Civil Disobedience
- I have a few concerns/edits: Instead of ‘U.S. government’s illegal spying operations,’ I’d propose ‘U.S. government’s controversial intelligence gathering’… I would replace ‘misuse of power’ with ‘actions.’
- I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department, or the F.B.I. — not just in this case, but in any case. Full stop. Period.
- Can you hear me now?
- Albums – like books and black lives - they still matter.
- We are dealing in lethal firearms. I’m not going to let a Nazi shoot in here, or a Klu Klux Klan member in here, either.
- Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
- Oprah marched on Selma this weekend. She has a dream that Selma shall overcome The Wedding Ringer at the box office.
- [We remember] Martin Luther King as an idea, Selma as an idea…what can happen with strategy, with discipline, and with love.
- The movie Selma is a story about the American Civil Rights movement that totally worked and now everything is fine.
- If we’re going to have arguments, let’s have arguments -- but let’s make them debates worthy of this body and worthy of this country.
- Anyone who's standing with us, we want you to not use Eric Garner's name for violence, because we are not about that. I'm standing here in sorrow about losing those two police officers.
- Let`s face it, the city is really in a panic at this point in anticipation of this [grand jury] decision…On behalf of [Michael Brown’s] family, I reiterate for the umpteenth time - and they wanted me to make it crystal clear - they do not advocate any violence, any looting, any rioting. They are totally against that.
