- 2:05[SPEAKER_09]: And we have 44 episodes or more in this year.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_09]: Last year, we went over the 100 mark.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_09]: I just missed marked it or, you know, numbered it wrong.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_09]: But nevertheless, I'm happy to continually be here giving you guys this information.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_09]: a lot of the research is done by the team here and our supporters and we get this information and we try to push it out to enlighten our community and let everyone know what's going on around the world.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_09]: Well, a lot of things have to take in place in the last four to five months and one
- 2:53[SPEAKER_09]: from going there and visiting and hanging out and Mississippi is one of them.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_09]: Florida is another place that I do not like going to because there's a lot of hanging out there.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_09]: There's a lot of police brutality in Mississippi and a lot of racism and I know people
- 3:18[SPEAKER_09]: from all that other nationalities, look at us and say, blacks are always talking about racism.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_09]: Blacks are always talking about why they're not being treated fairly.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_09]: Why is African-American people always complaining about society being against them?
- 3:43[SPEAKER_09]: I feel there's no need to answer that question because you see it blatantly.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_09]: in your everyday life.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_09]: If you don't stand up for something, you will fall for anything.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_09]: That's the same.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_09]: Costantly we have had people get executed and murdered whether young or old, and they have men or women or children of color.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if you, I remember the Red Hoodie.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if you, I remember what happened out in the,
- 4:18[SPEAKER_09]: Denver, Colorado, or I believe it was out Minnesota.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, Minnesota.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_09]: It is always incidents happening Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, of racism and people being prejudice or
- 4:46[SPEAKER_09]: But majority of the time, we ought to victims.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_09]: And the matter, if you wake up every morning and close your eyes to the facts and what you see or what you might hear, it happens at a high clip.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_09]: It's not being reported.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_09]: Things happen.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_09]: I only in France.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_09]: We had three African-American females drowned in the water in, I believe, in London.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_09]: A France.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_09]: I did a cover of that.
- 5:14[SPEAKER_09]: Uh, right here, Juneteenth, girl got hung by a tree in Florida, Orlando, Juneteenth, just passed kid back in April, shot up in, uh, South Carolina, eight, uh, I think it's aching, aching South Carolina, black kid, 17
- 5:43[SPEAKER_09]: Kill.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_09]: White folks behind it, four of them, mother, father, two, two boys, they covered it up.
- 5:52[SPEAKER_09]: Belly guy in the coverage, ever.
- 5:55[SPEAKER_09]: Happened back in April.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_09]: Two minutes were for coverage.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_09]: Kid executed for no reason.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_09]: Seventeen years old headed to class, no problems.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_09]: A plus student,
- 6:11[SPEAKER_09]: What I'm about to bring y'all is what happened out in Mississippi, a lot of people can say that we are overthinking stuff and we are just reacting to things that happen in our community, know we get picked off one by one.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_09]: That's really what's happening, whether it's for body parts organs.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_09]: execution style of just trying to kill a race off.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_09]: It is happening over and over and over.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_09]: And no one's doing nothing about it.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_09]: FBI, whoever it is, is happening.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_09]: So now we have a young child, one year old, happening Mississippi,
- 7:11[SPEAKER_09]: cops get a call to go out to Walmart because of a shoplifting case of a woman allegedly stole
- 7:39[SPEAKER_09]: them and using the vehicle as a weapon.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_09]: So they fired shots into the car.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_09]: They killed the one-year-old child.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_09]: Now I would agree with you that this happened out in Minnesota
- 8:08[SPEAKER_09]: Everybody on TikTok, everybody on Facebook.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_09]: Everybody complained and said, you're, man, you don't know what you're talking about.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_09]: The car was going at the officer, he had every right to shoot the driver in the car when it happened out in Minnesota.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_09]: And I got criticized for it.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_09]: And people said a whole lot of Jibba Jabba out there month, I know you ain't heard that in years.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_09]: Jibba Jabba, a moral school.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, it was beautiful to see all the criticism and the people say what they say because I don't care.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, you know, say what you want to say.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_09]: You can call me anything other than Charlie God and I wouldn't care if you did, you know, whatever.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_09]: But people were saying a lot of stuff.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_09]: But the facts came out.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_09]: And of course, put one more down for the home team, it was determined that the car was not going after the guy and he shot her for no reason.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_09]: It was a fact, it was proven.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_09]: And again, I tell you this, I wasn't there in Minnesota, and I'm not here in Mississippi, but according to my research,
- 9:29[SPEAKER_09]: people witnesses, they all claimed that the lady was driving away from the officers and they shot and ran after the car.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_09]: Now if that happened, if that happened, you know that's not policy or procedure.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_09]: And that's what kills me with police officers and being a
- 10:00[SPEAKER_09]: Policy in Procedures, what you go by, I know that people like to put their own spin on it, but there's a Procedure in Policy just about for everything.
