"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.

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
