6:39
Speaker 1: Good morning man, Get it off your chest, bro Um,
6:42
Speaker 1: I just wanted to vent I'm about that case. If

Speaker 1: It bothers me so much that time and time again
6:49
Speaker 1: we constantly see the same thing and it's like nothing
6:53
Speaker 1: ever changed. You're right, And what really bothers me is
6:58
Speaker 1: every time something like this happened, people want to have
7:01
Speaker 1: a black on black crime conversation, and I just feel
7:04
Speaker 1: like that's real disrespectful, like just the time and place
7:08
Speaker 1: to have that conversation. And when a black person kills
7:11
Speaker 1: a black person, I think that's the time, not when
7:15
Speaker 1: an officer or a white person kills a black person,
7:19
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, Well, we're not gonna
7:20
Speaker 1: let him have a black on black discussion. We're gonna
7:22
Speaker 1: have a discussion about that officer that had his knee
7:26
Speaker 1: in George Floyd's neck, and when people were telling him
7:29
Speaker 1: that he wasn't breathing and people were telling him that
7:31
Speaker 1: his nose was bleeding and he was lifeless, how he
7:35
Speaker 1: continued to push more and just look like just to
7:38
Speaker 1: look on his faces a look that I'll never forget,
7:41
Speaker 1: almost like I'm gonna kill him and what do you
7:44
Speaker 1: want to do? That's the look I'll never forget. Thank
7:46
Speaker 1: you for calling, bro, Hello, who's this? Marcus William Joe
7:50
Speaker 1: and Marcus Now you're from Minneapolis. Yeah, man, I I'm
7:54
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis brom where George I killed. I fel like
7:59
Speaker 1: to the mouth from there. Um it's you know, it's
8:02
Speaker 1: uh we call it the south side of Minneapolis and
8:07
Speaker 1: an area it's always patrol by cops and they'll always
8:11
Speaker 1: be doing that. We have a north side area, we
8:15
Speaker 1: have a south Side area where just go in and
8:17
Speaker 1: they do that to it all day every day. Bro,
8:20
Speaker 1: It's just not there, and it's like we have. I mean,
8:24
Speaker 1: this community in Minnesota is so that I'm white. It's
8:29
Speaker 1: just like you could be on highway and never see
8:32
Speaker 1: a black person. So you have to go into some
8:35
Speaker 1: of these smaller communities of us at least see or something.
8:38
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they just don't care. I mean,
8:42
Speaker 1: I'm a essential worker and I do highway construction work
8:46
Speaker 1: and all of my I'm the only black person and
8:49
Speaker 1: I gotta go there every day and just hear them
8:52
Speaker 1: talk bad about it. Most of these guys don't even
8:55
Speaker 1: live in the city and they don't understand what we
8:58
Speaker 1: go through. So they have these have these projections about
9:02
Speaker 1: it and don't understand what we got how to go
9:05
Speaker 1: through and how we fight. And I think that's how
9:07
Speaker 1: the predominantly white communities around here, they just just from
9:11
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. Man, right, this is and those
9:17
Speaker 1: are the reasons why they treat us out way. It's
9:19
Speaker 1: just they have these ideas about it. We ain't all bad, man,
9:24
Speaker 1: It's just they have these ideas about it that they
9:26
Speaker 1: just make to see way. Well, you know what, you know,
9:29
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you man, them like this is
9:33
Speaker 1: about us town. Bro. We gotta uplift out on man,
9:36
Speaker 1: We gotta uplift each other. We're all brothers. We gotta
9:39
Speaker 1: make sure that we're all good, you know what I mean?
9:41
Speaker 1: And and it has me tearing up right now that
9:45
Speaker 1: you feel that way, like we really got to stand
9:47
Speaker 1: together and on some really like our lives mean something.
9:54
Speaker 1: But feel like right now it's so bad man. They
9:56
Speaker 1: you know, if I go outside the door, what's gonna
9:58
Speaker 1: happen to me today? Man? Like, you know, am I
10:01
Speaker 1: gonna come back home today? You know, I don't know.
10:05
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this? Bro? And you know,
10:09
Speaker 1: you know, I want to say I'm trying to make
10:11
Speaker 1: a change of mind. I was. I say that you're
10:13
Speaker 1: that's true the real estate, um, And you know I'm
10:17
Speaker 1: like They don't see that I was trying to make
10:19
Speaker 1: these changes. They just put us all in one boy, right,
10:23
Speaker 1: and and that's what we have to do. We have
10:24
Speaker 1: to continue to uplift out each other, uplift out brothers,
10:28
Speaker 1: uplift out sisters, continue to teach, continue to push knowledge,
10:31
Speaker 1: and make sure we stand together, and we continue to
10:33
Speaker 1: go out there and protest and civilly unrest is what
10:38
Speaker 1: they call it, to make sure that it's known that
10:40
Speaker 1: we're not gonna take this no more. You're not just
10:42
Speaker 1: gonna take a man's life and just look like it's
10:45

10:47
Speaker 1: we appreciate you. Man in your life means something. Man,
10:49
Speaker 1: love you, brother. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred
10:54
Speaker 1: five eight five, one h five one hit This now
10:56
Speaker 1: was the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. This
11:03
Speaker 1: is your time to get it off your chest. Whether
11:04
Speaker 1: you're man singing from you on the breakfast club, but
11:08
Speaker 1: you got sucked on your mind? Hello, who's this? Hey, envy?
11:13
Speaker 1: What's but it's Tony from South Carolina, Tony gome onring Man.
11:17
Speaker 1: Get it off your chest, bro yo yo um Envy's all.
11:20
Speaker 1: It's all good for people to go in old hands
11:23
Speaker 1: and sing coon by y'all. I love Mike Son, He's
11:26
Speaker 1: one of my favorite rappers. But if you're not going
11:28
Speaker 1: to show give an eye for an eye, nothing's gonna change.
11:32
Speaker 1: And that's what Congress will have meetings and they will
11:34
Speaker 1: change the law. Until then, we could keep on watching
11:37
Speaker 1: in the street singing we shall overcome. Nothing's gonna change until,
11:41
Speaker 1: like Matha met said, we show an eye for an eye.
11:44
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't necessarily I don't know. I
11:45
Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree to go out and just start shooting
11:48
Speaker 1: and killing it hurting people. But I do believe that
11:51
Speaker 1: officers should be charged with murder and he should be fried.
11:55
Speaker 1: He should be fried in the reason being is because
11:58
Speaker 1: if there is no consequence, why is somebody gonna stop.
12:02
Speaker 1: It's kind of like if if my daughter or my
12:05
Speaker 1: son does something at a young age and he does,
12:06
Speaker 1: he gets no punishment, whether it's sit in the corner,
12:09
Speaker 1: whether it's popped on the hand, what's gonna make him
12:12
Speaker 1: stop for doing it next time? But that officer should
12:14
Speaker 1: be charged with murder and he should get the death penalty.
12:17
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. That's what I think that's why people.
12:19
Speaker 1: I think people will start to understand that when you
12:21
Speaker 1: do these things and you and you kill us, there's
12:25
Speaker 1: a punishment, there's a consequence. Let's go to another caller. Hello,
12:29
Speaker 1: who's this James Dalton? Hey, good morning brother, Get it
12:32
Speaker 1: off your chest. Yeah, So I'm just calling to say
12:35
Speaker 1: that I feel that those police officers did murder George,
12:39
Speaker 1: right of course, and you know that's wrong, and my
12:43
Speaker 1: prayers and thoughts to his family and you know everybody
12:46
Speaker 1: else that it's affected by social injustice and you know
12:50
Speaker 1: and all that. But the main point only to get
12:54
Speaker 1: across is you know, the people may have they have
12:56
Speaker 1: every right to protests, right and if they want to
12:59
Speaker 1: bring the community together, they want to bridge that gap
13:02
Speaker 1: between the police forces, UM and the government and the
13:06
Speaker 1: social justice system. M rioting. I don't feel it is
13:10
Speaker 1: the right way, right, Uh, put that passion, put that
13:14
Speaker 1: fire towards peacefully protesting. But you're you're hurting other people
13:20
Speaker 1: in the process, whether it's intentional or not, when you're
13:23
Speaker 1: cause fired or you're actually doing that writing. In my opinion, yeah,
13:28
Speaker 1: I agree. I don't believe in the writing. I don't
13:30
Speaker 1: believe in in in busting up your own neighborhood. Um,
13:33
Speaker 1: I mean at the end of the day, that's that's
13:35
Speaker 1: where we go shop, you know, that's that's our neighborhood.