- 10:19[SPEAKER_09]: And as a citizen,
- 10:24[SPEAKER_09]: You need to know your rights.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_09]: That's your policy and your procedure.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_09]: Your rights, citizens have rights.
- 10:30[SPEAKER_09]: Police have rights.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_09]: And they have to work on the destruction of fast thinking, critical thinking, emergency response and live action.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_09]: And a suspended second decision.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_09]: You can take a life, you can save a life in a split second.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_09]: and I applaud all police officers around the world who are doing an outstanding job, who are working nonstop to keep our community and our environment safe.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_09]: It is not an easy job.
- 11:08[SPEAKER_09]: Being a cop or becoming an officer is one of the most dangerous things you can put on your entire family.
- 11:15[SPEAKER_09]: This is not a one-man job.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_09]: This is a family job.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_09]: decide to become an officer of the law.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_09]: Your family decides to become an officer of the law.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_09]: Your children decides to become an officer of the law.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_09]: They will continue to be scrutinized, look that, and pick the part because of your life decisions that you take every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_09]: There's no real off button for officer.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_09]: There's no really a way where you punch out and you cover your face to what you see.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_09]: And that is just genuine job of an officer.
- 12:01[SPEAKER_09]: So I applaud all the cops that makes a difference in our communities and all the officers that stayed late and all the ones that dedicate getting that child that was lost back home safely.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_09]: Because this is a job that's not cut for the faint.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_09]: You gotta be strong in this field of becoming an officer.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_09]: your jurisdiction and understanding your policy and procedure is your lifeline.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_09]: Split the second decisions you make and crisis intervention is deadly in your every day going back home and it's not easy to get back home safely.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_09]: Most people that work in law enforcement have other addictions on the side.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_09]: Some people make gamble.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_09]: Some may drink, some may smoke.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_09]: Some people are aggressive.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_09]: Some people got hypertension.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_09]: Some people are just mind messed up afterwards because it takes a toll on their entire life.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_09]: And if they have families involved, most marriages don't last.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_09]: Because you're constantly under stress,
- 13:13[SPEAKER_09]: And I want to commend those who stay married, who stay in the game, through all the ups and downs I applaud you because that is not an easy decision.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_09]: You are supporting someone's dream by being in that dream with them.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_09]: And it might have nightmares, it might have times where it's not sunny, being a cop, but that's the decision you make.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_09]: and wanting to get back to your community and be a light in your environment.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_09]: So, these Mississippi police arrive at Walmart and they see this woman in the car.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_09]: What do you wanna say?
- 13:58[SPEAKER_09]: She drove at them or she drove away from them.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_09]: Either way, shots were fire.
- 14:07[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I want to actually ask you a question.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_09]: The question I want to ask, if she, in fact, was driving at them, the bullets in the car will show indication of being hit in the front, maybe in the glass, side doors, entry of the bullet will be seen in the vehicle.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_09]: If she was shot, the car was shot and she was driving away from them, then maybe we have entries of the bullets hitting the vehicle from behind because she was driving away from them.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_09]: This is point blank facts, period, right?
- 14:54[SPEAKER_09]: We don't have to debate that.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_09]: This is a fact.
