QUOTE: Melissa Harris-Perry: Curtailing The Rights Of Ferguson Citizens

“So Governor Nixon says it is hard to tell among the protestors, at night, who is there to help and who is there to hurt. Given that an unarmed teen was killed by a police officer during the day, and given that the response of the governor was to suspend the First Amendment rights of protestors in the nighttime hours because of the difficulty of telling which ones of them were there to help and which ones to hurt, has there been any discussion about suspending the rights of police officers to carry weapons during the day, because it is difficult to tell which of them are there to help and which of them are there to hurt?” – Melissa Harris-Perry (MHP on MSNBC – 08/17/2014)

Quote: Edward Snowden: You Simply Have To Eventually Fall Under Suspicion

“You simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody even by a wrong call. And then they can use this system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you’ve ever made, every friend you’ve ever discussed something with. And attack you on that basis to sort to derive suspicion from an innocent life and paint anyone in the context of a wrongdoer.” – (NSA leaker) Edward Snowden
