0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff right now. We got a rare guilty Verdico you know,

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>these guys are liberated for a little bit over ten

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>hours and they pronounced the former police officer Derek shows

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>them guilty on all three charges, the second degree murder,

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>third degree murder, and second degree manslaughter for the murder

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>of George Floyd. Now that was surprised to me because

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I just knew they was gonna come back with a

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Shenanigans like they always do. The good that

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>was they didn't have that. They had video and they

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>had everything to convict that dude and the video and

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the people that was there that shaw him with his

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>knee there, that justified. Man. They couldn't have They couldn't

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>have came with nothing else but guilty. So I can

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>say about time. Yeah, I wasn't surprised at all. I

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people was reminiscing over that o

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>J ship or whatever. I mean, not o J, but

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>reminiscing over Rodney King and that type of ship. But uh,

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I kind of felt that they wasn't gonna let that slide. Man,

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>it's too you see what happened just in the wake

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of what were transpired behind him getting killed. So I

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 1>don't think they wanted to funk that up again as

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>far as that that role. When you know, we've seen

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>we've seen the horrible ship go down ourselves with the

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>riots in ninety two, far as Rodney King was concerned.

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>So and you see what happened here, man, My Funcker's

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>told it up, even even on the aspect with George Floyd.

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Even before the Vernie came down, Nikolas was tearing ship up.

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think they wanted to get that one

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>wrong this time you gave me. I was. I was

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of confident that they was finished up my nigger down.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Well het Yet to look at it, you didn't just

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>have people and and and in one state looking at it.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>You had people all across the world that saw that

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>video and was upset about it. Not just black people,

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>white people, agents. Everybody was mad at that. So to

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>come back and say not guilty, that would have that

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>would have that would have set off a lot of people.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>And then they were just seen what was what what

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it really is out here in America with black people.

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>So there was no way in the world it was

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna come back and say not guilty. He was not

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna be acquitted whatsoever. And you know, but you gotta

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>look at it. You had a video with Rodney King,

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and they tried to do the same thing. We we

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>make him look like a drug at it. We made

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the other people looking they got a problem. And they've

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>been doing us like that for the beginning. You know,

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>look down on us, talk about us. We got records.

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>So basically it didn't work this time, you know what

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. And you know that dude, no he killed him.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>The dude didn't have no expression on his face when

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>they handcuffed him, when he when they read the verdict,

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 1>no nothing, he was just looking like, Okay, he knew

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>he was going to jail. Well, you know what I'm

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>thinking too, is they about to drop his um, his

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>co defendants, um, the police officers that was with him,

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>because they need to go to jail too. They need

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to go to the bill too. They sit there and

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>watched the whole thing and didn't intervene. Um. I believe

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>they need to get passed down the Night's healthy sentence themselves.

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm really curious to what kind of time they

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>sentenced this guy. You that's what we gotta wait on

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>him because they could be five years, it could be

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>four years. You know, you just don't know, and I'm

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>hoping for the best, but you know, true then some

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>really I think we conditioned to expect the worst. Almost

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 1>not in this case. Man, I don't see them coming

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>back with no five, no, seven years. I think he's

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna get twenty in up or better because, like I said,

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>everybody is watching this, just like the sentence, and just

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>like the trial. Everybody's gonna want to see what they

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>sentenced him to. And that judge is not going to

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>come with no, no five years. Man, that dude is

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>going to get some time in prison. He got. He

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>got convicted of three counts. He ain't ben to get

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>no five years. I hope not. You you know, you

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>know one thing, this whole thing brought me and I

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>was doing some more. It would be perfect. It would

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>be perfect to like they do us. You know, when

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>they get us in there and they tell him, motherfucker.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're gonna make an example out of you,

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>motherfucking So we're gonna make this. We're gonna make an example.

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>We we we didn't fucked up. We know we've been

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>fucking up. Just the system is fucked up. You know.

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>The police brutality has been going on to mother. It's

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>two motherfucking long. So we got to make an example

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of this situation right here for everyone that's watching. Like

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you said, not just in America, this is like the

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>whole world watching. So you know you've seen the outreach

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that that went down. Like I said, we had Rodney King,

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>but George Floyd when this ship reached different nations, you

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>feel me. You know, people was protesting in different countries

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and ships behind this. So this is the we got

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to make an example of you, my nigga. You you're

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to go do the max that we can allow,

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>just to make an example of you that. You know,

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>we can't tolerate the police behind the scenes killing niggas

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>no more. Oh no, they worked as they did the

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>right thing. But like I said, man, they look at

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>police different than they look at us. Once the police

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>officers committed crime to me, he said, he ain't nothing

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>but a civilian and he should be treated just like

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>like us, as if one of us committed that crime.

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, you got brothers going to prison for life,

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>getting life from murder, and this dude could walk out

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>with fifteen years. Yeah, you know what it makes me

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>wonder though, you think about the police officers. That's what

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>these guys when they're doing this stuff. And I know,

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.679
<v Speaker 1>um they got that what's that thing called the blue shield,

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a where the cops never tell another cops because they're scared. Sometimes.

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>You had a sister on her name was on carry

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>your Horn out of Chicago, you know. She said she

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>was fired from the force and two thousand May for

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>stopping a fellow officer from choking the suspect. She said

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>she never wanted another officer to go through what she

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.080
<v Speaker 1>went through for doing the right thing. And we got

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a clip of checking this out right here hight a

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>seven Eye Witness News exclusive former Buffalo police officer Carriel

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Horn and a battle tonight to get her pension. She

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>was fired for trying to stop a fellow officer she

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>says was abusing a suspect, and tonight she is telling

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>her side of the story to seven Eye Witness News

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>reporter Kendra Eagland No. Number first, two thousand or six,

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>there was a call of officer in trouble at seven

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 1>or seven Waldon that officer Gregory Kwiatowski, who was responding

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to a domestic dispute inside of that home between Neil

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Mack and his girlfriend. When Officer Carriel Horn went into

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the house, she says Mac had already been placed under arrest.