- 14:57[SPEAKER_09]: This is something that every police department DNA, you can forensics, we all know
- 15:05[SPEAKER_09]: One and one is two, this is simple stuff you can look at, but then minutes and figure out a couple of things.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_09]: One is the bullet's entry, one who shot the bullet two where the officer was standing just about because of video footage and also reflection of the bullet hit in the car.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_09]: That is a fact.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_09]: We don't have to go over this like this is algebra
- 15:35[SPEAKER_09]: Fifth Ward, right?
- 15:36[SPEAKER_09]: That's to be real.
- 15:39[SPEAKER_09]: That's easy to tell that.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_09]: These are officers and investigators and forensic people that have been in the job long enough who have had a couple of cups of coffee and they know how to push the paper on the pen to pin on the paper and put a period where we needed, we know what we're looking at, right?
- 16:00[SPEAKER_09]: We don't solve many murders, we don't get a lot of things.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_09]: It's not that.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_09]: So bullets were fired, guns were dispersed.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_09]: His shot, bullets hit the car, and a life was taken.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_09]: Now, my question to you is, if they shot out the car, while it was going away, that's what we have a problem.
- 16:28[SPEAKER_09]: Because this is shoplifting.
- 16:34[SPEAKER_09]: That was the call, right?
- 16:36[SPEAKER_09]: Shoplifting.
- 16:38[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_09]: Deadly physical force for shoplifting.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_09]: On a $20.25 box, $25 box of pamper's.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_09]: That's what we did.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_09]: That's the policy.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_09]: That's what happened.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_09]: Now,
- 17:03[SPEAKER_09]: That's just me give you that angle.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_09]: Like I said, I wasn't there.
- 17:08[SPEAKER_09]: The narrative is the narrative.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_09]: We don't know exactly what took place yet.
- 17:14[SPEAKER_09]: We're gonna listen, excuse me, we're gonna get into it.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_09]: I got my cup of coffee, okay?
- 17:21[SPEAKER_09]: I got my cup of coffee and my people know if I have my cup of coffee, I'm good to go, all right?
- 17:27[SPEAKER_09]: And we're gonna do the coffee dance.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_09]: We're gonna find out what's going on.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_09]: Now, my question to you is, a one-year-old child is no longer living, because of bad decision-making.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_09]: However, did the mother even know a call was placed out for shoplifting on a box of
- 18:02[SPEAKER_09]: the woman wasn't charged with anything.
- 18:06[SPEAKER_09]: I'll say it again.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_09]: The woman involved in this whole thing was never arrested.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_09]: She never was charged with shoplifting, but yet her child is dead.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_09]: Somewhere down a line, this has to stop.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_09]: We're constantly making bad judgment calls on open and door shut cases.
- 18:39[SPEAKER_09]: Even if she stole the pamphlets and she was driving away and we got it on camera.
- 18:51[SPEAKER_09]: We could chase her down, pull over, nice and easy and get take care of it, right?
- 19:01[SPEAKER_09]: was police and Mississippi overreacting.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
- 19:10[SPEAKER_09]: Let's listen up to what they got.
- 19:14[SPEAKER_09]: Let's see what we can pick apart.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_09]: Let's see what we got, right?
- 19:21[SPEAKER_09]: Here we go.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_14]: I miss a sippy after police opened fire on a moving vehicle and shot and killed a one-year-old boy last Sunday.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_14]: Furthering the outrage, this stemmed from an alleged shoplifting case at a Walmart, police say the suspect was behind the wheel and accelerating towards them when one of the officers fired that fatal shot.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_14]: Scripps news, it's senior national correspondent, J.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_14]: Gray, is looking into this case.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_14]: So, J, when you see this picture of this one year old, you can't help but wonder how something like this could have happened.
- 19:57[SPEAKER_14]: Understand, the family is calling for an independent autopsy.
- 20:00[SPEAKER_14]: Can you tell us why?