13:37
Speaker 1: That's where we go to Target, That's where we go
13:39
Speaker 1: get you know, food and launchry detergent. That's where we work,
13:43
Speaker 1: that's where we're employed. So to burn up our own neighborhood,
13:46
Speaker 1: I don't think makes sense. It's and I know people
13:49
Speaker 1: are hurt, people are pissed off, people can't take it anymore.
13:52
Speaker 1: But you know, burning up our own neighborhoods and our
13:54
Speaker 1: own mom and pop stores, I don't. I don't. I
13:57
Speaker 1: don't think makes sense. That's my opinion. All right, get
14:01
Speaker 1: it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five, one
14:03
Speaker 1: oh five one, don't forget. Next hour, we're gonna kick
14:06

16:15
Speaker 1: y'all just having these conversations. I'm gonna be sitting on
16:17
Speaker 1: zooming his meeting when I'm sitting here watching this man
16:19
Speaker 1: getting killed live. Yeah, and y'all just say, y'all don't
16:23
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, you know. And it's and like I
16:26
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, I got five kids, and when
16:30
Speaker 1: I say, my soul is now thinking about I gotta
16:33
Speaker 1: raise my my my young boys, or I got three
16:36
Speaker 1: girls and two boys, even my queen's I gotta raise
16:38
Speaker 1: these kids in this time where where a guy that
16:41
Speaker 1: was was and he wasn't fighting back, like he was
16:46
Speaker 1: detained and I was. I spoke to a couple of
16:49
Speaker 1: officers yesterday and they were like, I'll be honest with you, MV.
16:52
Speaker 1: It was like, once he's in cuffs, ain't really nothing
16:55
Speaker 1: he can do unless he's a karate expert and will
16:58
Speaker 1: kick the issue out of you or or he gonna
17:00
Speaker 1: bite you. He was like, but there's nothing that somebody
17:02
Speaker 1: could do once you in cuff, he's detained, he's on
17:05
Speaker 1: his belly, ain't doing nothing. Your father's a cop, right,
17:09
Speaker 1: he's been retired yet for a while. So when you
17:12
Speaker 1: ask your father about stuff like this, what what does
17:13
Speaker 1: he say? Um? My father says a couple of things.
17:16
Speaker 1: One the first thing he says is the police and
17:18
Speaker 1: not your friends. He says, if you ever get pulled over,
17:21
Speaker 1: remember the police and not your friends. Don't confide in them.
17:24
Speaker 1: They're looking to close their case. They're not your friends.
17:27
Speaker 1: And the second thing he says is, you know, you
17:29
Speaker 1: can never win in the streets. If you if you
17:32
Speaker 1: get into an altercation with the cops, you could never
17:33
Speaker 1: win in the streets. He says. When you come home,
17:35
Speaker 1: you can win, he says, but you can never win
17:38
Speaker 1: in the streets. And that was my mentality always growing
17:41
Speaker 1: up when when it came to police and my dad's
17:43
Speaker 1: a cop, he's been a cop and he was retired
17:45
Speaker 1: after twenty i think five years on the job, and
17:48
Speaker 1: that's what I teach my kids. But watching that, you know,
17:52
Speaker 1: you see exactly what he means. The police aren't your friends.
17:55
Speaker 1: And and you know, next hour we'll talk about what
17:57
Speaker 1: even happened, why the police were even called, and the reason.
18:00
Speaker 1: It's something that could have been called for you, It
18:02
Speaker 1: could have been called for me. Like, well, I'm gonna
18:06
Speaker 1: leave out with this. Yesterday I went and actually installed
18:10
Speaker 1: a rear view like cameras, so like it basically actually
18:12
Speaker 1: record all audio, all video around the car. Even if
18:15
Speaker 1: the key is pulled out the car, it continues to
18:17
Speaker 1: record up to ten minutes. And I just started. That's
18:19
Speaker 1: something that as a black man, or just as a
18:21
Speaker 1: black person that has a vehicle, start putting stuff like
18:24
Speaker 1: that in your car. Man. You know what's what's crazy.
18:26
Speaker 1: I have that put that in my daughter's call. Um.
18:29
Speaker 1: You know my son will drive, but I have that
18:30
Speaker 1: in my daughter's call that that it just records. And
18:33
Speaker 1: if I ever get pulled over, I just leave my
18:35
Speaker 1: phone recording. Um. But like you said, that can be
18:38
Speaker 1: stopped to you know, cop could grab that if word
18:40
Speaker 1: it's come to worst. But I mean just seeing that, man,
18:43
Speaker 1: it really took something out my soul. Man And again,
18:46
Speaker 1: condolences to his family and and thank you for calling Traff.

20:38
Speaker 1: a special guest on the phone lines right now who
20:41
Speaker 1: I love because he's my brother. But every time I
20:44
Speaker 1: speak to him like this, that means something happened. And
20:48
Speaker 1: that's and that's the sad thing. We have Attorney Benjamin
20:50
Speaker 1: Crump on the line. Good morning, an attorney. How's it going, man?
20:53
Speaker 1: And so honored to be with you. I wish it
20:56
Speaker 1: was for a better reason than this. It cost. This
21:00
Speaker 1: reminds me so much of what happened in your hometown.
21:04
Speaker 1: Of New York five years ago with Eric Gardner and
21:07
Speaker 1: I Can't breathe, and now we have I Can't Breathe
21:11
Speaker 1: case again in two twenty dealing with George Floyd. Talk
21:17
Speaker 1: about it. You represent the family of George Floyd. Yes,
21:21
Speaker 1: but now breakdown the facts of what happened. You know,
21:24
Speaker 1: we've been hearing all these different reports. I know what
21:27
Speaker 1: I've seen on that camera. Or breakdown the facts of
21:30
Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah, you know, Envy, it's really clear because
21:35
Speaker 1: we have video. We have what we call aricular proof
21:40
Speaker 1: that nobody has interpreted for us. And when you look
21:43
Speaker 1: at that video, Envy, you don't see him opposing a
21:47
Speaker 1: violent threat to any police officer of anything. In fact,
21:52
Speaker 1: we have been getting a lot of cell phone videos
21:54
Speaker 1: submitted to our office. Businesses have surveillance videos and restaurants.
21:59
Speaker 1: That was the whole picture. And nowhere have we seen
22:03
Speaker 1: where he posed a threat to the police. To justify Envy,
22:08
Speaker 1: the fact that they had him face down and handcuffs
22:13
Speaker 1: and the police officer put his knee in his neck,
22:17
Speaker 1: not for one minute, not for two minutes, not for
22:20
Speaker 1: three minutes, not for four minutes, not for five minutes,
22:23
Speaker 1: not for six minutes, not for seven minutes, not for
22:26
Speaker 1: eight minutes, but for nine minutes, George Floyd is begging
22:32
Speaker 1: for him to take his knee off his necks and
22:35
Speaker 1: I can't breathe. I can't breathe, and the officer offers
22:39
Speaker 1: him no humanity. I mean, you had synthesis out there,
22:43
Speaker 1: envy that were saying, take your knee off his neck.
22:46
Speaker 1: You're gonna kill him. I mean it was the police
22:49
Speaker 1: escalating the situation where the people were not trained in
22:53
Speaker 1: de escalation, was trying to de escalate it. And you
22:57
Speaker 1: watch your heartbroken. And when I talked to America, I
23:02
Speaker 1: tell them take out your cell phones, hit the stop
23:07
Speaker 1: watch for nine minutes and just let the time pass.
23:11
Speaker 1: And as the time passes, think about it. If a
23:14
Speaker 1: person had their knee on your neck and you couldn't breathe,
23:19
Speaker 1: and you kept saying, please take your knee off my
23:22
Speaker 1: neck and you're struggling to breathe, but they don't and
23:25
Speaker 1: you suffocate and die, that you will understand the last
23:31
Speaker 1: nine minutes of George Floyd's life and why it is
23:35
Speaker 1: so tragic and why this is murder. It absolutely is.
