And you 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.400 can look at him and tell but you never know 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:15.159 what these kids, Man, that he was involved in the game. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.880 You know what I'm saying. He was hanging with game members. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.000 His mama didn't know really, but I think we all 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.040 know something that's going on. You can't avoid it if 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.040 you in the city like that. Some can some k 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:32.200 so uh, he got involved in the situation that went bad, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:38.400 and you know he lost his LFE behind it. Um, 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.520 it's a cool thing where you don't know what your 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.000 family members out there doing, and all these little guys 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:48.360 trying to emulate other people, feeling that the gang is 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:53.640 gonna gonna give you everything you need. Man, it don't 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.760 give you. It don't get you none of that. There's 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.600 only two places we go. We either get killed or 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.359 we go to prison. Some of us lucky, some of 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.719 us not, and all of us are not gonna be lucky. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.760 So just with all of that, and and you know, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:12.960 all my other family members just having health issues. Man, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.279 I don't see no end into it right now. So 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.440 we're at that age where a lot of our aunts 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.520 and uncles are at the age where to the last 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.599 chapter of their lives. Man, you know. So, I mean 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:29.360 once you get into your late forties, early fifties, all 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.680 your aunts and uncles are in their late sixties, seventies, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.560 and even eighties. And I mean I just lost my 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.800 uncle in Puerto Rico. Uh, he just turned ninety and 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.279 he passed from a stroke. So you know, this is 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.080 a guy that that's a good life though. Yeah, he 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.240 lived ninety years, born in nineteen twenty nine. He just 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.920 out in two thousand nineteen. But still I was just 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.520 with him a few months before that and he was 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.080 walking around and everything was good. You know what I'm thinking, Man, 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.640 this guy got another ten years left. He don't make 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.719 it to a hundred and then boom a few months 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.440 later he had a stroke and passed, so I had 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.839 to fly back out there. So yeah, man, I think 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.040 it's just a function of our age and the age 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.080 of the people that we grew up with, because they're 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.320 they're all gonna be five years older than us. How 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:15.160 old was sixty six and today is her birthday. She 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.320 died on her birthday, and the code thing about it 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.400 is her birthday is February PIF. My brother birthday is 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.040 February to PIF, And we haven't show the twins in 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.480 our family that birthday is falls on the fifth two 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.360 and this is how they have to celebrate their birthday. 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.560 I mean, you know, I couldn't celebrate my brother's birthday 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.400 because man, I lost my auntie today, you know what 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.040 I'm saying. And her birthday is today, so it's it's 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.880 it's just crazy. So just trying to be strong and 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.040 beat it from my uncle, and you know the way 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.840 he was just breaking down and and you know, and 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.360 trying to show his strength. You know what I'm saying, 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.560 All of them that my uncle, Chris morncle Dinnis, you know, 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.440 they were just coming in and and and couldn't take it. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.480 You know what I'm saying. I mean when I walked 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.800 in there, I didn't I thought that was to your 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.920 sugar mama laying on the floor. I didn't even know 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.280 that was heard. And I walked straight and then went 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.600 into the bathroom. Then come out, it's it's her down there. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:22.120 So it was it was, it was, it's crazy. All right. Well, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.120 let's get right into this episode. Let's just start off 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.240 with a couple of fact checks from last from last 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.280 week week. We had m C eight. We had m 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:31.840 C eight on the show last week, and a lot 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.200 of people love that episode. If you haven't heard that episode, 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.920 that's episode forty three. That's just last week's episode, So 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.320 go ahead and check that out on all the different 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.880 podcast platforms. But and also there's one clip of that 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.320 interview on Digital Soapbox Network for people that they haven't 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.199 checked it out. But last week we were talking about 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.240 iced Tea and I think he said iced Tea was 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.400 from New York. I mean a lot of times people 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.439 say iced Tea from New York, but technically he's from Newark, 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.080 New Jersey. I think everybody knows that, but people just 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.600 say New York. It's Newark, New Jersey is right next 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:11.600 to New York and um, well one is on one 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.800 side of the river. Um New York is on the 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.920 east side of the river. But yeah, ice Tea was 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.959 actually born in Newark, New Jersey, so yeah, he has 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.360 that East Coast influence. Now, something that's interesting is that 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:27.240 um iceed teas first album came out in seven, but 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.160 somebody sent me a link to one of a forty 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.120 five song he recorded called the Coldest Rap on Saturn 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.520 Records pressed here in Los Angeles, that came out in 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.000 three and uh, I listened to that song. I had 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.360 never even heard of this song before. It sounds like 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.160 a cool, little like player song. I don't know if 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:49.800 I would call it gangster. I know you had you 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.400 had a tough day to day. So I know you didn't. 