• 4:55
  is July eleven, UM, and I know, like I said, we're
• 5:00
  only eleven days into the month. But how are you feeling mentally? UM?
• 5:04
  I guess for me, I can say thank your sister, Thank you
• 5:11
  Sissy. I love it, girl, oh girl. When he said it
• 5:14
  to me, I was like, oh, I try to upgrade, like
• 5:16
  I'm really trying to get up there. I'm trying to do big things,
• 5:18
  y'all. I really truly am um and shout out to you Sissy, UM
• 5:24
  like I appreciate you sharing my videos. I appreciate appreciate your showing up supporting
• 5:29
  me like I love you so much for that. I'm absolutely humble and I'm
• 5:33
  forever grateful UM that you that you tune in and you hang out with your
• 5:41
  girl from time to time. But I love it to say the less nevertheless.
• 5:46
  But um again, I'm doing my mental health checking. I need to
• 5:48
  know how y'all are feeling mentally. Like I say, happy Tuesday, It's
• 5:51
  Taco Tuesday, Testimonial Tuesday, touchdown, TuS di titty Tuesday. Whatever it
• 5:58
  is that y'all want to say, that's what today is. But um,
• 6:01
  I really want to check on y'all mentally again. Y'all know I do this
• 6:05
  every episode. I always have to do a mental health check and I always
• 6:11
  have to make sure that everyone is doing well, not only mentally, but
• 6:16
  physically, emotionally and spiritually. Um. I know, with everything that's going
• 6:21
  on in the world, I know it's difficult mentally. I know it's it's
• 6:28
  it's a struggle to try to stay afloat with everything. The price of gas
• 6:32
  going up, housing is increasing, Affirmative action being taken away overturned by the
• 6:40
  Supreme Court, the Supreme Court UH stepping in and saying they're not canceling student
• 6:46
  loan debts. So I know it's a lot of stress and stream for a
• 6:50
  lot of people because a lot of us were really dependent on that UM to
• 6:56
  get um out of debt. Because I know everyone here, especially minorities,
• 7:02
  were really trying to become homeowners, and they are trying to throw every wrench
• 7:05
  in a way possible to make it impossible for us to U y'all know,
• 7:15
  become homeowners or even to advance in a world that was really truly not even
• 7:18
  designed for us. But I'll save that conversation for Thursday. But um Nad
• 7:25
  says, mentally, I'm drained. I get it, I get it.
• 7:30
  But I want you to know that whatever you're going through mentally, it's not
• 7:35
  gonna last forever. I promise you that. Um, you just keep pushing
• 7:40
  through. UM, don't let the devil defeat you. Step in your purpose,
• 7:46
  show the devil every day that you're up and you're gonna push through.
• 7:50
  Oh. I know you, I know, thank you, and I free
• 7:54
  states you're sharing it the go my sissy, Hey cook, I love you,
• 7:57
  sissy, UM, and I'm glad that you are tuned in as well.
• 8:01
  UM, today made two years that I lost my niece today two years
• 8:11
  Uh, but she lives on, so we're not gonna be sad. Uh.
• 8:16
  I really want us to rejoice, um in the time that we did
• 8:20
  have with her, even though I wish the time would have been longer.
• 8:24
  Um, but I want to celebrate her life and not be sad, uh,
• 8:31
  because it's hard. It's devastating, you know, to know that,
• 8:35
  UM, such a beautiful young spirit was taken away so tragically. Uh.
• 8:39
  But we're still fighting. We are still fighting uh for her and you know,
• 8:48
  for you guys to know that her spirit will forever live on. So
• 8:54
  let me move on before I get too emotional. UM, but we love
• 9:00
  you. We love you. We love you. We love you, we
• 9:03
  love you, we love you. Yesterday? Was it yesterday? Or was
• 9:07
  it today? Was it yesterday? Was it today? It might have been
• 9:15
  yesterday. Anyway, go, it's been two years and she's she's she's absolutely
• 9:22
  missed still to this day. So M but I want to do like I
• 9:30
  said, I want to continue doing a mental health check in again. Whatever
• 9:33
  it is that you're going through, Uh, I pray that you come out
• 9:39
  of your storm victoriously, stronger, resilient, and just stay persistent. So
• 9:46
  just keep dropping in the comments. Let me know how you are feeling,
• 9:48
  mentally, emotionally, spiritually, whatever it is that you need from me,
• 9:54
  let me know so I could show up for you. You know, whether
• 9:58
  U it's just an ear, whether it's a shoulder, whether you just need
• 10:03
  the screen, whether you need to cry, whether you need to yell,
• 10:05
  or it was the tenth that's right, okay, because you called me on
• 10:11
  the third. It was fourth of July weekend. Okay, yeah, it
• 10:18
  was fourth of July weekend when you called me. Oh, but I do
• 10:26
  I want y'all to know that it does get easier. I promise it does.
• 10:31
  With regards to me mentally, I'm okay. Um, I did have
• 10:35
  a moment yesterday while you know, I thought about my dad. I missed
• 10:37
  my dad. Um, But I still push through. I still continue to
• 10:43
  push through. I continue to allow him to know that I'm gonna always make
• 10:46
  him proud. I'm gonna always represent him, represent me, represent the millions
• 10:52
  of beautiful black women and handsome black men out here in this world doing what
• 10:56
  I do. Regardless of who shows up, I'm gonna always continue to show
• 11:01
  up for me. So I want you to show up for you, regardless
• 11:03
  of who supports you, regardless of who's cheering you on. Just always know
• 11:07
  and continue to show up for yourself. That's what you do. Show up
• 11:13
  for you, show up for you, show up for you regardless. But
• 11:16
  whatever storm you're standing in the midst up. I know that you will come
• 11:20
  out victorious. That I know. Huh So jumping into tonight's conversation, y'all,
• 11:28
  I hate having this conversation, but guess what, it's much needed.
• 11:33
  So tonight, yes, we are talking about police brutality and why is this
• 11:39
  shit still happen? Why? Why? What I don't understand is why are
• 11:46
  we not getting justice? We're seeing these crimes happen over and over and over
• 11:56
  and over and over again, and no justice is being served again. I
• 12:01
  could go back to Dante Wright when Kim Potter killed him and she only did
• 12:09
  I think she was only sentenced to what two years? And I don't even
• 12:13
  think she did a year in prison, but she just recently got out earlier
• 12:18
  part of this year. She has been released and you took her life.
• 12:22
  Then you have the upcoming trial of Tyree Nichols. I will keep your guys
• 12:26
  updated on that story because there has been some updates. I will bring you
• 12:31
  those updates as well. I really it's very disheartening to know that police officers
• 12:48
  are are here. They're supposed to protect and served, but who are you
• 12:52
  really protecting because it absolutely is not people that look like me or that look
• 12:56
  like you. I see these stories in these cases where white people get into
• 13:03
  it with the police and they leave unscathed, they go to jail, or
• 13:09
  they go home, But when it comes to the black and brown community,
• 13:13
  we only leave one or two places dead or in an ambulance. And I
• 13:20
  just don't understand why if being a bully was what you wanted to do,
• 13:26
  you never should have became a cop. I look at these police officers as
• 13:33
  bullies with badges that y'all are certified slave masters, and y'all get away with
• 13:39
  this and going back to the eye. But the moment these five black police
• 13:48
  officers be Tyree Nichols, now everybody's in the uproar. Why why are y'all
• 13:56
  not in the uproar when it's the white police officers that are doing it to
• 13:58
  us. I'm not saying black police officers don't do it, but you see
• 14:03
  more white police officers brutally attacking black men and black women, black boys,
• 14:11
  and black girls, and they used the same emo. Oh I was in
• 14:13
  fear of my life, you got the gun in the badge. So who's
• 14:18
  really in fair of whom? I'm more afraid of you because you get away
• 14:24
  with this. If I beat your ass as a police, as a civilian
• 14:31
  beat up a police officer, I'm going to present, I'm going to jail.
