“The police do locally what the military does internationally.”  – Malcolm X

“The representatives of the authorities, cadres, policemen, etc., recruited from among the colonized, form a category of the colonized which attempts to escape from its political and social condition.  But in so doing, by choosing to place themselves in the colonizer’s service to protect his interests exclusively, they end up by adopting his ideology, even with regard to their on values and their own lives.”  – Albert Memmi
