  Speaker 1: Comply. It's that simple. Comply with the officers commands. What
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: am I talking about. I'm talking about this video out
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of Jacksonville, Florida that's been I just saw it for
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the first time, Yesterdavid. Apparently this has already been, you know,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: something they've been dealing with and has been out there
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for a while now. Because the state's attorney general says
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that they have found the officers in question, the deputies
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in question did not violate any criminal laws. There's now
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: an ongoing investigation within the Sheriff's department to see if
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: they have any conduct issues as far as department policies go.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Zach Furs. Have you seen this video?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I think I know which one you're talking about, the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: guy with the long.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Hair, like braided hair, blackmail red hoodie hip sitting in
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: his car. Okay, so did he take a butt whip?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And yes he did, Yes he did. But but here
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Comply with the officers commands.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this to you. You listening right now, Your kids,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: if they are in the car, comply. If you feel
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: like the law enforcement people are out of line, violating
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your civil rights, do it. Whatever file the complaint later,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: file the case later, take it to court later. But
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: in that moment in time, when you have been pulled over,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: comply with the officer's commands, get your ticket and drive
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: away safely. I'm sorry? Is that all that hard to comprehend?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Am I not making? Is my point not being understood?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Should I do it in Mandarin? What do I need
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to do to make clear? All you need to do
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is comply with the officers commands? But no, see, too
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: many people these days want to turn on their cell
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: phone cameras or dash cams or whatever and get on YouTube.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That's what it's about. Doesn't matter if it makes sense
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: or not. They're trying to get their fifteen minutes of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Internet fame, so they turn on them and then they
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: want to argue with the officer. I need to see
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: your supervisor. No, you don't comply with the officer's commands.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Get it over with, leave safely, and file your complaint later.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty five. Do you not think, young black man,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: if you filed a complaint saying that you were inappropriately
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: harassed by the officers pulled over for no reason, blah
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah, blah that some lawyer is not going
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to take your case just to get on the six
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: o'clock news. Of course they will in the meantime turn
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: off the camera and comply, or maybe that's just me
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: A two one nine eight six A two one WTV.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And if you saw that video and your initial response
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: was the officers shut back, I'd love to talk to you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: If your initial response was well, you're an idiot, I'd
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: love to talk to you too, because I'm hoping that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: there will be more of you who see this young
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: man as the idiot than are already ready to hang
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the officers out because you know, there were charges he
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was driving under a suspended license, driving without a seat belt,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: did not have his lights on, as is required by
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: law in the state of Florida. He said, well, it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: not raining, so I don't need them on, and other
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: cars don't have other cars don't have their lights. But
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you're the one that got pulled over. Comply and file
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: your complaint later. Whether you're in Jacksonville, Florida, or Columbus, Ohio,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or drive it through the village of Brice, Comply and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: file your complaint later. Now I'm not saying that the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: officers' motivations were all pure. I don't know, but you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: file the complaint later, take it to court, find out
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I have seen I in fact, I have been part
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of situations like that in the past. Once. I actually
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: sat in the Franklin County Joint down there on Jackson
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Pike overnight because of some ridiculous over zealous deputy. I'm
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: not saying you're wrong. What I'm saying is comply don't
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: be an idiot. In this case, the kid was you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: beaten up, took some good punches, and that officer punching
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: through the window and punching him in the jaw. He
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: was being mouthy, he was being uncooperative. I think that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: particular deputy will finally or eventually face some repercussions for
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: breaking out the window and punching through the window, punching
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this guy in the jaw. It's not like he's gonna,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you know, go to prison for life or anything, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I think he'll probably get a department sanction of some
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: sort because there was no there was no physical altercation
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in progress, and you know, to to send the right
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: fist to the jaw that way, that's that kind of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: thing is probably best reserved for when there is a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: physical situation. But I I don't I don't grasp the want,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the need, the desire of people today to turn on
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the camera and put everything on on YouTube or Facebook
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: or Instagram or whatever instead of just making sense. Could
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you call your supervisor? I want to speak to a supervisor,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: comply and file the complaint later A two one nine
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: eight six A two one WTV And what was your
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: first reaction Zach and honest opinion? When you first saw
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the video? What was your first reaction?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I wasn't sure because the first I saw that I
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: had no subtitles, was like, I just saw cop hit
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a window and then punch the guy and and they
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: were like, show me your hands. I could hear that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And then he went like this and then put them
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: back down and I was like ugh, and they pulled him