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>He was handcuffed in the front and he was he

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>was sideways and vam punched in the face by Gregory Krkok.

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Horn and about ten other officers who arrived at the

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>scene helped drag Mac out of the home, but once outside,

0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Horn says officer Quiatkowski was out of control. Gregory Kwaikowski

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>turned Neil back around and started choking him. So then

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, greg you're choking him because I thought whatever

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>happened in the house he was still upset about. So

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>when he didn't stop choking him, then I just grabbed

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 1>his arm from around Neil mac net If that choke

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>hold of a handcuffed suspect caught Horn off guard, it

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 1>didn't prepare her for what she says Quietkowski did. Next.

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>He comes up and punches me in the face, and

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 1>I had to have my own breads replaced. Horne says

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>other officers pulled her back when she tried to defend herself.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Following that incident, Horn was fired, charged with obstruction for

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 1>jumping on Officer quit Kowski's back and or striking him

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>with her hands, but Officer quid Kowski's own words seemed

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to conflict with the charges. In sworn testimony, he says

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>she never got on top of me. Nonetheless, Horn lost

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>every appeal her nineteen year career over and she didn't

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>qualify for a pension. The breadwinner for her five children.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Horn now a truck driver to make ends meet. My

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>daughter said I'm allowed to go to work that day

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to never say why did you do what you did

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>or I wish you wouldn't have done it. She just said,

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I wish you would have gone to work that day,

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>so I don't regret it MHM. Officer Kwiatkowski retired from

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the police for for US after he was suspended for

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>choking another officer on the job, a separate incident of

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>punching another officer when he was off the clock, and

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:37.199
<v Speaker 1>most recently, Kwiatkowski and two other officers were indicted on

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>civil rights charges for holding down a black teenager and

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>shooting him with a BB gun. Asked for Horn. The

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>city has sent her case to the state retirement system

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>for a review. We contacted them for an update, but

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>we haven't heard back yet. See you gotta do with

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a pattern right there. This is a thing about that

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker right there. You know, she's trying to stop him

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>from choking this guy out because we could have you know,

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>definitely had another situation like we just went through. She

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>stops him and does the right thing and gets fired.

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Now the kind of cheery on top of this, the

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>sister just want to loss. And I think she went

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>like one point five million dollars or something. She got

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>her old retirement and teaching everything. But just think about

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.719
<v Speaker 1>how many more police officers they are out there that

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, you know, they go drop the dime

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>on their partner or whatever and they get into some

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>bs like that, you said. Just think it's it's all

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of people out there like that. She ain't the

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>only officer that went through it. Take a thing off.

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.319
<v Speaker 1>This is what you gotta go through, and this is

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>how the police are man, you know. And it just

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>funked up. But that's what we can't do shit about it.

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>We could talk about it, but we ain't trying to

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>fix the ship. We ain't trying to make it right.

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Everybody I know, I know, anything got his asked by

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.839
<v Speaker 1>the police, rough rughed up by the police. You can't

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>go father complaining against the police. They're gonna boil that

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>as soon as you woke up out of there. That

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>ship has unheard of. They protect each other. That's why

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I said in our line of what we did and

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>where we came from. Uh, Like I said, you see

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that ship every day. It's it's not expected for you

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to go. I'm gonna file a reporter and they gona

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>kick me in the ribs. I'm gonna, nigga, bust me

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 1>in the mouth, in the chin with the flashlight or what.

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>When you in the trenches of the of the hoods

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and whatever. You know, their motherfucker's is banging worser than

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>we are in the hood. And if they come through

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 1>and they handcuffed you, you thought about an eight out

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.079
<v Speaker 1>of ten chance of getting your motherfucking asswhoop. And you

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.319
<v Speaker 1>just took that. You know what I'm saying. We didn't go.

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>We didn't go running off like that because it was expected.

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.079
<v Speaker 1>So now we didn't buy reports and ship like that.

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Never fuck it. I mean, so and So fucked me up.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 1>That motherfucker kicked me in the ribs last night. Man, man, nigga,

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>And you go about your business, you feel me. Yeah,

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>And like James said, we all have been touched on

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>by the police. I wasn't living a game banger, and

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't got my ask food by the police. Before

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I got to the point when I was living the

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>North Long Beach, James, I had to move off that

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker because I had wind cup. He took me to

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>jail over some boating ship one time, came back. He

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>was touring my cars and ship like literally every other day,

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and the motherfucker would ride past my house like this,

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>looking at me like this, like you but I say nothing.

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Just mad dog on me all the time, just being

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a rash to the point where I had to move

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and I had another party that was a sheriff, right.

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.319
<v Speaker 1>He told me, he said, you got a lawsuit? You

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.680
<v Speaker 1>for a lawsuit. I got a phone call from the

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>chief commander when I filed a complaint. He told me

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll need to withdraw or he couldn't be responsible what

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>happened to me, and he wouldn't lye. But that's sucked up, dog,

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>It's real fucked up. You know what. A lot of

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people don't even pay attention man. The police,

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the police are all police. They come

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to work with attitude. Police are just like us. They

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>have family issues, the whole nine. At home. They go

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>through ship. Some of them grew up being bullied. Some

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of them, Uh, go to the military and come back

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 1>with this this, this sucking attitude. I want to blame.

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>They sucked up in the brain and they bring that

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>ship to the streets. Some of the fucker's get a

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>kick out of just like we did. Gotta kick out

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of beating up certain motherfucker's or are beating beating up

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you know. You know what I'm saying. And once you

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>get used to that and be comes a routine, and

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the police the only thing they say, I don't give

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a funk what happened to you. I'm going home to

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>my family. And regardless of and when just saying that bullshit,

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>they're not lying to you because this is this is

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the only thing on their fucking mind. You got police

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>out there, man that that has to prove a point

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 1>to the partner that he's with the business and I

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>got your back. Regardless you got some police ain't with it,

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>but they just do it just because to fit into

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that blue shield bullshit or whatever the funk they got

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>going on. All of them out there ain't bad. All

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>of them out there ain't bad. Well, you see what happens. Yeah,

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but she's not the only one that that

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that ain't bad. But the whole world goes against you

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>when you turn against your own calm, and that's what

0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>happened to her. She would against her her coach, just

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>like in the hood, you you your outcast, and that's

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>what happened to her. Yeah, you figured this two thousand

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and eight, right, and there's two thousand and twenty one.