• 14:35
  But you police Thompsons do it to us, and y'all get to go
• 14:39
  home and still get to keep your pension. The math ain't mathing. The
• 14:48
  math is absolutely not mathing. That's just like the story I did last week
• 14:52
  when I spoke on the young lady in San Antonio who was shot by three
• 15:00
  police officers in San Antonio and they're being charged with murder. This woman was
• 15:09
  having a mental health crisis. And this woman ends up there, but you
• 15:16
  provoked it. You jumped over her balcony, you snatched the screen off of
• 15:20
  her window, but you didn't call the mental health team that could have came
• 15:28
  out and helped you. But y'all shot her. Three police officers shot one
• 15:35
  when she was forty six years old. But this is what goes on in
• 15:39
  our community. This is what happens. And I really feel like it's time
• 15:43
  for us to start police and a police. And I'm saying that absolutely,
• 15:50
  it's time for us to start police and a police. It's time for us
• 15:54
  to start matching that same energy because I think that I believe that's the only
• 15:58
  way that this is gonna stop. I really feel like the only way that
• 16:03
  this is gonna stop is we've got to start matching their energy because they're killing
• 16:10
  our black boys, black girls, black little kids at alarming rates and nothing
• 16:18
  is done. The only reason Derek Schoulvin was sentenced or he I'm sorry he
• 16:25
  was convicted, is because they were about to burn Minneapolis down. If nothing
• 16:30
  was done, that city was gonna be on fire. That's like if you
• 16:33
  look at Atlanta, we're shot Brooks. The same police officers that killed this
• 16:40
  man are back on the street, back on the streets, and he posed
• 16:48
  no imminent threat. His back was turned when they shot him. All he
• 16:55
  did he was drunk. He fell asleep in the Wind's parking lot in the
• 16:57
  drive through. Had it have been somebody white, you would have let them
• 17:02
  call an uber, a lift. You would allow them to call a family
• 17:06
  member or a love when a somebody to come pick him up. But shop
• 17:08
  Brooks didn't get that opportunity. You're killed them. Then you look at a
• 17:15
  mad Auberry jog and mind in his own damn business. Then you got these
• 17:21
  three guys that come out here that want to be security, want to be
• 17:26
  the police, and you're kill them for what? For what? You got
• 17:33
  out in Sterling who was standing in front of a store selling CDs killed.
• 17:42
  You got Brianna Taylor in her bed asleep killed. And you know who got
• 17:52
  more justice? The wall One time endangerment was the charge. But y'all care
• 18:00
  more about animals than you care about humans, and I don't understand that.
• 18:07
  So by time for us to start meeting for us with force. It's time
• 18:12
  for us to start bearing arms and start up holding our Second Amendment right,
• 18:18
  the rights of bear arms. It's time and I'm advocating for that. So
• 18:23
  again tonight's conversation, police brutality. Why is this still happening? Hey,
• 18:30
  Sissy, I'm with you, like I'm sick of it. Oh like,
• 18:34
  So the first story that I want to get into tonight, this happens in
• 18:38
  Lancaster, California. So so let me let me get everything all queued up
• 18:44
  and ready. So Lancaster, California, for those that are not familiar with
• 18:52
  the story, you had a older black couple that was a um I can't
• 18:59
  even win in Lancaster, California, who allegedly we're stealing a cake. So
• 19:08
  one of the patrons in the store called the police. Police come to the
• 19:12
  store, goings drawn. Okay, you handcuff the man. The wife is
• 19:21
  standing to the side and she's recording. Then you see this police officer brutally
• 19:26
  attack this black woman for recording, punched the slammed her down to the ground.
• 19:34
  Oh yeah, let me go ahead and que this video for you and
• 19:38
  then we'll get back into the conversation. Let me let me make sure here
• 19:44
  we go, here we're going. Then we're gonna get back into the conversation.
• 19:48
  Please go too far. Fox loves Christie a harder. She's live in
• 19:52
  Lancaster now with more tonight, Christie Marlin. Christine activists certainly think they went
• 19:57
  too far. That's why they're planning to hold a protests here on Wednesday.
• 20:02
  What we don't know at this point is what the Sheriff's department thinks, because
• 20:04
  even though we've been asking for two days, we have yet to receive a
• 20:08
  statement or any details about what's on the video. You're about to see.
• 20:18
  Oh no, it's this part of a five minute long video. And what
• 20:22
  happens next when the woman is sprayed in the eyes. That's so outraged Lisa
• 20:30
  Michelle Garrett that she posted what she witnessed on Facebook. I was just so
• 20:37
  flabbergasted that he knocked her down like he did, like she was some big,
• 20:41
  old threatening man with the gun. Garrett says she used to work in
• 20:45
  security. That's why when she saw seven loss prevention officers escorting the couple out
• 20:48
  of the wincow and Lancaster on June twenty fourth, she started rolling. She
• 20:52
  says she heard the man screaming he hadn't stolen anything. Then deputies showed up.
• 21:00
  They handcuffed the man, and the woman he's with starts recording. You
• 21:03
  can hear her screaming about rights. Then the deputy walks over to her.
• 21:15
  Oh no, Garrett says. What you don't see is that the handcuffed man
• 21:19
  is screaming that she has cancer and that the deputy had his fist up.
• 21:25
  Stop get off of her. Don't you soccer, don't you socc a lady.
• 21:32
  He kept saying, I can't breathe. You know, you have your
• 21:34
  knee on my neck. You know I can't breathe. So then she was,
• 21:38
  you know, moving around, trying to get away from him, and
• 21:41
  he got his mace out and sprayed her eyes. It's not clear from the
• 21:45
  angle if the deputy's knee was on her neck or back, and us A
• 21:49
  Force expert Karen Leezer says the video doesn't show what happened before or what deputies
• 21:55
  were told about the couple. There's always two sides of the story and sometimes
• 22:00
  three and four, and this video doesn't show everything, so it would be
• 22:06
  difficult or not advise, to jump to an opinion. But Garrett believes there
• 22:11
  was no justification for what you saw. I would like some justice to happen
• 22:15
  for that couple. I don't know who they are in Again, we reached
• 22:22
  out to the Sheriff's department yesterday and multiple times today. We wanted to know
• 22:26
  what the deputy's version was, whether there's any bodycam footage, and also if
• 22:30
  the people on the video have been arrested and charged. We were told that
• 22:34
  the Sheriff's department was working on a press release and that they would send it
• 22:37
  out this evening. That was hours ago, and we have yet to receive
• 22:41
  it. Live in Lancaster, Christie Pahardo Fox eleven News. I should have
• 22:49
  put up a trigger warning. I'm so sorry you guys that I did not
• 22:53
  put up a trigger warning. But that happened June twenty fourth in Lancaster,
• 22:57
  California. So the best story for those that do not know or that are
• 23:02
  just seeing the video for the first time. It was alleged that the couple
• 23:06
  had stole a cake. Allegedly. Um, as you can see, the
• 23:11
  man does have a cake or it looks like looks to be a cake in
• 23:15
  his hand. And they say the police pulled up, guns drawn. The
• 23:23
  way that that police officer slammed that woman to the ground was unnecessary. You're
• 23:33
  pulled up like these people had weapons. You pulled up. Let me say
• 23:37
  this, y'all should have pulled up on that boy and you're vaulting that killed
• 23:42
  those that shocked those twenty one people in You're vaulting. That's the way y'all
• 23:48
  should have rolled up. Y'all should have pulled up on them like that,
• 23:52
  on him like that. This lady, they had no gun, no weapons,
• 23:56
  So what what threat were they posing for you to handle this woman the
• 24:03
  way that you're in the manner that you did. There is another video that
• 24:07
  I'm gonna play for you where you hear the officer tell her he's gonna punch
• 24:11
  her in the face. But this is who y'all want to protect and serve
• 24:15
  us, absolutely not like. What I don't understand is the rage that they
• 24:26
  have for black and brown people. You never see them do this with white
• 24:32
  people. You never see this, dude, and with white people, but
• 24:34
  you always see it with the black and brown community, and we are the
• 24:38
  most forgiving people. Oh my god, he didn't mean yes he did for
• 24:45
  some reason. These white people don't like us for some reason, but yet
• 24:49
  y'all want to be us. But that's a whole other conversation. Let me
• 24:52
  not run down that rabbit hole tonight, even though I don't mind. But
• 24:59
  at the end of the day, that woman pulls no threat to you.
• 25:02
  That did not warrant for her to be handled in the manner that she was
• 25:07
  handled. That was absolutely sickening to me, Absolutely sickening to me. This
• 25:15
  woman was recording. But you see white people do this all the time,
• 25:23
  But when it comes to black and brown do you want a man handle us
• 25:27
  like we're animals? That lady was not resistant. That man was not resistant.
• 25:33
  The man told you she's got cancer. But again, there was another
• 25:38
  angle of the video again where you can hear him, where he tells an
• 25:41
  op unch you in the face, and you can see where he put his
• 25:44
  knee on her neck, and she's telling this police officer, I cannot breathe.
• 25:49
  Then that ring a belle. Eric Garner told y'all he couldn't breathe.
