Speaker 1: Time is ten after five. Of course, a lot of

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: people will argue, you haven't had enough time to make

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: the changes, to get the the you know, make a

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: difference in people's lives. Yet certainly that's what people are

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: telling me on the text machine right now. It has

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: just gone ten minutes after five. Bridge Shave It Tally's

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: launched a petition calling for all police officers across the

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: country to wear body cameras while on duty. Comes after

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: the death of a man who was pepper sprayed last

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Sunday trying to flee police. Video went viral on social

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: media and investigation under way at the moment. His family

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: have accused police of attacking him unnecessarily. Dave, tell you

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: the community leaders with us tonight.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: Hi, Dave, hey Ran, Thanks having me.

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: How is your petition going?

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Yes, so far, so good. I think it's almost around

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: ten thousand signatures. And we just got to keep pushing forward,

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: you know, so soon people forget about this, but we can't.

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: We've got to keep pushing.

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: The video looks bad, no denying that, but a lot

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: of people would say, well, you know, you go after

22
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: the police, you wave weapons around. I mean there's going

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: to be consequences.

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean I'm not here to argue that

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: what happened leading up to it, but the fact is

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: there was an excessive use of force. Right. I saw

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: the body today and I'd hate for that to be

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: my son making a mistake and jumping in a cash

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: of It's horrific. The injuries is being literally torn apart

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 2: from from head to toe, and you know, and these

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: these body cams, I mean, it's not just for the

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: safety and the accountability for the public, but it also

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: keeps the police safe. So I mean, it's just it's

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: just a no brainer. There's so many unanswered there's there's

35
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: no one's answering any questions on the family, and it's

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: just it's just such it's i mean, their life was wasted,

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: you know, there's.

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: There's no doubt it's a tragedy and somebody is We

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: don't know how, we don't know what the cause of

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: death was yet all of that stuff. Police were also

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: injured in this, right.

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ron, And look, I don't want to, like I

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: put this petition down and then I quickly put another

44
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: post out on my Facebook saying this is not about

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: bashing the police. We work alongside many great police officers

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: with our work and BBM and also with Grace Foundation

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: as well as Corrections. It's not about bashing the police

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: at all, but it is about like it's just about

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: time we have to have this and the way our

50
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: society is going, I think this is going to be

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: more more regular thing, so it's just something that we

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: have to do, we have to invest in.

53
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: All right, Dave Well, I appreciate you coming on the program.