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Now she just got I think, give me if I'm wrong.

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I think one point five million dollars. That was eleven

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Bro, my math right, that's a couple of years, right, Yeah,

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that's eleven years ago. You froze? Can can you hear me? Now?

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Can you hear me? James? Yeah, yeah, you don't see me? Eight? Yeah,

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>So you figured this sister went through all that stuff

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and she said that he was doing other ship after that, James,

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it took the motherfucker some years to fire this man.

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>He choked another officer out, punched another officer, choked the

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>black kid out. It's like how much shenanigans and bullshit

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>that he had to do before they fired as motherfucker

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and they say something at work. But they like him.

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>They liked him. That's why he was that rough rider

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>for them. They liked him. It wasn't until all his

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 1>motherfucking bullshit kept piling up that they had to funk

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>around and terminate him. You give me, But he was

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>one of them rough riders for their motherfucker's. So oh,

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go out and punk motherfucker's and choke them

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and motherfucker's. Man, please, we love his motherfucker right here.

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Hell no, we love he choking motherfucker's and and taking

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that type of stand around the motherfucker community because it

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>shows that they get more authority as the motherfucking cops.

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 1>But now his bullshit start piling up and there's nothing

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>they can do. Now you you punch, you get me?

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.400
<v Speaker 1>This track record with fucking with other officers is already long.

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>He punching out other officers, He motherfucking choking motherfucker's. But

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>like I said, still he wanted them all. He wanted

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>them strong white cops. You feel me. They liked that.

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 1>They liked that. Yeah, and let me tell you one

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 1>more point. He didn't get terminated. He was allowed to

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 1>retire and if correctly, if I'm wrong, but when they

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.880
<v Speaker 1>return James, they get their full severy. Don't think you're

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>not listening to what I'm saying. He was a writer

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 1>for the Motherfucker's so there's no way they find to

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>just throw him under the bus like that. Nigga. We're

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna allow you to retire so you can get your bread.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 1>You feel me, We boys out here stick together. You

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 1>get me, So you go ahead and retire, and we're

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.159

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you still get your bread. But we can't allow you

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 1>to continue when you got so many motherfucking reports of

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>being a funk up, because in a minute, you're gonna

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.439
<v Speaker 1>kill a nigga and then we're gonna look stupid. He

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>was only the way the doing just that because this

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 1>last I guess the straw the broken camel's back was him,

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, showing out some black kids. And then you've

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 1>got another woman that don't try to run over a

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>group of kids. Yeah, that you bring into a group

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.719
<v Speaker 1>of teenage black kids that could have been your grandson, James,

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that could have been one of your kids, that could

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.120
<v Speaker 1>have been your son out there. Eighth mom's own business

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and a woman gets the side, and I often wonder, man,

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 1>our lives don't have no value on them, bro, we

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:16.800
<v Speaker 1>don't value our life. Though, if we start valuing our life,

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>we have value out there. We don't value our life.

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 1>We take We take life every day. I wouldn't give

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a funk with nobody saying I don't care if a

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker mad at me. We we take life every day

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and motherfucker's today is taking life just on GP really

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 1>on some stupid ship. But then we cry when there's

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.120
<v Speaker 1>other people? Is it okay for us to do it? Man?

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 1>We gotta figure this ship out. Knowing we gotta figure

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 1>this ship out. This ship ain't just. It ain't cool.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So let's get some publicity about motherfucker's out here doing

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 1>these drive by shooting them up. Pregnant woman. You know

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, happen this ship don't make no sense.

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>If what I'm saying is if we don't care about selver,

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>ain't nobody else gonna give a funk about us, not

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 1>at all. I mean they already look at us like

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:14.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, um our existence is is is shipped to

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>them to certain You know, I'm not gonna say everyone,

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 1>but our existence already means shipped to them looking where

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>they started where with us, you feel me, So it's

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>already our existence and shipped to them. And then you

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 1>have motherfucker's who come from the traditional fucking families and

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>backgrounds and down home, good old boy ass motherfucking heritage,

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>where they look upon the ship we do. Like you said, James,

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.640
<v Speaker 1>when they look at us and we're banging and we're

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>blasting each other and whatever, that just fuels their fire

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of the attitude that they already had with us from

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the gate. You give me let these dumb motherfucker's because

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what they think about us. You had a clansman

0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>kkk motherfucker's say we ain't got to shoot the motherfucker's

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 1>no more. They're doing it for us. That should have

0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>been a hit and that have But any motherfucker that

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>ran across that message, we're doing it form are we

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 1>we we assisting the police? We kill more than than

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>than they do, the true true and as as is,

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>if you want to count all the ship that they

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.679
<v Speaker 1>put us through, like the neighborhood ship that we do.

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, it's it's a lot of the

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 1>youngness and the young minded because of you know, like

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.479
<v Speaker 1>when I grew up, I was young minded to the

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>fact that fuck it. You know, we bang, we bang,

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's it, because I didn't see anything else. You

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 1>get me. As far as do I see a future

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>or a nigga gonna be a professional or some ship

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 1>like that, I didn't. I didn't look that far. So

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we have to, you know, should

0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.080
<v Speaker 1>the niggas in the neighborhoods or the young home is

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.919
<v Speaker 1>or whatever that In the long run, there is a

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of ship that you can live for because proven

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the existence of like you said, dry by killings and

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 1>going to the p n and trying to earn your

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>weight that way really doesn't significant signify who we need

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to try to be as nigger as you feel me

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 1>because it fox us up the track record we got. Well,

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm like this man, and just like you said, we

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 1>grew up believing that it was the right thing to do.

