and the old POLICE KILLING thread frozen in time right after the Diallo killings OLD FR POLICE THREADS
This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.' Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember'd; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Edward Everett Horton Born March 18, 1886 Brooklyn, NY
Died September 29, 1970 Encino, CAEdward Everett Horton's trademark personality could be compared to a "worried penguin." He was tall and somewhat aristocratic looking, with a thin mouth. He would combine these elements with a triple take that would start off with a furtive leer that would quickly change to a worried look and followed by a dithering panic attack. His performing career was a long one, and he worked up until the end of his life...
When the sound era arrived, so did Edward Everett Horton. He was in big demand by all of the studios in the Hollywood, as well as a beloved supporting player in some British films as well. Horton made his mark in 1930's films (as his usual, panicky penguin) such as The Front Page (Howard Hughes Production for United Artists, 1931), starring Adolphe Menjou, Pat O'Brien and a wonderful cast of character actors...
Horton appeared in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon (Columbia, 1937), starring Ronald Colman. He also supported Marion Davies with several other wonderful character performers, in the last year of Miss Davies' film career, in Hearts Divided (Marion Davies Production for Warner Bros., 1937)...
During the 50's Horton turned mainly to television. Younger generations were amused and quickly adopted Horton as a personal favorite. He is fondly remembered as the familiar narrator of "Fractured Fairy Tales" that was a part of Jay Ward's Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show... He made a cameo appearance in the homage to all remaining screen comedians (there were still quite a few at that time), in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (United Artists, 1963), directed by Stanley Kramer. His last film was Cold Turkey (United Artists, 1969 - released in 1971), directed by Norman Lear and starring Dick Van Dyke.
In his last years, two comments that Horton made were, "Retirement? What's that?