23:39
Speaker 1: Now what started the situation, what made the police come, like,
23:44
Speaker 1: what call was that because at first we heard it
23:46
Speaker 1: was scamming. At first they said he was on top
23:48
Speaker 1: of his car. What was that first initial call for?
23:51
Speaker 1: You know, the first initial call for it was allegedly forgery.
23:56
Speaker 1: And as we find out more forgery I was talking
23:59
Speaker 1: about a ten dollars bill may have been fake. So
24:02
Speaker 1: there's no evidence that he ever did anything wrong because
24:06
Speaker 1: they never proved anything about the ten dollars bill was
24:10
Speaker 1: fake or if it was fake, that he would have
24:14
Speaker 1: knew about it. How many people wouldn't know if they
24:17
Speaker 1: had got money and it wasn't real. How many of
24:20
Speaker 1: us are checking money when we get changed from a store.
24:24
Speaker 1: So it's just unbelievable that he was killed because he
24:30
Speaker 1: was accused of a non violent crime. But yet the
24:34
Speaker 1: police came and use excessive leath the force to kill him,
24:39
Speaker 1: which is the lot and be like Eric Gardner when
24:42
Speaker 1: you think about it, selling Lucy's cigarettes, which is a
24:45
Speaker 1: non violent crime. But then the NYPD come and they
24:49
Speaker 1: use excessive leath the force where that brother ends up dead.
24:53
Speaker 1: And now here we are in two twenty and he
24:56
Speaker 1: ends up dead. And I think this is far worse
24:59
Speaker 1: in many regards because the officers on his knee and
25:02
Speaker 1: the public is out there pleading with the police, just
25:06
Speaker 1: take your knee off his neck, Amby. It's such a
25:10
Speaker 1: sad situation, you know, watching that video, and me and
25:13
Speaker 1: my wife watched it together, and I watched them with
25:15
Speaker 1: my sixteen year old son, and we just couldn't understand it,
25:18
Speaker 1: and just to look at that that officer's face, like
25:21
Speaker 1: it was like it's like he got It's like he
25:23
Speaker 1: got a hold on while people were telling him he
25:26
Speaker 1: was killing him, Like it's like his ego got to him.
25:29
Speaker 1: And he just goes sit there like no, I'm gonna
25:31
Speaker 1: keep money on his neck, and I just I just
25:33
Speaker 1: don't under I can't get it. And I heard George screaming,
25:37
Speaker 1: you know, I can't breathe. He was screaming for his mother,
25:41
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm sure you spoke to
25:43
Speaker 1: his mom. What was the family's feeling for watching that,
25:47
Speaker 1: especially his mom? Well and his unfortunately his mother is deceased,
25:51
Speaker 1: and it's so sad that that week was her two
25:57
Speaker 1: year anniversary of her death, and so it was already emotional.
26:01
Speaker 1: And so he had his brothers and sisters and his children.
26:05
Speaker 1: He has two children, two daughters, one six years old,
26:09
Speaker 1: two years old, and he has six brothers and sisters
26:13
Speaker 1: who loved and adored him, and it's just been heartbreaking
26:16
Speaker 1: for them. I mean, they can't even accept it as
26:22
Speaker 1: real because they said George was like a gentle giant.
26:26
Speaker 1: He was all star athlete. He played basketball in high school,
26:32
Speaker 1: they went to the state championship. He played for university
26:35
Speaker 1: in South Florida. He was just somebody who they said
26:40
Speaker 1: you could not not love George. Everybody loved him. He
26:44
Speaker 1: would always keep everybody laughing. He was like so engaging
26:49
Speaker 1: and the people in Minneapolis, everybody says that about this guy,
26:53
Speaker 1: and for them to kill him in this manner when
26:57
Speaker 1: there is no sentilla of evidence that demonstrates that he
27:02
Speaker 1: posed a threat to these police officers. I'm demanding ever
27:06
Speaker 1: for them to release the body cam video. Be transparent.
27:11
Speaker 1: We just saw the video. What how much worse can
27:14
Speaker 1: it be? Release st videos. Let us know what you
27:17
Speaker 1: were saying when you had your knee down there and
27:20
Speaker 1: you notice that he has it's and it's I was
27:24
Speaker 1: told they do that to apply more pressure when you
27:28
Speaker 1: down on the thigh, and so I just think it
27:32
Speaker 1: was deliberate. What these officers were doing because for nine minutes,
27:37
Speaker 1: you can't do something coincidentally for nine minutes. And the
27:41
Speaker 1: fact that at some point when time passes and people
27:46
Speaker 1: are telling you to de escalate and he's saying I
27:49
Speaker 1: can't breathe, you then have intentionally intended to cause harm
27:56
Speaker 1: and pain to him. And so in the law, and
28:00
Speaker 1: you intentionally do something to cause harm or bodily harm.
28:04
Speaker 1: You may not have a meant to kill him, but
28:06
Speaker 1: if he ends up dying, then your actions with approximate
28:11
Speaker 1: cause of his death, and you can't absolutely be charged
28:16
Speaker 1: from murder. And when you look at this video the NBF,
28:19
Speaker 1: it was you were our anybody else, no question, it
28:23
Speaker 1: would be murder. Why are they treating the police like
28:27
Speaker 1: they're above the law. They need to arrest them now
28:29
Speaker 1: and charge them with murder. All right, We got more
28:32
Speaker 1: with Attorney Benjamin Crump when we come back, so don't move.
28:35
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
28:39
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club.
28:43
Speaker 1: We still have on the line, Attorney Benjamin Crump. He
28:46
Speaker 1: represents the family of George Floyd now Charlomagne and on vacation.
28:51
Speaker 1: So Attorney, now, to my understanding, these officers were fired
28:56
Speaker 1: and they're still getting paid and they still have their
28:59
Speaker 1: benefits in We for understand right now they haven't lost
29:04
Speaker 1: their pensions and their benefits, but they haven't clarified that
29:08
Speaker 1: point for a shit. They just said they all terminated.
29:11
Speaker 1: They're apparently in the police union thing. There's a whole
29:14
Speaker 1: process that you have to go through to lose your pension,
29:17
Speaker 1: and so we're gonna keep pressing on that. Now. I
29:20
Speaker 1: was going to ask you, most people don't know that
29:21
Speaker 1: what's the difference between manslaughter and murder? And should they
29:24
Speaker 1: be charged with murder? And can they be charged with murder?
29:28
Speaker 1: They I believe that he could be charged with murder.
29:32
Speaker 1: Kept his knee on his net. Now, lesser included offense
29:36
Speaker 1: of murder is manslaughter, so he can reach for the top,
29:41
Speaker 1: but also include the lesser included, which they do on
29:43
Speaker 1: brothers all the time. They to the top and if
29:46
Speaker 1: they don't get your murder, said, okay, we got manslaughter,
29:50
Speaker 1: we still got you for fifteen to twenty years or
29:52
Speaker 1: whatever the case. And the biggest difference in between murder
29:55
Speaker 1: and manslaughter is the element of intent. It's almost reminds
29:59
Speaker 1: you of mid Aubrey, because you have to have what
30:03
Speaker 1: we call malice of forethought, evil intent, evil will to
30:08
Speaker 1: be convicted of first degree murder. And so in this scenario,
30:13
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you can say he didn't
30:17
Speaker 1: have even intent. When a man is begging you, telling
30:21
Speaker 1: you I can't breathe, I can't breathe, and he says
30:25
Speaker 1: it repeatedly, and you still deliberately don't even ease up.
30:30
Speaker 1: How is that not intention? And you have made a deliberate,
30:34
Speaker 1: conscious decision that you're just gonna not extend him any humanity. Now,
30:40
Speaker 1: we also see the officer wearing his hat says make
30:45
Speaker 1: whites great again? That is that a true picture? I
30:50
Speaker 1: don't know, envy, and so I know there are a
30:53
Speaker 1: lot of people out there who put up fake stuff
30:57
Speaker 1: like this. We until we can absoluteolutely authenticate that, we're
31:02
Speaker 1: probably not gonna affirm that that's him now. Also, they
31:07
Speaker 1: said that he was resisting arrest, right, And we've seen
31:10
Speaker 1: videos come from the store that looked like he was complying.
31:13
Speaker 1: It looked like they walked them over. He was complying.