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 1>We believe that we're protecting the neighborhood. Anytime you get

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in the motherfucking car, and I noticed now I didn't

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>think like this then. Anytime you get in the car

0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and go outside of your neighborhood. You become a predator.

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You become a predator because you're looking to kill. You

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:57.399
<v Speaker 1>feel me where we cut it, killing this killing. So

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, what I'm saying is at some point,

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.400
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker's gotta wake up and smell the coffee. We didn't.

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>We were doing more to our to ourselves. When a

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:12.160
<v Speaker 1>woman kid was killed, mothers against drunk driving. They came

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:15.120
<v Speaker 1>up that they marched on that and and now they

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know what I'm saying, when we're gonna

0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>watch against brothers killing brothers, when we're gonna understand our situation,

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. We got homies that stuck

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in the goddamn hood still believe it today that this

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:33.480
<v Speaker 1>is what we're supposed to be doing. You got motherfucker's

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that's stuck in the hood because they don't see nothing.

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I know nothing else, But that's the biggest thing, James,

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I think, Man, we need to get it because I

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 1>got homeboys man like them. I was talking to Glasses

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.439
<v Speaker 1>about want of the homies that that's what us. He

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>said that the first time this dude ever been out

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>of Watson was going to Las Vegas with us. One time,

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, so, you've been living in California, old life,

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and you ain't never been out of watch. He said no,

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 1>unless we went to the Hump and swapped me. He said,

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 1>he's never don I never been nowhere unless it was

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>with my Stepp Pubs going to Texas. But other than that,

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't until I got out of print, out of

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>prison and went with Shill to to fucking Vegas. Are

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 1>going to fucking Denver. But I've never seen all the

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.119
<v Speaker 1>ship that I've seen fucking with that dude. There's a

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of homies just steal in the hood that ain't

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:29.120
<v Speaker 1>went nowhere now. He let me ask you this, when

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:30.960
<v Speaker 1>you first got on with the wrap thing and you

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>first went out on your promo tour, and you know

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:34.919
<v Speaker 1>you can start to get up out of town. You're

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 1>going to New York and all that stuff was the

0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>culture shop for you. At first. I used to take

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>summer vacations back to the South, so I was used

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 1>to tryangling. My mom made it a point, like I said,

0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:51.959
<v Speaker 1>we were low income, poverty living in Compton, you know,

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>but I still have relatives Florida, Texas, Georgia, ship like that.

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 1>So Mom's made it up point to put us on

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>a plane or a bus and ship us out, so

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>as far as down south and going and knowing how

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to whatever move as a kid, but as far as

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the rap ship going to places that I would never thought.

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the first time I went to New York

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:21.880
<v Speaker 1>at eighteen years old, you know, during the rap ship,

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>it was a culture shock to me because I had

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 1>never been nowhere other than Gulfport, Mississippi, you feel me,

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:31.439
<v Speaker 1>and that was it, or Tampa Bay, Florida, where my

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.360
<v Speaker 1>pops was from. Other than that, I've never been nowhere,

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you hear me. I'm eighteen nineteen in the hood. I mean,

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 1>we didn't even shoot. I didn't go to l A,

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you feel me, unless it was to the Untes house

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 1>as a kid or something. By the time I got

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:50.959
<v Speaker 1>older and was banging, I didn't travel out of I

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't like. I didn't go nowhere. You know, we didn't

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.439
<v Speaker 1>do Hollywood, We didn't do none of that type of

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 1>ship because the way I felt like, i'm I'm we

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 1>from Campton, so you stay in your territory. So when

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I started wrapping and was able to go to places

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>like Dallas, Texas or New York or Atlanta or Chicago.

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>It definitely was a culture shop because I was able

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to see the positive side out of doing something other

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:23.440
<v Speaker 1>than banging. You did me. It was taking me different places.

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>So it would change my attitude because you gotta meet

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 1>all kind of people, different elements of motherfucking people. You

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:33.879
<v Speaker 1>give me, I'm going to different cities, and I gotta

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 1>walk up in these record labels in different cities, and

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, everybody has different personalities over here. It might

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>be full of white people over here. It might be

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 1>blacks and Asians over and everybody not like us where

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:49.879
<v Speaker 1>we come from. Everybody don't get it. So you have

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to learn how to adapt to that type of ship

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:55.360
<v Speaker 1>when you meet in different people. And and like we say,

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:59.439
<v Speaker 1>regular civilian motherfucker's who ain't never had a part it is.

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And they were to ask you questions and and why

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>his niggas doing this? And colors and why is niggas

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>killing and banging? And why did you have to sell

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>drugs and do this ship? They really don't get that ship.

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:16.399
<v Speaker 1>They don't they've done at all. And one of the things,

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 1>like James said, is like we could talk about this

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that we blew in the face because unfortunately George Floyd

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the first. He's not gonna be the last brother

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna be. We're gonna be gonna have probably

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>had this conversation twenty five more times and why But

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna try to figure out some loose solutions. And

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I think really the whole key to this man is

0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 1>getting to these cats while they're young, like you out

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 1>there coaching football. Eight And I missed coaching football for

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:47.199
<v Speaker 1>that fact, because you were able to impact guys and

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.959
<v Speaker 1>when they were six seven years old, guys that come

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:52.440
<v Speaker 1>from terrible backgrounds. Had a whole bunch of game banging

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:55.160
<v Speaker 1>kids on my team. You know. The keys wasn't necessarily

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:57.880
<v Speaker 1>game bankers, but the parents was. You could tell, Okay,

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the day from Carver Park, the other there from Tree Top,

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, but they come out on that football field,

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody kind of clicked up. And that's equalizers. So what

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to do? Man? And I was talking to

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a um, you know, big dinners up there. You know,

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean this sons, our sons projected to go pretty

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>high next year the draft. So what I really want

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to do? Eight, James, I'm beat y'all involved in this.

