Our officers and men behaved like men who are determined to be free.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The majority of them give the impression of being men who have been drafted into the job during a period of martial law and are only waiting for the end of the emergency to get back to a really congenial occupation such as slum demolition or debt collecting.
Free men are the strongest men.
Nonviolent tactics can move into action on our behalf men not naturally inclined to act for us.
As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom.
Soldiers are not policemen, and it's very unfair, even for those soldiers who have some police training, to burden them with police duties. It's not what they're trained for, or equipped for.
We must try to understand the true weight of law enforcement officers' burdens.
The United States isn't a dictatorship ruling with a brutal army and an iron fist, so our police departments must understand that they are there to serve and protect us - all of us. And when they do commit crimes, they must be arrested and prosecuted like anyone else, bottom line.
Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was.
Cops can deprive people of their freedom. They are sworn to serve and protect. They work for us and they belong to, basically, a service industry, laboring in conditions that are sometimes threatening, often dangerous yet interesting.
I know what you're going to say! 'They are men, and men should be free.' A free man is dangerous to himself and everyone else. Freedom should be left to those who can put it to good use.
