A Quote by Jacob Weisberg

What ultimately makes 'The Wire' uplifting amid the heartbreak it conveys is its embodiment of a spirit that Barack Obama calls 'the audacity of hope.' It is filled with characters who should quit but don't, not only the boys themselves but teachers, cops, ex-cops, and ex-cons who lose their hearts to them.

There's a bigger percentage of good cops than bad cops. But the bad cops should be penalised like regular people.

Michael Pena

Everything in high school was reversed. If marijuana was supposed to make you mellow, I would be like, "The cops, the cops, the cops..." I was what you call the buzz kill.

Val Kilmer

Why aren't there enough black cops out there? We need black cops to come in and educate some of the white cops who have issues.

Michael Ealy

For the most part, cops are decent and honorable, but that's how I know that there are bad cops, cops that you think you know so well.

Nancy Grace

[Barack Obama] might say more about these rogue cops and their license to kill.

Julianne Malveaux

I have no hatred for cops. I have hatred for racists and brutal people, but not necessarily the cops. The cops are just doing what they're told to do.

Ice T

I know that all cops are not sterling characters. But you have to have someone to root for. I balance it with rotten cops who will take a bribe, who will beat somebody up.

Evan Hunter

While bad cops should face the full consequence of the law, the overwhelming majority of good cops have earned our support.

Lee Zeldin

Most cops are not looking for understanding. They work in a world filled with a sense - real or imagined - of danger lurking around each corner and every hallway. Most cops are merely looking for respect.

Mike Barnicle

It seemed to me... that the only valid people to deal with crime were cops, and I would like to make the lead character, rather than a single person, a squad of cops.

Evan Hunter

When we let cops talk about themselves as a separate community, then we are letting cops wall themselves off from the rest of us. We don't generally do that with any other jobs. We don't talk about the barista community or the Wal-Mart greeter community.

W. Kamau Bell

My nana was a detective; my nana was a great cop. You also have bad cops that were bullied in school or whatever and think that they have power, and that makes other cops look bad.

Kane Brown

There are some bad cops who are racist. There are cops that maybe don't have the right training.

Robert C. O'Brien

Nobody wants bad cops off the street more than good cops.

Darryl Glenn

The movement of the Spirit of God in the hearts of men and women often calls them to act against the spirit of their times or causes them to anticipate a spirit which is yet in the making. In a moment of dedication they are given wisdom and courage to dare a deed that challenges and to kindle a hope that inspires.

Howard Thurman

I'll be honest with you: I think that it's really difficult, this framing around 'good cops' and 'bad cops.' Policing, as a system, is incredibly corrupt, period.

Alicia Garza