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to really start up program where we start

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:25.640
<v Speaker 1>taking these kids to see different places. That's one thing

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I do like about the Snoop League is it takes

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 1>kids about their neighborhood and they go see different places,

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.160
<v Speaker 1>even if it's just up this road to go to Oakland,

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, to go to friends, no play different you know,

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 1>see different stuff. But that that makes it different sometimes

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 1>because the first time I went to Europe it was

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>life changing for me because I came back home and

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, Man, it's a whole another world out there.

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a whole another world out there, big world, and

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>we need to start showing these kids. So maybe and

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>my whole thing is this are the twenty kids. If

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>we can get one or two, I'm cool with that,

0:28:58.000 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>if we could say it's one or two of them,

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:01.080
<v Speaker 1>because you ain't gonna be to say to everybody. But

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I really want to start getting back to the root

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 1>of everything. And man, that's these babies and some of

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 1>these cats. Man, once they turned seventeen and eight two,

0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 1>it ain't necessarily too late for them. But they mind

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>already made up. Man. Yeah, they started early, you know,

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>So whatever I think, whatever you can do to show

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>involvement with the with the with the youngs and with

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the youth, and showing involvement and showing that there is,

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, life outside the hood, because like I said,

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of us be products of our environment and

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>we and we'd be stuck and not too criticized because

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I came from that ship. You feel me. But it's

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you know, inner city kids who you know, uh,

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>single family, mom's low income. You know, you know that

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:49.720
<v Speaker 1>work homei'es come home from prison, the drug deal or

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever they caught gang banging. It's kind of hard to

0:29:52.280 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>get your life straight when you're gonna be a twenty

0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 1>five years and you come home and then you know,

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the babies is left with the single moms and then

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:01.480
<v Speaker 1>they have to go through that insition of hate because

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 1>pops ain't around. So you know, if you could start there,

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 1>even though you know it ain't pops and I'm not Dad,

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>but the male figure, I feel showing importance to some

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 1>of the young kids is what really could change some

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>of the aspects. Uh, you know, letting the motherfucker see, hey,

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 1>your pops might not be here at the game, but

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>we showed up. You get me, or they might not

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>can't get you a pair of shoes, but we kicked

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>up and we got you some shoes. Or you uh,

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 1>your mom or your dad might not be able to

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 1>get you to Oakland and ship, but we're gonna get

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 1>you there. And I think when you do ship like that,

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it shows the motherfucker oh well, because so now you

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>can't blame the aspect you get me. You can't be

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 1>like all with ship. My mom couldn't do this and

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I was left being When you show that importance and ship,

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>then I think that makes it a great change because

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of kids I saw in six

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>seven you know, gets be bad and the motherfucker at

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 1>four or five, six years or man. And I think

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>just because I participated, and you know, oh dad, ain't

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 1>your dad. I ain't never seen your pops at the game.

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 1>But it's still fucking we got you. Oh y'all going

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to Disneyland and Asbury Farm. Oh fucking you're going to

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 1>here's your ticket, here's your ticket. I think when we

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 1>do that, just like I do the ship, I'll make

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:24.480
<v Speaker 1>sure every kid on my team when they show up,

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 1>what she cleats, I'm getting everybody cleats I'm getting everybody

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever because I don't kiss to feel left out. You

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>feel me. That really funks with a lot of kids

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>when they feel left out of ship. So I think

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 1>just showing that and being able to participate and being

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>able to do certain little ship like that makes a

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of difference. And it takes a motherfucking kid

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 1>from wanting to throw up the set to motherfucking want

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to throw in the basketball. Who could throw a football

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 1>or or pick up a book and do some other

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 1>ship like that when you as niggas like us where

0:31:57.360 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>we came from, James, when we showed interest eight eight,

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>it's something else you could be doing. Let me let

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 1>me show you, let me peep this out. Yeah, And

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I and I really want to bring that back though,

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>because I read at one time changed that and they

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>this for both of y'all. I heard that Compton at

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:22.479
<v Speaker 1>one time was producing more Major League Baseball players than

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>anywhere else and they made baseball so expensive for the

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 1>little kids. But they said that at one time Compton

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>was the Meca for baseball. My neighborhood had all kind

0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of superstars, baseball, football, the whole nine in it. Uh.

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>One of my home boys went to college. Uh, full

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 1>scholarship for baseball, had a cold as arm, came home

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 1>spring break, never went back. It's just the decisions that

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 1>we're making, the things that we do. Man, you know

0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>we paeople are now. But when back then, when motherfucker's

0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to go back to college, they preferred the hood,

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and and at the end of the day, we paid

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>for it. So we make poor decisions. But a seventeen

0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>year old cat can be reached out, can be reached

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:22.880
<v Speaker 1>nor Uh, you just got show him something different. Still

0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:25.000
<v Speaker 1>early in the game for him, he still went behind

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the ears far as just being a game banging. Uh.

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And I don't give a high solid he might think

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 1>he is sixteen, seventeen years old. He can be reached.

0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 1>You feel me, Well, we have to come with alternatives

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 1>because my thing is this, I really want us to start.

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you're putting your money where your mouthel is. You

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>don't have no mon keys out there. You still messing

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 1>with the kids. And I've been driving by those parts lately,

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I missed that. Like we had a little kid

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of the team named Ramble. Rambo was one of my

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 1>hardest players. When I tell you he was every bit

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 1>of two foot nothing, but one of my hardest players.

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I put him on the edge, on the edge when

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 1>we got hard games. Say what nobody get around the

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:09.319
<v Speaker 1>corner from the smallest dude out there. But you know

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:11.680
<v Speaker 1>why he got his name Ramble. He used to carry

0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a pistol with him every practice in twenty two and

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:17.040
<v Speaker 1>this dude what the seven eight years old pistols every day.