• 25:53
  George Floyd told y'all he couldn't breathe. Let me, Let me, let
• 26:02
  me, because I'm getting very emotional because we sit back and we watched this
• 26:12
  happen every day, and no justices ever served for us, your white people,
• 26:19
  you cannot say all lives matter until black lives start to matter. So
• 26:23
  I don't care about your white woman tears, don't I don't care about your
• 26:26
  white man tears. I don't care. I'm not racist, but I don't
• 26:33
  care about your tears and what you guys go through, because you know what,
• 26:37
  every black and brown person that tunes in and watches this show every day
• 26:41
  can tell you what we go through every day that we wake up. They
• 26:45
  can tell you what we go through. They can tell you what we experience
• 26:48
  every time we walk out this door. They could tell you the racism that
• 26:52
  we encounter every time we walk into an establishment, and we begging, we
• 26:57
  plead for a second. I'm not begging and I'm not pleading for no one's
• 27:02
  acceptance. You either like me or you don't. Period. But this,
• 27:10
  this incident right here, is sickening to me because now they're doing it to
• 27:17
  the older people. They're doing it to children, mothers, fathers. They
• 27:26
  don't care, and no justices ever served because guess what they get to go
• 27:30
  home, and you know what happens to us. We either go to jail
• 27:37
  or we end up in a cemetery. But before they take us to jail,
• 27:40
  they whooping. I asked us first, and the first thing that they
• 27:44
  stay when they get Oh, I was in fear of my life. Oh
• 27:47
  you pose the imminent threat? How and you got the gun, the badge
• 27:49
  and the teaser. So how are you in fear of me? Especially if
• 27:53
  my hands are up? Look at Philandoka still do y'all remember him told the
• 28:03
  police officer I'm licensed to carry, had no weapon in his hand, didn't
• 28:07
  pose no threat, and was still killed in front of his girlfriend and their
• 28:11
  daughter. I don't never want y'all to forget because modern day slavery is happening
• 28:19
  now. Modern day slavery is happening right now. I'm so sorry that y'all
• 28:26
  can't see it because we have all these distractions that are going on in the
• 28:30
  world. But my sister just sent me a video today how in Mississippi they're
• 28:37
  killing black people for a sport. Yeah, population control is what they're trying
• 28:48
  to do. They're really trying to exterminate us as a race. But it's
• 28:52
  not happening. What baby kids say, we don't die, we multiply.
• 28:57
  Okay, Saints just thought y'all should know. Pay Shannon. It's good to
• 29:04
  see you, honey, fun. I love you, and I need some
• 29:07
  cupcakes. Thinks. I just want to put that out there that's I need
• 29:11
  some cupcakes. Let me know, I'll order, I'll pay whatever I got
• 29:14
  to do. I need some cupcakes. And can you hug my baby Michael
• 29:18
  John for me. I missed them so much. Thank you, So,
• 29:22
  Shannon says, yep, Jewel says, and they should have, but yet
• 29:26
  they still buy like cowards. Absolutely. Jule says that just pissed me the
• 29:30
  fuck off, and it did, and it did, and it did.
• 29:36
  Shannon says, white tears matter, not black lives. Absolutely, and she
• 29:40
  says, or obstruction of justice, that's the one that's the one that's the
• 29:48
  one they always get us is obstruction of justice. But how can I obstruct
• 29:52
  justice if my hands are up like this? And you'll see my hands are
• 29:56
  up, So how am I posing a threat to you? Again? You're
• 30:02
  the one with the gun, the badge and the taser. You get to
• 30:06
  go home and you get to keep your pension. But I leave brutally beaten
• 30:15
  and battered. Or I could possibly lead paralyze the young man that was shot
• 30:23
  by the police officer and he's not paralyzed. Can we talk about Freddy Gray?
• 30:30
  Can we speak on the gentleman and I believe that was South Carolina who
• 30:34
  was laying on the ground with his hands up, who was having a mental
• 30:38
  mental health crisis and was shot. Can we talk about that. I want
• 30:45
  to talk about these police officers that getting that are getting away with murder.
• 30:53
  I want to talk about our rights and how we're violated. Oh thank you.
• 31:00
  I'm so glad you were able to catch me live tonight too. Thank
• 31:03
  you. But I want I want to address that. And I'm and and
• 31:10
  let me see this. I'm not saying all police officers are bad, but
• 31:12
  the ones that don't speak out against the bad ones you're just as worse,
• 31:15
  says, You're worse as them, You're just as bad as them. But
• 31:23
  I think really the most disheartening part is that you see these police officers.
• 31:33
  I want to go back to Christopher Dorner, and for those that do not
• 31:41
  know who Christopher Dorner is, please look him up. Christopher Dorner was a
• 31:48
  Los Angeles police officer that spoke out against police brutality and then was fired from
• 31:55
  his job, so he went on a killing spree. This is almost what
• 32:09
  it's about to come down to. It's because we're now getting we're getting fed
• 32:15
  up. We're getting tired of being your whooping dogs. We're getting tired of
• 32:29
  these police officers killing our loved ones, and they still get to go home
• 32:36
  while we're left to suffer. I want to talk about the police officers that
• 32:44
  stand by and say nothing. I want to address those police officers that aided
• 32:49
  Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd. Y'all could have stopped that.
• 33:00
  I was just watching a video right before the doing this show where a guy
• 33:05
  was in handcuffs and a police officer just started beating on him, and the
• 33:10
  female police officer just stood there and watch. Why does this keep happening?
• 33:22
  What can we do as a community to curtel this? Oh? I know,
• 33:30
  we can go vote. We could go vote at a city level,
• 33:37
  a state level, because we're the ones that are responsible for putting those police
• 33:43
  chiefs in position. But I forgot. We don't go vote because you know
• 33:49
  why y'all say our vote doesn't matter. How do you know? Do you
• 33:55
  not realize its strength in numbers? Oh? I forgot? That's not what's
• 34:00
  That's not the cool thing to do to go vote, right, that's not
• 34:04
  the cool thing to do. But the good thing to do is to go
• 34:06
  stand in line for some Jordan's or the brand new iPhone, or to go
• 34:09
  stand in line for the Black Friday sales. That's cool, right. Don't
• 34:15
  complain if you're not trying to be a part of the change. Don't say
• 34:23
  anything because the president can't do anything. You gotta go out there and you
• 34:31
  gotta vote for your state officials, your local officials, your city officials,
• 34:37
  our votes or who put these people in the positions they're in now. US
• 34:45
  Jewel says, they'll beat you and stand and scream. Stop resisting, as
• 34:50
  you can control that protective reflex of being physical. Absolutely, because if someone's
• 34:54
  beating on you, your natural reflex is to throw your arm up or your
• 35:00
  or you're trying to fight back to keep them from hitting on you. Absolutely,
• 35:04
  but they do that all the time. Look at timor Rice, Sandra
• 35:10
  Bland, look at Catherine Johnston, the ninety two year old woman that was
• 35:19
  in her home kill. Then we have Tyree Nichols, one of my Facebook
• 35:31
  friends. Her his stepson was murdered in Memphis. I want to try to
• 35:37
  get with them because I want to tell their son's story, and no one
• 35:42
  wants to give them answers. Police brutality for you. You see, y
• 35:51
  n WA came out with the song fuck the Police. I think that's how
• 35:58
  people are really starting to feel about law worseman, because we see the things
• 36:00
  that y'all do to us. No justice ever is served Again. They had
• 36:07
  to make an example out of Derek Showing because if they didn't, they we're
• 36:12
  gonna burn Minneapolis down. They tried to make an example in the murder of
• 36:17
  Dante, right, but Kempotter is out of jail. I think she only
• 36:23
  did what fifteen months, sixteen months if she even did that long, And
• 36:31
  then they gave a credit for time being served, and you took a life.
• 36:37
  That baby didn't have a weapon on him. Let's talk about Adam Toledo.
• 36:49
  I could go on and on and on about these police brutality cases,
• 36:53
  but we'd be here and't even no time living on how long we will be
• 36:59
  here. But back to the story in Lancaster. So anyway, so the
• 37:04
  backstory again, as I stated, this couple allegedly was stealing a kate allegedly.
• 37:10
  Ah so, a patron in the store called, was she notified?
• 37:20
  Lost prevention? Lost Prevention called describe what they had on? Police show,
• 37:25
  showed up, guns drawn. I believe the man wasn't resistant. The band
• 37:34
  wanted to know, what do you arresting? What do you arresting me for?
• 37:36
  So we're not arresting you were detaining you. So the woman, I'm
• 37:40
  not sure if that was his wife, started to record and maybe two three
• 37:46
  minutes, we don't know how long she had been recording. Police officer walks
• 37:52
  over, tries to snatch her phone, slams her to the ground, and
• 37:57
  then in the video you could hear the you could hear the police also telling
• 38:00
  her I'll punch you in the face. Yeah, this happened June twenty fourth
• 38:07
  to Lancaster, California. No updates so far because I was absolutely looking because
• 38:14
  baby, I wanted to bring y'all some updates. But let's see if you
• 38:19
  can see from this angle with this story a lot of attention. You know,
• 38:25
  the deputies involved in this incidents have already been taken out of the field
• 38:30
  while the department conducts an investigation, but some in this Lancaster community want those
• 38:36
  off deputies fired immediately. Enough is enough. We have been down this road
• 38:45
  before. We are tied of white deputies beaten black people down as if we
• 38:50
  have no rights. Lancaster residence and community activists are outraged after watching the videos
• 38:55
  of La County Sheriff's deputies arresting a black couple out said their local Winkle grocery
• 39:00
  store on June twenty fourth. I was traumatized. I became very angry,
• 39:07
  and I was profoundly moved to want to take immediate action. It's disturbing.