31:16
Speaker 1: And I spoke to an officer today, a friend of mine,
31:19
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, I'll be honest with you. Envy,
31:22
Speaker 1: he says, once his hands are behind his back and cuffs.
31:26
Speaker 1: There's nothing anybody can really do, they said, unless he's
31:29
Speaker 1: some comful expert and they'll jump up and kick me
31:31
Speaker 1: in my in my head to kill me. He said,
31:33
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, there's nothing he can do.
31:36
Speaker 1: There's no way they should have that much for So
31:38
Speaker 1: was he, from what we know, was he resisting arrest
31:41
Speaker 1: at all? Was he resisting for us? There's nothing that
31:44
Speaker 1: demonstrates to us or anybody I have seen to say
31:47
Speaker 1: that he was resisting arrests. But what I want them
31:51
Speaker 1: to do is to release their body cam videos. I mean,
31:55
Speaker 1: if you want transparency and you want to be a boy,
32:00
Speaker 1: and then go ahead and do the right thing and
32:02
Speaker 1: the right thing literally to let's hear what they were
32:06
Speaker 1: saying when they were down there on his knee, because
32:08
Speaker 1: you know, why are we paying for the body cameras
32:11
Speaker 1: if we can't see what they recorded When there's a controversy,
32:15
Speaker 1: why won't they release it? What's the problem with releasing
32:17
Speaker 1: what's they saying? What? Like, why won't they release it?
32:20
Speaker 1: And you know, it's in every case they always say
32:24
Speaker 1: it's an ongoing investigation. And when they say that, what
32:29
Speaker 1: that tells me they just trying to figure out a
32:31
Speaker 1: way to justify the unjustifiable. Nothing else. Now, when when
32:37
Speaker 1: did they say what are they saying when these officers
32:39
Speaker 1: will we vote up on charges? That they're saying what
32:41
Speaker 1: the next step is? Because they were fired and they
32:43
Speaker 1: fired them fast. But now these officers haven't been charged yet,
32:45
Speaker 1: they're still walking around what's next? They before and they
32:49
Speaker 1: haven't been charged, And we got to continue to demand
32:52
Speaker 1: immediate arrest because the district attorney it shouldn't take that
32:56
Speaker 1: loan to establish that there's probable cause this video to
33:00
Speaker 1: arrest him because every people in our community, they have
33:05
Speaker 1: far less problem with cause than a video. It can
33:09
Speaker 1: justify rest of us every day and twice on spriding.
33:13
Speaker 1: But with police the rules changed and they say, oh,
33:16
Speaker 1: we got the jets to investigate, we got the main shore,
33:18
Speaker 1: we have all the evidence, but you got a video. Man. Now,
33:23
Speaker 1: people are people are upset, people are tired, people are
33:27
Speaker 1: feeling like the only way to change this is by
33:30
Speaker 1: civil unrest. People are tired of peacefully protesting because they
33:34
Speaker 1: feel like that does nothing because they continue to kill us.
33:37
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen it. You know, you were just
33:39
Speaker 1: up here two weeks ago. You know, he was doing
33:42
Speaker 1: what my kids do, running around a neighborhood. You know,
33:45
Speaker 1: somebody thought he was stealing somebody and took the law
33:47
Speaker 1: to their own end and killed him. We've seen it
33:49
Speaker 1: with Eric Garner. We've seen him with so many individuals this.
33:53
Speaker 1: You know, George, what was he doing even even if
33:56
Speaker 1: he had a fake bill. You know how many times
33:58
Speaker 1: I'm a DJ people paid me with the fake built.
34:01
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I created it, That doesn't mean I
34:04
Speaker 1: bought it. That means I got it. Somebody got me
34:06
Speaker 1: to the point where you arrest me and you put
34:08
Speaker 1: your knee on my neck for nine minutes. People are
34:12
Speaker 1: pissed off, and part of my friend people like that,
34:15
Speaker 1: like enough is enough? Like when do we draw the lune? Well,
34:19
Speaker 1: you know, I will say you reference to mad Aubrey.
34:23
Speaker 1: And because the people were outraged, and they turned that
34:27
Speaker 1: outrage to a public outcry, I do believe that's why
34:32
Speaker 1: the whirls of Jestice started going more expeditiously, and so
34:36
Speaker 1: we got the prosecutor to charge the father son murderous duo,
34:41
Speaker 1: and they charged the third person, Robbie, who was doing
34:47
Speaker 1: the video. But that's the people using their voice and
34:51
Speaker 1: a collective, unified manner. And I think with Brianna Taylor Louisville,
34:55
Speaker 1: he had a similar incident where they have now made
34:59
Speaker 1: the police chief designed over that box, no knot warrant
35:02
Speaker 1: what That innocent black woman was killed in her own apartment.
35:06
Speaker 1: And I believe they're gonna be charged because the people
35:10
Speaker 1: are raising their voice. We have to strike a match
35:14
Speaker 1: versus cursing the dark, because we can make things happen.
35:19
Speaker 1: We don't know our strengthen our power Minnesota as long
35:24
Speaker 1: as we keep protesting. And I don't know if you
35:27
Speaker 1: got to go start looting or destroying stuff, but just protesting,
35:32
Speaker 1: disturbing the peace every day, every night, that da that
35:37
Speaker 1: mayor're gonna say we want to restore some kind of
35:40
Speaker 1: calm to our city. All they want us to do
35:43
Speaker 1: is do what we would do in any other case.
35:45
Speaker 1: And so I believe they're gonna charge them, but they
35:49
Speaker 1: just are trying. If they can't get out of it,
35:52
Speaker 1: not charge them. That's why we got to stay on them.
35:55
Speaker 1: And because I'm cautiously optimistic based on what I said
35:58
Speaker 1: in the Rby case, what I see and both of
36:01
Speaker 1: them Joan case what I saw and Corey Jones case
36:05
Speaker 1: where these police officers are getting convicted in their sending
36:08
Speaker 1: them away. But it has to be us, we the
36:12
Speaker 1: people collegively not letting output off their neck. All right,
36:17
Speaker 1: We got more with Attorney Benjamin Crump when we come back,
36:20
Speaker 1: so don't move. It's to Breakfast club. Good morning morning.
36:23
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we
36:27
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast club. Now if he just joined us,
36:30
Speaker 1: we're still speaking with Attorney Benjamin Crump. He represents the
36:33
Speaker 1: family of George Floyd, the individual that was murdered by
36:37
Speaker 1: Minneapolis police. So attorney, Now, for people out there listening
36:41
Speaker 1: that are not in Minneapolis and that want to help,
36:44
Speaker 1: how can we help? You know, what should we do?
36:47
Speaker 1: What do we need to do to make sure we
36:49
Speaker 1: stand together and continue to apply Prussia and to really
36:52
Speaker 1: really help. But I love where Chance the Rapper did
36:55
Speaker 1: in Chicago and people were for a voice, could use
36:58
Speaker 1: their voice to start having rallies in protests, because that
37:02
Speaker 1: gets to Minnesota. Then I know Ludicrous and his wife
37:06
Speaker 1: went on social media and started using their voice to
37:09
Speaker 1: get other people. People who are not black people are
37:13
Speaker 1: saying where are you white good people? Why are you
37:17
Speaker 1: all silent? And the other thing we can do most
37:19
Speaker 1: importantly is keep emailing and calling the district Attorney Mike Freeman,
37:25
Speaker 1: who ultimately who's gonna make the decision whether the charge.
37:28
Speaker 1: His phone number is six one two three four eight
37:32
Speaker 1: five five five zero. And we got a little more
37:36
Speaker 1: to give a little more to okay, six one two
37:39
Speaker 1: mv three four eight five five five zero, and demand
37:44
Speaker 1: justice for George Floyd. And we do have, I believe,
37:48
Speaker 1: acing the whole. The Minnesota Attorney General is a good
37:54
Speaker 1: brother named Keith Ellison. He was a former US congressman.
37:59
Speaker 1: A lot of controversy because they said he supported this
38:04
Speaker 1: brothers too much, was the controversy. But he is a
38:08
Speaker 1: person who has a track record of fighting for our
38:11
Speaker 1: community and uplifting the culture. So if that local DA
38:15
Speaker 1: has a conflict adventure somehow, then Keith Ellis, this African
38:20
Speaker 1: American Attorney General would get to prosecute this case. And
38:25
Speaker 1: so like in Ahmad Aubrey, we got the sister prosecuting
38:29
Speaker 1: the case, then we can have the brother in Minnesota
38:32
Speaker 1: prosecuting the case. And I want to believe anyby like
38:35
Speaker 1: your father and you're a father of a children of color.
