He said, somebody just said they choked him. 49 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: That daddy got choked out on Bay Street. So me, 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm thinking, okay, he got arrested again. 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Let me just go sit outside, keep my phone on 52 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: so he's gonna call me, bail him out, whatever the 53 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: case may be. I get on the front bench and 54 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: now my phone is ringing, and it's ringing numbers that 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: I've never seen before. So I'm like hello. They're like, Pinky, 56 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: you need to get down here quick. Your husband's not breathing. 57 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: So I'm like what. They're like, he's not breathing. They're 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: trying to revive him, they're working on him or whatever. 59 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, So I call a cab. By 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: the time the cat app got there, I got another 61 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: phone call that said go straight to the hospital because 62 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: they just put him in an ambulance. So in my mind, 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying, okay, probably had to askma attack. So they're 64 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: gonna take him to the hospital. I shoot over to 65 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the hospital. But as I'm riding to the hospital, the 66 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: tids start to flow, because after you're married to somebody 67 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: for so long, it's like a kindred spirit, you know, 68 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: so you know when something's wrong. And I said to 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: my girlfriend, I said, he's no longer here with us, 70 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: and she said, Pinky, don't say that. That's my nickname. 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: Don't say that, you know. Let's just wait till we 72 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: get to the hospital. So when I get to the hospital, 73 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: they lead me all the way around to this little 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: room that just had a desk and a phone. And 75 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: I said to her, I said, it's a rap, just 76 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: like that, and she said, don't say that. So now 77 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm asking questions like where is he? What's going on? 78 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: They're not telling me nothing. So now I get ghetto. 79 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: I start kicking the door. I start banging, you know what. 80 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying, like like, let me know something. You have 81 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: me in limbo. I don't know if he's dead alive, 82 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: you're working on him. What's going on? They're like, oh, 83 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna talk to you. In five minutes. If them 84 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: five minutes went on for two hours. I was sitting 85 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: in that room, so I said. I said to my girlfriend, 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: I said, Linda, I'm going outside to smoke a cigarette. 87 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: But I really wasn't. I was going outside to go 88 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: around to the emergency exit and entrance and going through 89 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: that way since they wouldn't let me in through the 90 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: two locked doors. But as I'm walking that way, guard 91 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: must have been with somebody that day because Uncle Larry 92 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: intervened and was like, where are you going? I said, 93 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: Uncle Larry'm going to smoke a cigarette. They're not telling 94 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: me nothing. I need to know something. We turned back 95 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: around and walked back. By the time we got back 96 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: to the double doors, I see all these doctors coming 97 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: toward me. So I'm like, okay, here we go. They 98 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: come through the doors. They looked at me. There was like, oh, 99 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: the family of Eric garn So I said him right here, 100 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm his wife, and they just looked at me and said, oh, 101 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: we did everything we could, but we couldn't save him. Basically, 102 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: I kind of blacked from like that moment until I 103 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: don't even know how I got home. You know, they 104 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: let me go in and see him for a few minutes. 105 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: I remember that. And then when I left, I got 106 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: home and you know, of course I was destroyed, and 107 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: my son was playing basketball and I saw one of 108 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: his friends and I said, could you do me a favor? 109 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Can you go up the block and tell my son 110 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: I need him to come home like a sad don't 111 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: say anything, because by that time, everybody on the block 112 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: bro so I was trying to keep them from knowing 113 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: before I could tell him. So he finally comes down 114 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: the block and he's walking towards me, and I said, 115 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: come here. I call him boy because he was the 116 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: first boy after four girls. So I said boy, and 117 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: he said yes mine. I said, um, your dad went 118 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: to the hospital and make it. And he just like 119 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: his whole ora just he had just won the championship 120 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: game at that, you know, so his whole orage just changed. 121 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: And he just went in the house and I said, 122 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: you are right, and he was like yeah, but I 123 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: knew he wasn't. And then I called the rest of 124 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: my children and they all came out to Staten Island 125 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: and then we just you know, we sat there and 126 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: cried and everything for a few hours. And then I 127 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: see breaking news splash across the screen. I didn't know 128 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: they had a video at that the first time I 129 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: saw the video. What are they telling you initially? How 130 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: did they say that initially before the video that he 131 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: had a heart attack, which I knew was BS. And 132 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: what was so crazy is that he was his intentions 133 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: was to do this last run and he was in 134 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: the line for his sside. So the next day he 135 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: had a doctor's appointment to