I've never seen this city as divided as it is now. The racial politics are being played. This is serious business. There are people who feel that these people are being put through a lot and they haven't been charged with anything.

I'm not saying they're innocent or guilty, because I don't know. But many of us have formed an opinion of guilt. That's not in our best interest because it's them today and you tomorrow.

Mayor Miller, you have a history of attacking appointed African-American representatives on boards and commissions.

It's them today. It's you tomorrow.

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.

Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul / politics does the same thing for the body.
