Abhijit Naskar
“Despite the fact that there are many honest and capable police officers in our States, with the persistent events of brutality and incompetence in mind I am compelled to say that the US police department is one of the most unfit, brainless, gutless and backboneless police forces in the world. Defunding such police force won't do any good, we must legislate compulsory regular clinical counseling for each and every officer of the law.”
Abhijit Naskar, Bulldozer on Duty

“My greatest trouble is getting the curtain up and down.”
T.S. Eliot

Alfred W. McCoy
“Testing has found that professional interrogators perform within the 45 to 60 percent range in sorting truth from lies, little better than flipping a coin.”
Alfred W. McCoy, Torture and Impunity: The U.S. Doctrine of Coercive Interrogation

“A world without police is therefor a world in which the police are obsolete, useless—a world where they serve literally no purpose. Seen from this angle, we're already halfway there: the police are useless. They don't do what they claim, they don't protect and serve, much less prevent, care, or support. At the same time, the police do play an essential, indeed indispensable role in fabricating and upholding the world we inhabit today, premised as it is on the domination and exploitation of the vast majority.”
Geo Maher, A World Without Police: How Strong Communities Make Cops Obsolete

Jason A. Merchey
“A “life of value,” as I see it, has two parts: The first is about one fulfilling oneself and finding meaning by prioritizing, or living the values that they authentically possess. When one’s life is consistent with what they truly value, then life just “feels right.” But beyond a more self-oriented approach to finding happiness and fulfillment, a good life is making positive differences to those in the family, the community, the country, and the world.”
Jason A. Merchey, Wisdom: A Very Valuable Virtue That Cannot Be Bought
