Here are some statements by Americans since the 60's, Black and White, that show we should have acted long before now:

- 1963--Martin Luther King, Jr framed the issue then and now: "There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality."

- 1965--John Lewis: "I thought I saw death" (after being hit by police).

- 1965--Robert Kennedy "To many Negroes, the law is the enemy. In Harlem, in Bed-Stuy it has almost always been used against them."
