Robert Wisdom: Major Howard 'Bunny' Colvin

Quotes 

• Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin : [...]  This drug thing, this ain't police work. No, it ain't. I mean, I can send any fool with a badge and a gun up on them corners and jack a crew and grab vials. But policing? I mean, you call something a war and pretty soon everybody gonna be running around acting like warriors. They gonna be running around on a damn crusade, storming corners, slapping on cuffs, racking up body counts. And when you at war, you need a fucking enemy. And pretty soon, damn near everybody on every corner is your fucking enemy. And soon the neighborhood that you're supposed to be policing, that's just occupied territory.

• Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell : Are you threatening me?

  Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin : I believe I am, sir. My apologies.
