Bruce Jones Quotations

When I met with police, we told them the only thing we wanted out of this was integrity of the investigation, so that this doesn't ever happen to another family,

Many of our people have lost their homes.

I find it hard to believe there's nothing we can do to stop this, dead center. Bring it to a head and stop it.

Those numbers are incredible. They thought a half a million dollars wrong.

We've never seen anything like this. The devastation is overwhelming, ... We're arriving at flooded areas, where we see handkerchiefs waving from roofs.

And we got calls today, 'We need you ... to go to a place in St. Bernard Parish. It's a hospice, ... and there are 10 dead and there are 10 dying.' But those people were probably alive yesterday or the day before.

The best scenario is the truth about what happens comes out, ... There is a problem in the way officers responded to this incident and their use of deadly force. It's not only what the standard is, its how you train your officers to apply that standard and minimize the use of deadly force.

If there was a barrier in the center, people wouldn't even think about passing.

The initial response is always to blame the police and CHP.