- 20:03[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Andrew, the family's attorney say they're just concerned overall with the transparency of this investigation, say they are worried about how it is going to be carried out.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_03]: And they also are saying that the mother of the young boy, she's disputing a police account of how he was killed.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_03]: Calls for justice.
- 20:28[SPEAKER_03]: Just days after one year old Cohen Wiley was shot and killed by police responding to a shoplifting call in Northwest Mississippi.
- 20:36[SPEAKER_03]: This video showing the scene playing out in a Walmart parking lot in the small town.
- 20:41[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I'm going to tell you guys, the lady was driving away, the video just showed it.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_09]: Now that was her car, the car was going away from everybody.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_03]: of Sanitobia.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_09]: They will come running toward over a baby's heart.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_11]: Divers.
- 21:01[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_11]: And a family not has to bury their baby.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_11]: You cannot put those two things next to each other and call it reasonable police.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_03]: An officer firing shots into a car he alleges was accelerating toward him.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_03]: Something caught his mother a passenger in the vehicle denies.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_03]: The less he awily also said, she held Cohen up.
- 21:24[SPEAKER_03]: So officers would know there was a baby in the car just before the shots were fire.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_05]: I watched my baby take his.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_09]: Now before she talks, I'm gonna tell you something.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not blaming the mother.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not blaming police.
- 21:40[SPEAKER_09]: But it does appear like they came over to the car.
- 21:45[SPEAKER_09]: And when they went over to the car, she pulled out and started going.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_09]: Now, if she did that, because the door's won't open.
- 21:53[SPEAKER_09]: If she did that, and the cops were there, she just says, fault is there.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_09]: Because if you know you ain't still nothing, and you know you have a child there, one year old, where you going?
- 22:08[SPEAKER_09]: Let them search you and do whatever they need to do, because you know you got to receive for your purpose,
- 22:16[SPEAKER_09]: Is that simple?
- 22:18[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know guys, look a little fishy.
- 22:21[SPEAKER_09]: First bro.
- 22:22[SPEAKER_09]: And now watch my baby take his eyes bro.
- 22:28[SPEAKER_09]: The author's sure now the mother looked like she in her more than 17 18.
- 22:33[SPEAKER_03]: who fired the shots has been placed on administrative leave.
- 22:36[SPEAKER_03]: The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation promising transparency as they gather evidence including security and police body cam video of the incident.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_03]: The MBI promising to release that video but only after the investigation is complete.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_10]: We don't have to wait six to nine months.
- 22:54[SPEAKER_10]: They can release the body cam footage of the officers.
- 22:57[SPEAKER_10]: The officers have body cam zone.
- 23:00[SPEAKER_10]: We know if their lives were in danger because we can tear from the body can't foot it.
- 23:05[SPEAKER_03]: The Ternies for Wiley's family have requested an independent autopsy.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_03]: There will be a public funeral for Cohen, which could come as early as the weekend.
- 23:16[SPEAKER_03]: Now, a couple of other quick points in this case, the driver of the car was critically injured during that shooting her injuries, though, not considered life threatening.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_03]: Also, Cohen's mother has not been accused or charged with shoplifting following the incident.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_09]: So, well, you think you killed her boy, you're gonna arrest the two for shoplifting?
- 23:38[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, that crosses out anything.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_09]: But if she wasn't shoplifting,
- 23:46[SPEAKER_09]: If the papers have a receipt, do we have another story?
- 23:54[SPEAKER_03]: Well, a lot to sort out here, obviously, Andrew.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_14]: And Jay, this is a small town and it is one that is familiar with tension between the community and police.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_14]: What more can you tell us about that?
- 24:08[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, community advocates telling us that the death of Cohen is really a quote, breaking point after multiple incidents in the city across the span of the last several years, including an officer threatening a black woman with a taser than pulling her from her car to the ground after a confrontation over a handicap parking spot.
- 24:29[SPEAKER_03]: And that happened Andrew in the same Walmart parking lot where they're shooting a car.
- 24:34[SPEAKER_14]: I'll send your national correspondent, J.
