europe now.” MenUnderstandingCommunitySecretSituationSupportDangerousPolicyPoliceHistoricalIgnorantNaziConfusingAccused Author:Anthony Glees
“Here's what I learned as a mayor and a governor. The way you make communities safer and the way you make police safer is through community policing.

And when that gap narrows, it's safer for the communities and it's safer for the police.” PeopleUnderstandingCommunityPolice Author:Tim Kaine

“The trouble is that nonviolence is so often defined as refusal to fight, and that is the American definition of cowardice. In fact, marching unarmed against the guns and dogs of the police requires more courage than does aggression. The perverted idea of manhood coming from the barrel of a gun is what keeps people from understanding nonviolence.” PeopleDoeIdeasFactsFightingUnderstandingTroubleDogGunPoliceDefinitionsDefinedCowardiceNonviolenceAggressionManhoodRefusalBarrelsUnarmed Author:Jesse Jackson