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>So we're talking to him one day and we say, man,

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 1>why did you have to We don't took three games

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 1>when you are already he said, coach home. When I

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 1>leave here, I ain't no telling what can happen. I

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>already had a brother, I've already lost a brother. I

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 1>lost the cousin. So this dude in his mind, he's

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:35.799
<v Speaker 1>thinking of eight years old. I have to have protection

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 1>because I've seen my brother lose his life already, and

0:34:39.040 --> 0:34:41.479
<v Speaker 1>I've seen my cousin lose his life. So I don't

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:43.879
<v Speaker 1>want to go out like that, you know. So it's

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 1>like I think about them kids all the time because

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I had them from when they was babies on up.

0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 1>But then after they leave me, what happens to him?

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 1>You feel what I'm saying, like, like, where did they

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 1>go and I, you know, I hear these stories about him,

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.360
<v Speaker 1>some of them in prison, some of them dead, some

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:00.080
<v Speaker 1>moving and went to college. You know, I try to

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>keep up with as many of them as I can't. Man,

0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:04.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think the only people that can help us

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 1>is us. So I want to start putting my time

0:35:08.400 --> 0:35:11.919
<v Speaker 1>and my our money, our efforts into doing that right there.

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>And again, I know we can't say is everybody, man,

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>but something gotta give. Then all it is is that

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:19.960
<v Speaker 1>just trying to put forth the effort. I mean, it

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 1>starts from somewhere. And like you said, talk is cheap.

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 1>So it just has to be a scenario where you

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:29.239
<v Speaker 1>connect with something, you connect with it, and you you

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 1>make it happen. Like I said, my son has been

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's been out of a youth football for

0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>three years now, but I still coach and I started.

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I went back to coach eleven twelve year old kids because,

0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 1>like I said, it's not even the factor to me.

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just about connecting with kids and let my fucking

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:54.399
<v Speaker 1>kids see, Like ship, it's cool that you come out.

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't come out on the fact that they know

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm who I am or whatever. I just come out

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:02.280
<v Speaker 1>as a regular dude. And then naturally the parents start

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 1>noticing and stuff like that, and it just excites the

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:10.359
<v Speaker 1>kids because they see that I could be anywhere, you know,

0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 1>doing anything, but you know, to me, I don't give

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a funk. I'd rather be out at the park with kids,

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to teach kids about teamwork, trying to teach kids

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:22.840
<v Speaker 1>about you can get along, because, believe you me, I

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:25.719
<v Speaker 1>got living your old kids who do not like each other,

0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you feel me, And they'd be ready to get him

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:31.880
<v Speaker 1>up and talk about I'm fuck him up and I don't.

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that kid, and I'm gonna suck him

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:36.760
<v Speaker 1>up after practice, and I have to talk to kids

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and be like dude and pull kids together and be like,

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.320
<v Speaker 1>while you're around me for the next four months, nigga,

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 1>we homies right here. He got your back, You got

0:36:46.560 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it back. Take two gloves, and you know what I'll

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>make you know what I'll make you know what I'll

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:01.239
<v Speaker 1>make them do, James, I'm make them hold hands and

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 1>skip around the whole part together while they hold hands.

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:06.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what I make them do. Y'all want to be

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:09.240
<v Speaker 1>on my team, and y'all want to be acting crazy?

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh then I'm gonna embarrass you, because that's what you're

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:14.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna really be doing, embarrassing yourself, trying to be out

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:17.360
<v Speaker 1>here fighting that eleven years old man. You know what

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>my son was doing that eleven playing football and living

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:24.760
<v Speaker 1>in an eleven year old life, cartoons and fucking cereal

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and ship like that. He didn't have no beefs with

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 1>no little kids. Everybody liked them everything. And that's what

0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about, Addie Levin at seven eight, you don't

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:38.719
<v Speaker 1>carry a pistol. You should be being a kid. You

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 1>get me, and and that's unfortunate. So that's why I say,

0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:44.279
<v Speaker 1>it's just we just have to, like you said, you

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:46.239
<v Speaker 1>just have to put up on shut up. And and

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that's that's why I still coach football, because I'm trying

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to put up and not shut up just because and

0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>show motherfucker's it wasn't just about coaching my son or

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 1>getting to that level. And now I can go cool.

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I might funk that I'm gonna go coach again. Why not,

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.440
<v Speaker 1>because that's because I've stayed around for like a year

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:07.360
<v Speaker 1>or two after my son was gone. But then the

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:09.880
<v Speaker 1>time this became too much because I wanted to just

0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:11.960
<v Speaker 1>stay and be a coach, but didn't nobody want to

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:13.840
<v Speaker 1>step up and do the president's stuff. So that's what

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 1>it was. Kind of like, you know what, it's getting

0:38:16.000 --> 0:38:18.160
<v Speaker 1>too difficulties, you know, the time to go into that.

0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like when you running the organization, it's a lot,

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.319
<v Speaker 1>it's time consuming. So I get it. That's why I've

0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 1>never tried to be a president or nothing. That just

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>let me coach. I take my two hours with the kids,

0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, teach them some some some some sportsmanship, teach

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 1>them how to get along with other dudes, and teach

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 1>them how you you know, everything's about not retaliation in

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that aspect, and that's it. And then maybe at the

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.400
<v Speaker 1>end of the day when they leave practice, they go

0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:46.920
<v Speaker 1>home with the sense and the feeling of they've learned

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:49.319
<v Speaker 1>something and it's some motherfunk out there who really care

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.000
<v Speaker 1>about what's going on. You would feel me with me

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:54.920
<v Speaker 1>as a kid, because you know, you know you as

0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a kid, sometimes you might not lock with the parents.

0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Then you might not like with going on that's cool,

0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:03.120
<v Speaker 1>or the brother at home or whatever, and then there's

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:05.799
<v Speaker 1>somebody you can connect with that just understand it. All

0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you give me, I ain't take a mama's side, daddy side,

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.919
<v Speaker 1>brother side of teacher side. You just be cool, don't

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 1>get into no ship and me and you straight. And

0:39:14.440 --> 0:39:19.719
<v Speaker 1>I think that really resonates with some of the kids exactly.