• 39:16
  There's no ifs and butts about it in any use conference. La County Sheriff
• 39:21
  Robert Luna explained that a Winkle store employee called nine one to report two customers
• 39:25
  were assaulting loss prevention workers after a theft. The couple had allegedly stolen a
• 39:35
  cake. While the man was being handcuffed, the woman was recording on her
• 39:38
  cell phone. Then suddenly, now you can't test. Stop, you can't
• 39:44
  hutch me, Get down on the get on the door. Stop stop having
• 39:57
  it punched in the face. Utch me, and you're gonna on the ground.
• 40:00
  The woman was pepper sprayed while her partner kept telling deputies, imagine if
• 40:12
  it was your grandmother, your auntie, your mother, your sister body being
• 40:15
  slammed to the ground for simply recording their partners mistreatment and unlowful detainment. Just
• 40:22
  couldn't believe my eyes. I was just so upset. Lisa Michelle Garrett was
• 40:28
  sitting in her car watching the arrest and recording on her cell phone. It
• 40:32
  was really, really bad. And he had his fence up to her and
• 40:37
  he said, I'm going to sock you, and as you could hear me
• 40:42
  in a video saying, don't you soccer, don't you fock a woman?
• 40:45
  Oh. The woman, whose name has not been released, was arrested and
• 40:50
  cited for assaulting an officer and battery on loss prevention personal at the store.
• 40:55
  The man faces charges of resisting an officer, petty theft, and interfering with
• 41:00
  a business. Protesters went inside the Winkle store to express their anger, alleging
• 41:08
  store employees called it a robbery instead of petty theft. To get deputies on
• 41:14
  the scene faster if it's a petty theft, when they're off the store,
• 41:16
  the mess all. It is a petty theft was a misdemeanor. But when
• 41:20
  you say an armed robberies, that escalates things to a whole never level where
• 41:22
  people can get killed. No one likes to see that. I don't think
• 41:27
  anybody ever wants to see any force being applied in any manners. If I'm
• 41:31
  looking at this subjectively, what were the deputies thinking, meaning they're responding or
• 41:37
  a robbery? What's happening on the other end. We heard the press conference
• 41:40
  from Sheriff Luna. It was a disgrace, It was disheartening. It was
• 41:45
  disappointing. Sheriff Luna hear us today. We voted for you to do the
• 41:50
  right thing, and we demand that you do the right thing. Sheriff Luna
• 41:58
  says they will be taking a look at the use of force. Was it
• 42:00
  excessive in this case? Keeping in mind what those deputies knew when they arrived
• 42:06
  here, so they will be taking a look at that. And Sheriff Luna
• 42:08
  says, please just have patience while we conduct this investigation. Reporting from Lancaster
• 42:15
  and Gina Silva. I'll center back to you guys in the studio. So
• 42:21
  again, you've told this woman you were going to punch her in the face.
• 42:32
  You told her you were going to punch her in the face. So
• 42:37
  now you see what this created. They lied and said it was an armed
• 42:45
  robbery. You lie, which is typically how situations like this happened. A
• 42:55
  lie. You try to make it seem like the incident was bigger than what
• 43:04
  it was if they were still in a cake. Oh my god, are
• 43:07
  you serious? Armed robbery over a cake? But it was really technically petty
• 43:19
  thefting, like the young ladies stated. When you say it was armed robbery,
• 43:28
  that's why they came the way that they did. These people weren't armed.
• 43:35
  They allegedly stole a cake. But how many videos have y'all seen,
• 43:42
  Well, white people are running in feeling baskets up and trying to run out
• 43:46
  of the store with baskets full of stuff. No police are called. No
• 43:53
  police are called, y'all standing, and y'all watch them. You're standing there
• 44:02
  and you're watching. So I wanted to show that video because you got to
• 44:07
  see it from another angle and you got to hear him tell her I'll punch
• 44:12
  you in the face. But this is not the first incident with the same
• 44:21
  police officer. I wish I could have found the video, but he's been
• 44:29
  in another video against the Hispanic man. I believe it was over a parking
• 44:34
  space. So Jule says, how to fuck you charge her with salt when
• 44:43
  she was clearly the one being assaulted. She said, I'm sick and tired
• 44:45
  of being sick and tired. But right, she said, the employee that
• 44:51
  called in should be charged with making a false fucking police report. And that's
• 44:54
  that's the point I'm trying to get to. Because you lie, you said
• 45:01
  it was armed robbery. You made it seem when you called in, You
• 45:07
  made it seem as if y'all are being held hostage in this store, but
• 45:15
  over a cake? Are you serious? All of this warranted behind the lie
• 45:22
  that you told. But according to my fiance, he says, every racist
• 45:28
  in Lancaster anyway, so this is not surprising. But y'all, lie,
• 45:37
  you're light and you said armed robbery. What's a fifteen dollar kate? What's
• 45:45
  a twenty dollars kate? Ten dollars? I don't know. The cake may
• 45:50
  have been seventy eight dollars. I don't know. But but really so,
• 45:55
  Jel says, but where's this soul called stolen kate? Because neither one of
• 45:59
  those people have kick in their possession. If you go, I want to
• 46:05
  go back to the clip, Sis, because it looked like he did have
• 46:08
  a cake in his hand at the time when um, but see, we
• 46:13
  don't know what happened prior to them being in the parking lot. So I
• 46:17
  did see the cake. I did see he did have it look like a
• 46:22
  chocolate cake. Let me go back real quick. Hold on, uh,
• 46:29
  let me see, let me I want to skip through the video. Let's
• 46:36
  see. Hold on, Sis, let me go back. I want to
• 46:49
  go back because I want to skip through the video because I don't want to
• 46:57
  play the whole thing. But he did it looked like he did have like
• 47:00
  a chocolate cake in his hand. It did look like that. Let me
• 47:09
  see if I could go back and find it. Let's see, cannot go
• 47:20
  back and find it. Okay, let me, let me do this.
• 47:32
  Okay, let me do this, let me go back. And if you
• 47:36
  look at his hands, he does look like he's holding a chocolate cake.
• 47:39
  Here we go for these go too far. Fox Loves Christie A. Harto.
• 47:43
  She's live in Lancaster now with more tonight, Christie Marlin. Christine activists
• 47:50
  certainly think they went too far. That's why they're planning to hold a protest
• 47:52
  here on Wednesday. Well, we don't know at this point is what the
• 47:57
  Sheriff's department thinks, because even though we've been asking for two days, we
• 48:00
  have yet to receive a statement or any details about what's on the video you're
• 48:04
  about to see. Oh no, it's this part of a five minute long
• 48:14
  video. And what happens next when the woman is sprayed in the eyes.
• 48:22
  That's so outraged Lisa Michelle Garrett that she posted what she witnessed on Facebook.
• 48:28
  I was just so flabbergasted that he knocked her down like he did, like
• 48:34
  she was some big, old threatening man with the gun. Garrett says she
• 48:37
  used to work in security, That's why when she saw seven loss prevention officers
• 48:40
  escorting the couple out of the Windcow and Lancaster on June twenty fourth. She
• 48:45
  started rolling. She says she heard the man screaming he hadn't stolen anything.
• 48:49
  Then deputies showed up. They handcuffed the man, and the woman he's with
• 48:54
  starts recording. You can hear her screaming about rights. Then the deputy walks
• 49:00
  over to her. Okay, Sis, I don't know if you're saw,
• 49:09
  but it looked like he was at the time when they were handcuffed him.
• 49:13
  He did look like he had a cake in his hand. It looked like
• 49:15
  I may need to just really kind of zoom in. I was really trying
• 49:20
  to, like skip to the part where you could Ashley see the cake,
• 49:30
  let me get let me see. Can I go back and find but any
• 49:36
  who, whether he had a cake in his hand, whether he didn't have
• 49:38
  the cake in his hand, it didn't warrant for that type of action,
• 49:43
  that type of behavior towards this woman. I mean, over a cake.
