• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Mr Crump to turn the spotlight of their injustice on
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: their cases. Please working the money making conversations, Attorney Ben Crump,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: how you doing mentor thank you sir. I appreciate that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: tiley you've given me because it was at his Neighborhood
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Awards when we started talking about trying to have your
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: voice elevated beyond the courtroom. And you inspire me in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: ways and never ever discourage me. And because of that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you know, God has blessed me beyond anything we could
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: have ever envisioned. We don't to think about it. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we've done television shows together and and those shows are
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: all about injustice, you know. And one of the famous
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: quotes you always told me, if you want to see
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the justice ships and play out, just sit in the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: back of any courtroom in America. Tell us about that quote. Yeah,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you know, when we did Evidence of Innocence, which I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: still think is one of the best shows that has
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: ever been put on TV. That you produced and help
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: create this concept of seeing injustice everywhere in America. It's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not far into any city or state. You go in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: any courtroom. You don't have to take being from word
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: for it. Just sit in the back of the courtroom
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and see how just this as being administered. That there
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: are two justice systems that governed America, one for white
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: America and one for others. And we saw that play
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: out in America when they stormed the capital, these Trump supporters,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and they were treated completely different Rashaan, than any Black
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Lives Matter protests ever. I mean they were able to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: bust into the capital. I mean you talk about no trust,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: pass charges, no property damage, no assault, no battery, nothing,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: nobody that they was arrested. And that's just prima facial evidence.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But the thing that I got from you, Rashan, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: people like my grandmother is no matter how donting it looks,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you always got to keep a positive perspective. That's why
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I love doing evidence of innocence with it because, yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you recognized the injustice, but you know that we will
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: overcome the injustice. And that's important that you say that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: because use your your life. You know you've been putting
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the spotlight, movie appearances, TV appearances, you have an award
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: show that's in Los Angeles. We want to talk about
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that in a little bit, but the bottom line is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: fighting injustice. What bothers you the most about the cases
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that seems so eerily similar, similar, different stage, different cities,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: but it's the same case. Well, bothers me the most
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Rashon is how they tried to intellectually justify it, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the unjustified by actions that led to Brianna Taylor being
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: killed in her own apartment. I mean, the saint tell
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: your home, they bust in the front door, and they
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: mutilate your daughter's body, and then they tell her mother
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and her family. Well, technically there are no grounds to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: charge the police officers. Or when you think about Philandoca
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: still in Minneapolis, sitting in the driver see his girlfriend
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: driving and their baby in the back, and he tells
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the police, I'm a register gun owner, aber gun in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the glove compartment. You want me to get the registration
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and insurance, I have to reach in the glove compartment.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He says all of this, But then when he goes
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and gets the the items that the police asked for,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he sees a gun, he sees black man, and he shoots.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And yet they intellectually justify that rigion. And that's what
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is most troubling to me, because I often think about
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: what Martin Luther King said in the letter from the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Birmingham Jail. He said, just because they say it's legal,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it's right. He said that everything Hitler
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: did to the Jews in Germany was legal, but that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: didn't make it right. He says avery was legal, but
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that didn't make it right. He says segregation was legal,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: but that didn't make it right. And they try to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: tell us what they did. The trade bond marketing and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor and Eric Gardner and so many others was legal.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But I stand on my bullet poor pit every chance
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I get to remind America, no matter what you say
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: is legal, that doesn't make it right. Well, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, well renowned fame,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But fame has a cutting edge because you're going the airports,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: people recognize you. Uh you going restaurants, people recognize you,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and then you take on the responsibility of that. Sometimes
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you can't deliver what people's expectations are. I knew when
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we met backstages in the the neighborhood many years ago. Now
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: looking at you now, your social media's on fire, your
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: television and will front page of various newspaper articles. How
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: has that affected your life, both professionally and personally? You know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Thank god I have a wonderful wife and uh strong
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: family support that allowed me to do the important work
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I do. Um. In fact, it's so funny with shine
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that Netflix is doing a documentary of my life or
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the work I do. I shouldn't say my life. I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: want to believe I got a lot more living to go.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you U. But Nadia Hagren, who is the award
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: winning director who directed Michelle Obama is becoming the most
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: watched documentary and Netflix history is uh now doing a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: documentary on my work. And the one thing I tell