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:21.959
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing, man, because I know James talked

0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 1>about it all the time. And one thing James just said,

0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:27.879
<v Speaker 1>he made a really like big point because once these

0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:30.920
<v Speaker 1>kids turned thirteen or four teen, they leave us, we

0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:33.399
<v Speaker 1>have to have something that work. We can really just

0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:36.520
<v Speaker 1>keep something going for them for the next three or

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.239
<v Speaker 1>four years, something for him, because you know, eight, some

0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:42.839
<v Speaker 1>people stop playing youth football, basketball or whatever and just

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:45.600
<v Speaker 1>never play again after that, right, they start getting to

0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 1>other stuff. You know, they may not be interested in

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 1>sport no more. But we we really definitely, man, we

0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:53.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta sit down and and and put some stuff together.

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:54.719
<v Speaker 1>You're already doing the eight and I know where your

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:56.520
<v Speaker 1>heart is, would the James. And that's one of the

0:39:56.560 --> 0:39:59.879
<v Speaker 1>really biggest things for us over the next few months

0:39:59.880 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to established some stuff. You know, shout out the snoop,

0:40:02.040 --> 0:40:03.759
<v Speaker 1>shout out the flow rider, because all of them to

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:07.399
<v Speaker 1>dudes put their time and their money, you know where

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 1>it's at. You know, they started with these babies. But

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 1>like James said, we just can't ignore the seventeen and

0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 1>sixteen year olds and stuff like that. And you know,

0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a thing like the way they say

0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 1>you can't help everybody, man, but I damn should want

0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 1>to try. You know what I'm saying? What man? You

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:28.680
<v Speaker 1>know what you sitting there to talking about this stuff

0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 1>just pissed me off. Man. You know that all the

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 1>people out there, start talking to your neighbors. Let's go

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>back to the old value. Start talking to the cat

0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to live next door to you, the kid to live

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:42.040
<v Speaker 1>next door to you. See if he are right. My

0:40:42.120 --> 0:40:43.879
<v Speaker 1>wife was telling me the other day that she saw

0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy that looked like he thought he was a

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 1>whole boat, like a grown man. It turned out it

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:49.920
<v Speaker 1>was like a little eleven year old kid. He was

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:52.120
<v Speaker 1>out there asking for change you in front of people's

0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:54.839
<v Speaker 1>business or whatever. They called the police on him. She said,

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to dude, stood up, he's a little kid. You know

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the kids, and you know, kids should get an opportunity

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to be kids, man, not just like you know, a

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 1>picture the stuff that we grew up in. Man. I

0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:09.680
<v Speaker 1>just couldn't see my kids living life like that. So

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I think some of these kids living, say he living,

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Some of them got to take care of themselves because

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>mama doing something pops in that home. So some of

0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>these kids out there raising theirselves pretty much. You know

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Uh, we didn't got bad and it's

0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:34.840
<v Speaker 1>getting worser. So not only reaching out to the dudes,

0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:37.319
<v Speaker 1>we got to reach out to these mothers and tell

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:41.800
<v Speaker 1>these mothers they need to stand up and be mothers. Uh.

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:44.879
<v Speaker 1>It ain't about the club every motherfucking night hanging out

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:48.439
<v Speaker 1>drinking and getting high. You know what I'm saying. All

0:41:48.480 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the all the black men get the bad end of

0:41:52.200 --> 0:41:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the stick. But there's some women out there that shouldn't

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:59.319
<v Speaker 1>have motherfucking kids. It's some women out there that that

0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:04.000
<v Speaker 1>their kids for a boyfriend, you know what I'm saying,

0:42:04.560 --> 0:42:07.600
<v Speaker 1>or for that pedophile motherfucker. So we just need to

0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 1>check ourselves. Man, hein the only eleven year old kid

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that's out there, you know what I'm saying. In the change. Yeah,

0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:19.920

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 1>your business owners out there, everybody, We're gonna put some

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:26.200

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:39.400
<v Speaker 1>successful men and women out here today to get an

0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:45.760
<v Speaker 1>organization and you can get three builders with with fos

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:50.880
<v Speaker 1>from each motherfucking person of wealth here to build for

0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:55.680
<v Speaker 1>these teenagers. These young people are here today. You know

0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:57.640
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. It don't take a lot of money

0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to do this from one motherfucker's and take a jay

0:43:00.680 --> 0:43:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Z to spend a million dollars. It just takes the

0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:07.239
<v Speaker 1>right people to step up and put their money where

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:10.560
<v Speaker 1>their mouth is and say, okay, I invested five and

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:15.839
<v Speaker 1>get the right people to run that ship, and then

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we can move from there and build and grow and

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:22.320
<v Speaker 1>get these kids off the goddamn street. Teach these kids

0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in trade. Teach some of these kids how to read.

0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:28.520
<v Speaker 1>You got you got some kids, some some talent out

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 1>there that that these little young cats in or the box,

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and and you reap the benefits later. You know what

0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. You ain't gonna see him right there and there,

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 1>but you read. The beneficis later. It's not hard to invest,

0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:43.839
<v Speaker 1>but you just want to invest in the right thing,

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:47.719
<v Speaker 1>and four hundred dollars to save a brother or kid

0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:54.520
<v Speaker 1>is worth it that eliminates the police bullshit. Only when

0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:58.560
<v Speaker 1>she see one thing I trip off of and then

0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:01.279
<v Speaker 1>you gotta look at the police are sets up it.

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Some of us have an attitude soon as the police

0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 1>come up to us too. And you know, me and

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Reggie used to arguing about this all the time. Sometimes

0:44:12.760 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 1>no matter if you got an attitude, because when they

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:17.279
<v Speaker 1>walk up to their car, to your car, they got

0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:20.239
<v Speaker 1>an attitude. They got their hand on their guns. Some

0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:22.799
<v Speaker 1>of them just want to see if they can work

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:25.160
<v Speaker 1>with you and how far can they work with you.