complete everything that you need 136 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: to do to get you know, SSID, you know, disability 137 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: or whatever. And it was just was the video released 138 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: that It wasn't until a couple of days later, or 139 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: was it that same day? It was the same the 140 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: same day. I only saw up to like the second 141 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: I can't breathe. And then my kids were like, no, man, 142 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: because they had seen it. But they was like, man, 143 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: you don't need to see I still haven't seen pass 144 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: Uh the I can't breathe, I haven't seen you know, 145 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: anything after that. I just can't watch it. It's like 146 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: and then every time that something happens with the police, 147 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: it's like they're using his video as an example, but 148 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: you have no compassion that I'm actually watching my husband 149 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: die over and over and over again, and it's just 150 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking. Like now I'm at least able to speak 151 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: about it without breaking down because I'm so tired of crying. Like, yeah, 152 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: but when it get but you know when it when 153 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: it happens, it just seems like everything during that day 154 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: and everything they did was wrong, from the choke in 155 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: to the paramedics to everything. It just seems like it 156 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: just The thing that's so crazy is that my husband 157 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: was a peacemaker and he was the type you know 158 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: how it was back in the day, don't don't make 159 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: no noise on this corner because you know what you're 160 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: bringing attention to, you know what I'm saying. So he 161 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: was always breaking up the fights with the drunks and 162 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: the homeless and stuff like that, and that day he 163 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: just broke up a fight. You know, he didn't make 164 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: a sale. They never saw any money being transferred, They 165 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: never saw anything. They really had no probable cause to 166 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: even say anything to it. And it was cigarettes, they said, right, cigarettes, Right? 167 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: Did you ever feel the need to speak out to 168 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: tell people who the real Eric Gona was because you know, 169 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: they're bringing his police record sale He got arrested this 170 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: many times. Yes, I've done plenty of interviews, and I've 171 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: told them all the same thing. He was a gentle giant. 172 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: You know, he was a good guy. He just he 173 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: didn't know any other way to take care of me 174 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: and six children. You know, he needed more than minimum waves, 175 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, because of the way he was raised. You know, 176 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: his mom had a good job, they lived in the house. 177 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: You know, he had a very privileged life, you know. Um, 178 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: and I guess he wanted the same for his children 179 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: and knew that, you know, a regular job just wasn't 180 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: gonna do it. And the police officers weren't familiar with him. 181 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the community. They didn't He wasn't a 182 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: violent Hers asked us. We'd be going to the nine 183 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: nine sense store and they behave cigarette guy, or sometimes 184 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: they would see me without him and say, hey, cigarette lady. 185 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: Exact eric was. There wasn't no need for them to 186 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: jump out the window the way they did, because none 187 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: to whatsoever. Because as you know, he's been arrested a 188 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: whole lot of times, never once for resisting arrest. You know, 189 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: when he came out that you guys got a settlement 190 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: would bother me so much. It was like they agreed 191 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: to give you a settlement, but they still didn't prosecute 192 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: any of the police officers yet. Yes, that's why we 193 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: had marching rally, because the federal government can prosecute. You 194 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: gotta remember me. They acquitted the cops with Rodney King, 195 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: and we got the federal government to come in and 196 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: those cops were convicted. Abner Louimo, justice from federal government 197 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: came in. Those cops were still in jail. So and 198 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: I know Nash actually networking. I were involved and leading 199 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: on both of them. So we never thought that the 200 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: state and Allen Grand jury was going to indict because 201 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: a DA works with the cops. You got to have 202 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: an outside entity that does not have a conflict of 203 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: interest to deal with that. So that's why we had 204 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: the big march over the weekend, and that's why we 205 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: are continuing. You know, the day this happened and the 206 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: mother of called us in Nash action. Nework. I was 207 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: in divided during the voter rights stuff. So when I 208 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: got to call Cynthia Davis, who heads out Staton Island office, 209 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: I said, we'll have Kidston for or Kevin McCall, some 210 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: of the young guys I have on staff that we're 211 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, push you out there, let them handle. 