You should give up freedom for safety.

Tulsa, Ok police chief tells us we need to give up some freedoms for safety.
I say Berkley on the Arkansas needs a new police chief and the mayor that appointed him also need to be run out of tow on a rail.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

If giving up freedoms make you safe then prisons must be the safest places on earth.
