Me, what's going on, mister Lennon, Bryan Blessing, 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.799 Holly Favorite Boycott, Black Murder? You know, feeling good? Cut? 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:27.600 Shout out to Bodo, my barber. You know Bio the barber. Yes, 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.480 Bio is more than a barber. He's here, my friend, 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:34.239 my brother. What he happens to be my Bob? I 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.240 don't know, y'all. You know, we we as women talk 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:41.920 a lot about our hair stylist. But Barbara's matter, Oh yeah, yeah, 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.599 matter man. You an't got got to get you a 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.559 fresh line, you know what I'm saying. Thing got to 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.640 be right. You know, if y'all, if y'all there listen 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.199 to our house, you'll get to see how sharp this is. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:58.520 But it's thing. Well, let's talk about some of these 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.240 news stories because we had a full show for today, 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.319 and our guests that's coming up really deserves time and 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:14.080 attention to unravel American the American justice system and injustice system. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.200 That's a perfect way to say so. The Mexico kidnapping. 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:24.280 I just saw that Mexico has now most people know 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:29.280 about this for individuals, one woman and three men got 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:35.200 in the car, drove through South Carolina obviously to Texas, 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.840 across the border into Mexico, and when they got on 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.720 the other side, as soon as they got into Mexico, 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.200 they were caught in the middle of a crossfire. There 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.320 was some kind of shootout taking place, and the cartel 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.360 pull stop them. Someone in there entourage was shot one 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.920 of the guys, and then they made all of them 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.960 get out of the event, put them in the back 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:04.320 of a pickup chuck truck, kidnapped them, obviously killed another 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:09.399 person that was in that group, and the finally the 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.880 Mexican government found them. Of course, you know, they have 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.000 their ears to the streets, where as we all know, 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.840 within the Mexican government there are members of or closely 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:24.760 aligned cartel members, and so they were able to find them, 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.280 and then they returned to people who are who are 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:35.560 the remaining survivors. But now they have arrested and detained 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.320 five of those individuals that they feel, you know, are 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.280 involved with this situation, that they know are involved, and 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.280 they issued an apology to America and sent now for 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:51.440 you know, extradition and prosecution these individuals to the States. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.400 I don't know if they sent them already, but they 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:59.200 said they will, so that is what's happening in that case. Obviously, 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.640 when we think about Chanquela Robinson, we want to see 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.160 the same type of energy. And by the way, the 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.960 Mexican government is saying that they're ready, that all they 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.320 need is for us to send the first person, who 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.680 we believe to be Dejean A. Jackson, send her to 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:22.360 Mexico for prosecution. They've now changed the charge from femicide 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.760 to homicide to make sure that it aligns with the 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:30.200 American charges, so that if America decides that, you know what, 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.680 we don't want to send them back. What we prefer 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.040 to do is take jurisdiction and try the case here 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.800 with the Mexico's support. Mexico wants. They're like, whatever you 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.960 want to do. Obviously, with a country that is it's 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.960 not as rich in resources as America, they don't mind 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.680 allowing America to use its resources to try this case. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.200 So it's it's up to us now, you know, it's 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.320 up to the United States government to move forward. Just 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.600 like we see swift action with these individuals, which we 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.120 want to see that, hoping that we will see the same, 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.400 you know, for Shanquala Robinson. Yes, man, we definitely need 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.440 justice Rush and Quella Robinson. And it's just a lot 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.400 going on in Mexico. A friend of mines man that 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.520 I grew up with since like second grade, was murdered 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.359 in Mexico last week. It was just and I just 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.560 keep hearing these things. So Mexico. I don't know what 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.680 y'all got going on over there, man, but you'll want 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.359 to You're gonna have to tell you not man, because 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.240 they are there taking them down out there. Man. But 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.480 you know, the reality is if you look at um, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:42.159 you know, here in the US, people are being murdered also, right. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.320 It's just that Mexico is smaller, and it ends up 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.960 being that it touches people that we know, right, or 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.159 people that's close to somebody, you know, because it's so small. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.040 But in the US, every day the murder rates are up, 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.800 all types of murder rates, not just you know, violence 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:07.000 in communities, but racial violence, just all types domestic violence. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.920 It's all up. And so we're dealing with a violent society, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:16.120 a violent world. And until we do something about poverty 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.720 and mental health and all those challenges. You're gonna see 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.120 even more, and you know, I hate to say that, 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.880 but I think we will. So last week, you and 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:31.200 Attorney Angelo Pinto, the one of the four co founders 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:36.760 of Until Freedom, attended a rally which was a big rally, 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.920 a very spirited rally for a brother by the name 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:45.560 of Naji Seabrooks, who was a violence interrupter in Patterson, 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.000 New Jersey that was shot and killed by police. Now 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.880 I'm told that police sat with him for at least 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.200 two hours, or at least they were in the area. 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.480 They knew he was having some type of crisis and breakdown, 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.920 which by the way, is very possible for people who 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.360 are doing this work. Oftentimes you find out all different 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.200 types of reasons why people have been brought to this work, 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.760 and once they get in it, that doesn't mean that 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.560 the traumas that they've been dealing with go away. And 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:20.960 so he was, you know, a violence interrupted working with 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.919 the Patterson Collective, an organization out there doing good work, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:30.840 and there has so many violence and police accountability partners 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.760 that we have organizations that work with this brother. They 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.279 know and respect him and somewhere, you know, during this 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.800 time that police were dealing with him. You know, after 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.920 a certain amount of time, they say that he had 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.560 a knife. This is what I heard through the grape vine. Yeah, 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.000 allegedly that he had a knife and the officers shot him. 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.960 I mean, I don't know, you maybe have some insight, uh, 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.080 you know, I never met the brother, but you know 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.599 when I went out there and we were you know, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.440 just trying to help and try to bring some awareness 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.760 and lend out voices out there with him that day, 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.640 I met a lot of people, and the way they 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.920 spoke of him is that he was really loved in 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.560 his community, that he was one of those people who 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.560 you can call on, you can trust. He has a 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.640 large family. A lot of his family is actually in 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.480 law enforcement, so a lot of people know him. He 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.040 was well known in the community. And you know, he 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.560 was having they said he was having some type of 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.520 mental issue. And I heard that they was out there 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.320 with him for about four hours, you know, and a 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.440 lot of the violence interrupters said wanting to go in, 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.120 and the police wouldn't allow them to deal with them 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.400 himself inside and then you know, allegedly he ran out 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.760 with a knife. You know, and I say this all 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.240 the time, Man, I don't. I don't. I don't believe 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.800 of a mental patient, somebody dealing with a mental breakdown, 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.240 mental health with a knife should be killed. I believe 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.600 that there has to be a strategy that has because 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.880 I am not a paid police officer, I don't get 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.280 paid to do this work. And me myself, I can 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.960 disarm somebody with a name, I can, I believe, So me, 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.000 just me by myself. I'm not care enough to try 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.520 to do that before I killed, right, And and we 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.920 keep seeing these same situations with police officers or shooting 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.319 people with niles and then shooting it killed. You know, 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.679 to me, it just it just doesn't make sense. It's 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.040 not humane. You know, it violates your human rights. And 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.280 you know this, this poor brother should still be here man, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.680 So my condoless to his family. You know, justice for Nagi. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.319 You know, they had a like you said, there was 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.960 a big rally outside of the Patterson City Hall. Then 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.760 while we're rallying, they had a meeting with the government 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.920 issues inside the city hall. You know, I didn't get 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.920 to see all those because they wouldn't allow most of 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:09.199 us to go inside. They only allowed about fifty to 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:13.080 sixty people to go in. But you know, we're still 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:17.440 working with the Patterson Collective and all other organizations that's 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.400 fighting to get justice for Nagi. So you know, we 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.360 will keep you updated hopefully. You know, we still have demands. 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.120 You know, I heard that the officers were put on 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.720 they were suspended and you know, put on put on leave. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.000 And I also heard that they're trying to get the 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.520 body cams. So we have demands. They want the body camera, 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.600 they want the names of the officers, release those things. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.920 I still don't believe have been done yet. But right, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.080 that's right. We're here to support the Patterson community and 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:54.640 the organizations there. M I. You know, I was saying, 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.800 I don't know, because I don't even have commentary for 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.800 all of this anymore. It's just so much, you know. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.520 And I remember talking to a police chief one day 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.640 and I was at you know, I was asking in 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:11.240 a situation where mentally disturbed individual had a knife and 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.920 was like running around wielding the knife, and I asked, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.400 what would you do here in this situation? He said, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.719 how would get out his way? I get out of 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.000 his way. We would surround him, but get out his 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.800 way and figure out a tactic for being able to 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.200 take him down that doesn't include having to shoot him 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.040 to day. And the thing is they have them. I've 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.640 seen that. I've seen them do it for black people 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.760 and white people, on all types of people. I can't 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.000 see him and say only one group. I've seen them 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.720 use that strategy. But you know they and you know 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.720 what the bottom line is, when the police know who 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.720 you are and they know they knew him right he's 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.600 in the community, you can't see him and tell me 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.240 nobody knew him. They did know him. When the police 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.679 know you and these things happened, it begs the question 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.080 whether or not they were glad or not glad. Let's 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.560 not say that, but that you know you were taking 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:09.240 out with intention. We don't know. Speaking of police, our 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.800 brother Trade the Truth as we affectionately called Brow. Brow 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.920 was traveling back to Houston last week when he was 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:24.239 approached by the Narcotics Force Task Force at the airport 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.800 and they harassed him, which he caught it all on video, 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.760 and they went through his bag slightly, but I think 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.760 at the point that they began to go through his 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.520 bag with the video camera out, and also the way 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.000 that Trade was communicating with them. They knew that they 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.520 had overstepped. He said that first they threw a ball, 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.440 like some kind of toy or something towards his bag 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.120 to allow the dog to kind of go over this. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.560 So it's all a form of entrapment. They're trying to 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.600 see whether he's bringing something back. They threw this ball, 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.760 the dog goes over. Somehow, they say the dog gave 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.200 them an indication that there may be something in the bag. Now, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.000 let me tell you why I think this is. Really 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:14.320 it's an important conversation because I remember a few weeks 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:20.520 ago when Gilly Gillian Walla were traveling and Gilly was 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.600 pulled to the side and they went through all his 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.040 stuff and accused him of potentially carrying drugs, at which 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.840 he didn't have anything. So I'm wondering and would love 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:35.119 to hear from people black folks particularly who are traveling. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.160 And it seems like a lot of black men who 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.600 are traveling who looked like they probably have resources. Maybe 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.040 they got on expensive clothes and or jury. Maybe it's 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.080 just that they're known and you know, somehow, another the 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:53.480 word gets out based upon the manifesto. The manifesto which 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.200 is the flight that they know who's on the plane, right, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.040 maybe somehow that's getting out and that's why these narcotics 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.080 agents are meeting our people at the airport. So I 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.000 just want to hear from folks who are listening if 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.079 this is something that you know about that's happening, Because 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.839 if it happens to Gilly and then it's and then 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.200 now we see it happening to trade. You know, where 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.679 there's smoke, there's fire, So it seems to me that 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:24.120 there's potentially more than what we know happening to our 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.920 people who are traveling. Traveling has become a very it 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.600 probably always been has been this way, but it's become 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.640 really a lot of like bullshit, a lot of racism 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.319 and throwing people off planes, and then you got crazy 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.640 people on planes doing wild shit. It's a lot going 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.240 on in the air I mean, it's a lot. You know, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.760 we we we've experienced you know that firsthand, so we 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.000 know all about that. And the fact that the way 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.240 that we travel, we are constantly you know, face with 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.880 little things. You know, we faced like you were talking 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.440 about the woman who was talking about your hair and 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.760 that was a thing for her. You know, this this 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.240 Asian woman who like it was very very weird, you know, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.360 and we always and then you meet people who just 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.160 got bad attitudes. You know, they don't they don't really 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.400 want to be there. They don't think you should be there, 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.800 you know, especially in you in first class, a lot 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.880 of them look at you a certain way. But then 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:23.600 there are some good ones. Oh great, we need great 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.160 flight attendants. I have to say that, especially on Delta, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.600 I have met amazing flight attendants. And even though I 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.920 do not support any of what has happened from us 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:42.320 to uh Reverend Barber who had an issue on American airlines. 