What an ego driven statement, Judge King. 53 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: You are a leader, and there are three rules of leadership. 54 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: The first rule of leadership is put your mission above 55 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: your ego. What were you trying to get across to 56 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: these kids on this field trip? What was your intention? 57 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: What was the mission? Because it sounds to me like 58 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: you was just flexing. You was just trying to showcase 59 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: your authoritie. Okay, you wanted them to respect you, but 60 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: clearly you're not able to gone and respect without that role, 61 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: that gaveling that bench. 62 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: Okay, you not to be played with. 63 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: No, you played yourself because I told you the first 64 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: rule of leadership. 65 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: Okay. 66 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: The second rule of leadership is if you don't care 67 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: about your people. They won't care about your mission. You 68 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: didn't care about that little girl. You don't know why 69 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: she kept falling asleep. 70 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: You have no idea. 71 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: She might be sixteen with a couple of younger siblings 72 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: and has to stay up all night watching them because 73 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 2: her single mother, her single mom. 74 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Is at work and can't afford the babysitter. 75 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: Hell, she might be sick and on some type of medication, 76 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: and the medication might be making her drowsy. I don't know. 77 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: My point is, Judge, you didn't even bother to find out. 78 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: You didn't care. 79 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: You just got offended because she kept falling asleep in 80 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: the courtroom and you wanted to show her you nothing 81 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: to play with.

You 94 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: traumatize this young girl simply because she was exhausted. If 95 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: her daddy catches you in the street and wants to fade, 96 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: you earn that. If her daddy and his brothers and 97 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: cousins catch you in the street and jump you, then 98 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: you earn that. Because there's no way in hell that 99 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: sixteen year old girl should be threatened with handcuffs into 100 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: jail uniform all because of your ego.
