Police Quotations | Page 5

We were cursed when we asked for help for our elderly. We had guns aimed at us by the police who were supposed to be there to protect and serve. They made everybody sit on the ground with their hands in the air, even babies.

What I can't figure out is why anyone would steal it. They can't sell it on eBay, it's not fit to eat, there was no ransom note and the police put its value at only $25 (14 pounds) on their report.

Privatizing our public schools makes as much sense as privatizing the fire department or or the police department

We won't have battery police. We're not going door to door to determine if Joe Smith is throwing away two batteries.

When they want to seek our vote, they know where to reach us. But I don't see most of them here with us. They know we exist when they need to be elected, but after the election they become blind and deaf when it comes to our problems. ... We demand the government to use its power, as one of the greatest nations in the world, to end police brutality, to end racial profiling.

I got nothing against the honest cop on the beat. You just have them transferred someplace where they can't do you any harm. But don't ever talk to me about the honor of police captains or judges. If they couldn't be bought they wouldn't have the job.

On television and in the movies, crimes are always solved. Nothing is left uncertain. By the end, the viewer knows whodunit. In real life, on the other hand, many murders remain unsolved, and even some that are 'solved' to the satisfaction of the police and prosecutors lack sufficient evidence to result in a conviction.

...the workers aren't going to stop struggling. They're going to struggle to have a union and they have the right to have it. The police repression and the grower indifference to the workers' demands for recognition cannot go unheard so we're going to keep on struggling until we get that recognition.

An act of violence against any innocent person eludes moral justification, disgraces the millions of Americans and people throughout the world who have united in peaceful protest against police brutality, and dishonors our proud inheritance of nonviolent resistance.

The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. Not for nothing was the revolver called an “equalizer.

Poor Dimitri Shostakovich: In the Soviet Union, he was condemned as being too radical; in the West, for being too conservative. He could please no one but the musical public. He revenged himself on both by writing a short piece called 'March of the Soviet Police.'

I hate to brag about my dog, but he was an exceptionally good police dog. When he was working, he was so intense. When it was all over with, he was as friendly as your normal house pet.

I have long known throughout my days in policing about the progressive, international reputation of the Edmonton Police Service. For me, this is where it is likely to happen, where a progressive police culture is part of the culture.

Kevin is supported by his family and many, many friends who stand in complete support of him. Since the beginning of the police investigation, Kevin has cooperated fully with law enforcement officers. He has a strong desire to be cleared of all allegations against him and understands that the only way to fight this charge is through the justice system.

I was also interested in the racial side of it. Even today, the Chief of the London Metropolitan Police is trying to make the force more representative of London and there's a lot of resistance from the predominantly white force.

I was in the police for 36 years. I always believed fingerprints didn't lie. Now ... I know different.

I was just at a conference of police chiefs. It was all everybody was talking about.

I would urged Nico Hinds to hand himself in to the police.

I wouldn't say everybody gambles. Probably a large number of the population does. When you are talking about millions of dollars, that's when it becomes a big deal. Fifty bucks here and there is not that bad, but when you have big money and when police get involved, it's serious. The police just don't get involved for nothing, for no reason.

Kids have access to computers in so many places. You can't police it anymore. You have to communicate with children and children have to be able to communicate with their parents.

Kids are going to be kids, and if there is a backlash against either rave promoters or venues, we're going to be much less safer for it. These promoters know the limitations with which they can put on events in town. Kids are going to do this, either in an abandoned factory or in a venue where you have access to paramedics and police officers and security.

I would say there is a great risk as we go into the next two weeks of a very brief campaign period but certainly the U.N. and the international peacekeepers and police force here are very much on alert and will be quite quick frankly to put down any attempts to disrupt the election. I think it is everybody's concern now that there are only two candidates that some aspects of the voters in Liberia will become more polarized and thus, in some ways, the danger of some sort of election related violence or disruption is much greater now than it was prior to the 11th of October.

I would say morale is already crippled, ... And that means you will have less proactive police work. You'll have cops out there who'll say, 'just keep your eyes down, answer your calls, get your pension and retire,' and that's the worst thing that could happen.

He is very upset and very hurt that this is going on, and on, and on. Ohio State Police have had this case and all these items back for many, many, many months.

He left behind his cowboy boots and luggage but he came back and the police were there.