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.000 Our sister I venture a Gray, she had an issue 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.640 on American airlines. And now we know Tyler Quale, we 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:54.200 know Shicari Richardson, we know Odell Beckham. I mean, the 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:59.400 list goes the people who have dealt with discrimination what 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.960 we believe to be discrimination on American airlines. So I 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.960 don't support that at all, but I will say that 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.120 now there are many I've met many flight attendants, gay agents, 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.080 ticket agents and you know, and others who work for 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.320 American airlines and all the airlines that are really good people. 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.520 They're super cool. But there are just like in any 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:27.960 other industry, there are bad apples. There are people. There 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.800 are people who do wrong. There are people who are racist, 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.400 There are people who are disrespectful. They are people who 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.080 hate their job, they hate their husband, they hate their lives, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.280 they hate everything about themselves, and they bring it to 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.800 work and they infringe upon other people because they know 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.160 that the power to either throw someone off the plane, 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.480 call the police on people, or just do whatever they 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.760 want to do to inconvenience you and to set you up. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.240 They know they have the power to do that. And 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.520 so yes, there has to be a balance, because I 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.720 just saw all the other day a man tried to 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.920 stab a flight attendant, and you know, while he was 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.240 trying to open the exit door, he was clearly unstable. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.280 You could hear it in the ranting and the things 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:14.160 that he was saying. He was unstable. However, you still, 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.240 even when balancing those types of things, you cannot um 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:24.720 lean on discrimination. And also you cannot allow people to 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.680 hide behind those incidents where they are hiding their races 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.200 and their sexism and whatever, and just the fact that 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.920 they just can't believe that some of us have the 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.560 resources to fly, have the resources to be in first class. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.000 So no, it's some bullshit. That's how I shout out 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.480 to Trade, you know, and Trades one of the most humblest, coolest, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.040 quietest guys. When you when you piss him off, you know, 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.520 it's a whole different trade man. And he was. He 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.120 was very he was very um calm. He asked the 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.360 questions that he needed to ask, and that's when they 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.800 I think they realized they fucked up because he was 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.160 He didn't overreact, he didn't give them no reason to say. 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.399 He just wanted them to know that he knew that 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.840 they was doing some bullshit. So you know, hopefully you know, 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:13.400 Trade gets some some get some type of goal closure 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.119 behind that told him to reach out, you know, right 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.359 these people up. Let them know that you've been profiled. Yeah, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.560 that's right. He was profiled. He was definitely profiled man. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.600 And I would love to hear from some white folks 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.919 if people are out there like, oh, no, you know 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.240 my boss and my sons, so they're white people, that 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.119 this happens to them, you know, because I'm starting to 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:33.920 see this a little bit of a trend. And it's 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.040 not the first time that I think it happened to Gillie. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:43.000 So he's two or three times. Yeah, he smoked weed. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.960 Often trade doesn't at all, but Gilli smokes weeds, so 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.800 the weed and NY on him. But no, that's not 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.800 that's not that's that's not how things should go. Yes, 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.560 of course, if they feel something that's in your bag. 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.280 You know, we're not saying that they shouldn't be able 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.160 to pull people to the side. But I've smelt all 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:07.000 kinds of things on people. I have had situations where 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:12.000 I'm standing in line with a white person or a 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.960 white woman. Actually it happened to me one day. And 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.480 by the way, not just drugs. I saw a white 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:24.480 woman in the airport smack pissy drunk. Yeah, steal that 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.959 on the flight. But I know black people that get 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:32.280 escorted from away from the He was just tired, kicked 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.439 him out. I'm just saying and everything. No, it doesn't 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.480 have to be about race, but certainly we need to. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.240 We need some answers on what it's about so we 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.120 can understand. So for my thought of the day today, 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.560 I want to talk quickly about the report that has 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:53.480 come down in Louisville, Kentucky regarding what they found, um, 0:18:53.840 --> 0:19:01.359 you know, in relation to the police department there, all 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:05.880 the civil rights violations that the Department of Justice has 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:11.960 found in Kentucky and in Louisville, specifically LMPD, the Louisville 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.680 Metro Police Department, which we lived under for four months 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:19.119 and watched them. We watched them commit crimes, we watched 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.919 their corruption, we watched them, I mean just everything we watched. 