• 49:47
  I mean, and I'm with you, Sis, and the fact that you
• 49:51
  lie. This worker lied. Okay, here we go, Sis, let
• 49:55
  me let me skip through. I got it to where I was. Christie
• 50:00
  a Harder, she's live and Lancaster now with more tonight, Chris, please
• 50:06
  some Michelle Garrett, let me they handcuff the man, and the woman he's
• 50:10
  with starts, Oh no, stock, get off of her. Don't you
• 50:25
  soccer? Don't you soccer lady? He kept saying, I can't breathe you
• 50:31
  know, away from him, and he got his mace out and sprayed her
• 50:37
  eyes. It's not clear from the angle if the deputy's knee was on her
• 50:39
  neck. I can't, Karen Leezer says, and let me turn this lady
• 50:45
  off because she was really about to make me knock her ass out anyway,
• 50:50
  because that that foolish niche that she said. But AnyWho, like I said,
• 50:54
  I don't know. I may have to like really zoom in. But
• 50:58
  it didn't look like he had the case. But again, we don't know
• 51:00
  what happened prior to him and her, as you heard the reporters say,
• 51:08
  they were escorted out by seven lost prevention officers, So we don't know.
• 51:15
  We just have the footage of what happened and what escalated in the parking lot.
• 51:20
  So but again, like I say, whether she stole a cake,
• 51:23
  whether she stole an apple. Hell, I see the white people all the
• 51:27
  time walking around Walmart eating grapes. I see your cher in eating chips,
• 51:30
  and y'all don't be paying for him. But that's a whole other conversation,
• 51:34
  because y'all know, I don't mind getting up on my scoop box and having
• 51:37
  this conversation. Y'all know I really don't mind. It. Don't make me
• 51:39
  don't never mind at all. But regardless of what this woman did or regardless
• 51:45
  of what this man did, did not warrant that type of behavior to her,
• 51:47
  not behind a cake. And then it was a lie on top of
• 51:52
  that, because you had the store employee that stayd this was the armed robbery,
• 51:59
  so you escalated, and I'm with you, sis, I need that
• 52:02
  employee. She needs to be held accountable and she needs to lose her job
• 52:07
  or him, him or her, either way it goo they need to be
• 52:09
  without a job because you lie. And now these people have false charges filed
• 52:15
  against them behind the line that you told, behind the kate, behind the
• 52:22
  whole damn kate. So I pulled up some stats y'all that I really want
• 52:29
  to read to y'all, and it's very disheartening when I read these stats.
• 52:31
  And I got this from a website called mapping the police that tracks these police
• 52:37
  brutality cases and they have a breakdown where they go state by state. So
• 52:44
  one of the stats that I found and says police have killed five hundred and
• 52:47
  twenty seven people in twenty twenty three. Police killed at least one thousand,
• 52:54
  two hundred and one people in twenty twenty two. Black people were twenty six
• 53:00
  percent of those killed by the police in twenty twenty two, despite being only
• 53:07
  thirteen percent of the population. Now, make this make sense to me.
• 53:16
  We are only thirteen percent of the population. Only at thirteen percent, that's
• 53:22
  not a very big percentage. But twelve hundred and one people were killed in
• 53:29
  twenty twenty two, and of those twenty twenty six percent of those people that
• 53:35
  were killed were black. We're black. And then you have ninety eight point
• 53:45
  one percent of killings by police from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two have not
• 53:52
  resulted in officers being charged with a crime. Eight point one percent of the
• 54:07
  killings by police from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two have not resulted and officers
• 54:15
  being charged with a crime. That's the point that I just made, is
• 54:21
  that you kill us and you get to go home, y'all beat our ass
• 54:27
  and you get to go home. We don't make it home. We don't
• 54:34
  make it home from these traffic stops. A lot of times we don't make
• 54:40
  it home. And then you wonder why we're so afraid of law enforcement.
• 54:52
  Then you wonder why we don't respect the law. The statistic right here just
• 55:00
  told you that ninety eight point one percent of the killings in a nine years
• 55:05
  span twenty thirteen or twenty twenty two have not resulted in officers being charged with
• 55:10
  a crime. So in a nine years span, ninety one point nine I'm
• 55:16
  so sorry, ninety eight point one percent, so, which means only one
• 55:23
  point nine percent of officers have been charged with a crime in a nine years
• 55:28
  span, and that's from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two. Welcome to America.
• 55:40
  And you want to know how most of these killings with the police begin.
• 55:46
  One of them I just discussed last week. Most killings by police begin
• 55:52
  with traffic stops, mental health checks, disturbances, non violent offenses, and
• 55:59
  where no crime was alleged. One in three killings begin with an alleged violent
• 56:05
  crime. So let's go back and let's talk about this couple in Lancaster,
• 56:10
  California, where the employee lied and said it was armed robbery. You could
• 56:17
  have got these people killed because you lied, because you made a false police
• 56:24
  report, because you called the police and told the police that there was an
• 56:29
  armed robbery going on at the wind Coat in Lancaster, California, when really
• 56:34
  it was just petty theft. They had no weapons on them. So how
• 56:44
  was this a robbery? How was it an armed robbery and they had no
• 56:46
  weapons on them? What's your thought that the cell phone? Again? Let
• 56:54
  me run this back for you. Most killings by police begin with traffic stops,
• 57:02
  mental health checks. I just did it. I just had a conversation
• 57:06
  last week on the lady in San Antonio who was started six years old,
• 57:10
  who would suffering a mental health crisis and was shot by three police officers,
• 57:20
  disturbances, non violent offenses and where no crime was alleged. One in three
• 57:25
  killings begin with an alleged violent crime. So it was a laged in Lancaster,
• 57:30
  California that this was an armed dribery. Again, ma'am or sir who
• 57:38
  works at the wind Coat in Lancaster, California, you could have got these
• 57:42
  two people killed because you lied because you called the police and you told the
• 57:45
  police there was an armed dribery going on at the wind cool in Lancaster,
• 57:50
  California, and it really was not. Now, what if these two people
• 57:52
  would have lost their lives behind your life? How were you gonna be able
• 57:55
  to sleep at night? Oh? Yeah, that's right, you don't care.
• 58:00
  I forgot. You don't care because black lives don't matter to you.
• 58:07
  I forgot. I'm so sorry. But then you also have America's major city
• 58:21
  police departments kill black people at higher rates than white people. Hello, America,
• 58:31
  did you hear what I said of America's major city police departments kill black
• 58:38
  people at higher rates than white people. Argue with your mammy about that,
• 58:43
  Okay, argue with your mammy about that, because this aspects that I'm giving
• 58:51
  to you. I'm giving you pure, unadulterated effects. This is not my
• 58:53
  opinion. This is not some numbers I pulled out of my head. But
• 58:58
  these are accurate numbers. And your right sists alleged pettit thep you alleged that
• 59:08
  these people were in they're still in a cake. You lied. You call
• 59:15
  Lancaster police and said, hey, I'm so sorry. Where it's an armed
• 59:17
  robbery going here when really it was an alleged pettit thep but again cist in
• 59:27
  America. Nine America's major city police departments kill black people at higher rates than
• 59:36
  white people. Now, go argue with your mom, because the next time
• 59:42
  a non melanated person tells me, oh, no, they're killing white people,
• 59:45
  No they're not. They're killing black people at higher rates. They're trying
• 59:52
  to do population control, baby, They're trying to exterminate us. They're trying
• 59:57
  to get rid of us because guess what, white peop people are no longer
• 1:00:00
  the minority. Okay. I thought somebody was ready to have that real live
• 1:00:06
  conversation. Y'all are no longer than minority. Okay, I thought somebody said
• 1:00:15
  something. Okay, because y'all don't want to get on my soulbox because y'all
• 1:00:17
  know what happens when I do. I don't know how to come down,
• 1:00:22
  but I want to say. The trend the fatal police shootings and the United
• 1:00:32
  States seemed to only be increasing, with a total four hundred and thirty two
• 1:00:37
  civilians have been shot, fifty three of whom were black, and that was
• 1:00:43
  as of June first, twenty twenty three. So you have all these fatal
• 1:00:52
  police shootings in the United States and they keep increasing every day, and four
• 1:00:59
  hundred and thirty two civilians, fifty three of them more black. And that's
• 1:01:04
  as of June first, that's only six months into twenty twenty three. Here
• 1:01:08
  we are July eleven. I wonder what the numbers are now. But y'all
• 1:01:17
  not ready to have that conversation because y'all really want to believe that we just
• 1:01:22
  make this shit up, like you don't feel like we're being targeted, and
• 1:01:25
  we really truly are. I just told you we're being hunted for sport in
• 1:01:31
  Mississippi. We're being gunned down at alarming rates. Population control. Let's get
• 1:01:47
  rid of the minority, Let's eliminate them, Let's get rid of them.