212 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: She said, no, you need to see this video. Run. 213 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: I said, y'all know how to do this. I'm in 214 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: divided with the office here, and when I saw the video, 215 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: I took the Red Eye back and help them through 216 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: the funeral and all that. And fact Emerald works on staff, 217 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: not in Nash Action. They were because what people don't 218 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: realize when a policeman has a question or issue, his 219 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: union provides him with lawyers, funds, helps as kids. If 220 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: they needed all of that, they have an institution. If 221 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: you don't have an institution like Nashal Action Network, would 222 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: we do to fight an institution? What are they supposed 223 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: to do on their own? How do they deal with 224 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: legal and media and kids and all of that. So 225 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: the media tries to humanize those of us in the 226 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: movement and praise the unions. We're to counterbalance to the 227 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: unions saying you want to fight, We're rull in to 228 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: fight and we'll put our resources and we don't want 229 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: nothing out of us setting or a nothing because this 230 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: is what we do. But for the law to not 231 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: protect the civil rights, which is a federal issue of 232 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: Eric Gardner is where we are now. So those police 233 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: are not Scott free. Money is not justice. Money is 234 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: just dealing with the laws. Justice is they need to 235 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: have to be accountable for what they did. Like what 236 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: you just said toever now you said, because a lot 237 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: of people do try to discredit you, and they you know, 238 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: they like you said, you're an ambulance chasing you. You 239 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: know you're there for the money and things like that. Well, 240 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: first of all, they will tell you we've given money, 241 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: paid for the funeral. I don't want to dimeback. Nash 242 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: As never doesn't get a dimeback. And we're not ambulance chases. 243 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: We're an ambulance they called us. I've never been involved 244 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: in a case that we will not call never. And 245 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: but you have to ask yourself, why do they spend 246 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: so much time just credited any of us to come 247 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: out there because they want to keep things the same way. 248 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: Isn't it funny you've never heard a victim coming for 249 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: and said, well, real, MAO made us give and we've 250 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: got millions of dollars with you. You never heard none 251 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: of them say that. It's always your attackers and your haters. 252 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: And I can't feel bad they do it in Presente 253 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: Nite sticks if they asked Obama for his birth certificate, 254 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: they were sure, I ask me for anything. That One 255 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: of the main issues I feel like that has to 256 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: be her pelis when all this happens. Everyone has seen 257 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: the video and felt like, well, you know, something has 258 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: to happen because we see what they did was wrong. 259 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: And then they are demonizing Eric Garner and that has 260 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: to really hurt because you're like, I know him, I 261 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: know what, he didn't do anything wrong in this case. 262 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: Why are they making him out to be such a 263 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: terrible person because they have to make excuses for what 264 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: they did, you know, they have to make it seem 265 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: like he was a menace, Like yeah, but you know, 266 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: it's the prior history why he was targeted that day, 267 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, it wasn't about what 268 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: he did that day, it was what he did for 269 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: the five years leading up to that day. You know, 270 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: he caused a lot of officers to be investigated. Yab, 271 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: he had officers transferred out of the one two old. 272 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: He would always make noise. They wanted him to shut up, 273 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: they wanted him you know, they would take his money 274 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: and voucher it and then give him a hard time 275 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: giving it back, you know what I'm saying. So he 276 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: was tired of that, you know, he was tired of 277 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: them harassing him. If you notice, he said, it stops today. 278 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Y'all are gonna leave me alone, one way or the other. 279 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: And what hurts me the most is that two days 280 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: before that, like we had just come home from a 281 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: family reunion that weekend. I have the picture in my 282 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: phone that we took the last picture of him alive, 283 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: three days before he was murdered. And he it was 284 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: like they couldn't stop him, you know, because he knew 285 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: the Lord. You know, he was one of them that 286 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: were going jail and sitting Lord library and earned every 287 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: little you know, every little detail. So he knew that 288 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: New York State Lord um allows a person to have 289 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: two cartons on your person. You're allowed to have three 290 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: cartons in your house, five up to five in your house. 291 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: So the reason he had the three packs could have 292 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: been able I smoke a lot. He could have said, 293 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: I bought these for my wife. You know, these are 294 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: my wife's cigarettes. They didn't see him make a sale. 295 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: They just know the history, and they were so angry 296 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: that he would pay the fine and get right back 297 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: out there, or he would do a little bit of time, 298 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: a couple of days and get right back out there. 