John Heard: Sheriff Dozier

Quotes 

• Dr. James Farmer, Sr. : [after Tolson is unjustly captured and imprisoned]  Since you have no evidence, I suggest you let him go.

  Sheriff Dozier : Are you threatening me, boy?

  Dr. James Farmer, Sr. : No, sir. I wouldn't do that. But I cannot speak for those people outside.

  [points toward the riotous mob gathered outside the sheriff's office]