38:40
Speaker 1: I want to believe parents who have these positions that
38:43
Speaker 1: have children of color are going to have life experiences
38:47
Speaker 1: that are in common with us, and so they would
38:50
Speaker 1: know how to represent the life of George Floyd, represent
38:54
Speaker 1: the life of Ahmad Aubrey better than some of our
38:57
Speaker 1: white brothers and sisters who have a fish out of
39:00
Speaker 1: the water experience when it comes to trying to thin
39:03
Speaker 1: the honor and the dignity of black people when they're
39:07
Speaker 1: killed versus when they're prosecuting us. They can always assassinate
39:10
Speaker 1: our character and say we be locked up and saw
39:13
Speaker 1: away the key. So that's why I'm cautiously optimistic, keep
39:17
Speaker 1: our voices up, justice for Floyd. Everybody called them Big
39:22
Speaker 1: Floyd and his family, right. And then my last question is,
39:25
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking up the cops and I'm doing
39:27
Speaker 1: my you know, my homework on these cops, and I'm
39:29
Speaker 1: realizing that a couple of them had cases before. I mean,
39:32
Speaker 1: one guy even sued and won some money, and they
39:36
Speaker 1: had cases where it's similar like it seems like they
39:38
Speaker 1: were racist cops due to their past history. I don't
39:41
Speaker 1: know how t is, but looking at their history, it
39:43
Speaker 1: seems like they've been in this rodeo before, absolutely, and
39:47
Speaker 1: they looked like they have a history of a large
39:51
Speaker 1: allegations of excessive points rout. They probably didn't have to
39:57
Speaker 1: black people, yeah, to minorities, and so we didn't have
40:01
Speaker 1: evidence on video of those cases apparently, But on this
40:06
Speaker 1: one here, nobody can look at that video and say
40:10
Speaker 1: that the amount of force they used was not excessive
40:13
Speaker 1: and excessive that led to lethal force. I mean, they're
40:18
Speaker 1: gonna try to say, and this is why we have
40:20
Speaker 1: to have an independent medical examiner coming to us our
40:25
Speaker 1: all topsy after they finished with them, because they're already
40:27
Speaker 1: trying to say what we saw in that video didn't
40:31
Speaker 1: kill him. Nine minutes on that man's yeah, that's well,
40:36
Speaker 1: he wasn't fighting back. He was saying I can't breathe
40:39
Speaker 1: he was he was screaming for his mother. He was
40:41
Speaker 1: saying his stomach, Kurt, please let me up. I'm not resistant.
40:44
Speaker 1: Nine minutes and they saying nast So what was the
40:47
Speaker 1: reason that they say he died? They haven't revealed that. Yeah,
40:51
Speaker 1: they tried to say he had a medical condition. But
40:55
Speaker 1: you know, I'm absolutely certain when i'm other examining to
41:00
Speaker 1: look at it independently with no bias. He's not an
41:05
Speaker 1: employee of the City of Minneapolis. He's not, but it
41:08
Speaker 1: but it with the police. He's going to tell the
41:11
Speaker 1: truth and the unadulterated truth, and once that comes out,
41:15
Speaker 1: I think everybody would be able to use their common
41:18
Speaker 1: sense and say, I don't have to have no medical
41:20
Speaker 1: degree to know that what you did was a proximate
41:24
Speaker 1: cause to his death, because the laws doesn't say it
41:26
Speaker 1: has to be the only cause for the death. It
41:30
Speaker 1: says just a proximate cause for the deal. It contributed
41:34
Speaker 1: to your succession of life. And you know what, you
41:39
Speaker 1: know it's I knew that too, And you know how
41:42
Speaker 1: I knew that. They didn't say he died at the scene.
41:44
Speaker 1: He said he died later on at the hospital. So
41:47
Speaker 1: it felt like they were setting something up like they
41:49
Speaker 1: It felt like they were setting up the same day.
41:51
Speaker 1: Ass yep Ye Attorney Benjamin Crowfe, I appreciate you for
41:55
Speaker 1: checking in, and you know, anytime you're on the front lines,

Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you for checking in
42:54
Speaker 1: and I know it's a hard time right now. And
42:57
Speaker 1: for people that don't know George Floyd, who was killed
43:01
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, was a personal friend of yours.
43:03
Speaker 1: So just tell people you know how you knew George
43:06
Speaker 1: and what type of person he was. For the people
43:09
Speaker 1: that don't know, uh, well, you know, I mean when
43:12
Speaker 1: you come from the upbringers and the surroundings we come from,
43:18
Speaker 1: the difference between a lot of you and your friends
43:20
Speaker 1: as the opportunities we get. Floyd was just as talented
43:24
Speaker 1: as I was. He just han't had the opportunities I got.
43:26
Speaker 1: He was better. He was a double he played two sports,
43:29
Speaker 1: football and basketball. And we met. Florida's is like five
43:33
Speaker 1: years older than me. We met in my tenth eleven
43:36
Speaker 1: grade year in high school. And I was really in
43:39
Speaker 1: the streets and Florida's really in the streets and that's
43:41
Speaker 1: and that's how we met. My friend Tello to us
43:44
Speaker 1: told me a man, Jack I got, I'm bringing my
43:46
Speaker 1: homeboy over here, and y'all look just like y'all might
43:48
Speaker 1: have the same daddy. I'm like here, man. And when
43:51
Speaker 1: we saw each other, man, who was your daddy? Who
43:54
Speaker 1: your daddy? You know, that's that's a kind of conversation
43:56
Speaker 1: we had, and we hit it off to the point
43:59
Speaker 1: where when he got locked up, I took his mom
44:01
Speaker 1: and ran a couple of times. He's probably the only
44:04
Speaker 1: person you know, being successful, You've got a lot of
44:06
Speaker 1: people that call you for things and knowing they don't
44:09
Speaker 1: need it and just abusing your kindness. He's probably one
44:12
Speaker 1: of the very few people in my life. And this
44:14
Speaker 1: is why I hurt so much that genuinely supported me.
44:16
Speaker 1: When he called me. It was for something that he
44:18
Speaker 1: really needed. It wasn't for those shoes, it wasn't for
44:20
Speaker 1: no going out, it was for something he really needed
44:22
Speaker 1: to better his life. And when you have people like
44:26
Speaker 1: that in your life, you want to hold on to him.
44:28
Speaker 1: And that was one of them people. That's why that's
44:29
Speaker 1: why I'm miss most about now. What was your favorite
44:33
Speaker 1: memory of George Floyd? You know? And the reason I
44:35
Speaker 1: asked this is because it's so media compete whatever picture
44:39
Speaker 1: that you really forget that this was a fall, that
44:41
Speaker 1: this was a friend, that this was a worker, that
44:43
Speaker 1: he was a good person, And I'm like, I hate
44:46
Speaker 1: the way sometimes media does things. So what was your
44:49
Speaker 1: your favorite memory of George? Just how even when he
44:53
Speaker 1: didn't have to. When he did have to, when he
44:56
Speaker 1: fell off to he always wanted to be the same person.
44:59
Speaker 1: He wanted to be the protected and provided for everybody,
45:02
Speaker 1: you know, and that was just him. When you from
45:05
Speaker 1: our neighborhoods, Okay, I'm gonna give you a pric example.
45:08
Speaker 1: Neighborhoods all kind of You have four or five neighborhoods
45:11
Speaker 1: and they all get beefing, but you always have one
45:14
Speaker 1: guy that can go to all the neighborhoods and everybody
45:17
Speaker 1: rock with him. Floyd was that guy. He hung with
45:21
Speaker 1: the robbers and jackers, and nobody couldn't stand them, you
45:24
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But Floyd was not involved in
45:26
Speaker 1: that life. So everybody embraced them all around the city.
45:29
Speaker 1: And that's why the city is in Houston. Isn't so
45:31
Speaker 1: upraged right now because Floyd is that He didn't deserve
45:34
Speaker 1: to go out like that. He was in Minnesota, change
45:36
Speaker 1: in his life. He went out there to drive trucks.