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a Rashine is keep up. You all are gonna follow
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: me for a year. I mean keep up, because so
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: much halp is in the course of a week that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that's my always worst nightmare, that I'm running out of time.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: That they are creating these hashtags too much, they're killing
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: our children too fast that we can barely keep up.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, every other week seems like there's another hashtag,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and so that's what we're fighting. I told my eight
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: year old daughter, Brooklyn as I left home the day
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: after Christmas going to Columbia Columbus, Ohio, because Andre Hill
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: was killed a couple of days before Christmas holding a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: cell phone, and the video demonstrated very clearly that he
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: was unarmed, and while he was on the ground grasping
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for breath, they then had a supervisor come up at
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the five minutes and said he is still breathing, handcuffing,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and they did that, and so my daughter was trying
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to understand, but Daddy, why do you have to leave
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the day after Christmas? And I told her, well, baby, Unfortunately,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: police brutality and implicit bias don't take a break, not
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: even for Christmas. And so that family lost their father.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And even though it's inconvenient for me to leave you
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: on Christmas holiday, can you imagine how convenient baby, it
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: is for that family who lost their father. Father? And
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: my baby told me, Daddy, I understand. Wow, that's great
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: now it was these all these cases are rageous. But
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you U was involved in the case in the Houston
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Galveson area where UH police officer sheriff was on the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: horse and he had a rope around a black man's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: neck as he walked him down the street. Tell us
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the status of that case, and tell and explain to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: everybody exactly detailed what went down with the case. It
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: was a homeless man who had mental health issues, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the police, for reasons that were still inexplicable, instead of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: putting him in the patrol car and taking him to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the jail for lottering, they put a rope around his
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: neck while he and his partner were on horseback and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they wrote him down through the middle of town where
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: in Galveston, Texas, as we remember, Rashand was one of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the last places where the slaves were freed. And so
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they literally walked this black man at two thousand nineteen.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Ye when you look at that, I was outside of Houston.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: There's a booming metropolis. This is not a little little
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: little cow town, a little small town hidden way down
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: in the south. Galvison has an annual Martograwl festival. You know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: my my friend brother, he's from Galaster. Galason Ball, big
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: football powerhouse down there. So you're not talking about someplace
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that's that's just to the off the map. Like you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: said when you said walking downtown, you're walking them downtown
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in front of a prominent neighborhood, a tourist mecca. Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And to answer your question directly, the civil matter has
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: been resolved. We represented on the civil matter, but the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Justice Department is still investigating the matter. But the problem
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I have, r Shine, is that the officer is still
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: working on the force. Wow. And then you know, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I had Michael Eric Dison, who you know, and his
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: book is amazing, and the details that he gave me
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on the armand Abrey case was scary, you know, because
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you had the one guy who's don't want to be
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a part of the case. Somebody was just videotaping. Would
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you if you were the first to call that he
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: should be arrested. I remember he said he should be arrested.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: He should be arrested, and eventually he was arrested. When
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you hear the whole story play out, it's even more
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: crazy how they attacked and hunted down this young man,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: blocked his hiss, his point of traffic, and trapped him. Yeah, Rishaw,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it is just outrageous to think that. In we're not
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: talking about nineteen thirty and nineteen foury, we're talking about
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: twenty a young man was lynched and broad daylight for
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: joggon while black, and as you correctly stated, they chased him.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I mean they chased him for over five minutes. So
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: this is not like something where he wasn't trying to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: get away. He was doing everything in his power to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: get away from this lynch mob, this murderous father and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: son duo. And so what ended up happening, and you
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: sit on the video, is when they corner him. This
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: guy who's recording, who tries to act like he was
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: not involved, even though there's text messages that suggest otherwise,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: but when he cornered them, then amad. You hear the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: notion fight a flight, Well, a man had did everything
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: he could to take flight from these are nefarious actors.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But then at that point he literally had to fight
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: for his life. But unfortunately it was him fighting with
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: his hands and then fighting with a shotgun. A shotgun
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: ray shot. That is what they used to take down
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: an elephant when it escapes the zoo. My experts tell me,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: unlike a gunshot wound that you can survive because it's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a single projectile that comes out. But they explained to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: me a shotgun, there are multiple projectiles that come out,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and the jury room is small. But when those bullets
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: going then they expand. They say the exit wound, and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: there will always be an exit room. With a shotgun,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he said, a good shot, the bullet might stay inside you,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: but with a shotgun, it's gonna exit out. And when
