"“‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo.
‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.’”" — Aug 01, 2024 03:32PM

"“Everyone likes the idea of a neighborhood police officer who knows and respects the community. Unfortunately, this is a mythic understanding of…policing. What distinguishes the police from other city agencies is that they can legally use force. As sociologist Micol Seigel points out, police are ‘violence workers’ whose authority is rooted in the authorization and capacity to use violence.”" — Feb 28, 2023 07:27AM
