1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You believe these characters are weirdos.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 2: My name is Nigel Jason Hammer right over there. Hammer.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: Some of you noticed over the weekend and even last

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: week lots of ice protests all over the country regarding

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: what happened in Minneapolis not too long ago. Fishers here,

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: even downtown Monument Circle had one I think Thursday of

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: last week, about three to five hundred strong downtown and

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: Monument Circle. And then we have Fisher's demonstration over this

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: past weekend.

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: I think it was a candlelight vigil that was at

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Holland Park up at Fishers, Okay, and it was organized

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: by the Fishers Resist organization, which I'm surprised you weren't there. Nige.

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: I think you have a membership card to the Fishers

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Resist organization.

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: Right, founding member, one of the founding members.

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: This is a courtesy of CBS four. Here is one

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: of the protesters that was at that Fisher's candlelight vigil.

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: From the perspective of what just happened this week, it's cathartic.

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: Right.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: We are here with other people who care, and it

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: feels good. Okay. So here's where I'm at with this, Okay.

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: I understand people may be upset about what happened, depending

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: on your point of view how you view the video.

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: All right, fine, but where are all the protests and

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: candlelight vigils when people get murdered in Indianapolis every night?

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Damn near? Where was the candlelight vigil and the protest

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: when Chris Beatty was killed during the riots of downtown

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: when he was trying to stop an assault from taking

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: place against somebody, mister Indianapolis. Chris Beatty was killed, was murdered,

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: and I didn't see any protests. If there were, maybe

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I missed it, but I didn't see any protests for

32
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: anything like that or others like his knowledge. What is

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: it about this Minnesota story that warrants people just having

34
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: their hearts broken?

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: I'll see your point and raise you this story. If

36
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: you remember a couple of years ago, the country's first

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: Somali cop killing an innocent white woman just looking for help.

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: I think he was startled. I'm not sure exactly what happened,

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: but there were no protests in the street when that happened.

40
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: He went to prison for I believe two years or

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: something like that, and the Supreme Court overturned it, or

42
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: a judge overturned it or whatever. But there was no protests, demonstrations,

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: candlelight visuals for this innocent woman that was killed by

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: the country's first Somali cop. And that's just another example

45
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: the double standard.

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: So I'm just curious if you went to the candlelight

47
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: vigil in Fishers or maybe here on Monument Circle, what

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: made you go to that? But you somewhat ignore all

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: of the other murders that take place here in our

50
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: backyard here in Indianapolis. Like what happens in Minnesota has

51
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: nothing to do with us here in Indianapolis. Right. We

52
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: talked about this during the riots of twenty twenty. What

53
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: a Minnesota cop does does not mean that an IMPD

54
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: cop is going to do the same thing. You can't

55
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: lump people all into the same category. It's an isolated deal.

56
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: So why do you feel compelled to go out and

57
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: do this? Which, if you do, you've got your right to.

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm legitimately curious. Hit us up on social media,

59

61
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: protest for a Minnesota woman who was Let's be honest,

62
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: there to be an antagonist to ICE, but stay somewhat

63
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: silent when it comes to the every day violence we

64
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: have here in our own backyard. Hit us up Hammer

67
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: as well. Now you may have saw a tweet from

68
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the WIBC newsroom earlier today. The Marion County Adult Detention

69
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: Center in Indy will no longer hold ICE detainees for

70
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: extended periods of time due to overcrowding and budget constraints.

71
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: Nige overcrowding. The place holds like a couple thousand people,

72
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: three thousand, I think three thousand.

73
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the capacity.

74
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: So okay, whatever.

75
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: So I reached out to a local leader. Okay, I

76
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: don't want to say who it was, but a local

77
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: leader tells me this is just politics, trying to get

78
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: money locally at the same time that center holds thousands.

79
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: That's what somebody, off the record, you know, didn't want

80
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: to have their name attached to it told me. So

81
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: take that information for what you will.