45:38
Speaker 1: To the point where I was just telling you, he
45:39
Speaker 1: could have called me for money saying he needed this.
45:41
Speaker 1: He called me for clothes. He didn't ask for no money.
45:44
Speaker 1: He called. He asked for clothes, you know, and like
45:48
Speaker 1: he was better in his life and hast get to
45:50
Speaker 1: the point where he turning that curved to be better
45:52
Speaker 1: and this happened. You know. I just spoke to attorney
45:55
Speaker 1: Benjamin Krump and he was telling me. He was like,
45:57
Speaker 1: you know, they said that the police would call because
46:01
Speaker 1: it was allegedly a fake ten dollar bill. And you
46:06
Speaker 1: look at the video and you say all of that
46:09
Speaker 1: for a ten dollars bil, What was going through your
46:12
Speaker 1: mind when when when you seen seeing that? Because as
46:15
Speaker 1: a father, I'm sitting there and you know, my heart
46:19
Speaker 1: is hurting, and I'm like, I can't believe it. It's
46:20
Speaker 1: almost like you want to be there because you want
46:22
Speaker 1: to just push that cop off from and be like,
46:24
Speaker 1: oh it makes me angry. Do makes me angry? Bro?
46:30
Speaker 1: If they be angry because I know how I move
46:34
Speaker 1: and I show everybody love, man, and I just can't
46:37
Speaker 1: it just hurt that people have that much hate, man.
46:39
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, I get emotional when
46:42
Speaker 1: I see a homeless man on the street that I
46:44
Speaker 1: can't help. That's the type of feelings I have for people,
46:46
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So when I when I
46:47
Speaker 1: see somebody just be so cruel man. And it's to
46:50
Speaker 1: the point, not everywhere I toody to be helpless. We
46:53
Speaker 1: can't do nothing about it. So it's you get so mad, bro.
46:56
Speaker 1: And I worked so hard. I worked so hard I
47:00
Speaker 1: brought to get that cloud over me, what people calling
47:02
Speaker 1: me a thug and all that. I worked hard to
47:05
Speaker 1: get that off me. And as angry as I am,
47:07
Speaker 1: and the thoughts I have, I want to do something crazy,
47:10
Speaker 1: but I'm not because I can't jeoparize everything. But at
47:12
Speaker 1: the same time, I'm gonna use my voice. I'm gonna
47:14
Speaker 1: stand up as much as I can. I'm gonna show
47:16
Speaker 1: up as much as I can. I don't care what's
47:18
Speaker 1: going on, because it's three things that I want to happen.
47:20
Speaker 1: I want my brother's name to stand the way it
47:22
Speaker 1: should be. A lot of times when police do this,
47:26
Speaker 1: they demean your character, they dig up stuff because they
47:28
Speaker 1: really don't know you, to overshadow what has happened. I'm
47:30
Speaker 1: not letting that happened too. He has two beautiful daughters.
47:33
Speaker 1: They dad not here to provide for them. They gotta
47:36
Speaker 1: they gotta take care of those babies. And I know
47:38
Speaker 1: everything I'm I didn't make the NBA All Star Teams.
47:42
Speaker 1: I'm not in the top fifty, but I'm first team
47:43
Speaker 1: all common sense. And I know we're not gonna get
47:46
Speaker 1: the death penalty, but I'm going forward because the only
47:48
Speaker 1: way that they can stop killing us and if they
47:51
Speaker 1: see one of they aren't sitting at the chat and
47:53
Speaker 1: fry for stuff he did and knowing that could be there,
47:56
Speaker 1: we had to see it. The world had to see it.
47:58
Speaker 1: My brother died, They died, the world to see one
48:00
Speaker 1: of them die, that's the only way we're gonna get
48:02
Speaker 1: just And I was gonna ask you that, well, it
48:03
Speaker 1: was justice for you to justices charged for murder and
48:07
Speaker 1: an electric chair. Yes, and and and I can't say
48:12
Speaker 1: this because I'd rather the kids get taken care of
48:15
Speaker 1: and they don't get the electric chair and they just
48:17
Speaker 1: get murdered. They get get murdered. They have to take
48:19
Speaker 1: care of them kids. Their father's not here. And to
48:22
Speaker 1: be honest, the old the older Gig is six year old.
48:24
Speaker 1: She don't even know yet. I just got the phone
48:26
Speaker 1: with her MoMA. She hadn't even told her yet. This
48:28
Speaker 1: is the type of stuff that they got to go through. Damn,
48:31
Speaker 1: And you know it hurt me even more prob when
48:34
Speaker 1: you know, I spoke to Benjamin and Crump and I
48:35
Speaker 1: was like, you know, in the video, which was hard
48:38
Speaker 1: to watch, me and my wife when I say, had
48:40
Speaker 1: pains and crabs because all she could imagine was our kids,
48:44
Speaker 1: our son, our daughter, me And I heard him screaming, mama, right,
48:48
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, how did his mama taken?
48:51
Speaker 1: He was like, his mom's not here. His mom got
48:54
Speaker 1: That's why he was calling them. That's why he was
48:57
Speaker 1: calling them, That's why he was called He was college.
49:01
Speaker 1: I know my brother, he's not gonna make no cry
49:04
Speaker 1: out like that if he's really not in pain, if
49:06
Speaker 1: he's really not scared, right, he's not no scared individual.
49:11
Speaker 1: So for him to cry like that, my boy was
49:13
Speaker 1: really terrified. Man, he was really terrified. I hate the
49:17
Speaker 1: world seeing him like that. But it's one of those
49:20
Speaker 1: things where I get it and I'm sitting it. So
49:21
Speaker 1: how was his family taking it? How was his girls,
49:26
Speaker 1: his brothers and his sisters. How have you spoke to them?
49:28
Speaker 1: How are they dealing with it? And what are they
49:30
Speaker 1: feeling right now at this time? Honestly, envy, you know
49:33
Speaker 1: our relationship, I didn't even know his sisters. I knew,
49:36
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew I knew his daughter's mother. I
49:38
Speaker 1: was real, I know her, you know, and and something.
49:41
Speaker 1: A lot of the homies that's around um and I've
49:44
Speaker 1: been talking to them, you know what I mean. I
49:46
Speaker 1: didn't really have no relationship with his sisters. I had
49:49
Speaker 1: a great relationship with his mom, you know, because I
49:51
Speaker 1: came through for I came through for sometimes. But rest
49:53
Speaker 1: in peace. But I know it's tough. I know it's tough.
49:58
Speaker 1: But at this point, I'm just worried about them babies.
50:01
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna worry about nobody else with them babies.
50:03
Speaker 1: All right. We got more with Stephen Jackson when we
50:05
Speaker 1: come back, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good
50:07
Speaker 1: morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the
50:13
Speaker 1: guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it
50:15
Speaker 1: with x NBA player Stephen Jackson. He was one of
50:18
Speaker 1: George Floyd's closest friends. Now, Stephen, I was talking to
50:22
Speaker 1: Benjamin Crump earlier. He represents the family, of course, and
50:26
Speaker 1: I was telling them that people feel like the only
50:28
Speaker 1: way to make a change so that the police look
50:30
Speaker 1: at as differently, is for civil unrests, not to riot,
50:34
Speaker 1: not to burn down our communities, but more civil unrest
50:38
Speaker 1: because looking at that cop and his eyes as people
50:42
Speaker 1: were telling them that he was killing George Floyd and
50:44
Speaker 1: that his nose was bleeding and he was just lifeless,
50:48
Speaker 1: and it felt like that it turned him on it
50:51
Speaker 1: like gave a hard on where it just its like
50:53
Speaker 1: he enjoyed it. Just looking at his face, he enjoyed it.
50:57
Speaker 1: Hand in his pocket, hand in his And they said
51:00
Speaker 1: the reason his hand was probably in his pocket because
51:03
Speaker 1: he could put more pressure on the stop, more pressure
51:06
Speaker 1: on the stop. And I'm sitting there like that can't
51:09
Speaker 1: be life for us, man, like that can't be life
51:12
Speaker 1: for these young black individuals out there. I can't even
51:14
Speaker 1: say young black because he was at our age, Like
51:17
Speaker 1: that can't be life for us. Because and like I
51:20
Speaker 1: told Attorney Vents, you don't how many fake bills I had.
