It's pleasure to have 32 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:32.959 you in the studio. 33 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.799 Thank you, brother Brian. I appreciate it. I'm so glad 34 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.120 to be here. And I'm on fire. You are on fire, yes, sir. 35 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.439 And that's what was so cool about what you were saying, 36 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.840 speaking truth to power, passionate and your reaction to the 37 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.799 violence in the city of Cincinnati, which it sounds, I 38 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.920 mean it's almost as if you knew it was coming, 39 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.319 because you posted a video on the twenty fourth criticizing 40 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.519 the administration. You were at Police Chief threes of Thigi 41 00:01:58.519 --> 00:01:59.959 and you know all about it because you're a please 42 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.200 offer for that period of time, Cheryl Long. You went 43 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.200 after the mayor elected officials demanding a change in administration 44 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.639 because clearly we're on the wrong path. And then one 45 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.840 day later, look what happens in downtown Cincinnati. So you 46 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.759 had a nice follow up to that one. So let 47 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.639 my listeners know where you are on all this Andre. 48 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.919 Absolutely, it's disgusting, disgusting. 49 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:27.240 Just listening to Chief Thiji's interview yesterday, it was absolutely ridiculous. 50 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:32.360 We are a nationwide joke right now in Cincinnati, the 51 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:38.199 issues of talking about you only had two officers respond 52 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.719 that was dispatched. That was in the central Business section, 53 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.840 and she even said, over one hundred thousand people and 54 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.360 you're dispatching cars to a scene where there's so many 55 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.840 people and vehicles. But here, here we have around the 56 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.039 country where people are getting ran over. Why wasn't those 57 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.159 streets just completely blocked off that there were there are 58 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.319 no vehicle traffic number one so the officers can get there, 59 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.159 and there was no officers on foot in the area. 60 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.439 Absolutely unacceptable. 61 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.159 It took us six minutes to get there, which you know, 62 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.159 in terms of response time, I don't know if that's 63 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.479 good or bad, but you're talking about a downtown Cincinnati 64 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.439 that's got three major events going on, and people don't 65 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.240 just pack up and go home at eleven PM when 66 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.199 the rock when the music stops, they head over the 67 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.120 door district and go into the bars. And so they're 68 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.560 going to be into the bars until the bars are 69 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.240 gonna close. So you have obviously a lot of people 70 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.560 that are going to be pouring into that neighborhood. You 71 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.479 would expect it to be police all over, and that's 72 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.240 what you were advocating for on your on your Facebook posts. 73 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.159 How come there were police on the on the corners 74 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:42.840 of the street in an area where you knew, damn 75 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.360 Weather's going to be a whole bunch of people. 76 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:50.919 My point exactly, why didn't you have police on every corner, 77 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:56.400 saturated to tell people welcome to Cincinnati, wave at people. 78 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:01.960 But no, why because administration did not allocate the proper 79 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:07.080 units downtown to deactivate things like this. 80 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.360 Or just to prevent them from happening by their mere presence. Absolutely, yeah, 81 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.759 and that you know the police presidence is so critical. 82 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.319 Now respond to this, and I'm not really playing devil's 83 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.759 advocate because I'm in full agreement with your perception at 84 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.560 what should have gone down. But her response Police Chief 85 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.639 three Figi's response might be, well, we're understaffed. They only 86 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.839 had three officers at that moment in time, at three 87 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.959 o'clock in the morning that were even available to respond. 88 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.240 That's a pretty sizable area. And of course with all 89 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:40.600 those people there, clearly three officers ain't gonna cut it exactly. 90 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.560 So if you know you're gonna be understaffed prior to 91 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.839 then wouldn't you make the proper adjustments beforehand? We knew 92 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.879 a year out this event is coming to town, and 93 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.839 you see the things that are curring. But yet you 94 00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.639 did not plan effectively and had no type of strategy. 95 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.199 So that should tell you once again leadership matters, and 96 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.480 in this case, leadership failed. 97 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.560 And what do you have? 98 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.480 Total chaos in the city of Cincinnati. I told them 99 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.959 before you must want got them city. And I've always 100 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.600 said on my post, who's next? 101 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:19.519 Who's next? 102 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:20.480 There? 103 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.639 But for the grace of God, go anybody that goes downtown. 104 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.920 And I know you had some really pointed comments and 105 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.639 warnings to my white friends out in the listening audience 106 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.040 about what they should prepare for and maybe shouldn't even 107 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.000 bother going downtown because I think that's your choice as well. 108 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.879 He said, major events like that, you're not going to 109 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:39.879 get anywhere near them. 110 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.279 Absolutely not, absolutely not. We see what's going on even 111 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.600 locally and abroad nationwide, and if the police are not 112 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.480 setting things up for us to feel safe and secure, 113 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.480 and I walk into a situation and I see angry people, 114 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.560 I see situations happening, and I just want to come 115 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.519 out of an establishment and just walk down the street, 116 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.079 and I may have an altercation and the next thing 117 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.160 you know, me and my friends may get completely beat down. 118 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.079 And the narrative of being twisted, which is very interesting 119 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.600 that I've seen. If this was an entire all white 120 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.720 mob on a black person, it would be considered a 121 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.319 hate crime from the get go, from the get go. 122 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.160 But even Chief Fiji set there and said, this fight, 123 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.199 this fight, We do know who it is. Turn yourself in, no, 124 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.920 put these individuals on blast, name them by name, Let 125 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.800 the people in the community know this behavior is unacceptable. 126 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.240 So if it was actually disgusting to her, why are 127 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.480 you requesting they turn themselves in versus putting their picture 128 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.240 on TV and saying this is who it is, and 129 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:56.199 we're coming to get you. 130 00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.639 We'll bring back Andre Outstanding seven thirty six.

