... the circumstance with cops is that they always have the gun, the badge, the baton, the authority, and the official stamp of approval. And when they kill you, they have qualified immunity plus the unqualified support of the state and much of the white public, which just can't seem to understand that we are sick to our souls from the repeated cycle of death at the hands of cops.
-- Michael Eric Dyson, Long Time Coming, p. 182
