The police and I have a deal. I don't talk to them and they don't listen to me

Walter Mosley is a renowned American author known for his crime fiction novels, particularly the Easy Rawlins series. In his works, Mosley often explores themes of race, class, and justice, offering a unique perspective on the criminal justice system and the relationship between law enforcement and marginalized communities.

One of the most famous quotes attributed to Mosley is, “The police and I have a deal. I don't talk to them and they don't listen to me.” This statement encapsulates the complex and often fraught relationship between law enforcement and individuals who feel marginalized or disenfranchised by the system. Mosley's characters, particularly Easy Rawlins, often find themselves caught between a desire for justice and a deep distrust of the police.
