N JUSTICE IN THIS SYSTEM
“In a free and democratic society such as ours, justice should not eternally abrogate one’s rights to freedom and liberty, except in the most extreme cases.”
Bernard B. Kerik “From Jailer to Jailed”

“We are told that the police are the bringers of justice. They are here to help maintain social order so that no one should be subjected to abuse. The neutral enforcement of the law sets us all free. This understanding of policing, however, is largely mythical. American police function, despite whatever good intentions they have, entrenched inequalities in a way that systematically produces injustices for the poor, socially marginal, and nonwhite.”
Alex S. Vitale “The End of Policing”
“Justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other — that my liberty depends on you being free too.”
Barack Obama
