"We often give caveats to our criticisms of police in order to shield ourselves from counter-critique. We often wrap our condemnation of rogue cops by saying, 'No. Not all cops are bad.' These obligatory disclaimers are, in their own way, part of the problem. We are afraid of saying what we know to be true for fear of being seen as too radical or harboring hatred of the police.

| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