• 1:01:59
  And what I don't understand this. We've been on We've been here longer than
• 1:02:02
  y'all have, and we still don't have an anti hate bill. Make it
• 1:02:10
  make sense to me. Show me how two plus two equals five or that's
• 1:02:15
  right, subtract one carry to three add two. But the trend of fatal
• 1:02:25
  police shootings seems to only be increasing, and only at ninety eight point one
• 1:02:32
  percent of the police officers have not been charged with the crime people, A
• 1:02:43
  lot of numbers don't. And then if you want to go back a little
• 1:02:46
  further, in twenty twenty two, there was a total of one thousand and
• 1:02:52
  ninety six fatal police shootings, and then in twenty twenty one there were one
• 1:02:58
  thousand and forty eight fatal shootings by the police. But y'all don't want to
• 1:03:12
  believe that. Y'all really don't want to believe that the hunt is own and
• 1:03:21
  where the pre We're absolutely the priest because when you go back and you're looking
• 1:03:27
  and says government's enacting hard on crime policies, poor police training and a lack
• 1:03:32
  of legal repercussions for officers who use success of force against civilians all increase the
• 1:03:39
  likelihood of this m HM. Again for those tuning in, y'all, welcome
• 1:03:53
  to another episode of Black Girl Interrupted. Y'all know it's your girl Ash.
• 1:03:58
  Y'all know I am bringing you another yet had in spicy conversation on this good
• 1:04:02
  beautiful tools day tonight we're addressing police brutality. Why is this still happening?
• 1:04:16
  I just actually touched on the story in Lancaster, California, But I want
• 1:04:24
  to talk about what happened in Denver. Hold your thoughts and in I want
• 1:04:29
  to jump into the conversation yet again. The Denver Police Department is investigating one
• 1:04:33
  of its own officers tonight after a now viral video shows what appears to be
• 1:04:39
  that officer, who was off duty at the time, slamming a young man
• 1:04:43
  to the ground outside a bar. And sincident happened Monday night after the Nuggets
• 1:04:45
  won the NBA title. A officer was working security at the bar at the
• 1:04:49
  time. Karen Morphett spoke with that young man tonight and Karen, he told
• 1:04:55
  you he has serious injuries as a result. And Michael, he was rushed
• 1:05:00
  to the hospital immediately following in that incident and suffered a serious head injury.
• 1:05:04
  This happened about an hour after that mass shooting downtown on Monday night, and
• 1:05:10
  all of it was caught on video. It does not show the moments leading
• 1:05:13
  up to the slam, and we must warn you it is difficult to watch.
• 1:05:16
  Runs chose to my body, Elijah Smith says watching the now viral video
• 1:05:21
  showing him violently slammed on the ground is painful. I kind of replace how
• 1:05:27
  I felt with the ringing in my ears and my vision going white with lines.
• 1:05:32
  Smith suffered a brain bleed as a result. He's now wearing sunglasses because
• 1:05:38
  of a light sensitivity and uses a cane because of balance issues. I just
• 1:05:42
  don't want no one to ever feel that, because it was something I never
• 1:05:45
  felt in my life. The twenty six year old father of four from California
• 1:05:48
  came to Denver to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was the same night Nuggets
• 1:05:53
  fans poured into the streets after the championship game. Everyone was looking good and
• 1:05:58
  having a great time. At around one am, they left the barn Blake
• 1:06:00
  Street. One of his friends was involved in a fight. Smith says he
• 1:06:04
  tried breaking it up and then walked away. There's nothing going on near me
• 1:06:09
  but bystandards. That's when Adam Glasby and off duty Denver police officer in uniform
• 1:06:15
  approached. The result captured by a bystander and shared thousands of times on social
• 1:06:20
  media. Mark Bryant is Smith's attorney. I think my reaction to the video
• 1:06:25
  is the same reaction of any human. Oh my god, I mean,
• 1:06:29
  I mean wow. Bryant says a formal complaint has been filed and he has
• 1:06:33
  multiple concerns about the use of this type of force. Was he aggressing the
• 1:06:39
  man who'd have any weapons on him? He was not actively engaged in any
• 1:06:44
  fight, So I'm trying to comprehend what precipitates this. Smith doesn't know who
• 1:06:49
  shot that now viral video, and at first thought he'd never watch it.
• 1:06:54
  It was his friends and family who convinced him it should be shared. At
• 1:06:58
  first, I said, no, it's embarrassing. He's like, it's not
• 1:07:02
  He's like, people need to see what's going on now. In a statement,
• 1:07:09
  a spokesperson for Denver Police, the Denver Police Department says the department proactively
• 1:07:14
  opened an internal affairs investigation into that officer, and they say he has been
• 1:07:18
  placed in a non patrol assignment but has not been suspended pending this ongoing investigation.
• 1:07:26
  Michael Karen Smith says he was trying to break up that fight. Do
• 1:07:30
  we know how he was involved? Michael, He does admit he took a
• 1:07:34
  swing during that fight, but then says he backed away from the scuffle.
• 1:07:39
  He and his attorney are looking for more surveillance video to try and get a
• 1:07:44
  better idea of what happened before that slam. Thank you all right, Karen
• 1:07:47
  morph at life for us tonight in Denver. Karen, thank you. Let
• 1:08:06
  me let me take lem let me really get five or ten seconds of this,
• 1:08:12
  because what did this young man do that warranted this type of force?
• 1:08:24
  Your body slammed this young man on the concrete. But I say, white
• 1:08:33
  people all the time, they go to these celebrations and they're setting stuff on
• 1:08:36
  fire, they're flipping cars over, they're busting car windows out, But not
• 1:08:43
  once have I ever seen them be body slammed on the concrete the way that
• 1:08:45
  this young man was slammed. And why is this officer not suspended again?
• 1:08:56
  Why is he put on death dude? Why I see still able to collect
• 1:09:00
  the paycheck and you've taken away from this young man. This young man now
• 1:09:08
  has to walk with a cane. This young man has to wear glasses due
• 1:09:11
  to light sensitivity issues. I hope you soothe young man, and I hope
• 1:09:19
  you win. I'm gonna say this, I really feel like they need to
• 1:09:25
  start holding these officers accountable, start digging into that pension, take that pension
• 1:09:30
  away from him. I think their pension should be compensation to the families.
• 1:09:35
  That's how I feel Some people may say, oh, no, no,
• 1:09:40
  they've worked. Okay, I bet you if you start hitting them in the
• 1:09:44
  podcast, I bet you this will stop. But what do you investigating?
• 1:09:53
  But again, I want to see but regardless of what this young man did,
• 1:09:58
  it did not warrant this type of force, excessive force, and these
• 1:10:04
  police officers are getting away with it just far, far, far too often.
• 1:10:09
  And I'm just not understanding why why is there not a higher conviction reap.
• 1:10:12
  If y'all could convict these petty drug dealers that have a little bit of
• 1:10:16
  weed or whatever, you need to start. You need to start convicting these
• 1:10:21
  police officers. Stop following charges. If you're not gonna follow through with it,
• 1:10:27
  they need to be punished to the highest extent. That's my personal opinion.
• 1:10:33
  That's the way that I feel because again, looking at this video,
• 1:10:36
  this young man, it didn't warrant that that type of force for that young
• 1:10:43
  man was not even warranted. But here's another one, and this one happened
• 1:10:50
  in Michigan, our community on Edge tonight. A warrant officers caught on video
• 1:10:58
  of assaulting a nineteen role and that officer is now facing serious charges. The
• 1:11:02
  officer is on unpaid leave tonight. Thanks for being with us. I'm Kimberly
• 1:11:06
  Kill I'm Devin Skilly, and a security camera caught the assault as it happened.
• 1:11:11
  Victor Williams is hearing from community members tonight, and Victor, they want
• 1:11:14
  to make sure justice is served here. Oh yeah, that's right, not
• 1:11:17
  just community leaders but also just members of the community as well. And speaking
• 1:11:24
  of that community leader, he wants this officer held accountable. We was looking
• 1:11:29
  at it. Who was just talking about it? So it's definitely going around.
• 1:11:32
  It's the surveillance video that everyone's talking about, showing police brutality allegedly at
• 1:11:38
  the hands of war and officer Matthew Rodriguez. He didn't race his smiths at
• 1:11:42
  him or in the private d say some words that provoked him, but there
• 1:11:46
  still shouldn't have been no reason for him to hit him physically and drag him
• 1:11:51
  by his hair like the way he did. Community activist and founder of Thousand
• 1:11:56
  Strong Oliver Gand is no stranger to police brutality. He says there is no
• 1:12:00
  excuse for the officers actions. I was angry. It was shocked again looking
• 1:12:04
  at something that always plays out of the scenes to play out with police officers
• 1:12:10
  a Sadden young black man. He also says part of the reason why community
• 1:12:14
  relations between African Americans and police officers won't heal anytime soon. What that officer
• 1:12:19
  did was basically reinforced to disdag the young black man half of people in authority,
• 1:12:25
  and that's something we're hearing firsthand from Warren. Resident JT honestly told to
• 1:12:30
  be told, I wouldn't really shut because there's something that you would see,
• 1:12:32
  and he suspected because that's how they hate people react differently displacions from a black
• 1:12:36
  milk. He ain't got no type of rice as what they would say,
• 1:12:40
  all rights don't matter to them. That young man could have very well wound
• 1:12:43
  up dead and then they would have told us anything. He shouldn't have put
• 1:12:45
  his hands on that young man. And Devin and Kimberly, we know that
• 1:12:48
  that officer has been placed on administrative leave, but mister Gann is saying,
• 1:12:54
  with that footage that has already been released, he should no longer have a
• 1:12:57
  job live and Warren Tonight, Victor William Local obviously still a ways to go
• 1:13:01
  on this road. We'll keep following it, all right, Victor, So
• 1:13:18
  now do y'all understand why we don't respect the law? Do you understand the
• 1:13:26
  song? Now, by nWay, that's called fuck the police? Now,
• 1:13:30
  do you understand why I don't care if that boy told you the sky was
• 1:13:38
  blue and it's really black? What made you punch the boy that waited you?
