Good Cop (2011)

John Bourgeois: Sgt. Blount

Quotes 

• Sgt. Blount : You still think you can target their leaders?

  Gregory Parker : It's hard to pin them down when they're using black-block techniques.

  Sam Braddock : [Watching security footage of protesters swarming Spike in the SUV]  Dress in black, hide your face, vandalize, agitate.

  Jules Callaghan : And then blend right back into the block. Or ditch the black gear and disappear back into the civilians.

  Mike Scarlatti : Except I recognize him. Guy with the eyebrow scar, he got right in my face. I can do a facial recognition search from the INTERPOL database.

  [Isolating face of protester with scar] 

  Jules Callaghan : Check out his body language, even the civilians are following his lead.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : But we get too close, he disappears. We'd have to round up everyone who's dressed like him.

  Mike Scarlatti : Isn't that fashion profiling?

  [Sam chuckles] 

• Gregory Parker : You flex your muscles, you might push 'em past the tipping point.

  Sgt. Blount : Crowd psychology has its own rule. The collective IQ drops by half and people do crazy-ass crap they'd never do alone, which is why we have to keep our message real simple.

  Gregory Parker : Tim, this isn't your everyday mob here. There are innocent people.

  Sgt. Blount : Greg, I'm sorry, I'm working here. Sign me up for your workshop on a training day.