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: out and punched them. But then I saw the whole
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: thing and I was like, eh, should have just maybe
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: just got out of the car.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The problem with these videos is they're you know, they're edited,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: so you only see where they want you to see it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You don't see the full exchange. The Sheriff's Department in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville did release the full body cam footage on Monday,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the show beginning to end what exactly had happened, And yes,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it was a bit extreme breaking out the window, But
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: again from the other side of that fence. Would police
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: deal with these days to some degree, I understand a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: bit of zealousness in their efforts to do their job.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: They never know what they're dealing with. And again, this
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: guy was driving on a suspended license, no seat belt,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: headlights weren't on. Oh, in marijuana possession. He had marijuana possession.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't know he's driving on a suspended license. You're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: going to jail anyway if you do that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this is we legal in Florida.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it is down there. Spended license
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: thing is not. Yeah, well that's not gonna work anything. Yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: with all the older folks in Florida, though, I didn't know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: perhaps uh legal marijuana was a recreation or inducal or
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: whatever was was allowed in Florida or not. I'm not sure.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But they cited that possession of marijuana as being one
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of the charges against him, So I have to assume
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it is not legal, at least on a recreational level
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: down there. It is not.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Recreational use of marijuana is not legal in Florida. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: think that you can have medical marijuana. That's it so.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Well with the older population that doesn't surprise me.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And they're the ones who need to be smoking.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of glaucoma going on down right. So the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the idea that this this guy is and unfortunately, you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the media is going to get a hold of this
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna hammer you with it for the next
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: four or five days. I mean you'll get through the week.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Every day you will see this story and probably see
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the video, and there will be a slant to the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: way the story is told to to make the officers
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: look as bad as possible. I'm not excusing them. I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: not saying that they did not do some things inappropriately
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: or over zealously or whatever. What I'm saying is the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: slant that will be put on it will be far
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: more extreme. It's gonna it's gonna it will be made
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to appear like something it is not in order to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: get people outraged. Comply and file the complaint later. That
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: simple Franklin Township, good luck to you. Apparently, according to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the wsy accept six website, the township's going to uh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they're gonna go after another Levey voter support to get
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the ninety three reopen the fire station over there on
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Frank Road. I hope they do get this passed and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: get that fire stad. It's always busy. I mean every
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: time I go down Harrisburg Pike, it seems like that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: fire department is rolling on something. And it's not that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: one ninety two over on Sullivan Avenue isn't also busy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But you know, this is the primary building. The township
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: trustees also also meet there. The police department is there.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I believe all the administrative stuff goes on there. To
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: not have that fire station operating out of there just
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. And in that area of the township
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you have, you know, homes that are on large lots
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and in some larger homes as a matter of fact,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: older homes, lots of wood in the structures. You've got
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a I would say a significant not a majority, but
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a significant population of older folks over there. They are
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: constantly on a run. And it made me very sad
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: when I saw them shut it down last week. It's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: been ten days ago now, but they laid off the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: firefighters that were there, which were five fire fires and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: shut it down. And I'm hoping, I'm hoping that the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: levee is something that the people of the township can
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: manage and they get that place over again. Trustee Blevins said.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: The other trustee decided to place a levy on the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: ballot for November. It's going to be five point nine
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: eight mills, which is an increase of one mill for
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: five years, costing the owner of one hundred thousand dollars
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: home thirty five dollars per year, raising a little more
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: than four million dollars annually. And see, they always say
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that inappropriately it is one hundred one thousand dollars of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: taxable value. Okay, so if you've got the the owner
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: occupant credit, you've got maybe homestead credit or whatever whatever's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: left after all of those credits, as the taxable value
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on the home, if that is one hundred thousand dollars,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it'll cost you thirty five bucks a year. They never
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: really say that as plainly as I think it needs
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to be said. But frankly, I mean for the security
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of having that station open and manned, I'm thirty five
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: bucks a year seems well worth it to me, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I know things are tight. Things are tight for all
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of us. I just got my water bill again today.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Things are tight for all of us. But thirty five
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: dollars a year for one hundred thousand dollars in value,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: so two hundred thousand dollars house, which is going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be fairly common about seventy less than a hundred bucks
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: year basically within the township. And that's a lot of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: peace of mind for one hundred dollars. Or maybe that's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: just me.
