“The thrust [of the county courthouse] is to physically remove and destroy families
through the use of the criminal justice system. Every person they can put in jail;
every person whose voting rights they can revoke with a felony conviction;
every person they can cause to lose their job by putting them on probation;
every person they can cause to lose the ability to pay for basic necessities through
imposing ruinous court costs and probation is all part of the process. In the 1960s,
it was called Negro removal. In Bosnia, it was called ethnic cleansing. It could be
called genocide, the removal of the minority population for the purpose of
redevelopment of the land. That’s what’s happening in Benton Harbor and the
foremost leader of the resistance is Rev. Edward Pinkney.” -Atty. Hugh "Buck" Davis
