What everyone should agree on, though, is that we need a better way to hold police officers accountable when they use excessive force, such as putting their knees on the necks of civilians who are not resisting arrest. We also need to hold police officers accountable when they attack civilians who are simply exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protest.
Police officers like Chauvin should not only be fired, they should be prosecuted and held responsible for their actions. If any one of us were to attack another person without provocation, we would be arrested and charged. If any one of us were to kill another person without justification, we would be arrested and charged. |

| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