51:24
Speaker 1: I don't produce bills. I get paid somebody gives me
51:27
Speaker 1: a change. I don't check a ten dollar bill. I
51:30
Speaker 1: don't check a twenty dollars bill. That shouldn't be a citation.
51:34
Speaker 1: Is that happening to a lot of people? And then
51:37
Speaker 1: you say he's resisting the wrest of we had to
51:38
Speaker 1: put them down. The videos I've seen, I didn't see
51:41
Speaker 1: any resistance, you know. That's why I asked, you know
51:44
Speaker 1: what type of person was? And I'm looking at your
51:46
Speaker 1: Instagram and I'm looking at him, and people talk about him,
51:49
Speaker 1: and they said he was a gentle giant, a good dude,
51:52
Speaker 1: change in his life. He went there for work. So
51:54
Speaker 1: it's like, from what I'm seeing and what they're telling me,
51:56
Speaker 1: it doesn't match. And we know he wasn't that. You know,
52:00
Speaker 1: I've always been real with your envy every time. He
52:02
Speaker 1: wasn't that. I know, I know, I know guys like that.
52:05
Speaker 1: He wasn't that. But they're gonna try to pay him
52:07
Speaker 1: out to be he wasn't that. He might have a
52:10
Speaker 1: background or going to jail, but who don't I do.
52:13
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You can't judge somebody out there.
52:15
Speaker 1: You go there to be related, rehabilitated here, rehabilitated themselves,
52:19
Speaker 1: but they not. I'm not gonna let them do that. Bro.
52:21
Speaker 1: Then that's exactly what they're gonna try to do. But
52:23
Speaker 1: that was not that's not him, that's not him, and
52:25
Speaker 1: the video shows who he is. Absolutely, well, Steven, you know,
52:29
Speaker 1: whatever you need from us, we are here. You know,
52:31
Speaker 1: people who can't be on those front lines. You know,
52:34
Speaker 1: we're stuck because we want to know what to do.
52:36
Speaker 1: You know, we're in a situation. We're like, well, how
52:37
Speaker 1: can we help? What do we need to do? How
52:39
Speaker 1: can we be your support system? How can we be
52:41
Speaker 1: the family support system? Because I want to make sure
52:44
Speaker 1: that don't happen to my son, my family, my cousins,
52:47
Speaker 1: you meet, or anybody else like that. Just to look
52:50
Speaker 1: at that that CoP's face was just like, I don't
52:53
Speaker 1: give a and then to see I don't and I
52:55
Speaker 1: don't even know if this is real when I see
52:57
Speaker 1: the hat and the hat said make whites great again.
52:59
Speaker 1: I don't know if that had its real of that picture,
53:01
Speaker 1: but it just sums up who that person was. And
53:04
Speaker 1: did you hear about the history of all the stuff
53:06
Speaker 1: that they've been doing before? Yes? Yes? And why and
53:10
Speaker 1: why is this? Why? Why is it? When? When when
53:14
Speaker 1: they're up and the things they do, all you gotta
53:16
Speaker 1: do is looking at it, and it's common sense, but
53:19
Speaker 1: they scrutinize things that we do and it's not even close.
53:22
Speaker 1: This stuff is right there in black and white. It's
53:25
Speaker 1: come all you have to do and see it and
53:26
Speaker 1: look at this the wrong that they're doing. But they
53:29
Speaker 1: have to trump up some wrong to make us look bad.
53:32
Speaker 1: This is the world we're living in. This is the
53:35
Speaker 1: world we're living in. And this is the world we're
53:37
Speaker 1: living in. Is you have a great athlete, one of
53:41
Speaker 1: the best athletes of all time, that's not guilty for
53:44
Speaker 1: a crime he dies on the first thing you bring
53:46
Speaker 1: up is something he's never been guilty for. This is
53:49
Speaker 1: the world we live in. There you have excused me,
53:51
Speaker 1: but this is the world we live in in b Yeah.
53:55
Speaker 1: And as a father, you know, I got five What
53:59
Speaker 1: do you what do you tell me your daughter? You
54:01
Speaker 1: know what, what do you tell you? You're young? And
54:04
Speaker 1: who goes out there in the world who thinks life
54:06
Speaker 1: is just free? You know because I showed my son
54:09
Speaker 1: to the video my son is sixteen, because I wanted him.
54:11
Speaker 1: I wanted him to see what goes on out there,
54:14
Speaker 1: that it ain't old peaches and cream. You know, you
54:16
Speaker 1: didn't grow up in Queens like I did. And just
54:19
Speaker 1: know that this ain't peaches and cream. Like the police
54:22
Speaker 1: out there that don't give a fun about you and
54:24
Speaker 1: think you're less than than because you're black. But what
54:27
Speaker 1: do you tell your your young queen? You know, it's funny.
54:30
Speaker 1: It's funny you asked that. When I found out how
54:32
Speaker 1: I found out My girls from Minnesota and her mom.
54:36
Speaker 1: We talked about this type of stuff all the time,
54:38
Speaker 1: Like I tell you, I get emotional when I see
54:40
Speaker 1: a homeless person. So we talk about the stuff police
54:42
Speaker 1: been doing for a while. So she sent me the
54:44
Speaker 1: video and it was early in the morning. I would
54:45
Speaker 1: sleeping on the couch with my daughter and not just
54:47
Speaker 1: look at it, and then I look at my other
54:49
Speaker 1: messes and people like, maybe you see what happened to
54:50
Speaker 1: you're twenty Minnesota, And that's when I correlated the messias
54:53
Speaker 1: from her and I jumped up and I screamed, and
54:55
Speaker 1: I started punching stuff. So my daughter, my daughter, and
54:58
Speaker 1: my six year old daughter don't live with me. Her mom.
55:00
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to come pick her up. My daughter was
55:03
Speaker 1: supposed to leave, and as she was leaving, she told
55:05
Speaker 1: her moms to my mum and staying, I think my
55:06
Speaker 1: daddy needs me. I didn't have to tell her nothing.
55:12
Speaker 1: She knew the pain I was in, and she knew
55:15
Speaker 1: why because she heard me talking about it. I think
55:18
Speaker 1: she get it. I think my pain and my tears
55:21
Speaker 1: and her first time hearing me scream out like that,
55:24
Speaker 1: I think it did it. I don't think I need
55:26
Speaker 1: to tell her nothing. And by her knowing that she
55:28
Speaker 1: need to be here with me, I think that was
55:30
Speaker 1: the that was the that that resonated to her. That's
55:32
Speaker 1: all she needed to know that Daddy was in pain
55:34
Speaker 1: and I needed you here. That's all. That's that's the
55:36
Speaker 1: only I didn't have to say nothing to him. You know.
55:39
Speaker 1: And when you say God does things sometimes in mysterious ways,
55:43
Speaker 1: I think God made that happen to make sure you
55:45
Speaker 1: wouldn't do nothing. Crazy. Yeah, because I was balling it.
55:48
Speaker 1: I was bawling. I was bawling and having her here,
55:51
Speaker 1: having my girl he I supposed to from here. I
55:54
Speaker 1: needed that, bro, because I was I was angry, but
55:56
Speaker 1: I know me and it woke up something. It woke
55:59
Speaker 1: up beside of me that I haven't had in me

Speaker 1: Who's this? This is Mike, Mike. Come morning. What you
59:55
Speaker 1: calling from, brother, I'm calling from morning man. What's on
1:00:00
Speaker 1: your mind this morning? Bro? I just wanted to call
1:00:03
Speaker 1: in about this situation that happened when the officer. I'm
1:00:07
Speaker 1: disappointed and uh, first of all, I want to let
1:00:10
Speaker 1: you know that I'm white, and I want to apologize
1:00:12
Speaker 1: to the whole entire black community and population in the
1:00:16
Speaker 1: United States, sisters completely injustice, and uh and uh, I'm disappointed,
1:00:22
Speaker 1: and I just I just don't I want everybody to
1:00:26
Speaker 1: know that all white people are not dis white. Yeah.
