The home was known 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: to police as a safe house for drug users. 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: All of these people, mister Drayton was living at the 17 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 2: home at Lumbobo Drive. This was a place they It 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: wasn't really a drug house, but it was a place 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: where people that got their drugs would go, and they 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: thought they were safely doing their drugs in that home 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: instead of being on the streets. Our narts was aware 22 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: of it, but they were really weren't any selling going 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: on in their uniform patrol. They had been over and 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: tried to make some of the rest into privacy own home. 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: We don't really have a right to go in there 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 2: and do anything, but it was just basically a safe 27 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: having for them. 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: Well.

These were sons, they 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: were friends, they were brothers, they were dads, and they 37 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: were unjustly taking from us. If you want to argue 38 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: with that, let's go talk to their laws and dads. 39 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: Let's go talk to their sons. Let's go ask the children, 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: and putting this guy in doesn't make everything better in 41 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: these families.
