"I would have to say, with great respect for Mr. Gowdy, there is a big difference. One is a private tragedy; the other is a public tragedy, because it is under color of law."

"I don't think they should be enshrined in the Constitution."

"disproportionately victims are from the ranks of the poor, from people of color, and others who are in the worst position, in some ways, to protect themselves."