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.040 We watched them, and their behavior was so much aligned 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.720 with the reason why we were there in the first place, 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.560 because of Brianna Taylor and then David mccabee, and there's 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.000 been so many others where we know for sure that 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:43.480 the Louisville Metro Police Department has engaged in illegal practices 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.440 that violates the rights, the civil rights and yeah, the 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:51.760 civil and human rights of its citizens. And it's a 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.280 lot to be said about the report. People should check 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.959 it out. We're so far past discussing it and deliberating 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.159 over it because we been saying it. We've been saying 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.760 that people needed to look into what's happening there. And 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.440 because we moved to Kentucky and until Freedom along with 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.600 all our partners and others and the movement the local community, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.679 because of the summer of unrest, it forced the federal 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.800 government to have to look at Louisville. They weren't gonna 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.480 do it. So when people talk about old protesting doesn't 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:27.480 mean anything and it doesn't matter, it is exactly because 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.960 of the protest movement of twenty twenty that we are 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.760 able to see violation or charges first of all against officers, 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:41.640 and now violations being brought to the forefront in terms 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.159 of what they have done to the citizens there. So 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.160 in my thought of the day, here's what I want 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:50.120 to say. I'm trying to figure out what happens when 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.439 a police department. And I get it, the Consent Decree 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:58.320 has now come down where the federal government has reforms 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.000 that they are now saying to be addressed by the 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.480 Louisville Metro Police Department, and if not, they have remedies 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:08.920 and measures that they will take to monitor and not 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:13.240 just monitor and or chastise, punish or whatever. So I 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.760 get it. I understand that. But what I'm saying is 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:20.040 that when the citizens are in danger today because the 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.240 same police or you don't just tell them, oh, we 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.400 have all of these findings and they just stop doing 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:30.400 the bullshit. That is not how it works. By the way, today, 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.879 the FOP, the Fraternal Order of Police and the fucking 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:38.080 gangs that exist within law enforcement in this country. They 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.119 are going crazy about the report that came out from 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.520 the Department of Justice. They're going crazy, they are. It's 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.080 racist shit going on on Twitter, which I don't go 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.920 in there, but I've been sent several screenshots. People are 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.480 starting to get death threats, all the shit that happens 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.960 every time they are held accountable. So you think that 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.040 they're going back to work and they're just gonna do 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.480 the right thing. No, they're waiting for the ship to 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.239 pass where they can get away with it like they 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.200 always do. So the question is, what the fuck do 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.199 we do when you know people's lives are in danger today? 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.239 Do you it needs to be some damn receivership. They 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.880 should be shut down, ain't no damn police department. It's 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.840 a game. The reality of the situation though, to me, 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:22.640 because is that most systems of police run the same 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:26.120 way that LMPD does. That's the fact nobody is doing 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.000 the research right. Like you said, we had to go 0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.080 there through this whole summer unrest, and we had to 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.119 shine a light along with a lot of the activists 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.320 in Louisville alongside of them who were protesting out there, 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.440 who were getting arrested, who were being abused, who when 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:44.200 they forced people to look into what was going on Louisville. 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.960 But who is looking into all the other countries, I 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.680 mean all the other cities and states around the nation 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.240 that are doing the same exact thing. So what I 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:56.000 suggest that now that we see what's going on in Louisville, 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.680 after people have been telling you, look into a lot 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.639 of all these other police and they have them. I 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:04.520 have to give Kristen Clark, the head of the Civil 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.560 Rights Division for the Department of Justice, a black woman 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.280 who comes out of the movement. She is a fair person. 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.800 She's not some every ship. Sometimes I'm like, hey, what's 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.680 going on with such a such case, She's like, there's 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:18.639 no there there, like I don't see it, right, So 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.320 she's not somebody that's in there like, oh, I'm gonna 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:25.280 just charge any and everybody. Sometimes they say no. Sometimes 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.200 their department is not even willing. It's certain I want 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.160 them that, I want them to charge all the right 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.680 and so they're not able to do that. They're not 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:36.520 even that's not who they are. They're fair or she 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.760 is fair, and her department that she is leading is 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:44.480 attempting to be fair. So truth is truth. Facts are facts. 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:46.800 If you look at the report of what it says 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:50.800 about the things they found, you read somebody, And if 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.480 you take that report and put it next to what 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:58.200 happened to Brianna Taylor entering someone's home without knocking on 0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.680