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you look at that video, you see exactly what the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: experts say. They said that the exit one could be
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: as big as a coffee cup saucer. And so you
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: see at the last part of that video when my
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: turns and run and you see the blood spot on
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: his back expand you see it's like a teacup saucer
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and that is the tragedy of the legend of a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: mad Aubrey. And thank god we had video because I
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: believe that is the only reason why this murderous father
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: son duo Travis and Greg McMichael's and their friend was
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: charged and that trial will becoming in Georgia about the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: copp County District Attorney. It's finally here, the season of celebration,

  Speaker 1: talk about that for a minute, like because you immediately
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and I'm talking to attorney civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump here.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: The third guy, the videotape guy, what did you realize
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that he should be you know, prosecuted, that he should
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: be arrested too. Yeah, you know, his story didn't quite
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: add up when he said, well, he just saw Amad
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: running and he just decided that he must be up
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to no good. Let me get and my car grabbed
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: my video tape. I just want to record it right right, Well,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: at some point, if you see these guys got guns
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and they're chasing this black guy, why wouldn't you call
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the police. Let's say, hellong, even if for my this
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: something the wrong. We shouldn't have these people with guns
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: taking the law into their own hand. We should have
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: people who are professionals to deal with the situation. But
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: he didn't do that, and that was telling to me
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and our co councils. We said, no, this story doesn't
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: add up. And then we found out that they had
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: an active conversation. When this young man runs through the neighborhood,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get him the next time he runs through here.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, cool, of course. I want to transition to
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the case that change the world, change this country, bro
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: white people out of the streets into the streets. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: hears say protested George Floyd. I I key part of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: my interview would use it because you was on ground
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: zero with that and you saw said some things that
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: nobody else can see but experienced it personally. Why did
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: George Floyd have the impact his rachel injustice through the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: hands of four police officers changed his country in this world? Yeah?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You know, mentor many people asked me that question. Uh,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: what is it about George Floyd that galvanized people all
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: across America? Galvanized people all across the globe? And what
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I tell them is that, you know, most of us
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in society had gotten use to see in reality TV,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: but we were still shocked to see the documentary of
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a human being literally being touched to death by the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: people who were supposed to protect and serve them. I mean,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the documentary of a man being murdered. And even more
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: shocking Rashine was the fact that he narroed it the
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: documentary of his own death. I mean, you m say
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I can't breathe twenty eight times, and then he says,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I can't feel my insize, I can't feel
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: my legs. He says, tell my children I love them,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and then he calls out for his mother, even though
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: his mother had been dead two years prior to this
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: tragic incident. But again, our experts tell us, our psychological
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: experts tell us, when you are conscious that you maybe
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: leaving this world, the life is escaping your body. You
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: think back two when you first came in this world
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and who was your first pretty tecta. For many of us,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that person was our mother. And so they say, it's
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: very logical to hear George Floyd calling out for his
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: mama as this guy has his knee on his neck
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: for eight minutes and forty six seconds while another officer
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: has two knees on his back compressing to die fram
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: where he can't take oxygen in and expend oxygen to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: be able to breathe, and the fact that they offer
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: him no humanity, no professionalism, no consideration. I mean, it
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: is heartbreaking to watch that video and the reason I
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: think people were marching and cities all across America, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: cities all across the world. Is because once you see
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: that video, you cannot see it. It has a permanent
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and racion on your psyche. And that is why George
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Floyd literally changed the world and why we have the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: George Floyd Justice and Police and Act that has passed
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the United States House of Representatives and where the victory
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and Georgia returned and control of the Senate to the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party. We believe that George Floyd Justice and Police
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and Act will be signed into the law by President
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: elect Joe Biden and President elect Vice President let Kamala
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: has my dear friend who will be president and Vice President.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I'm proud to say, what is the law? Explain to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: my listeners and my viewers. Oh, the George Floyd Justice
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and uh Police and Accountability Act is act that is very,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: very inclusive of many of the things that the Congressional
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Caucus has fought for for decades. It includes abolishing the chokehole.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Many people are not aware of shine that the chokehole
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: is legal in many cities across America and the fact
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that seventy percent of the time the chokehole is executed
