Nettle:
[appearing before a public city council meeting] As you gentlemen and ladies know, I took over the job of Chief of Police six months ago.

Mayor:
[correcting him] Acting Chief of Police.

Nettle:
Acting Chief of Police - yes, sir. Now, at that time I had only a cursory knowledge of the volume of drug trafficking within the city.

Nettle:
[Holds up a drug syringe with a Police Department evidence tag on it] This syringe was found two weeks ago on a playground at Lamar Junior High. [holds up another syringe from evidence] A high-school teacher took this off a sophomore. [holds up a small revolver] This here came off a little colored boy who was selling marijuana joints to his friends.

Mayor:
I believe we've seen enough now to appreciate your point, Acting Chief Nettle.

Nettle:
With all respect, sir, I think the people of Katterly need to know what their children are facing when they send them off to school in the morning. [hearty applause from the audience]
