“I hope we have not sunk so low in American society that plain, simple, justice according to the Constitution must be regarded as a perk. Police”
Naomi Zack, White Privilege and Black Rights: The Injustice of U.S. Police Racial Profiling and Homicide

“These ruptures between police and communities undermine trust in government, as well as the constitutional legitimacy of government as represented by such police action and its prosecutorial and juridical blessings. Distrust of government is an unfortunate trend now shared by both extremes of the political spectrum. Tea”
Naomi Zack, White Privilege and Black Rights: The Injustice of U.S. Police Racial Profiling and Homicide

“Disaster-preparation planning is more like training for a marathon than training for a high-jump competition or sprinting event. Marathon runners do not practice by running the full course of twenty-sex miles; rather, they get into shape by running shorter distances and building up their endurance with cross-training. If they have prepared successfully, then they are in optimal condition to run the marathon over its predetermined course and length, assuming a range of weather conditions, predicted or not. This is normal marathon preparation. But imagine preparing for a mystery marathon on undisclosed terrain, of an unspecified length, which could begin at any time.”