- 24:36[SPEAKER_14]: Gray, J.
- 24:38[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you for you.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_09]: So as you see, that warm walk is hot.
- 24:46[SPEAKER_09]: A lot of things be happening at that warm mark.
- 24:51[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I have another little piece for you listening to.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_09]: So you can see after a little bit of investigation,
- 25:05[SPEAKER_09]: Listen up, this is one of the officials, Wiley.
- 25:11[SPEAKER_12]: I'm Commissioner Shonsundle, which is important to public safety.
- 25:15[SPEAKER_12]: Mississippi Department of Public Safety oversees 11 different divisions, including the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations.
- 25:23[SPEAKER_12]: In 2022, legislation was passed that required the Mississippi Bureau investigation to investigate all of certain involved shootings in the state of Mississippi.
- 25:32[SPEAKER_12]: As part of that legislation, once that investigation is complete, our files will turn over to the Mississippi Attorney General's office, and they will review and make determination as to whether or not to present that case to a grand jury and whether or not that trial against any officers who proceed after that point.
- 25:49[SPEAKER_12]: This was done to bring independence to the process, one one where the public could trust the process knowing that it was independent from local agencies.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_12]: Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Policy now dictates that once that investigation is complete, our entire file, as well as any evidence collected by the cam footage, dash cam footage surveillance footage, will also be available to the public as part of a public records request.
- 26:20[SPEAKER_12]: The purpose for that is because we believe the transparency creates accountability and with accountability, we're able to maintain the public trust.
- 26:32[SPEAKER_12]: I told you, I'll probably make a note to say this is a very tragic situation.
- 26:38[SPEAKER_12]: I won't the public to be assured that the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation will conduct.
- 26:43[SPEAKER_12]: It's independent investigation.
- 26:45[SPEAKER_12]: We have five agents working on this case.
- 26:48[SPEAKER_09]: Hi.
- 26:49[SPEAKER_09]: We're going this case.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_09]: We're going this case.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_12]: Gathering evidence and working diligently to prepare a father present to the AG's office.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_12]: I would ask it to the public.
- 26:59[SPEAKER_12]: maintain patients as much as possible.
- 27:01[SPEAKER_12]: I know this is a very frustrating time, but maintain patients as this process is done.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_12]: And keep in mind that it's important for us to be able to interview witnesses without threat of intimidation.
- 27:15[SPEAKER_12]: And one of the things that we don't want to have is witnesses that are afraid to come forward out of intimidation.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_12]: So it's important that we keep civility during this process so that we can get to the bottom of it and we can analyze all the evidence and then ultimately make it available to you all.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_12]: And again, I understand your frustration.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_12]: Unfortunately, these incidences have occurred all over the state of Mississippi.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_12]: And over the last several years,
- 27:45[SPEAKER_12]: And in all those cases, the ultimate findings were made available to the public, and so I want you to be assured that it will be a thorough investigation, and it will be one where transparency is there.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_09]: So you see he said is happening all over Mississippi.
- 28:04[SPEAKER_09]: So this is a problem because this is happening all over Mississippi.
- 28:13[SPEAKER_09]: Mississippi is known for taking out people.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_09]: People with a dog skin, shame.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying.
- 28:23[SPEAKER_09]: All right, so this.
- 28:27[SPEAKER_09]: We got a little commercial break real quick.
- 28:29[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna get right back to it.
- 28:32[SPEAKER_09]: But he's one of the guys that's leading an investigation and you know.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_12]: I'll be glad to answer any questions from the media first question.
- 28:41[SPEAKER_12]: They're already that you might not have about the process.
- 28:44[SPEAKER_12]: I'll not get into the details of the investigation.
- 28:47[SPEAKER_12]: I would have anybody keep in mind.
- 28:49[SPEAKER_12]: This just occurred about 48 hours together.
- 28:52[SPEAKER_12]: So it's still a very, very new investigation.
- 28:54[SPEAKER_12]: Trust me, the Fox 13 news question.
- 28:56[SPEAKER_11]: The actual body of the video.
