94
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,000

99
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: And as you guys come down here, I mean, it's

100
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120

101
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: down the road as we started with you, Cortez, You're

102
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: you're right there next as you see and support something

103
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: like this, as your son was shot as well, fifty

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: what was it, fifteen, fifteen years old, and you see

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: another family go through this and to support support something

106
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: like this. It's crazy that you find yourself supporting people

107
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: that you would never think you'd be going through in life.

108
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: And my heart goes out to you for that. First off,

109
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: But yours is a school shooting. It's a little different. Yeah,

110
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: well it's a little day still shooting organizations victimize people

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: for always few years now actually that we must qualify

112
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: the people, his family and the community, the whole world.

113
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: So I I knew, I knew I had to do something.

114
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: God was telling me I had to do something. And

115
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: if you don't stand up for something, you'll fall for anything.

116
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: So I started marching from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Washington, d C.

117
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: For the fifty seven commemoration speech to Dr Martin Luther

118
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: King and me and my cousin along with a lot

119
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: of a lot of other activists and people that were

120
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: just coming out from all over. UH marched from Minnesota

121
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin as well with Frank Nitty, uh too many,

122
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean to Washington, d C. And took us twenty

123
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: two days, eleven forty two miles. You walked that for

124
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: that much. And that was in August eight, which is

125
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: very recent. We're talking to me, this is this is

126
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: happening now. Yeah, yeah, So you know again I was like,

127
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, I took a stance. Um. I knew that

128
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: my community needed uh support. I knew my my community

129
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: needed a hero, uh leader, somebody to stand up for

130
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: these kids. Because the generations that you know after us

131
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: is what really matters. And the way that you know

132
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the world is set up right now is so much

133
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: hatred going on. We got to continue to spread love.

134
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, I took a stance in my life,

135
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: and you know that's where you know where I go

136
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: from there. So you know, I've been standing in solidity

137
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: with families and you know I always tell everybody, you know,

138
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: please don't let it be too late for it to

139
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: be your family out there or you know what I mean,

140
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: for you have to be out there screaming you need

141
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: some help for your family. You see brothers and sisters

142
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: out there marching and organizing and signing petitions. You stand,

143
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: you stand up for what's right. You know, right it's right,

144
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: and wrong it's wrong. So you know, it was very

145
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 1: unfortunate what happened to my to me and my family. Uh.

146
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, my son been stolen from us. Um. And

00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: whatever they want. The same judge only sentenced Kim Potter

308
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: to two years in prison for murdering Dante right for

309
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: no real you know what I mean, you murdered this

311
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: you're assuming. You know, they do these traffic stops, and

312
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: again they're supposed to be protecting the surfing. They have

313
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: all the equipment and tools that they need to do

314
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: their job. I think it's yeah, you know, it really

315
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: ended up ball down to like a few more months

316
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: in in prison, then the rest on house arrest, you

317
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So like this, this same judge

318
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: didn't even do the right thing for the family, you know,

370
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: what we're doing they're really in Minnesota. Uh is uh

371
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: something that a lot of states should probably start picking

372
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: up on. We're doing a lot of uh intervention interventing

373
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: our interventions, but police police in our own community where

387
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: you guys might not even align with me on this,

388
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, but I'm gonna stay because I believe this

389
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: is like I'm okay with cops, you know what I mean.

390
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: I don't have any like real now bad cops I

391
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: got a problem with and I have dealt with bad cops.

392
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: I grew up in very rough neighborhoods and I'm Hispanic.

393
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: First time I've ever had a gun on me was

394
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: from a cop. You know, I was pulled out of

395
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: my car. I shared with you guys the story, you know,

396
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: And and and I've been handcuffed by cops raight with

397
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: mace talking about who's the biggest gang in this neighborhood,

398
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, growing up, so I know all about it,

399
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, But I also believe, like you know, as

400
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: an adult right now, there's a purpose for for cops.

401
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: You know, if someone runs in my house, you know,

402
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: if I'm not gonna kill him, you know, I'm gonna

403
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: call and and and try to get you know, help,

404
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: right or or some your grandma's at home and she's like,

405
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: I need help. There's a purpose for that. But there's

406
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: also an abuse of you know, uhh, that's that's happened

407
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: many times. And and and then it goes back to

408
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: when you know, we had peaceful protesting on the streets.

409
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: It was looters in this and so the narratives have changed.

410
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: And I and the reason I say that because I

411
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: know Sending, I know his his action and I'm sitting

412
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: at home, you know, and I'm watching I'm like, look,

413
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna send it, you know, I'm looking at send it,

414
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, marching down the street with people and yeah,

415
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, it's not a protest. There's there's

416
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: violent you know whatever out there, and I'm kind of like,

417
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: this is I know these people, these dudes ain't violent.

418
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: They're not They're out there marching for for something, you

419
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: know that they believe it. Pray, Yeah, there wasn't. It

420
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: wasn't loose, you know. And then and then there was,

421
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: and then there was you know, some some crazy acts

422
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: that were going on, and those things are questionable to me.

