• 1:50
  Speaker 3: because he asked her how she's doing mentally. She told
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: him she took her medicine. Is sending healing inagy to
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the family of Sonya Massy. I will never understand how
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: so many police officers just forget the protect and serve
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: part of their job. There is really nothing I'm gonna
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: say this morning that I haven't said a million times before.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Police officers, you have the power, all of it. You
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: got guns, a badge. This woman had a pot of
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: boiling water. She not thinking about you and lets you
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: an egg, okay, a hot dog, a bag of tea.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: That woman sogna mass He told you, I rebuke you
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. You know why, because she
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: could feel the negativity coming off you, because she felt
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: your energy, she felt your spirit, and she rebuked that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: demon in the name of Jesus, only for you to
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: prove her right by shooting her dead for no damn reason.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: If you feel threatened, tell her to back away from
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the boiling water. If she doesn't comply, then leave. I don't
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: go stand in the yard, sit in the car, call
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: for backup, Send somebody who knows how to de escalate
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the situation.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: If you don't, but to shoot up.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I personally think Sean Grayson should be charged of premeditated murder.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: If you say to me, I'll shoot you in the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: face before you shoot me in the face, that sounds
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: premeditated to me.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Sonya Massey's family is calling for a probe into the
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: hiring of Sean Grayson because they don't understand how he
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: was hired in the first place. He's worked at six
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: different law enforcement agencies in four years.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: He was charged with duy twice.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: It's unclear why Sean Grayson changed jobs so frequently. CNN
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: has reached out to other law enforcement agencies for more information.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think they've got in it yet.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to say, man, I don't know
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: what to do. I study stoicism. If you don't know
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: what stoicism is. It teaches the development of self control
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: as a means of overcoming destructive emotions. It encourages people
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to focus on what they can control and accept what
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: they cannot, leading to emotional resilience and inner strength. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: today's daily stoic was somewhere Someone's dying.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I want to play it for you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It's only like it's less than a minute long, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I don't necessarily agree with all of it, especially when
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: it comes to a situation like Sonya Massey, but I
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: want to play it for y'all and see what y'all think,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: because we're just the community, always trying to figure things
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: out and work all way through things. I just want
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: to know what y'all think it is we talk about
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: it in the room less please.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: A well meaning friend might ask you today, what do
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you think about insert tragedy from the other side of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the world. You and your equally well meaning concern might say,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I just feel awful about it. In this scenario, both
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of you have put aside your reason choice without doing
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a single thing for the victims suffering from the actual tragedy.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It can be so easy to get distracted by, even
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: consumed by horrible news from all over the world. The
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: proper response of the stoic to these events is not
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to not care, but mindless. Meaningless sympathy does very little either,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and comes at the cost of one's own serenity. In
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: most cases, if there is something you can actually do
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to help these suffering people, then yes, the disturbing news
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and your reaction to it has relevance to your reason choice.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: If emoting is the end of your participation, then you
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ought to get back to your own individual duty to yourself,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to your family, to your country.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I see basically what I take from that, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: even though he's talking about something out of the country,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: But basically what I take from that is most of
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the grief about things happening somewhere to someone else you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: is actually hypocrisy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't want that to be the case.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Like when I hear stories like Sonya Massey, I do
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: feel horrible.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Definitely wouldn't want it to be someone in my family,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Definitely wouldn't want it to be a friend that I know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: But I also say to myself, these situations happen, we feel.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Bad, we report on them.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: We go to social media with him, but then what
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: outside of a molding, what are we really doing? This
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: affirmation is also saying that if you can't do anything
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to immediately change the situation, then we should probably move
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: on with our lives.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That is what I completely disagree with, because that's.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: One of the reasons I believe these things keep happening
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: is because so many of us don't do enough.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I just don't know what it is we can do.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Please let Chelsea Chelsea Handler give Sean Grayson the biggest
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: hee haw hee haw hee haw. That is way too much,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Dan Maynez, I just don't know what it is we
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: can do. It feels like every few months we're telling
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: stories like this, Now, what do we do to change it?
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Like I really, truly, I personally have no idea. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: would have to reach out to Tamika Mallory or what
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: are the activists?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Are you know a lawmaker that I know? I don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: know what to do.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And then I've seen the video. It was it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: video servicing. Now when when other cops after he killed her,
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: other cops that came to the scene or whatever and
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: questioned him, and he said she came at him. With
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: the pod of water.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But we know that's not true.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Lying like you know that now you line, we see
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: the video, it's the video.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But that's what I mean. We see videos like this
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: all the time. We know the officers be lying, but
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: what do we do? I feel like we're just telling
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the same story over and over every few months.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: But at this at this point, I feel like police
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: officers have to be held liable in situations like this, right,
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: because what it makes somebody think twice and maybe say,
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: you know what, I might not be as aggressive, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: might not use my firearm in a way that I'm
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: not supposed to as if I have to do jail time,
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: if I if I'm sued, if I'm all at because
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: if you give them immunity, then they feel.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Like they're above the law.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: But if this officer he was what fired immediately, he's
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: probably and hopefully gonna go to jail for a long
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: time because there was no reason to shoot that woman.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: But once again, maybe you're absolutely right. But we've had
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: these conversations a million times. We talked about eliminating qualified immunity.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: How do we make these things apps actually happen. We
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: talked about, you know, getting the George Floyd Policing Act Pass.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: What do we do to press to make this legislature
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: type of legislation happen.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, That's what I want to though.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: I'm just disgusted about the whole thing. He even was like, man,
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: that bitch was crazy, even in the video of them
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: telling him that, I mean him lying on her, saying
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: that she came at him with the water, just the.
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: Way he was talking about her, like, yeah, headshot and
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: the bitch was crazy. Nah, don't don't get the kid,
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: you know, the head shot.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: She's dead. I'll shoot you in the f and face.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Who talks?
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: And then they had to know her, like you said, Charlamage,
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: They asked her this wasn't their first encounter her, because
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: he's are you a came in like she said, she
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: took our mage, you know so.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And even saying to be is crazy afterwards like that
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: lets me know he know you knew her. Yeah.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So I just don't know what we can do.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because everybody's gonna move on except for that family,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: all right, except for the family.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that.