- 29:01[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to stop that guys because there's so much noise in the background.
- 29:05[SPEAKER_09]: You can't hear the young man is asking about body cam, but they're outside.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_09]: They should have did this inside of an auditorium when they could have had more of a control environment.
- 29:15[SPEAKER_09]: And that way you can really get down to the nitty gritty.
- 29:17[SPEAKER_09]: But of course, they don't want that.
- 29:21[SPEAKER_09]: So you have it outside where you've got the fire trucks, you've got cops going by, you've got cars, you've got people walking by, you make it very frustrating for the community to get questions answered and questions entered.
- 29:34[SPEAKER_09]: Because of the fact, you don't have a lot of information anyway.
- 29:37[SPEAKER_09]: Matter of fact, he just told you it's still new for eight hours.
- 29:40[SPEAKER_09]: So they just did it because they didn't want to be like they're not saying anything.
- 29:44[SPEAKER_09]: So they wanted somebody to know something.
- 29:47[SPEAKER_09]: You know what I'm saying?
- 29:48[SPEAKER_09]: And I get it.
- 29:51[SPEAKER_09]: They don't want you to be in a dark for so long.
- 29:52[SPEAKER_09]: They want to give you something, right?
- 29:55[SPEAKER_09]: So I get it.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_09]: And that's what you got to do.
- 29:58[SPEAKER_09]: You have to be transparent with the community and try to keep the trust of what you're doing is legit.
- 30:05[SPEAKER_09]: If it's any effort involved, they can sense it, and they just go off like the lady and I was outbursts while he was talking.
- 30:12[SPEAKER_09]: How long is it going to take you to a,
- 30:14[SPEAKER_09]: investigation.
- 30:15[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it's only 48 hours old.
- 30:17[SPEAKER_09]: So investigation takes longer than that.
- 30:19[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry when the life is lost and you're going to take somebody else's freedom away.
- 30:23[SPEAKER_09]: It's going to take a little while.
- 30:24[SPEAKER_09]: You know, you want to make sure when you go forward, you move on on solid foundation.
- 30:29[SPEAKER_09]: And unfortunately, this child life is lost, but I have to hold accountability to the mother as well because the car clearly looked like the car was moving in the door was open.
- 30:38[SPEAKER_09]: Where you going?
- 30:46[SPEAKER_09]: Watch this, if it is, in fact, you're still in some pamphlets, they're not going to take you to jail for pamphlets.
- 30:53[SPEAKER_09]: And if they do, how long are you going to stay in the system for box of pamphlets?
- 30:57[SPEAKER_09]: That you were trying to provide for your family and the crisis right now.
- 31:01[SPEAKER_09]: Where gas is, $6 damn dollars ago.
- 31:04[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, we got to use our brain bigger than that.
- 31:07[SPEAKER_09]: Where's the father at?
- 31:08[SPEAKER_09]: I hate to say it.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_09]: Where the father at?
- 31:11[SPEAKER_09]: Now, this kid looked like he was the father.
- 31:13[SPEAKER_09]: He got his, he out there.
- 31:16[SPEAKER_09]: He might be the daddy, maybe he or if, you know, I don't know, where's the mother's parents at?
- 31:23[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know, because the mother looked like she's about 15, and it's a God, I don't know.
- 31:29[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know, a lot of questions are there.
- 31:32[SPEAKER_09]: And I know you might say, do you mean what they got to do with it?
- 31:34[SPEAKER_09]: Where's the guidance?
- 31:35[SPEAKER_09]: That's what they got to do with it.
- 31:36[SPEAKER_09]: Where's the guidance?
- 31:43[SPEAKER_09]: Where's that at?
- 31:46[SPEAKER_09]: Now I understand some, because in many cases, children can have both parents that they still don't pay attention to them anyway.
- 31:51[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm just being totally honest with you.
- 31:54[SPEAKER_09]: That's what it be.
- 31:56[SPEAKER_09]: They don't pay attention.
