Roger Waters
 All my life, ... I have been preoccupied with the great tragedy of losing family in wars. The pain of losing a parent or a child in (an act of) violence that is purposefully and directly generated by political forces is in a certain way harder to bear than if someone dies in, say, an accident. The death feels more preventable. |

| He was in custody when our officers got there, ... There's no need for an investigation. We didn't lay a hand on him. |
