Quote by Bobby Seale
On the one hand, the guns were there to help capture the imagination of the people. But more important, since we knew that you couldn't observe the police without guns, we took our guns with us to let the police know that we have an equalizer.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the dual purpose of guns in a specific context. Firstly, the presence of guns was meant to capture the attention and imagination of the people, perhaps symbolizing power or revolt. Secondly, the quote highlights that carrying guns was necessary because the police themselves were armed, reminding them that the people also possessed a means of defense or protection, thus establishing a sense of balance or equality in a potentially oppressive or dangerous situation.