- 31:57[SPEAKER_09]: We could talk to, we blew in the face.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_09]: Kids gonna still do what they wanna do.
- 32:01[SPEAKER_09]: It's just a fact.
- 32:05[SPEAKER_09]: But I wanna give you some other news.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_09]: I wanna let you know what's going on in California.
- 32:10[SPEAKER_09]: It's a little snippet.
- 32:11[SPEAKER_09]: It's not crazy, but it is a snippet.
- 32:14[SPEAKER_09]: for you to see what's going on.
- 32:15[SPEAKER_09]: Venezuela and, and, no other California.
- 32:21[SPEAKER_09]: We're gonna do California first, okay?
- 32:25[SPEAKER_09]: Here we go.
- 32:27[SPEAKER_02]: The Earthquake rattled nerves and knock items off store shows a glass shattering reminder in Mendocino County that sent alerts to more than a million people as far as Sacramento.
- 32:38[SPEAKER_02]: Let's walk over to Madison, keep you joining me now with a look ahead.
- 32:41[SPEAKER_02]: At the cleanup efforts, there's lots to clean up and the potential aftershock impacts.
- 32:46[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, Tony, I mean, you said it.
- 32:47[SPEAKER_13]: There were reports of injuries, but no major damage.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_13]: The week knocked out power to thousands for most of today.
- 32:53[SPEAKER_13]: And now as the lights come back on, one of the most asked questions we've heard is more shaking still to come.
- 33:01[SPEAKER_13]: From homes to grocery stores, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake rocked Mendocino County Wednesday morning, sending products flying off shelves, cutting power to thousands and leaving residents shaken.
- 33:14[SPEAKER_00]: I've been here for 22 years.
- 33:16[SPEAKER_00]: It's just never seen something like that before.
- 33:20[SPEAKER_13]: Shake map data shows what it felt like across the region, anywhere from a 3.5 to a 2.0 in parts of Sacramento County, and scientists fear something larger may be looming.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_13]: A new study finds the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults in southern California have reached their highest stress levels in 1,000 years, raising concerns about the possibility of large earthquake hitting the states.
- 33:45[SPEAKER_06]: The US just
- 33:47[SPEAKER_06]: models forecast that in the next 30 years, there's about a 20% chance of a damaging earthquake on those faults.
- 33:53[SPEAKER_05]: It was only a 5.6.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_05]: There's no freaking way.
- 33:56[SPEAKER_13]: It was way bigger in northern California.
- 33:59[SPEAKER_13]: The ground may not be done moving.
- 34:01[SPEAKER_13]: Richard Allen director of the Berkeley seismology lab says aftershocks are expected in the days ahead.
- 34:07[SPEAKER_01]: And the question then is simply how large is aftershock school be?
- 34:10[SPEAKER_01]: So saying we might expect typically to have one magnitude four and a half type aftershock, we haven't had that yet.
- 34:16[SPEAKER_01]: So it's quite possible we would have that in the coming days.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_01]: And that would be normal.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_13]: And while the chances are small, scientists can't rule out a larger earthquake following.
- 34:25[SPEAKER_13]: That's why experts say now is the time to review an emergency plan.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_01]: We all know we live in earthquake country, we all know that we need to have a plan, we need to have a kit.
- 34:35[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a great time to check on that kit, make sure you have that kit ready to go.
- 34:40[SPEAKER_13]: Now, crews continue cleanup efforts as residents keep a close eye on what comes next.
- 34:47[SPEAKER_13]: Now, we often hear about the San Andreas fault, but seismologists say it's just one part of a much larger fault system stretching across California.
- 34:56[SPEAKER_13]: Now, today's earthquakes struck on the Makoma fault, one of Makoma fault rather, one of several faults that run parallel to the San Andreas, and it's part of that broader fault system in our region.
- 35:06[SPEAKER_13]: You learned something new every day.
- 35:07[SPEAKER_13]: We've done it.
- 35:08[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the automatically go to the San Andreas fault, but they got a lot of them.
