Lecture: Decision (1952)

The way you can aberrate a whole society is take and put a police force over the top of them that permits them to be arrested and manhandled, given traffic tickets and sent to jail and pushed around and taken into courts of law and everything else, and then you don’t let the guy do it himself. He then has a sensation of being handled, pushed, handled, pushed, censured and so on. And he gets all of these counter efforts and he can’t use any of them. Because the police object to being shot and pushed. I don’t know why, it’s only sporting.¹