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.760 I sent you the link, but I know you didn't 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.439 have time to listen to it because I wanted to 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.880 ask you if you thought it was gangster. Maybe we'll 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.720 talk about it next week. But to me, it sounds 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.360 more like player, player, hustler than gangster. But the fact 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.160 that he had this song pressed and recorded the three 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.760 was impressive because I was like, damn, because Todd T, 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.880 the battom Ram five ice T pressed this song two 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:18.160 years before that. So I mean, we really got to 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.360 give our props to ice team. You heard him he gave. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:26.240 I mean those those were the uh the your your guys. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.120 That front man then was the ones that started this ship. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.920 So I mean you gotta give creditized T and all 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.800 of those cats. Just I mean he was doing it. Yeah, 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.440 he was doing it. So I mean, I can't check 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.160 that from him. I can't check them from him. He 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.080 did his thing. I ain't never heard that song. It's 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.439 crazy that So that song is actually older than the 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.000 gangster rap song that ice T says inspired him, which 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.280 is PSK by school ly D. That song came out 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.640 in eighty five, so he was actually he recorded even 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.160 prior to School ly D's albums. Was it just something 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.040 he was messing around with that didn't he were apparently 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.679 didn't put it out there. So was this something just 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:13.280 in the studio in the move, just messing around recorded 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.480 and all of a sudden, man, yeah, right behind the hill. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.640 But to do that in three that was pretty huge. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.920 Also last week I had asked, uh, um m c 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:31.400 A if if the tott T we know Totty T 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.280 grew up in the same neighborhood as m c A did. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.680 That's Tracknew But I had asked some where did Spade 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.679 grow up? And he had asked, uh, when his boys? 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.520 That was off Mike. When you watched the episode, you 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.880 can't hear the answer, but I believe homeboys said he 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.439 was from One five One Spade is from one, Totty 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.440 T was from Track neew And I'm not saying that 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.760 they were gang members bary the way everybody. I'm just 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.240 saying these are the neighborhoods that they grew up in. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.760 I don't know if Toddy T ever banged. I don't 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.000 know if Spade ever banged. I know I knew they 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:05.640 grew up in Compton in different neighborhoods. So um, yeah, 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.720 Spade Spades grew up over there in one five one, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.679 which would be way on the other side of Compton 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.640 from where you grew up, the way on the other side. Like, 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.640 what's wrong with them both being from different neighborhoods and 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.400 linking up and doing stuff together. That's something that people 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.199 should have been looking at a long time ago. How 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.520 they click and they live and we live over here 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.640 and he live over here. If there was game bangage, 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.240 it would have been even better. Yeah, these cats find 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.800 a way to make money. They wouldn't know this the 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.520 bs They did that to make money. I mean, but 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.160 I'm not sure if they um if Spade was actually 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.400 banging r tidd t was But but it's either or 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.719 whether there was or wasn't. They live in different neighbor neighborhoods. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.439 Guilty by association for most people, you know what I'm saying. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.560 But to to be able to hook up and then 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.480 make music together, and do they think I mean, like 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.120 MC said, they wouldn't put the Who Has Done on 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.440 wax Dead? Yeah, you know what I'm saying. They were 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:08.800 just making music alrighty, So um, we got a couple 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.640 of things in the news. I wanted to talk about 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.240 about a couple of weeks ago. And this is something 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.880 that everybody who grew up in the streets of Los Angeles, Compton, 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.520 Watts Long Beach, we already know this, but not every 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.520 person that a police officer says is a gang member, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.640 it's really a gang member. And I'm talking about one 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.880 of the stories that I wanted to cover that was 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.839 in the l A Times, it was in k t 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.520 l A News, it was pretty much all over the 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.000 local news. But it turns out that the l A 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:42.960 p D is identified twenty police officers that have been 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.600 identifying non gang members has gang members. They've been doing 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.280 that for years. Years they've been doing and what they 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.600 do when they started doing that, I think it was 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.560 like eight one what they was doing it before them. