Dirty Cops

Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or cops:

    “Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
    —Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)

    “Jim Wilson: Cops have no friends. Nobody likes a cop. On either side of the law. Nobody.
    Captain Brawley: Is that what you want? People to like you? Then you’re in the wrong business and you ought to get out.
    Jim Wilson: It’s the only job I know. Has been for eleven years now.
    Captain Brawley: Then make up your mind to be a cop. Not a gangster with a badge.”
    —A.I. (Albert Isaac)
