• No disparen es una obra de filosofía moral que se lee como una novela negra: Immanuel Kant se mezcla con Joseph Wambaugh. Es una historia fascinante, inspiradora y maravillosamente bien escrita sobre la búsqueda de un hombre para resolver un problema que nadie creía que pudiera resolverse: el azote de la violencia de las bandas en el centro de las ciudades. Se trata de una obra de vital importancia que tiene el potencial de marcar el comienzo de una nueva era en el ámbito policial.

• Mueren muchas más personas en los países en desarrollo que en Occidente. Sobre todo en fiestas religiosas. No es un mito: las cifras no mienten. Creo que se debe a que en Occidente las multitudes tienden a ser fabricadas por intereses comerciales, y ellos tienen, o al menos deberían tener, la responsabilidad de mantener a salvo a la gente.

• I don't think you can hold someone accountable for trampling someone else, because that person was probably pushed from behind. But if someone picks your pocket in a crowd, it's no different from any other act of that kind, in another situation.
