Sen. Kennedy:
Who told you they were gonna riot? Sherriff Smith:
[thrown offguard, shifty pause]
The foremen. Right out there in the fields. The ones we were talking to said that if we didn't stop them, they were gonna cut their hearts out. So rather than let things get out of hand, we just removed the cause. Sen. Kennedy:
This is a most interesting concept, I think. That you suddenly hear talk of somebody who's gonna get out of order, perhaps violate the law, and so you go in and arrest the intended *victim* of the crime, and they haven't done anything wrong
