"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The Police in This City Haven’t Killed Anyone in Five Years
"What we as average citizens should take from this, is that most police involved shootings are completely unnecessary. Despite the cries of 'officer safety' we hear so often from the media, the cops aren’t in as much danger as they’d like us to think. The ball is entirely in their court when it comes to the number of people they 'have' to kill to protect themselves. When the cops are better trained, face tougher scrutiny, and stop being so damn paranoid about the people they’re supposed to protect, nobody has to die."