• 1:13:45
  And then the two police officer? You didn't even step in to help
• 1:13:47
  him? Yeah, I was nineteen years old. He couldn't have waited no
• 1:13:53
  more than one hundred and ten pounds, stoking wet. Then you bathe his
• 1:14:00
  head on the floor. Then you're threw him into the set. What if
• 1:14:02
  this boy would have hit his head on that concrete post that was inside the
• 1:14:05
  cell. What if he would have died then? What it would have been?
• 1:14:12
  An old? I'm so sorry. Sorry's not cutting it anymore. We
• 1:14:16
  are fed up. Let me tell you, we are to the point of
• 1:14:19
  pissivity where we're over this. We're over the excuses. We're over that.
• 1:14:26
  I'm sorry, We're over the old. This is not gonna happen again.
• 1:14:30
  We're over that. Repercussions need to start happening. I'm with the gentleman in
• 1:14:39
  the video. You got the footage. Why is he on administratively, even
• 1:14:44
  though he's not getting paid. Why was he not fired? How much more
• 1:14:48
  investigating do you have to do? You saw it yourself. The boy didn't
• 1:14:53
  swing at him, He pulls no threat to this police officer for you to
• 1:14:58
  haul off and sucked his boy in the face. It through the way that
• 1:15:01
  you did. Then you stomped on him. Then you threw him away like
• 1:15:04
  he was trashed. Then you it wasn't warmanty. So now do you really
• 1:15:12
  completely understand why there is, like they said in the video, why there
• 1:15:15
  is a disdain for authority from black men and black women, because this is
• 1:15:19
  what you do to us. You disrespect us constantly. But we're supposed to
• 1:15:27
  be okay with that. Hell no, I'm not okay. Hell no,
• 1:15:33
  I'm over it. I'm over it. I don't think y'all even understand how
• 1:15:45
  over it I am. Because we see this happened far too often and no
• 1:15:53
  justice is ever served for these families. These police officers get off scott free.
• 1:16:03
  You get away with murder. How do you sleep at night? That's
• 1:16:14
  what I don't understand. How do you sleep at night knowing that you killed
• 1:16:20
  somebody that polls no imminent threat to you? How did y'all sleep after after
• 1:16:29
  those police officers killed Brianna Taylor? How did they? How did that police
• 1:16:40
  officers sleep after he killed philandoc Still? How did you sleep after you kill
• 1:16:45
  the Tatiana Jefferson? How did you sleep after you kill Botham Gene? See
• 1:16:54
  the thing with me? I talked to talk and walk the walk because this
• 1:17:00
  is sickening because I have a black man and two black daughters in this world,
• 1:17:05
  my son who has had an encounter with the police officers. I myself
• 1:17:10
  have had an account with the police officers. Fuck them, to hell with
• 1:17:15
  them, and to hell with the police officers that stand by and watch this
• 1:17:20
  happen and do nothing. I'm sick of it. I'm sick and tired of
• 1:17:28
  being sick and tired. It's time for us black people, black men,
• 1:17:32
  black women, black boys, and black girls. It's time for us to
• 1:17:35
  get into formation, y'all. It's time for us to start meeting force with
• 1:17:41
  force. It's time for us to start bearing our arms. It's time.
• 1:17:46
  It's time. Maybe then this will stop. Maybe if they start holding these
• 1:17:58
  police officers accountable, start punishing these police officers, stop suspending them with paid
• 1:18:09
  fire them, get rid of them. Stop moving them around to different entities,
• 1:18:15
  Stop moving them around to different counties, different cities. You're creating a
• 1:18:21
  bigger problem when you do that, and we see that far too often.
• 1:18:25
  These police officers that are that are involved in these cases, when their records
• 1:18:30
  a pull, come to find out they've been involved in other police brutality cases.
• 1:18:33
  Berrick Schauvin, prime example, was accused of doing this to a seventeen
• 1:18:40
  year old child. You got the five police officers that killed Tyree Nichols.
• 1:18:46
  One of the police officers had been involved in another incident where he brutally attacked
• 1:18:54
  an inmate when he was a corrections officer. PRIs to him becoming a police
• 1:19:00
  officer. So we're seeing these police brutality cases and you're not resolving the issue.
• 1:19:04
  You're just making it bigger. You're pushing this off for it to be
• 1:19:09
  someone else's problem, and that's sickening to me. Start holding these officers accountable
• 1:19:14
  for their actions. You need to let them know that there are repercussions.
• 1:19:23
  And the sad part about it. I gave y'all the statistics ninety eight point
• 1:19:30
  one percent of killings by the police between twenty thirteen and twenty twenty two,
• 1:19:34
  which is a nine year span, has not resulted in officers being charged with
• 1:19:39
  a crime ninety eight point one percent. Y'all. This is why I stressed
• 1:19:45
  to you. This is why I tell y'all, if you could go stand
• 1:19:48
  in line for these Black Friday sales, if you could go stand in line
• 1:19:51
  for a brand new Apple or the brand new Air Jordan's, you can take
• 1:19:56
  your ass down to the polls and go at a city, state, local
• 1:20:03
  levels, because we're the ones that are responsible for putting these police chiefs,
• 1:20:11
  these judges, these city council members, we're responsible for putting them in the
• 1:20:15
  in the seats that they currently sited. But you won't get out there and
• 1:20:19
  vote. You won't get out there and let your voice be heard. When
• 1:20:24
  things happen is when you want to go out and then you want to make
• 1:20:27
  you want to talk about it. You gotta be proactive, babies, stop
• 1:20:30
  waiting until after this shit happens to know all of us add or let's let's
• 1:20:32
  we won't change. No, we've been, won't change since the La riots.
• 1:20:40
  We've been, won't changed since the Rodney King beats. But you won't
• 1:20:46
  get up and you won't go make a difference. But yet you want to
• 1:20:50
  sit and complain about what's not being done, We'll go out there and let
• 1:20:54
  them know what your feelings not being done. Y'all. Really, I'm sent
• 1:21:00
  me a lot of times, you know what I'm saying, like really,
• 1:21:01
  really and truthfully, And you're right, since they sleep good and she says,
• 1:21:08
  since says they sleep good at night because they give zero fucks about ninjas,
• 1:21:11
  A real, real right. But if you want to be a part
• 1:21:17
  of the change, you gotta get out there and you gotta make a difference.
• 1:21:21
  Go out there and let your voice be heard. Stop letting the media
• 1:21:25
  and these people in this world tell you that your boy does not matter,
• 1:21:28
  because that's a lie. Again, if you can go stand out there for
• 1:21:34
  a brand new pair of air joints, if you could go the way y'all
• 1:21:38
  rushed online today for Amazon Prime Day, that's the way y'all need to be
• 1:21:42
  rushing to go stand down at these polls to elect your local city and state
• 1:21:45
  officials. But I'm a mind my black owned business though, because I'm just
• 1:21:54
  you know, I'm just preaching to the choir because again, y'all complained,
• 1:22:00
  But yeah, you're not trying to get out there to make a difference.
• 1:22:03
  But y'all mad thought, y'all mad at the superintendence of the school districts,
• 1:22:10
  y'all mad at the at the judges, y'all mad at the chiefs of police.
• 1:22:15
  Get your ass out there and go vote. Go out there and there
• 1:22:20
  your grievances with these people. It's strengthened numbers. Y'all. You don't get
• 1:22:29
  out and make a difference. Guess what. You don't have a right to
• 1:22:32
  complain. You don't have a right to say anything. You don't have a
• 1:22:38
  right to complain about anything. So my question to you is what are the
• 1:22:46
  ways to decrease police brutality. I just gave your three of them. Vote,
• 1:22:54
  vote, vote what we need to do. One of the things that
• 1:23:00
  I found that we need to do is we need to promote community policing.