423
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong. You know, you have people

424
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: in the hood that are gonna just, you know, let's

425
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: take advantage of this little quick opportunity. But I think

426
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: the majority of the people out there weren't trying to

427
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: do that. So when now all of a sudden, it

428
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: was almost like, is that staged? You know, because some

429
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: of the ship I wouldn't I want to say from

430
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: my heart, like, I do believe it was stage. I

431
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: believe some people are busting windows and doing stupid stuff

432
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: that we're like Okay, we got we gotta shut this down.

433
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: How are we gonna shut this down? Go busting windows

434
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: or to break and it's like all of a sudden,

435
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: you've got to random, dude that you can't see these

436
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: cracking a you know a thing with the skateboard, you know,

437
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: so it's undercover cop that put the gun out on solars.

438
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: We're doing that ship, you know. You know a lot

439
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: of them people were brought in from different places. You

440
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: know a lot of them. People were Maga fans. A

441
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: lot of them. People were police officers disguise, all in black,

442
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: wearing masks that looked like so they look like they're protesters.

443
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: They're coming out there with us. A lot of real

444
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: organizers and real leaders. We was telling people like them,

445
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: back away from us, Calm down, back away from us.

446
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: We're not doing none of that. We're not going to

447
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: be feeling none of that. That's not what we're doing.

448
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: We we see other people that's feeling that little don't

449
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: film that ship because that's not what we're doing right here.

450
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of they were pushing out a

451
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: lot of different narratives and what and trying to take

452
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: away from what was actually happening. We we needed we

453
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: demanded equality, we demanded answers, we demanded accountability, we demanded justice,

454
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: and that's what we were out there for. So, you

455
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: know what, what what happened As far as the looting,

456
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: we can't tell people, you know, how to how to

457
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: how you know what I mean, how to feel towards

458
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: this this uh, this rogue you know what I mean,

459
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: this rogue system that we're that we're chose to or

460
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to upholde that you know what I mean,

461
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to uphold. But uh, yeah, man, we

462
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: don't tell people how to protest. That's how they do it,

463
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's what they do. Guess and guess what

464
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: ended up happening. We ended up getting some type of

465
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: accountability in some type of shape or form of justice.

466
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: You know what. That happened in a long time. It

467
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: ain't happened in in in a long time. And ever

468
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: since when this happened to George Floyd, we've been getting

469
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: more and more, uh our holding needs. Are these officers

470
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: and these uh, these city officials accountable more and more

471
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: We're exposing them more and more. You have all types

472
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: of lives and phones and cameras. That's gonna they're getting

473
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: explo goals. Now, yeah, they're getting exposed and we're we're

474
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: putting the fire on them. Now. Senate you you had

475
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: mentioned some statistics Senate about and and it was I

476
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: think you and Jonathan you know, um Hernandez about um.

477
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: You know, like there's three people every day killed, you

478
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: know from it's one the cops killed over a thousand people.

479
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: So that's on average at least three people a day

480
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: are getting killed by the police. And they want to

481
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: talk about looters and stuff. During the protests, those protesters

482
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: were holding signs, water bottles, using social media to be like,

483
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: this is wrong when you brought the National Guard out

484
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: in every department to people who are demanding accountability and transparency,

485
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: and of course when everyone sees that it's all over

486
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: the news and you leave all the stores open, the

487
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: streets open. To me, it was a set up. They

488
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: did allow that to happen. People break into stuff. If

489
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: they saw one cop car and those parking lots, they

490
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: would have kept going. You see a cop car, you

491
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: keep moving. But when you bring every single officer that

492
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: exists to handle people holding signs, one transparency, using social

493
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: media saying this is who we are and we think

494
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: this is all wrong. George Floyd, Brianna Taylor. These are

495
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: hashtags up and uploaded millions of times. The people who

496
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: care about this, I want to say, we care, We

497
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: want to be public. It wasn't the the looters and

498
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: that was all distraction. And that's the media, you know.

499
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: Can you share with us your story, uh as well?

500
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: And just speaking on them writers and looters. I just

501
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: went to jail in Akron. I was I was targeted

502
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: by Akron police and I was treated like a rioter

503
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: and a looterer and I and I was out here

504
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: holding a megaphone, you know what I'm saying. So they

505
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: create that narrative um that protesters are writers and looters

506
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: and lawyers and thugs, you know what I'm saying. So,

507
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: and I'm an impact of families, uh, standing out there

508
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: in solidarity before jayen Walker family. And the only reason

509
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: we came out there is because we heard they was

510
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: being jailed after y'all, you know, tragically like shying seventies

511
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: six times, some bull How do you shoot somebody seventy

512
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: six times? Like that's crazy? And fired over ninety nine times?

513
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like, how is that justifiable?

514
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: So like these cops need to be smoking a little

515
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: more weird. You get these guys more weird. Every police

516
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: be smoking joint before you go on the force. I'd

517
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: rather you hit I'd rather you hit the wax part

518
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: and it didn't take another life. The police officer. You're like,

519
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: you can't be a coward. You can't be scared. You

520
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,120
