Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of situations do these police-related quotes describe?
The sample quotes here touch on several different sides of "police" as a topic: funding and minimum service standards, a lighthearted childhood memory, a firsthand account of a chaotic public confrontation, and a policy opinion about addiction and health.
Is there a quote about police funding?
Yes - one quote calls for determining "what the minimum standards are for police, fire and emergency services in all of America's major cities" before deciding on funding, framed as the speaker's own view on public-service policy, not as a settled fact.
Does any quote describe a personal childhood run-in with the police?
Yes, in a lighter vein: one speaker recalls running away from school at age 13, noting "No one could find me, and the police were called," while they were simply "hiding in a little thicket of grass" at school before falling asleep.
Is there a quote describing a serious confrontation involving police?
Yes. One quote is a firsthand account of a chaotic, one-sided clash between police and a crowd: "I never saw anything more like real warfare in my life - only the attack was all on one side. The police, in spite of their numbers, apparently thought they could not cope with the crowd." This is presented strictly as that speaker's own personal recollection, not a documented historical account of any specific named event, and no side is endorsed or condemned here.
Does any quote take a position on addiction and policing?
Yes - one quote argues that addiction "has to be treated as a health problem and not as a police problem," presented as the speaker's stated opinion on how addiction should be addressed. For related takes on rules and justice, see our Law quotes page.