• 1:23:08
  Bring back the neighborhood watch. Y'all. Remember that there needs to be a
• 1:23:13
  ban on chokeholds and strangeholds. We need to invest in crisis intervention teams.
• 1:23:20
  Those are for the calls when officers are called out for mental health cases.
• 1:23:29
  We need to increase the number of mental health professionals and law enforcement agencies and
• 1:23:34
  we need to involve the psychologists. But number two is big. We definitely
• 1:23:42
  need to ban chokeholes and strangeholds. That definitely needs to be banned. When
• 1:23:49
  I say we need to invest in the crisis and avention teams, that's where
• 1:23:54
  y'all need to be utilized in the tax dollars. Instead of buying police officers
• 1:23:57
  brand new cars every year, what's wrong with the old ones? That's where
• 1:24:04
  the funding needs to go. Instead of sending our money to these other countries.
• 1:24:11
  You need to take care of America first. You need to take care
• 1:24:14
  of your people first. But I forgot we don't matter. So y'all don't
• 1:24:19
  care, and they show us every day and guess what we forgive and forgive
• 1:24:26
  and forgive. I'm tired of forgiving and I'm tired of turning the other cheek,
• 1:24:30
  period. So y'all know what y'all need to do America. I've told
• 1:24:34
  y'all what you need to do. I've told y'all what you needed to do.
• 1:24:44
  I think these police officers, their pensions need to be taken away from
• 1:24:46
  her. I don't give a damn if you gave fifty years to the force,
• 1:24:49
  you commit a crime in a person's eyes. You need to compensate that
• 1:24:51
  family through your pension period period point blame. That's what I think needs to
• 1:25:00
  happen. Let's see my sisters say publicly, publicly embarrassment. Make these officers
• 1:25:09
  take care of these families for life. Absolutely, that's exactly what I just
• 1:25:13
  said, because take that pension away from them. I don't understand how you
• 1:25:24
  could see what these police officers do and you still suspend them with paid Why
• 1:25:31
  should they still get paid? Why? Why are they not fired? Why
• 1:25:44
  can't the white officers that do this, Why can't they get swift justice the
• 1:25:48
  way they swooped in and swamped in on the five police officers that killed Tyree
• 1:25:53
  Nichols. You need to do this for your white counterparts. That's what I
• 1:26:00
  think should happen. And then you wonder why we have no respect for the
• 1:26:05
  law. Then you wonder why we come out with songs that say fuck the
• 1:26:11
  police. This is a prime example why police brutality. They're killing us at
• 1:26:21
  alarm and rates. Yeah, I know it's tiring, I know it's frustrating.
• 1:26:28
  I know we talk about it all the time, but we have to
• 1:26:35
  That's just like we have to keep talking about the little black girls and black
• 1:26:39
  boys and black men and black women that go missing every day and get little
• 1:26:42
  to no media coverage. But they always give us a distraction. Only give
• 1:26:54
  us distractions. That's all they do, one distraction after another to really deter
• 1:27:03
  you from what's really going on in the world. They're eliminating us, y'all.
• 1:27:09
  They're exterminating us at a high rate. They are. And y'all just
• 1:27:18
  don't seem in the care y'all, just a bad eye and turn your head
• 1:27:20
  like nothing until it's knocking at your front door. And then you want me
• 1:27:25
  to get out and you want me to advocate, You want us to advocate,
• 1:27:31
  get out there and be a part of the change. Raphael says,
• 1:27:40
  we're only three fourths. Animals have more rights than we do. Absolutely,
• 1:27:45
  I said that earlier. They care more about animals than they do about us,
• 1:27:54
  and that's sad. But we forgive, and we've fight to be accepted
• 1:28:00
  by a race of people that can't stand us. We beg and plead to
• 1:28:09
  sit in their establishments where they don't want us. But let me not run
• 1:28:16
  down that rabbit hole to night, because again, we'll be here all night
• 1:28:20
  long if I did. But all I know is that I'm tired of forgiving.
• 1:28:27
  I'm tired. I'm over it. I'm overseeing videos of these black boys
• 1:28:34
  and these black men, and these black girls and these black women that are
• 1:28:38
  mistreated and mishandled by the same people that stand up and taken over to protecting
• 1:28:44
  sir. But I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen. There will be another
• 1:28:50
  Christopher Dorner. I can bet your bottom dollars on that one. There's gonna
• 1:28:57
  be another Christopher Dorner. There's gonna be sad to say, but I really
• 1:29:04
  see it. I really see it coming. I'm not speaking it into existence,
• 1:29:10
  I'm not calling that into the universe, but I really truly see another
• 1:29:15
  Christopher Dorner incident coming to play. I really truly see that. So America,
• 1:29:23
  when that happens, y'all better be armed, locked, loaded, and
• 1:29:27
  ready, because I really see this coming. Because with these police brutality cases,
• 1:29:34
  they're not decreasing. And I just gave you all the numbers, just
• 1:29:41
  gave y'all the numbers. So sad to say, but I pray for every
• 1:29:51
  family that's encountered in any type of police brutality. I pray that justice has
• 1:29:56
  served, although no money or no nothing in the world can compensate for your
• 1:30:00
  loss. But I continue to pray for your family, and I pray that
• 1:30:05
  peace comes into your home and over your hearts and over your lives because we
• 1:30:12
  see this far too often. And no, I don't want to hear about,
• 1:30:15
  oh what black people are killing each other? Okay, but that's not
• 1:30:20
  the conversation for the night. I'm discussing police brutality and why does this keep
• 1:30:29
  happening? So as I bring this little segment to a close, because I
• 1:30:33
  can't wait to share y'all my look surprised, y'all. I can't wait.
• 1:30:39
  I'm so excited. So I'm gonna bring this segment to a close, um,
• 1:30:44
  because I want to discuss the upcoming episode for Thursday, and then I
• 1:30:47
  want to give y'all a little treat at the end of this episode tonight.
• 1:30:50
  I want to leave y'all with this at the end of this segment because this
• 1:30:56
  is my final thoughts. So let me let me go ahead and let me
• 1:30:59
  let y'all know, uh that this is this is this is this is my
• 1:31:02
  final thought right here, and I'm gonna leave y'all with this video. This
• 1:31:06
  is Malcolm X. And when I tell y'all, I think I've watched this
• 1:31:13
  video too many times to count. Jewel says facts facts, But I want
• 1:31:21
  to leave y'all with this video on as I in the segment, this is
• 1:31:27
  Malcolm X and his speech addressing police brutality. This is my final thought because
• 1:31:34
  I'm not gonna I'm not I'm ending my my conversation with this video because i
• 1:31:40
  want to give y'all my nice, little, cute, little surprise that's gonna
• 1:31:44
  happen here we go. In order for you and me to devise some kind
• 1:32:15
  of method or strategy to offset some of the events or repetition of the events
• 1:32:23
  that have taken place here in Los Angeles recently. We have to go to
• 1:32:28
  the root. We have to go to the cause. Dealing with the condition
• 1:32:32
  itself is not enough. And it is because of our effort toward getting straight
• 1:32:39
  to the root that people ofttimes think we're dealing in hate. We are oppressed,
• 1:32:47
  we are exploited, we are down trotting, we are denied not only
• 1:32:53
  civil rights, but even human rights. So the only way we're going to
• 1:32:57
  get some of this oppression and next, like Titian a week from us or
• 1:33:01
  a safe from us is come together against the common enemy. Who taught you
• 1:33:09
  to heat the texture of your head, who taught you to heat the color
• 1:33:14
  of your skin to such extent that you bleach to get like the white man
• 1:33:19
  who taught you to heat the sheep of your noise and the sheep of your
• 1:33:24
  lips, who taught you to heat yourself from the top of your head to
• 1:33:29
  the souls of your fear, who taught you to heat your own kind,
• 1:33:32
  who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that
• 1:33:36
  you don't want to be around each other. Who know before you come asking,
• 1:33:41
  mister Muhammad, does he teach heat? You should ask yourself who taught
• 1:33:45
  you to heat? Being what God gave you? And I ain't, for
• 1:33:51
  one, as a Muslim, believe that the white man is intelligent enough if
• 1:33:57
  he will made to realize how black people really feel and how fat up we
• 1:34:01
  are without that a compromising sweet talk, stop sweet talking in, tell him
• 1:34:06
  how you feel, tell him how what kind of hell you've been catching,
• 1:34:11
  and let him know that if he's not ready to clean his house up.
• 1:34:17
  If he's not ready to clean his house up, he shouldn't have a house
• 1:34:24
  should catch you on fire and burn down, and I'm just gonna leave my
• 1:34:40
  final thought on that one baby now. AnyWho, but before I even give
• 1:34:47
  y'all my little news, my little surprise, UM, I want to first
• 1:34:51
  say thank y'all every every week for y'all tuning in with Black Girl Interrupted again.

• 1:35:26