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.799
<v Speaker 1>By that time, it's too late, because the average cat

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:31.640
<v Speaker 1>in the hood is like, man, why the funk y'all

0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:37.239
<v Speaker 1>sucking with me? Now? They're mad? So from from from

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:41.200
<v Speaker 1>zero to fifty is on from fifty to a hundred,

0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:44.880
<v Speaker 1>one of us don't got killed because we ain't replying

0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that we ain't listening. And that ship is designed by

0:44:48.600 --> 0:44:54.400
<v Speaker 1>their motherfucker's to say stop resisting. Once you say stop resisting,

0:44:54.480 --> 0:44:58.360
<v Speaker 1>its own. From that point dog his own. You know

0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Some of the ships look at and

0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:04.680
<v Speaker 1>see on Facebook, just don't say ship to him. It's

0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:07.080
<v Speaker 1>better not to open your fucking mouth. You don't have

0:45:07.160 --> 0:45:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to tell them who you are. You don't have to

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:13.520
<v Speaker 1>mention your name. We gotta learn the law. And once

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:16.080
<v Speaker 1>we learn the law and start busting codes on they asked,

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:18.919
<v Speaker 1>they know what they can't on how they came funk

0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:23.320
<v Speaker 1>with us. Ship is on us because we ain't paying attention.

0:45:23.840 --> 0:45:26.359
<v Speaker 1>And if it's a broad next to you or one

0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of the homies next to you, we have it up.

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Fuck that none times out can and let them go

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:38.200
<v Speaker 1>about their motherfucking business. But if we don't start helping

0:45:38.200 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 1>each other, dog police ain't been to help us and

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:44.920
<v Speaker 1>know and and nobody feel from Africa when it come

0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:48.359
<v Speaker 1>help us. If we don't help those that need help,

0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:50.839
<v Speaker 1>and we know we need help because they've been there,

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been in it. I lived that life. I can't

0:45:54.640 --> 0:45:57.000
<v Speaker 1>knock down thinking that pick up a pistol and go

0:45:57.040 --> 0:45:59.879
<v Speaker 1>out there and do some foky ship because I live

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that ship. So any motherfucker that going out there and

0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>say they stupid bastard killing the wolf, he's a hypocrite

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and you live that life. So instead of talking and

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and doing all that other ship man, motherfucker's just gotta

0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:19.640
<v Speaker 1>help people, man, And that's what we are. That's why

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:25.799
<v Speaker 1>we're here, and what I want to do is I

0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:29.000
<v Speaker 1>want to leave everybody on this note right there, because

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we don't text on everything. We can touch

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you on about this, and you know, like I said,

0:46:33.000 --> 0:46:34.719
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we don't have to talk about at least for

0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a while. Think about it. Only take a minute to

0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:41.840
<v Speaker 1>lose your life. It only takes one minute, so a

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:45.200
<v Speaker 1>little simple traffic stop to turn into just a tragedy.

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:47.839
<v Speaker 1>So the next time the police pulled one of y'all over,

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and keep your hands on the team, and two, give

0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 1>him what he asked for. Be cordial and get on

0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 1>even if it's a bullshit ticket or whatever like that.

0:46:57.640 --> 0:47:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Just live to live to see another day. And that's it.

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:04.160
<v Speaker 1>That's so, that's all I gotta say for us. It

0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:09.359
<v Speaker 1>takes away the intent, man, it takes it away. It

0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:12.400
<v Speaker 1>takes the upper hand from them, you know what I'm saying.

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So you know what, you're gonna run into that one

0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:18.480
<v Speaker 1>that want to put his hands on you, that one

0:47:18.520 --> 0:47:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that's mad. What we gotta realize, when Donald Trump was

0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:27.880
<v Speaker 1>in office, they showed us they had racist motherfucker's in

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the military, racist motherfucker's and in office, racist motherfucking police

0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:40.600
<v Speaker 1>officers and all different branches and and the Marines. The

0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:45.719
<v Speaker 1>whole nine is, the odds are against us as a

0:47:45.800 --> 0:47:50.600
<v Speaker 1>people because they got people in higher places than us,

0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:54.959
<v Speaker 1>so they're not giving a funk about how we feel

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 1>about certain ships. They're just sicking the dogs on us.

0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:02.920
<v Speaker 1>And Nick's ain't panting to these police out of here

0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:07.000
<v Speaker 1>killing motherfucker's And they got women out here. Women went

0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to jail for uh, look at these dudes out of here,

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:14.080
<v Speaker 1>day out of the trip for for for hitting with

0:48:14.239 --> 0:48:21.799
<v Speaker 1>the capital. It's women, military women. It's against us. Dog.

0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm scared to get my cheer poor because that motherfucker

0:48:25.560 --> 0:48:27.960
<v Speaker 1>my dimness might be a motherfucking clansman and he might

0:48:28.040 --> 0:48:32.160
<v Speaker 1>just suck me up with something, thank you. I'm serious.

0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 1>It's people in higher places that are racist, and if

0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:39.000
<v Speaker 1>we ain't paying attention to it, or we say hi

0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to the dinners and the doctor, but it ain't just

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:48.239
<v Speaker 1>the police, man, I'm just gonna shut it down. Just man.

0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:51.200
<v Speaker 1>We we really got to focus and pay attention to

0:48:51.239 --> 0:48:54.960
<v Speaker 1>what's happening to us pitching off. And you know what

0:48:55.560 --> 0:48:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't only I know you have quite see it

0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:00.400
<v Speaker 1>in my face. I haven't been this fresh using a

0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:02.759
<v Speaker 1>long time. We're just doing a research to put this

0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:09.319
<v Speaker 1>episode together and doing everything. I'm like, Okay, don't be

0:49:09.400 --> 0:49:11.800
<v Speaker 1>mad at the motherfucking polish if we out there commit

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:14.799
<v Speaker 1>the same exactly what That's what I'm saying. It's like

0:49:14.800 --> 0:49:17.440
<v Speaker 1>we're doing the same ship. So, like I said, eight, James,