299 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But see opposition, and I've 300 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: said this in a fan from day one. If he 301 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: was dead wrong, yeah, you gotta look at we saw 302 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: the video. It is against police procedure to use a chokehold, 303 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: and he was dead wrong. The policeman used something against them. 304 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: If he was dead wrong, he said eleven times, I 305 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: can't breathe, So you don't have the right to keep 306 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: using a chokehold wrong. Let a man beg for his 307 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: life and you still do it and then leave him 308 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: laying there in the gutter. So as I've always felt 309 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: from day one with this that we don't have to 310 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: prove anything about him because you don't sell as a 311 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: guy today if he was selling cigarettes, if he was 312 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: wrong and all that, you sentenced him to death, or 313 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: you use something that's illegal to chokehold him, you let 314 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: him lay there. I mean, what are we talking about? 315 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: And he that is exactly why we questioned the grand jury. 316 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: What he just said, we saw the tape, Well what 317 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: did they see to say? The cop did nothing and 318 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: he saw the same tape we did. What happened in 319 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: the grand jury. Another thing that wanted to know. I 320 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: wanted to know, what don't you see that I see? 321 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: Because the world. Another thing that concerns me is the 322 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: young man that filmed everything Order Right Order. Now he's 323 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: he's upset and he's been thrown in jail and targeted 324 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: and had all these charges brought against him. That means 325 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: for somebody to fish two people, though it's not it was, 326 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: it was two people. I appreciate everything that Ramsey Order 327 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: has done, but with him being in the in the life, 328 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: you know, in the spotlight, as I should say, like me, 329 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: I can't go out and cut somebody out and slap 330 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: somebody because I'll be splashed across the news screen tomorrow. 331 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: So he should be more mindful of what he's doing, 332 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: knowing that he's being watched, but he should not be harassed. 333 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: The cash twenty two for us in term about Nash 334 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: Action Network is that if I helped him as I'm 335 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: doing the Family, they will then say that I'm trying 336 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: to tample with a witness. So I could not come 337 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: to him. I would love to do a lot for him, 338 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: but then they do last thing they want the first 339 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: thing they want. Old Red Mall was giving him something. 340 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: That's why he testified a certain way. So we had 341 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: to keep our distance there to protect the case, which 342 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: is still pending with the federal Justice the party still 343 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: see those police officers.

I was going one because I'm three 348 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: blocks away from the precinct. My kids have asthma, so 349 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: if anything happens, you call nine one one. Those would 350 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: be the officers that would come to my rescue. I 351 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: was just telling um the young man out front. Um, yeah, 352 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: that day before yesterday, I was one hundred and twenty 353 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: fifth Street, and you know, the traffic was really slow, 354 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: and we passed by these two female African American officers 355 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: and they actually reached in the passenger side of the 356 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: car and said to me, do you have your seatboat on? 357 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: I had my seatboat on, I just had it under 358 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: instead of across my chest. But what gives you the 359 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: right to reach in the car, and you know, and 360 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: then she sees my shirt because I had my husband 361 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: shirt on, you know, because the one year I just passed, 362 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: so I've been wearing the shirt. And she goes, oh, well, 363 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: all officers aren't bad. And I looked at her and 364 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: I said, well, I thought you were gonna drag me 365 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: out the corn and choke me like female. And and 366 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: don't forget, it was two of the three cops that 367 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: killed Sean Bell were black, So I mean it's not 368 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: that we deal with only white cops. We deal with 369 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: police if they wrong, well one of the things. And 370 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: that's why I'm so happy that that, uh, we have 371 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: her on staff, working without other young people because a 372 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: lot of young people that want to get involved don't 373 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: know what to do.

But I grew up in 463 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: the movement and I was trained by guys that do 464 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: that that have now I've been able to build nash 465 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: actually nowhere. That's how you do that. There's a lot 466 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: of injustices. That's why we want people to be able 467 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: to go to the site. And there's a lot of 468 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: young people out there that want to express themselves, and 469 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: that's why we're pushing this. And that's why we like 470 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: to have people like Emerald and them who have lived it, 471 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: because they can feel that they understand it because they've 472 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: lived this. Not the money, the five point nine million dollars. 473 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: Can you ever really enjoy that money? I'm gonna keep 474 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: it a hunted Yeah, I could enjoy it. I'd rather 475 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: have had it and enjoyed it with him. You would 476 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: give it all up to bring him. I would give 477 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: it up in a heartbeat to have my husband back. 478 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: We were married twenty eight years and I'm not gonna 479 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: say it was perfect by a long shot. But he 480 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: was perfect for me and I was perfect for him. 481 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: There you go, well made you accept the money after 482 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: turning it down initially. That's another misconception. I never I 483 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: never knew nothing about the money I was.

