• Bobby Seale : We not anti-white, we anti-oppression! You can't fight racism with racism.

• Nervous cop : [Panthers approach Oakland Cops beating a man outside a night club with a large crowd observing]  So uh Huey, So what's your telephone number?

  Huey Newton : I confirmed with you my address that's all I'm required by California law, we ain't broken no laws!

  Nervous cop : Then what are you doing with that gun?

  Huey Newton : Well what are you doing with yours?

  Nervous cop : Let me see that rifle son!

  Huey Newton : No! This is my private property! According to California Law, we have a constitutional right to bear arms!

  Grove Street cop : [to Crowd intrigued by Panthers]  Move Along, go about your business

  Huey Newton : Wait Wait Wait, Brothers and Sisters, No, you ain't gotta go nowhere, this is your business, stay right here! The law states as long as you are standing a reasonable distance, that's eight to ten feet to be exact, you have the right to observe the police carrying out their duties, and from what I can see, you are standing twenty two feet away from this man! So Brothers ain't no law being broken!

  Bobby Seale : That's right, you stay right where you are, you ain't got to go nowhere!

  Nervous cop : Is that gun loaded BOY?

  Huey Newton : Fish and Game law clearly states it is unlawful to carry a live round of ammunition in a chamber of a shotgun or rifle in a vehicle PIG!

  Grove Street cop : [Angrily, as crowd cheers on Panthers]  Refer to him as OFFICER!

  Bobby Seale : Then don't you refer to him as BOY!

  Nervous cop : Well, is it loaded?

  Huey Newton : I'd tell you Officer it wasn't, but now it is!

  [Panthers cock guns and approach officers with crowd cheering] 

  Nervous cop : Now for the last time boy, what do those guns mean?

  Huey Newton : They mean PIG that the Black Panther Party declares you try to brutalize our community, you try to take our weapons, we'll shoot you!

  [Police look around and then retreat to Patrol Cars as crowd cheers on Panthers] 

• Bobby Seale : Brother Malcolm said we should stop sangin' and start swangin'.