- 35:12[SPEAKER_02]: And people were surprised by the damage in this 5.6, but there was a lot more damage than we thought.
- 35:16[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, and of course, just what it felt like, you know, that was something that we heard from people there that it felt like much larger than that number, of course, when you.
- 35:25[SPEAKER_09]: So that happened in California, and I'm sad, but no one got hurt, which is good.
- 35:34[SPEAKER_09]: Our Earth is responding to what happens.
- 35:41[SPEAKER_09]: In rotation, you know, go, you know, we are evolving constantly we're moving things happen to drilling of oil and everything are earth response to that stuff.
- 35:52[SPEAKER_09]: And it's sad, but that's what's going on.
- 35:56[SPEAKER_09]: And it also took place in Venezuela.
- 35:58[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm going to share that with you guys as
- 36:12[SPEAKER_09]: It took place pretty bad out there.
- 36:15[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna have a commercial that's up.
- 36:18[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna play that and then we're gonna get right into it.
- 36:22[SPEAKER_09]: Hopefully you guys enjoy share and like what we're doing here.
- 36:26[SPEAKER_09]: We do it twice a week.
- 36:29[SPEAKER_09]: Sometimes if it gets busy, we can't do it.
- 36:31[SPEAKER_08]: We'll in more than a century.
- 36:32[SPEAKER_09]: No, we try to.
- 36:36[SPEAKER_08]: We're getting new video after the quakes hit eight hours ago, collapsing buildings in Caracas and causing widespread destruction.
- 36:44[SPEAKER_08]: We just got off the phone with Hawaii chef, Eurion Rojas, who is family in Venezuela.
- 36:51[SPEAKER_08]: He says, well, first responders are rescuing people in bigger cities and towns.
- 36:56[SPEAKER_08]: Many areas are on their own.
- 36:58[SPEAKER_09]: 7.5.
- 36:58[SPEAKER_07]: If you don't know where to go.
- 36:59[SPEAKER_07]: People don't know.
- 37:00[SPEAKER_07]: There is no shelter in place.
- 37:02[SPEAKER_07]: There is no help.
- 37:02[SPEAKER_07]: There is nothing.
- 37:04[SPEAKER_07]: Especially when you live here and you see what's happened.
- 37:06[SPEAKER_07]: For example, when my with fires, even that was a disaster, you know, FEMA, the firefighters, police, everything.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_07]: National Guard, everything comes together.
- 37:17[SPEAKER_07]: You don't need something at the end.
- 37:19[SPEAKER_07]: No, but although there is the empty, like, the crickets.
- 37:22[SPEAKER_04]: Rojas tells us his family is okay, but there are two homes and a car were damaged.
- 37:27[SPEAKER_04]: The coastal state, La Guarra, has been declared a disaster zone and the Caracas International Airport is temporarily closed.
- 37:38[SPEAKER_09]: So 7.5 out there in Venezuela lives lost.
- 37:42[SPEAKER_09]: People are buried.
- 37:44[SPEAKER_09]: It's crazy out there.
- 37:46[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna do another follow-up on this one because that is bananas.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_09]: So just to let you know, two earthquakes along with the Mississippi police shooting.
- 37:58[SPEAKER_07]: It's a lot.
- 38:00[SPEAKER_09]: So, I don't know what we're gonna do, but hopefully,
- 38:08[SPEAKER_09]: some help eight go over to Venezuela to help those people because they don't have response nor do they have the emergency management capabilities over there and people are buried alive and they need to be rescued and eight need to be sent over there as well.
- 38:27[SPEAKER_09]: So
- 38:29[SPEAKER_09]: Today, guys, I'll show us over.
- 38:31[SPEAKER_09]: It's come to an end.
- 38:32[SPEAKER_09]: I have to go tell a friend.
- 38:35[SPEAKER_09]: It will be up.
- 38:36[SPEAKER_09]: You guys enjoy your weekend, shed a word.
- 38:41[SPEAKER_09]: God bless, stay safe, and protect yourself at all times.
- 38:45[SPEAKER_09]: God bless.