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.040 But when they when they started doing us like that, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.240 they would get the camera, they would get their little 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.720 cute cards and they had to have a file on 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.679 everybody that walked or played on that block. And they 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.800 were just youngsters, and they was getting you and then 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.559 getting your name and to identify you. So what they 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.120 did is they didn't just keep those cards for like 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.680 personal they put you in oss and the gang pod. 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.600 You know what I'm saying. So now you labeled as 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.800 a gang member, whether you liked it or not, just 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.520 because you lived over here. So pretty much once again 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:34.240 guilty by association, and that pretty much ruined a lot 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.480 of cats that was, you know, moving out and going 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.080 to college or or trying to get a job at 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.120 the time. I mean, it wasn't good, but that's how 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.000 they identify you. That's how they put that teller. Now 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.240 you just mentioned like the little card that they have 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.920 um in court. They call that the f I card, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.240 the Field Interview card, and that's very important. That card 0:14:55.320 --> 0:15:00.720 is very important because prosecutors used those cards, those cards everywhere. Yeah, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.880 they follow you everywhere. So when a cop puts on 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.440 the card self admitted gang member, what that cop is 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.920 saying is, oh, the homie already told me he's from 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.000 the set. Now when I get a case and I 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.320 talked to the dude, say all right, we got all 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.320 these five cards, just says you said, self admitted. The 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.640 guy will tell me I never told that, said you 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.520 don't have to tell the police. That the police is 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.680 gonna do what they want to do, and that's that's 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.480 their way of getting you. You know what I'm saying. Now, 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.960 once they fill out their court, I ain't did nothing 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.520 in ten years. You don't think they would take that 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.400 card and say this could just do that game banging. No, 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.560 that cart stays with you until you you get old 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.680 and you move and come back to visit the who 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.760 you you considered from Paru or Hoover or whatever. And 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.400 they just do it like that. Well, that's a huge 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.600 problem for kids who don't bang, who are now putting 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:58.080 this database now you're entered into Now anytime that that 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.600 gang comes up, your name is to come up at 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.880 somebody of interest. It's just somebody. It's just it's just 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.200 a way to keep tabs on who's who, you know 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.280 what I'm saying, regardless of what you're doing or how 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.520 you doing it. And and and that's how they identify people. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.640 That's how they get you in in in the system. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.760 That's how they get you. And it's just all the 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.240 set up. And they've been doing it for years and 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.120 and ain't nobody ever complained about it. You know what 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.640 I'm saying. They used to do us like that, Like 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.960 I mean, every time you see like the rookies, they 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.000 here getting all their names and all this and then 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.280 take a picture and they have a picture. They have 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.880 your name, they have your mother, they know everything. You 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.520 know what I'm saying. Back then, we didn't know no better, 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.080 and you gave it up. But that that card right 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.640 there hunts you forever. Now. I was reading the article 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.360 and my boys skipped Townsend was quoted in there saying 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.640 that I like, I like that l ap D Chief 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.000 More didn't hide it, he didn't put it under the 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.680 rug um. This is the exact same thing that's been 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.720 happening twenty years ago, and it's never went away. It 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.879 became normal to officers over the years, so at this 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.040 point they're comfortable with it, basically lying. It may not 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.560 be policy, but it's certainly the LPDS practice. And I 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.280 ain't gonna say all of them, because there was some 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.360 good ones out there that that that patrolled the knighthood, 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.479 that that we said back and talked to. You know, 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:29.000 they chop it up. But the majority of them when 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:33.320 they come through there, the gang unit like Graves and Jackson, 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.280 them type of myers when they came through, that's all 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.120 I was looking for, you know, Like I remember when 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.520 they was just trying to do cops in the eighty 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:46.679 two and uh, they came out with with the camera 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.480 crew and all that and just trying to get my 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.800 fuckers to play that part. We didn't do it because 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.119 you're putting everybody out there and they didn't want the 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.720 bandanas on your pace. The whole nine. A lot of 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.479 the ship that they do today we helped them create 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.560 because we went along with half of that bullshit. We 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.320 didn't know how to shut the funk up when he 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.560 asked for your name and do all of that ship 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:09.919 you would you would get your ass whoop if you 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.720 didn't give up your name. So the odges against you 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.560 at the beginning. But yeah, they tactics. It was a 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.240 month back there, man. Now what do you think about 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.520 the l a p d Chief Chief more admitting to 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.240 this problem and saying, we're gonna get to the bottom 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.080 of this problem. Um, should we trust his investigation into this? 