- Statistically, empirically, the moment you called the police you put your life and that officer's life in increased danger.
- I thought the goal of policing was to reduce crime. I really thought it was to make everybody safer.
- The simple truth that crime stats are a measure of police action, not citizen action, was mind-blowing, yet obvious.
- We must be critical thinkers, fools can be skeptical, that's easy you just don't believe anything.
- We are largely taught what to think, not how to think.
- Even in academia, criminal justice is embarrassingly led by ideology and not facts or reproducible science.
- How can we teach police not to be violent, if we can't teach ourselves?
- Nazi's followed their orders. They all didn't make the laws, they just enforced them.
- In order for leadership to grow, we must look in the mirror and face our failures.
- As a leader, I am there to make the best decisions possible with the evidence at hand and to be able to justify that decision. If it goes wrong, we add to the evidence for making the next decision, but there is no reason for regretting failure, as failure is just the production of evidence.
- Just like how the laws of theft don't apply to the elites on Wall Street. The common laws don't apply to the police officer either.
- Because I was not a racist and we have codified a system that made my output a racist output. We can just as easily have a racist person within and have systems and institutions codified which produce a non-racist output.
- Rank is a paycheck. Respect is earned. If you find yourself reminding people of your rank, then you are just a paycheck.
- I don't think many individuals are consciously aware of how they are mainly carrying out what they have been taught.
- Always resist power that's the only resistance I care about or believe in.
- There should be no "enemies" just people that haven't heard the better ideas in sufficient detail.
- It is a movement about strengthening the fabric of our society. It is about making less poor people, fewer problems. It is becoming one and using empathy and science to make changes which will improve the safety of everyone in America.
- I am not about equality. I'm about equitable, which means you must intentionally make efforts to make things a level playing field. Because all things need checks and balances even in our own ideas of what hierarchy is or what opportunity is, all those things need to be constantly challenged.
- Humans are more comfortable in familiar oppression than in unfamiliar freedom.
- We should be saying, what would you have to do to rob a bank? What would it take for you to become a crackhead overdosing in West Baltimore? What would it take for you to rape a child? Those are the questions that we should be asking not what kind of punishment will solve our false sense of justice.
- I was being sent for this mission that human beings were bad and that we had to punish them. And the only way we could find justice was through equal revenge.
- We do not mind that our condition is bad, as long as it is familiar.
- Leadership is the influence of a person(s) on another person(s) which guides their efforts in a specific direction, with more purpose, clarity, and unity than they would have held on their own.
- The future of educators lies in using the influence of technology to guide learner advancement in specific directions, with more purpose, clarity, and unity than would be possible without it.
