  Speaker 2: Donkey of Today for Thursday, August fifteenth, goes to thirty
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: six District Court Judge King of King. Okay, Judge King,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the levels of disappointment I have for you this morning. Okay, you,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: my brother, my brother, my brother. I just don't understand humans. Okay,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I don't understand humans like I believe I understand humans.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: One thing that therapy has taught me over the years
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: is to always put yourself in other people's shoes. You
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: have to attempt always to see other humans as you
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: see yourself. You have to attempt to see other humans
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: as you see people you love. So I have a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: sixteen year old daughter, so naturally, if I see something
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: happen to a sixteen year old, especially a sixteen year
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: old girl, I'm like, damn, why would he handle a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: sixteen year old girl like that? And that is exactly
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: what my mind is in regards to Judge King of King, Judge,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: why would you do what you did to this sixteen
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: year old teenage girl? I know you're sitting saying yourself
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: with Charlamagne, what did he do? Well?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Let's go to ABC seven for the report. Please, no, baby,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you'll learn about my court room is that I'm not
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a toy.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be played with. What started out as
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: an informational field trip with the greeting of Detroit nonprofit
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Tuesday to the thirty six District Court in front of
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Judge King, quickly turned into Judge King getting visibly agitated
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: over a sleeping student in his courtroom while.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: My court room home time and putting you in the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: back instead.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Judge King had her removed from the courtroom, but he
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: told me that didn't fix her quote attitude, and that's
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: when he pulled out the jail uniform and handcuffs. King
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: says he was trying to teach the teenager a lesson
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: on behavior and respect in court.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I haven't been disrespected like that in a very long time.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: He then threatened the girl with jail time.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: While you're sitting in a juvenile attention to Was I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: really going to do that? Probably not? Could I have?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Probably so?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: The nonprofit running the field trip tells me in a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: statement quote, although the judge was trying to teach a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: lesson of respect, his methods were unacceptable. The young lady
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: was traumatized by the judges unnecessary disciplinary treatment and scolding.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Judge Kenneth King, are you serious? A sixteen year old
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: girl is on a field trip. She keeps falling asleep
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: on the field trip, and you decide to do an
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: impromptu hearing for her because of her attitude and constant
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: sleeping on the trip. You told that sixteen year old girl,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: if you fall asleep in my coat room one more time,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna put you in the back. I am not
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to be played with. What an ego driven statement, Judge King.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: You are a leader, and there are three rules of leadership.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: The first rule of leadership is put your mission above
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: your ego. What were you trying to get across to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: these kids on this field trip? What was your intention?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: What was the mission? Because it sounds to me like
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you was just flexing. You was just trying to showcase
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: your authoritie. Okay, you wanted them to respect you, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: clearly you're not able to gone and respect without that role,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that gaveling that bench.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, you not to be played with.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: No, you played yourself because I told you the first
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: rule of leadership.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: The second rule of leadership is if you don't care
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: about your people. They won't care about your mission. You
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: didn't care about that little girl. You don't know why
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: she kept falling asleep.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You have no idea.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: She might be sixteen with a couple of younger siblings
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and has to stay up all night watching them because
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: her single mother, her single mom.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Is at work and can't afford the babysitter.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Hell, she might be sick and on some type of medication,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and the medication might be making her drowsy. I don't know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: My point is, Judge, you didn't even bother to find out.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You didn't care.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: You just got offended because she kept falling asleep in
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the courtroom and you wanted to show her you nothing
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to play with. Why not ask her why you're so tired?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You seem exhausted, young lady? What's going on? Have a
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: conversation she was going on in the young woman's life, Judge,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And guess what, Judge, Kenneth King, the third rule of
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: leadership is if I have to tell you the first
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: two rules of leadership, then guess what.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: You're not ready to lead yet.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, I know you've been a judge in that court
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: since two thousand and six, but I'm calling that a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: whole tenure in the question. Okay, first of all, you
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: suggested this young lady needed to be behind.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Bars for what Why.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Falling asleep in the courtroom is not a crime. You
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: traumatize this young girl simply because she was exhausted. If
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: her daddy catches you in the street and wants to fade,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you earn that. If her daddy and his brothers and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: cousins catch you in the street and jump you, then
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you earn that. Because there's no way in hell that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: sixteen year old girl should be threatened with handcuffs into
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: jail uniform all because of your ego. He was trying
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to teach a lesson in respect and ended up showing
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: us why you don't deserve any If you thought the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: kid was being disrespectful, simply asked them to leave your court. Instead,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you decided to talk to him like this. Let me
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: hear him, alredy, you fall asleep.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: In my courtroom one more time and putting you in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the back instead.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: You don't care, how so as we bring the prison
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: she can step back there.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He's got a uniform for it too.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: What made court?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And then when I asked you about it, you fall
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: asleep again.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Then I try to wake you up like you don't care.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: I have no problem because I'm gonna go stick while
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: you're sitting in the juvenile attention to.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: What makes you think you can talk to my child
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Then he had the nerve to say to the Detroit
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Free Press, I wasn't trying to punish to the young lady.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And he was also traumatized by the hearing. How the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: hell were you traumatized by the hearing? You're not a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: victim here. You had zero empathy for this young lady
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, your fragile ego was bruised because
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: this young lady kept falling asleep in the courtroom, so
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you decided to threaten her with handcuffs and jail clothes. Man,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: everybody involved in this situation needs to be disciplined, to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: judge the officers who went along with this nonsense, All
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of y'all need to be disciplined in some way shape
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: or for him suspended without pay.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: This is an abusive power.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Her parents should be able to sue, and this young
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: girl should be compensated for her pain and suffering. Judge
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Kennef King said he wanted this to be a deterrent,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a deterrent from what what was she doing wrong? Being tired?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It's a field trip, the judge said, I wasn't trying
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to punish the young lady, but you did. You wanted
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to show her this is not a joke. What is
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: not a joke. It's almost like your feelings were hurt
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: because these kids weren't excited to be in the courtroom.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: They weren't excited to me, the honorable Judge Kenneth King.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Nothing honorable about your actions. King. Then you got the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: nerve to reach out to the girl's family and offer
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the mentor her talking about you trying to get through
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to her fool You still don't even know why she's tired.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Why would I want you as.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: A mentor after you abuse your power and threaten to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: put my daughter in handcuffs and jail clothes because she
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: fell asleep in your courtroom on a field trip. Man,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: somebody sew the brakes off these people. You don't traumatize
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: this girl. We don't even know what else she dealing with.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: But whatever it is, you made it worse because you
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: abused your power. And that's why you need to be
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: taking off the bench for a little while, so you
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: no longer have the.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Power to abuse.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Everything Judge King said should happen to this young girl
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: needs to happen to him. How do we deter Judge
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: King from doing this to other people? How do we
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: discipline Judge King so he knows doing this to people's kids.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Is not a joke.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Let's discuss in the meantime. Please, let Rey mad give
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Judge Kenneth King the biggest he hull.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Hee haw he ha, stupid mother? Are you dumb? Humans

• 7:05
  Speaker 2: She fell asleep, fell asleep a few times and clearly,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: clearly you know she's exhausted. If she fell asleep, they
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: woke her up and she fell asleep again. Like Judge,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: when you're dealing with kids, you need to have a
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: car I think that's the biggest thing that people don't
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: do right with kids.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You gotta have conversation, but they find out what's wrong.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: That's right, That's that's the main thing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Listen, we ain't gonna talk about fall asleep, like we've

• 7:26