1:00:30
Speaker 1: I don't think people think that all white people are
1:00:32
Speaker 1: are this way. I just think that at the time
1:00:34
Speaker 1: like this we need to all stand together and make
1:00:37
Speaker 1: sure that the people at all racists and the police
1:00:39
Speaker 1: officers that are racist, we stand against them. Yes, sir, Yes, sir,
1:00:43
Speaker 1: I fully agree. And I believe this guy should be
1:00:46
Speaker 1: charged with murder because it was plainly that the guy
1:00:49
Speaker 1: was the dude and was fully in control. And and
1:00:54
Speaker 1: I actually think the other guy other officers should be
1:00:57
Speaker 1: a charge with a assistance because he's just stood by
1:01:02
Speaker 1: and watched it. Yeah, I agree with you. I mean
1:01:04
Speaker 1: the fact that you see this officer have his knee
1:01:08
Speaker 1: on George Floyd's neck, and you see him not moving.
1:01:12
Speaker 1: He's not moving, he's not fighting, he's screaming, he can't breathe,
1:01:15
Speaker 1: he has blood coming out his nose. And none of
1:01:17
Speaker 1: those other officers did anything. In my opinion, they were accessories.
1:01:21
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. We're
1:01:23
Speaker 1: just opening up the phone lines. It's just hearing from
1:01:25
Speaker 1: you guys this morning. Let's just get into a positive mix, man.
1:01:28
Speaker 1: I just want to play a couple of songs. Man,
1:01:29
Speaker 1: Why not? Right, it's the Breakfast Club, Good morning finding
1:01:32
Speaker 1: everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We
1:01:36
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. After hearing from Attorney
1:01:40
Speaker 1: Benjamin Crump and Stephen Jackson, we're just opening up the
1:01:43
Speaker 1: phone lines, man, and with everything that's going on, we'd
1:01:45
Speaker 1: just like to hear from you. Hello, who's this. Hey,
1:01:48
Speaker 1: this is Rocklana. What's up? Vrother Brock? What's going on? Brother?
1:01:53
Speaker 1: How you feeling bro Man? Man, one of those fake
1:01:58
Speaker 1: up you're just gonna feel in the world because the
1:02:01
Speaker 1: order and jested that's going on to our people, man
1:02:03
Speaker 1: towards our people, man, and it it's just one of
1:02:06
Speaker 1: those things. But what I wanted to say if he
1:02:08
Speaker 1: was man, we need more black leaders like the leaders
1:02:12
Speaker 1: that we have back in the day, The Monitor Day,
1:02:14
Speaker 1: Michael Mexic The Monitor Day, mont Luca King, Julius. We
1:02:17
Speaker 1: need leaders like that in today's society to push another
1:02:21
Speaker 1: to help fight for us man, because I think the
1:02:23
Speaker 1: problem was going on in the world today. There's no
1:02:26
Speaker 1: leaders out here to stand up to the cruelty that
1:02:29
Speaker 1: being back for our people. We have all these voices,
1:02:32
Speaker 1: more voices now that we ever have the history of
1:02:35
Speaker 1: our existence. Yeah, and still nobody is really standing up
1:02:40
Speaker 1: and going out there and c need these these groups movement,
1:02:44
Speaker 1: the people that's going to stand up for the fights
1:02:45
Speaker 1: of black people in our These folks get away what
1:02:49
Speaker 1: they get away with because they want there's no leadership.
1:02:51
Speaker 1: We need leadership to help stop what's going on. I
1:02:55
Speaker 1: believe that because if this was in the era of Mortain,
1:02:59
Speaker 1: Luca King, Julia or Malcolm Max, do you realize the
1:03:03
Speaker 1: up war and the unitement for the Black Pool. They
1:03:06
Speaker 1: weren't staying for the stuff that that's going on right now.
1:03:09
Speaker 1: And I think that they have been us. So we
1:03:11
Speaker 1: nice society that we don't even see that we need
1:03:15
Speaker 1: leading ship. We need a leader to step up pushing
1:03:18
Speaker 1: these in the stand up for people because this is
1:03:20
Speaker 1: not white. They choose us every single day. And with
1:03:23
Speaker 1: the ladies, the healthcare workers, savors lines. They killed her
1:03:27
Speaker 1: for no reason. Now I'm back man, Julian boy, wasn't
1:03:30
Speaker 1: nothing attend I feel or faith or faith out a
1:03:35
Speaker 1: bill man. Yeah, you're right. I mean there are a
1:03:39
Speaker 1: lot of leaders out there, you know, of course you can.
1:03:41
Speaker 1: You can say the minister, there's so many people on
1:03:44
Speaker 1: the front lines. I mean, we can talk about Tamika Mallory,
1:03:48
Speaker 1: we could talk about my song, we could talk about
1:03:50
Speaker 1: Stacy Avans, Bernie's King. There's a lot of black leaders,
1:03:53
Speaker 1: but you're talking about on the front lines, and yeah,
1:03:55
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think there should be a
1:03:58
Speaker 1: lot more young black leaders. You got the Black Lives
1:04:01
Speaker 1: Matter movement. There are a lot of people out there
1:04:03
Speaker 1: on the front lines. But I think we need more.
1:04:05
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many things going on. You got
1:04:07
Speaker 1: Attorney Benjamin crumped Us out there fighting his ass off,
1:04:10
Speaker 1: and we appreciate everybody out there on the front lines
1:04:12
Speaker 1: that's continue to fight. Hello, who's this this? Terrence whatever?
1:04:16
Speaker 1: Man from Detroit? Down hand? Vir Jaila? What up? Man?
1:04:19
Speaker 1: What up? Though? What's going on? Brother? But if I
1:04:21
Speaker 1: was saying it's so sad, I want us to focus
1:04:23
Speaker 1: on convictions. We can focus on getting somebody pieces the
1:04:26
Speaker 1: convicted for killing our brothers and sisters. If they get
1:04:28
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of time, they get ten fifteen
1:04:30
Speaker 1: years when they officers, you know, if you're doing the killing.
1:04:33
Speaker 1: If they get convicted, once they get jail, go to jail.
1:04:35
Speaker 1: That jail house justice is something beautiful thing. And I'm
1:04:39
Speaker 1: telling you, when you go to the compound in the
1:04:41
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent reckyard, black people looking at you, what hatreds?
1:04:44
Speaker 1: Once you get to one of their brothers and sisters.
1:04:46
Speaker 1: Let them survive that. I hope they don't. They get
1:04:48
Speaker 1: sweet once they go there and once they think, you know,
1:04:51
Speaker 1: that'll change somebody line, you know. I see, I really
1:04:54
Speaker 1: believe in like see, I believe in the death penalty
1:04:57
Speaker 1: in situations like this. You I mean, when when when
1:05:00
Speaker 1: you kill somebody like that that wasn't fighting back, that
1:05:04
Speaker 1: was telling you he can't breathe. That you know everybody
1:05:07
Speaker 1: around you was telling you that he couldn't breathe, and
1:05:09
Speaker 1: that nose was coming at mean, blood was coming out
1:05:11
Speaker 1: of his nose, and you continue to keep your knee
1:05:14
Speaker 1: on his neck, not for ten seconds, not for thirty seconds,
1:05:17
Speaker 1: for minutes at a time. Now, now he doesn't deserve
1:05:21
Speaker 1: to get the death penalty. He doesn't deserve for the
1:05:23
Speaker 1: world to see him lose his life like we see
1:05:27
Speaker 1: that father lose his life, like we shouldn't see the kids,
1:05:31
Speaker 1: the kid see this stuff. You know that we don't
1:05:33
Speaker 1: do this to them. So that jail how is justice
1:05:34
Speaker 1: even they don't get him the death penalty, That jail
1:05:36
Speaker 1: hall is justice is the same thing man that brun
1:05:39
Speaker 1: stick treatment and all that nonsince they go through them.
1:05:41
Speaker 1: Guys go to prison, they get torture for years. Anybody,
1:05:45
Speaker 1: you know, if you know a brother, he'll be he'll
1:05:47
Speaker 1: be in in a in a protective unit somewhere where
1:05:50
Speaker 1: he probably wanted to see anybody. There's so many different ways.
1:05:53
Speaker 1: But I mean, I feel like he took that man's
1:05:56
Speaker 1: life and there was no accident. It was no ups
1:05:59
Speaker 1: and non no, it was a mistake. He took that
1:06:01

1:06:04
Speaker 1: until it comes out. That's my dad told me to say,