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: by police. It's against people of color, especially minorities who
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: are men. And then it's a abolishing the no knock warrants,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: which again is disproportionately executed against black people in America.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: That led to the death of Brianna Taylor. And it
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: was foresyable that if you keep knocking in black people
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: houses at one in the morning, that innocent victim like
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a Brianna Taylor would be killed. And they're not knocking
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: in the doors of our white brothers and sisters. No,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: they're doing this to black people in America, And so
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it abolishes that. But then it also speaks to transparency,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: which is the body camera video, the fact that you
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: have to have your body camera home when you engage
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a citizen for any confrontation, and if they are brutalized
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and if they are at worst killed and you didn't
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: have that body came on, it is a rebuttable presumption
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that you did something nefarious or inappropriate or illegal, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you have to then we're not saying take the police
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: officers due process of the law away from him. You're
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: all innocent into proving guilty. However, there would be a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: rebuttable presumption that you now have to prove that there
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: was not something you did illegal as to why that
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: body camera was on. And finally, or when I should
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: say two more important things. It deals with having a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: national registry. We don't have any national count or registry
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of the number of police involves shootings and killings and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: rode for deaths in America. And so now the George
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Floyd at will have the FBI keep track of all
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of those statistics as well as the complaints against police officers.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: So like in Tamil rights to twelve year old who
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: was killed in Cleveland or iiO by a guy who
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: had been fired six months earlier, left one police department
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and went right up the street to Cleveland and got
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: another job. So people don't know because there's no national
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: registry that monitors all of this here. And then finally
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: this notion of qualified immunity that the Supreme Court of
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the United States has said, you know, you can't Monday
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: morning quarterback to police. Uh, you you were not there.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And so if he says he had a reasonable fear,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: because you know that's what the Supreme Court has said,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: all the police have to do is say three words,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I felt fear, I felt threatened. And then they say,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: but he's justified and using deadly force even if the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: young black person was running away from them, kind of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: like in Jacob Blake Jr. And Connosha, Wisconsin, like Lakwa
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: McDonald in Chicago, Illinois, like Walter Scott and uh South Carolina,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: like Terence Crutcher walking away with his hands up in
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: broad daylight in tos Oklahoma. You know, in so many
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: other cases Stephanie Clark running in Sacramento, California and his
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: grandmother's backyard and they shoot us in the back, and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and said, well, all the officers got
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to do and say I felt threatened and that is
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: enough to justify these unjustifiable acts. So George Floyd, Justice
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and Police and Accountability at is saying that, no, no,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you have to have an objective, reasonable articulation to use
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: deadly force, not just that this subjective fear, this imaginary
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: fear that you well, I felt threatened because of the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: color of a person's skin. Skin. Let me ask you
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: this because I text you several times because especially during
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the George Floyd, the COVID nteen was raging. We didn't
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: know it definitely had no vaccine at the time. The
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: country is shut down in the month of it started
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: to reopen in May, and I was worried, man, And
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you were still out there on the front lines. You
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: wore a mask because sometimes idy to see you with
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a mask on. A word I text you said, brother,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: keep that mask on. I love you. Indeed you have
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to go home. Talk about that whole journey, because you're
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the job to do. But then also you were putting
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: yourself on the front lines of danger with COVID ninteen.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Talk about that run. Yeah, you know, I had stayed
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: home literally for about two months, didn't leave the house.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I was trying to follow all the rules.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And then George Floyd happened. And it was something about
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: seeing that video that I said, I I can't not
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: go to fight for justice for this family when they
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: call me heartbroken, you know, his brother for longness, uh
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: reminded me of Sabrina Fulton. All they could do is
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: cry because as Brinna Fulton was Traybon Martin's mother. When
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: we first started, it was just overran with emotions. As
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: he said, you know, I slept in the bed as
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: a little brother with my big brother, and to see them,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, kill him like that, man, we gotta havesice.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: We need you being crump And you know so often
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I tell people that when God gives us these blessings
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and these talents and these fancy law degrees, is to
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: go out and try to help the least of these,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the people who don't have a voice, to people who
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: are disenfranchised, victimized and marginalizes. And so I had to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: answer the bell. And then after George Floyd, you have
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor, had to Brianna Taylor, you had Jacob Blake,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: after Jacob Blake. Yeah, Andre Helen. For too long, you know,
• 29:37