He is persisting in his fears. He was afraid of the police.

He is so grateful for the work that most of the police officers did. There's always a few bad apples in every basket.

He literally waved a white flag, or a T-shirt, and came out and surrendered to our folks, ... He saw the police presence and thought it was obviously in his best interest.

I come from a law enforcement family. My grandfather, William J. Comey, was a police officer. Pop Comey is one of my heroes. I have a picture of him on my wall in my office at the FBI, reminding me of the legacy I've inherited and that I must honor.

great step forward in the direction of police professionalism and protecting individual rights.

If I was not behind this pulpit, if I'd ever seen any police I'd probably have a heart attack,

I am sure the U.N. police will conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action.

I am sure we're not that different from any other major police department in the country. This is an incredibly fast-rising crime.

I did children's theatre for three years, 1977-1979. We played at a school where three kids were killed in race riots that week. We entered the school under police escort. People threw bottles and debris at us on stage, but we continued our show about racism.

I did not bother the police with the matter because after a process of elimination, I believe it is a fellow faculty member.

I feel like I've gotten away from God-knows-what, ... but I feel safe now. I like the treatment I'm getting here. The treatment I'm getting here is much better than I was getting when I was there from the police officers and stuff.

I can't have an unidentified car disappearing up the road any more, because it'll be captured on CCTV. After all, it was CCTV that helped police capture the London bombers.

I can totally understand why people who aren't reporters would make that point. It didn't work for me. I could never, as a reporter, see going to the police first rather than asking the subject about it.

I can't say they won't be arrested. It's up to the police agency whether they arrest them on a warrant. We're just the keepers of record. We compile them and make sure to the best of our ability that they're updated.

Four police officers suspected of taking part in the incidents were interrogated, but all cases were closed due to lack of evidence,

fundamental military and social and police structure intact.

Fuel is kicking us probably worse than any other department, with the exception of the Police Department. It's simply something we've got to have to keep moving.

From what I know, the police department did all the things it was supposed to do.

From what I've been told, Mark had been driving and they just changed drivers. I don't know if Young dozed off for a second or if it was the monotony of driving on the turnpike. Police said she lost control of the car.

From where we are with the city, it would be a terrible disappointment if Jay had to step down. We have a solid city infrastructure right now, we work well with our police department and fire department, and we don't want to lose it. Bringing someone new in would reverse a lot of what we've done.

Formerly, police would stay outside the school and wait for other officers to arrive. Now, the first police officer who arrives goes in and looks for the gunman.

Getting on the bus, police officers know everybody. People walking down the street know all the players' names. It is fun, but it is a challenge.

Giuliani has certainly set a climate for permissiveness of violence and mean police behavior.

From Arizona to Pennsylvania, they're literally running scared, ... FBI, Saline County sheriff's office, Benton police and all agencies for bringing these men to justice.

I feel so safe tonight with all of this police protection courtesy of G-Unit,

I am aware that he has a number of creditors and he was under a lot of stress on Aug. 4 when the police came to his premises. We are investigating those aspects that we hope will show valid defenses.

I am aware that police attempted to enter those rooms and I am now about to leave this news conference to learn the whole story.

I am concerned about what I see happening to our police department and other services that are being cut. This shouldn't be happening to our employees. We should show some concern for these people.

I got a message from (Police Chief Robert Smythe) saying a guy died in custody after struggling with officers,

I don't think it's part of a larger rift. The city and Yale have worked together, greatly reducing crime in the past decade. The mayor has full confidence in the police department to be able to look at it and process it and find out what exactly happened.

I don't think it's a deal where people are doing highway robbery to make overtime, ... It's a situation where we have a need for police services.

Go back in any news archive and look at the men who have been freed from prison, look at the men that have been taken off death row. Mistakes happen. Bad directions are taken by district attorneys; police make mistakes. It happens all the time: False accusation is commonplace.

For months we have seen the government trying to cling to a pathetic pretense of a cease-fire. Surely Peter Hain can recognize that when live bullets are fired at the police and army, that constitutes a breach of even his definition of a cease-fire.

If a police agency makes a request, trying to clear a homicide that's on their book, we will provide them with whatever information that we can and let that agency make the determination if there's a connectivity, not us, they will do that.

If a police services agreement is going to be successful, it will need to be a win-win situation for both communities.