Well, you know, 562 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: years ago Donald Trump and I clashed over the Central 563 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: Park Jogga kids when they arrested and charged those young guys. 564 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: One of the grandmothers of one of the kids that 565 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: they had to let go, Briscoe was his name, had 566 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: called us and we went in and I don't know, 567 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: Trump was the one that bought the full page ads 568 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: calling the wolf packs, and we marched on him and 569 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't think he ever got over that. Since then, 570 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: we've been all right, not all right. I see him 571 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: at Tyson fights. I've been to his office back and forth, 572 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: but every time he get a shot, he would. Since 573 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: he's been talking about President Obama, I've been like all 574 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: in on my TV show and Nan and all of that. 575 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: So he's bad thinskin. He's like a bully. He cannot 576 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: take a punch. You can. He can talk about everybody, 577 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: but when you attack him, he just loses it. You 578 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: see what he's doing other Republicans. He got up, he 579 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: gave out one of his cell phone, right, So yeah, 580 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: that he's thinkin and me knowing that, I just keep 581 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: going at him because I you know, I learned as 582 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: a kid, if you keep stroking a bully, he's gonna 583 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: beat himself. You don't even have to fight. And that's 584 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: what's happening with Johnny Love. What you said, I thought 585 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: you said. You said he's an apollo acting Lincoln Center. Yeah, tonight. 586 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: James Brown is like my father. And James Brown told 587 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: me the first time I went to Vegas with him, 588 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: I was about nineteen to twenty. He said, it's a 589 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: difference between a lounge jack and somebody played the main room. 590 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: I said, what you mean? He said, in the lounge, 591 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: you got to compete with the you know, people drinking 592 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: the Bob, the Bob maids, the gambling. He said, in 593 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: the main room, people are sitting there eating dinner. They 594 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: bring their wives, So you gotta have choreography, rehearsed, show polished. 595 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: He said, you do whatever you gotta do an the 596 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: lounge to get attention. You're competing with so much other stuff. 597 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: He said, Revin, when you do your lounge jack to 598 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: get to the main room, he said, do what you 599 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: gotta do. But when you're in the main stage, you 600 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: got to really be good. And I think Donald Trump 601 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: doesn't understand. You run for president. Now, you're not cutting 602 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: a real estate deal on the West Side. He's bringing 603 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: an unpolished act to send the stage. Run for president. 604 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: When I ran for president, I had to talk policy. 605 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: What was I gonna do about the one I rat? 606 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: What was I gonna do about healthcare? He is up 607 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: there talking about other people take a shore. Would you 608 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: be run for president? Attacking me? It shows that you 609 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: don't know what you are dealing with, which is why 610 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: the same pole that says he's number one to twenty 611 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: four percent, sixty two percent of those people said, but 612 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can vote him for president 613 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: because they can't imagine him really running the free world. 614 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: Hen he's ben attained, but we don't want him to 615 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: run for president. But he ain't saying what I wanted 616 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: to say, getting it off a chest. But I really 617 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: don't want him in charge. Yeah, because that makes me nervous. 618 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: He see many people that are for him. I'm like 619 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: that he's dig down. In that poll, sixty two percent 620 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: said they wouldn't vote for him for president. But the 621 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: good news is he's distracting from the other guys. So 622 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: so I mean, he's just he has destroyed them. The 623 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: other problem he's got is I don't know how he's 624 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: come back and how he comes back in the business. 625 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: He's lost, what I say, media context. Soon he's not 626 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep his name up on building. 627 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: He's killing his own brand rights. I like that he's 628 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: like a reality TV star who's trying to be on 629 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: a sitcom. Now, all these dudes who funny on Instagram, 630 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: when you put them on things do a real fandom show, 631 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: they can't make every I love that. I love that. 632 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna use that. I'm gonna be like a Baptist preacher. 633 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: I give you credit the first time, second time you 634 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: also said to you, said that Donald Trump is wasting 635 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: people's time. But he said, you said, when you ran 636 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: for president, you knew he wasn't gonna win, but you 637 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: wanted to further. Can you you run for two reasons, 638 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: to win or for a cause. I wanted to make 639 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: sure that things like criminal justice, things like why were 640 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: y'all cutting? Things like summer jobs and youth programmed things 641 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: that a president needs to deal with. On the other 642 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: side of America was in those debates, and I think 643 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: what shocked them is you gotta remember I ran against 644 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: John Kerry, who was now the Secretary of State. I 645 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: ran against Lieberman, I ran against the governor a flu 646 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: People never thought I'd get on that stage in debate 647 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: and keep up with them, and in many cases when 648 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: the debate, but I knew if the cause would be 649 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: hurt if I got up there embarrassed everybody. And Donald Trump, 650 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: rather than rise to the occasion, has lowered the standard. 651 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: And I think that if you sincere about the cause, 652 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: you understand that you've got to do what you got 653 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: to do, even if it makes me uncomfortable. I liked 654 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: acting the way I acted, but if I'm gonna be 655 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: about the cause if I'm gonna help the Gardeners, I 656 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: got to be able to present their case in a 657 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: way that can get results, not just air my anger.
