... "While Officer Terrance Howell claimed in his affidavit that he was the one who took the suspect down, Lozito says he’d already pinned the man to the floor by the time Howell tapped him on the shoulder and said he’d take over from there."
"Where was Howell during the fray?"
"'... Howell admitted on the stand that he hid during the attack because he thought [the attacker] had a gun,' the Post reported."
"Which doesn’t matter, because the NYPD, like police everywhere, has no duty to protect individuals. Everybody knew that, right?"
"'Under well-established law, the police are not liable for such incidents,' city lawyer David Santoro claimed, and he's right. No less than the Supreme Court of the United States agrees." ... |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
