The majority of my interactions with police were not good. There were a few good ones who were actually protecting the community. But then you have ones from the Valley. They never met me in their life, but since I’m a kid in basketball shorts and a white T-shirt, they wanna slam me on the hood of the car. Sixteen years old.

Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden.

In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

The IRS! They’re like the Mafia, they can take anything they want!

The man who could go to Africa and rob her of her children, and then sell them into interminable bondage, with no other motive than that which is furnished by dollars and cents, is so much worse than the most depraved murderer that he can never receive pardon at my hand.

Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.

Since the time of the witch burnings, the grandmothers and the healers and the midwives have been systematically targeted. And burned at the stake for hundreds of years, decimating whole communities.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Here’s what I believe, I think the FBI is the premier law enforcement agency in the history of the world but i think there was some bad apples over there.

How accurately can the law fix the crime? There has to be a mechanism for very fast action. The law is like this: catch them and punish them.

Over the course of my career in law enforcement, I have witnessed over and over again the selflessness and sacrifice of law enforcement who lay their lives on the line every day to protect people who they will never meet and people who will never know their names.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Algorithms diminish public safety in this country. They ask us to pretend that lengthy arrest records and violent crimes don’t matter. They ask police to scoop up the bad guys only for the courts to immediately release them. They turn us into a bad joke.

There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.

The U.S. immigration laws are bad – really, really bad. I’d say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government’s name.

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.

Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

There are thousands of Palestinians in prison virtually for no reason.

Justice is expensive in America. There are no Free Passes… You might want to remember this, the next time you get careless and blow off a few Parking Tickets. They will come back to haunt you the next time you see a Cop car in your rear-view mirror.

Slavery is a weed that grows on every soil.

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.

The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice.

I think that all people who feel that there is injustice in the world anywhere should learn as much of it as they can bear. That is our duty.

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

The crimes against Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and elsewhere, particularly Lebanon, are so shocking that the only emotionally valid reaction is rage and a call for extreme actions. But that does not help the victims. And, in fact, it’s likely to harm them.

I think one of the great things about the United States has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement.

Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.

I think the FBI is the premier law enforcement agency in all of human history.

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.

It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous.

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put – without delay, and with tenderness – back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

One way to make sure crime doesn’t pay would be to let the government run it.

The FBI should not be a political body.

Should there be cameras everywhere in outdoor streets? My personal view is having cameras in inner cities is a very good thing. In the case of London, petty crime has gone down. They catch terrorists because of it. And if something really bad happens, most of the time you can figure out who did it.

With the development of industrial capitalism, a new and unanticipated system of injustice, it is libertarian socialism that has preserved and extended the radical humanist message of the Enlightenment and the classical liberal ideals that were perverted into an ideology to sustain the emerging social order.

I think what’s going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn’t say it’s the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.

Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.

And so I would not enforce a law that would reject people and turn them away without giving them a fair and due process to determine if we should give them asylum and refuge.

All History is current; all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world.

There are certain age limits on police officers. They’d have retired me out at 65.

Even after Independence, we have had to face the poison of casteism and communalism. How long these evils will continue? Whom does it benefit?

The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.

States should have the right to enact laws… particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live.

If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

We need to recognize that the situation in Ferguson speaks to broader challenges that we still face as a nation. The fact is, in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. Some of this is the result of the legacy of racial discrimination in this country.

Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.

I’m a felon. I get pulled over all the time.

The highest reach of injustice is to be deemed just when you are not.

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts.

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.

Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he’s around.

So many killings of black men in my lifetime. The physical shock is astounding.

Justice is sweet and musical; but injustice is harsh and discordant.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.

I grew up with J. Edgar Hoover. He was the G-man, a hero to everybody, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation was the big, feared organization. He was ahead of his time as far as building up forensic evidence and fingerprinting. But he took down a lot of innocent people, too.

Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals; nay it is treachery to comrades.

To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.
