I can fully appreciate the fury and anger that a person can feel when put through a humiliating experience by a cop, but I would recommend strongly that a person maintain his cool, and in no circumstances lose his temper. If you lose your temper, you are playing right into the cop's hands.

In the middle of the night, when you're ambiguously ethnic, like me, when you're brown, beige, mauve, siena, one of those lighter browns in the Crayola box. You have to be careful of the cops and robbers, because nobody's quite sure what you are, but everybody has assumptions.
Sherman Alexie

Cops must be unleashed, and allowed to administer instant punishment, subject of course to liability when they are in error.
Murray Rothbard
20.
Killing a cop just because he's a cop, that'll happen. And that should happen. And there's nothing inhuman about it at all. It's survival. It's the most human thing in the world.

Most investigators don't even know what the word means. You stop the cops from using informants and the only crimes they'd ever solve would be those by deranged postal workers who come to work once too often.
Andrew Vachss

God damn, it's a brand new payback
From the straight gangsta mack in straight gangsta black
How many motherfuckers gotta pay
Went to the shelf and dusted off the AK
Caps gotta get peeled
Cause "The Nigga Ya Love to hate" still can "Kill at Will"
Ice Cube

All the cops are just workers for the one percent, and they don't even realize they're being exploited.
Ray Lewis

I like to stay within the context of the character's background. If he's a cop, I have to make sure the audience is convinced that this person, a cop, can do only so much without a gun.
Donnie Yen

We get picked up in these Rolls Royces and get three miles down the highway and five cop cars pull us over.
Johnny Thunders

Arnold Schwarzenegger blew away dozens of cops as the Terminator. But I don't hear anybody complaining about that.
Ice T
32.
Though a good cop, Luc Claudel has the patience of a firecracker, the sensitivity of Vlad the Impaler, and a persistent skepticism as to the value of forensic anthropology. Snappy dresser, though.
Kathy Reichs
33.
Murder is such a charged word. You know how some people fixate and won't let things go? They're called cops.
Tim Dorsey
34.
It really bothers me when some people say that all cops are racist. Of course that's not true. Most of you are just [expletive] to everybody.

George Carlin
40.
You can't always be 100-percent positive that a joke will work, so you've just got to try it. Fortunately, if one new joke doesn't work, I've got lots of old ones that do. Just like cops, it's important to have backup.

Bill Plympton
42.
I'm not excusing the illegal act. I am here illegally. I'm here illegally, without authorization. That's a fact. That's nothing you can call the Orwellian cops about. But I am a human being, so therefore I am not illegal. That's also a fact.
Jose Antonio Vargas

Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.
John Steinbeck

I'd defend myself. But I don't go around shoving people around; that's not me at all - that's for a cop. I'm not into that type of behavior at all.
Henry Rollins

I've never been a cop nor hope to be a cop, thanks.
