It's a really simple concept. If 106 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: you live your life with the mindset don't do anything 107 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: to anyone that you wouldn't want. 108 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: Done, and you are someone you love, then you will 109 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: live a great life. 110 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: So that said, I want these cops to receive the 111 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: exact same energy in prison that they administered on the street. See, 112 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: if you ask me, this isn't the first time these 113 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: officers have done this. This is just the first time 114 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: they got caught and punished for it. I have no 115 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: problem with I for an eye dil though for a 116 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: dil do in this situation. 117 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: Okay, do you know what I for an eye means? 118 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: The principle of justice that requires punishment equal in kind 119 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: to the offense, not greater than the offense, as was 120 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: frequently given in ancient times. So if someone puts out 121 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: another's eye, one of the offender's eyes should be put out. 122 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: Now I've heard people say, IE for an eye makes 123 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 1: the whole world blind. 124 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: That is not true. The whole world will not be blind. 125 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: In fact, nobody would be blind if whatever you did 126 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: to someone got back done to you. I really believe 127 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: that people would move a little different, a lot different. 128 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 4: See. 129 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: What those members of the goon squad don't understand is 130 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: that it's all fun and games until the inmates got 131 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: the dial though. Okay, and listen, I see the comments 132 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: from social media sometimes and folks say, Charlamagne, you make 133 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: everything about race. It's usually white people saying that, and 134 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: I don't even get upset. I understand simply because race 135 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: doesn't really exist you because it has never been a barrier. 136 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Black folks don't have that choice. That's a quote from 137 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: a Nigerian writer's name who I cannot pronounce. 138 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 4: The tim Amanda and goziad say it.