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.560 He has he has already benched twenty police officers. He 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.720 put them to death death duty. Well, I guess it's 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.280 like a demotion when you got death duty. Until they 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:45.800 investigate all of these cards and these false admissions, not 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.760 only investigate them, but investigate the cases that they dealt 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.280 with the people that they arrested under post peace chesses 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.800 because when you start lying, you you you go, you 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.159 know how to lie. And we've seen in in on 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:04.400 this phone where these cops man put dope on you. 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:05.840 You know what I'm saying. There's a lot of brothers 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.320 in prison for that. These cops, everybody, they are just 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:15.560 like us. They're born to to want to be feel 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.520 a certain kind of weight. They gazes and thugs too. 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.600 In regardless of what I'm glad you're saying that, are 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.040 they going to get what I would get for lying 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.520 on the police officers and putting his ship in gevity? No, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.480 they're not gonna get that. There ain't no justification for what. Look, 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.160 if Chief Moore is gonna keep it real, what these 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:43.200 officers did was lie on an official police document. Now, 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.399 if we went to the police department and filed a 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.280 false report, we would get arrested in charge with a 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.879 felony filing a false report. That's what these police officers. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:56.359 They filed false reports. They should all be fired and 0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:00.000 they should be at look, at least at whatever jail time. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.760 I'm filling a fall full support once. I don't know 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:07.719 if that's she y'all. Just y'all try to stretch the 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.560 surface of it. If if a police officer commit any 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.320 type of pride, even if it's a small one as 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.560 as lying on the gun, and I don't even think 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.399 that small, lying on the report, he should never be 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.800 a police officer again. He shouldn't get no benefits for 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.480 being a police officer again. If you can commit the 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.920 same crime I get and get a slap on the wrist, 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:32.520 I shouldn't go to jail. Why they're fucking doing that, 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:34.840 you know what I'm saying that then everybody is well, 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.000 I think they should know funk that. Take them, lock 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:41.360 their ass up because you are here the servant protect. 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.440 Once you violate that, you violate my rights and everything else. 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.400 Why are you being a cricket cop? You go against everything, 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.639 ethnic codes, the whole nine. So why should you be 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.760 allowed uh to sit at the destance still deal and 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.199 do police work. You shouldn't be. You shouldn't be. You 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:04.679 should be at home and the motherfuckering unemployment office lad Well, 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.000 they still gotta investigate. I don't expect the chief to 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.400 fire them on the spot because maybe one or two 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.160 of them are getting are innocent you know what I'm saying. 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.000 And if they if they if they put them on 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.119 the desk, they know something, They're they're part of something. 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.560 And and it's just too much slapping on the risk man. 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.520 And and we don't even we didn't even paying attention 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.640 to it. We allowed this ship to happen, and they're 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.560 letting these motherfuckers get off. The police is just like me, 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:34.240 your motherfucking criminal. And if I sucked up, you'll be 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:38.600 wanting justice. So everybody should be wanting justice. I'm so 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.080 glad that this story came out in because in court 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:46.719 I've actually testified where I said that I don't believe 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.920 the information on these FI cards are accurate. I think 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.520 this information is false. So what is it you see 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.920 on them cards that that get your eyes when they 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:59.280 say self admitted gang member? And then I talked to 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.000 the client himself and he tells me I never had 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.480 a conversation with that cop. And when he tells and 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.760 I'm looking at him and he's sincere as heck, but 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.159 he's telling me I never even said a word to 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.240 that cop. But the cops says, oh yeah, I talked 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:11.920 to him and he told me he's from such and such. 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.159