If a student or anyone ever came into a classroom and it was disruptive, it's always the faculty person's right to ask that person to leave and if they wouldn't leave to call the police and ask the police to remove the person.

If anyone knows anything about it, I wish they'd come forward and let the police know so we can put this behind us and get on with our lives.

If any police force fails to act to protect the public safety, the state police is ready to act under my direction to proceed to remove any obstacle. We have a responsibility to provide for the public safety, and I take the responsibly very seriously,

From the time she went through the first manned checkpoint, she was followed by airport operations officers and security guards and was brought to a stop quickly. Police arrived immediately and she was placed under arrest.

I don't think our school police officers should be delivering mail when it's something that we can receive via the Internet. They have more important things to do.

For this incident, I don't want to be credited as an individual who does police work. I want to be credited as a Miami Beach police officer.

For those of us who support the Kittery Police, an investigation is even more important,

I don't want to become part of the city. The reason they offered was fire protection and police protection. I don't need either. I told them if you look where the crime problems are, it's up by the police station.

I don't think you deserve life, because you didn't set out to do what was done, ... But you made a series of bad of choices starting out with posing as a police officer.

I don't want the Federal Trade Commission to be the thought police, ... I don't want a bureaucrat like me influencing the content of these materials. But, rather, we need to influence the way these materials are marketed.

I fail to understand why this officer (Surendra Sharma) is making such allegations against me. No police officer or superior officer had expressed their displeasure against me during the 40 years of my service.

If a crime was committed, and the police are trying to trace the crime gun, they will get all the information they need.

If it keeps up like this, I'm probably going to have to hire off-duty police officers to control it.

If it's during the day and you feel safe, stay with the animal so the police officer can find you easily. Maybe put your car flashers on.

I had police officers, fireman and building inspectors come to my booth at the National Hurricane Conference and they thought it was phenomenal.

I had promised on taking office that I would see my members - the rank and file mostly. I make sure that I am here (in his office at police headquarters), sometimes as early as 6:30 am. It's a free period, free in the sense that you can walk in; and I see people coming from as far as Westmoreland.

I believe that if we are asking the citizens of Garland to pay more in taxes for additional police officers ... we must utilize the resources that we currently have to the maximum extent possible,

I believe that it is entirely proper for the police service to make the case for any new powers they feel are necessary to protect the nation.

I believe that most police are conscientious and want only to provide safety for us.

I believe the State Police did an admirable job making contact with judicial officials, with my office and the people on the front lines being exposed. I think they also did a great job investigating immediately. Every time you have an incident you can learn from it, but I'd leave it to them.

I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!

Certainly it was a tough day for them. We have learned from Col. Ian Hope that the Afghan police force lost at least two of its leaders and high-ranking officials.

But they would be unwise just to shoo the coalition out, because they cannot handle the army and the police areas on their own it would give too much advantage to the people perpetrating violence.

But we are, too. We're putting 50 more police officers on the streets.

But generally we had very good police protection, and when I found that the police protection wasn't swift enough or adequate, I organized my own.

I do not think the media was irresponsible, because they had sources as high as the New Orleans police chief and the mayor. In fact, it would have been irresponsible not to report it.

I do not think this will affect the outlook of foreign investors in the Philippines, because the Supreme Court has also ruled on the same issue already. But police authorities have to move fast and solve this case.

I don't know what more the police can do. I pray the person will come forward or someone who knows something will be able to pass information along to the authorities.

I don't know what my dad went through. My parents never talked to us about his time on the police department, so I'm not sure what he went through.

Bush can talk about 100,000 people wanting to go work in the police or in the army. It's because there's nothing else for them to do. They're willing to stand in line to get bombed because they want to take care of their family.

Because of the good faith of the police department and the city of San Jose, they've been allowed to operate.

Basically, it's a play being written right before your eyes -- sort of. The premise is that a retiring police officer has decided he's going to go off into a life of ease, and how he's going to do that is by writing a murder mystery like Agatha Christie.

Basically what we found was that for instance with murderers only 14-percent of the people arrested by the police department for homicide were ever convicted of homicide.

I have been in police work for 35 years and it's went by really quick. I'm a good guy, an honest man.

I have asked again and again for more police, we have asked for an extra 3,000 which we have had to substitute for them, ... We don't have the money flowing the way it has been predicted.
