My parents were in law enforcement, and I didn't really have any movie influences until I got out of Florida and went to college in Boston. Then I was suddenly exposed to Hitchcock and noir, and I took a Fassbender class at art school - by accident - and one in Indian cinema - which completely overwhelmed me. It was this whole new world to me.Kelly Reichardt

Racial profiling punishes innocent individuals for the past actions of those who look and sound like them. It misdirects crucial resources and undercuts the trust needed between law enforcement and the communities they serve. It has no place in our national discourse, and no place in our nation's police departments.Benjamin Todd Jealous

The Trade Center itself held - and holds - a special place, I think, in the hearts and minds of people in law enforcement - the fact that it did not fall in 1993. Ramzi Yousef's goal was to topple the Twin Towers into each other so that more people died than had died at Hiroshima.Mary Jo White

In detective land, you have to deal with a lot of intense emotions, so you yourself have to remain mostly unemotional and detached.

We want our government to protect us, to make sure something like 9/11 never happens again. We quickly moved to give law enforcement more power to do this. But that now begs the question, did we move to fast? Did we give too much power away? I don't have the answer.Michael Connelly

The attacks of September 11 were made possible, in part, by the fact that U.S. law enforcement had a bias that 'rich Saudis are safe Arabs.' Al Qaeda understood that bias and relied on it to operate freely in the United States for years, even when the terrorists were engaged in activities that the authorities considered suspicious.Malcolm Nance

We need to recognize that the situation in Ferguson speaks to broader challenges that we still face as a nation.
