It's a jungle, and it's dog-eat-dog. When you see the police doing the same thing the looters are doing, it tells me you're going to have to fend for yourself.

It's repugnant to have police officers plea-bargaining the tickets they wrote. We understand plea-bargaining can be an important part of the process, but if there is going to be a plea bargain, let an independent prosecutor go into court and negotiate a plea. The police officer's job is to write the tickets.

It's repugnant to have police officers making plea bargains. We are going to put an end to a system that is unethical and inequitable to motorists.

The police are not going to run this court. The defendants are not going to run this court. The defense attorneys are not going to run this court. The district attorney is not going to run this court. I'm going to run this court.

Most police corruption is to look the other way, and to protect someone -- not to do jobs.

Every year you hear the stories of what would happen if the levees broke.
