Motus Mentis

From a column by Thomas Sowell, today at NRO:

Let the responsibility lie with whoever forces a resort to force.

Also:

For people who have never tried to take into custody someone resisting arrest, to sit back in the safety and comfort of their homes or offices and second-guess people who face the dangers inherent in that process ”” dangers for both the police and the person under arrest ”” is yet another example of the irresponsible self-indulgences of our time.

Exempli gratia:

How can six police officers subdue one troublesome suspect? I dunno, you tell me: two officers grab his left arm, two officers grab his right arm, one officer handcuffs him, and the other officer takes a selfie?