You know, I apologize I didn't 156 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.519 get a chance to see her most recent post, but 157 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.560 caption all in caps. This makes me sick. City leaders 158 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.680 calling in the Lincoln Ware Show saying the white man 159 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.519 got the action he deserved. Now, I had heard that 160 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.240 that some people said that this was totally justifiable. And 161 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.480 I don't know what led to the ultimate melee and 162 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.320 beat down of these people, but I can't come up 163 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.120 with a single action that could justify that mob behavior. 164 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:42.000 How could anybody suggest that that man or the woman 165 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.919 who got punched square in the face deserved what they got. 166 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:52.279 Exactly, There is no justification, period, zero justification. And when 167 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.360 you look at that and the comments that were called 168 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.720 in into the lincoln Ware Show, when you can read 169 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.080 the comments and people saying, yeah, that's what he get. 170 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.559 You bring the action, you get the action. 171 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:08.720 And we had literally leaders like David Whitehead, the leader 172 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.320 of the NAACP call in, and it seemed as if 173 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.000 he was being motivated by the comments that were constantly 174 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.559 going against Smitherman. 175 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.080 Collin Smitherman a coon, a sellout. 176 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:25.399 And I'm sitting there watching and I'm listening and I'm reading. 177 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.440 I said, this is disgusting that we have blocks that 178 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.840 are saying this is what you get. So that's why 179 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:38.240 I also stated, no wonder our young people are following suit, 180 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.879 because if our own leaders are saying this is how 181 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:47.840 you handle business, then don't say absolutely nothing to our children. 182 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.480 You know, that's a really, really good point. And Christopher's 183 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.440 been on that theme for a long time. It's where 184 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:58.320 are our city leaders advocating to support the police, to 185 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.519 support non violent to you know, engage in a positive 186 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.399 relationship with the police for the betterment of the communities. 187 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.679 And I've heard time and time again the vast majority 188 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.519 of blacks, if you talk to them individually, they want 189 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.000 safe streets. They don't have a problem with the police. 190 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.759 In fact, as illustrated by over the weekend, there aren't 191 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:21.240 enough around. We need more. But the loud voice gets 192 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:25.279 the attention, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and sadly, 193 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.679 you know, the squeaky Wills. Perhaps the president current president 194 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.840 of the NAACP's part of the problem. I don't know, 195 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.000 but they're the ones that people tend to listen to. 196 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:37.519 And that sounds like what representatives of the black community 197 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.600 are advocating for. And yeah, that's gonna rub off on children. 198 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:47.480 Absolutely, absolutely think about this. Sheryl Long literally remove District 199 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.000 five to get completely out of a community. But yet 200 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:55.320 the mayor and the chief stand by and say safety 201 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:57.840 is our number one priority. 202 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.799 And we see that ar Herringer. 203 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.360 She blew the rooftop off of a lot of issues 204 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.240 that the city was portraying and tested her own numbers 205 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.279 against theirs. And so if it's your top priority, and 206 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.679 now all of a sudden you're saying, oh, we need 207 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.879 more police, but you took a police district out of 208 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:19.639 a community. 209 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.720 Make it make sense, brother, Brian, please. 210 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.679 I can't, ye know. 211 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.759 The only thing I can come up with, Andie is 212 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.879 they are so afraid of acknowledging that there's a crime 213 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.799 problem because it's bad press. It's gonna maybe make people considered. 214 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.559 I don't want to move to Cincinnati, but you, I mean, 215 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.639 you can't deny your I mean it's like don't believe 216 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.080 you're lying. Eyes. People who live in the city know 217 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.799 there's a problem. I mean, the police know the problem, 218 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.519 and the ignoring the problem, and I think it's really 219 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.799 probably driven by just the fact that we just don't 220 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.840 want to acknowledge it, to talk about it because it 221 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.720 just looks bad. Well, welcome to front page news across 222 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.120 the United States of America with what happened on Saturday morning. 223 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:06.519 Absolutely one thousand percent. And police officers are frustrated. Oh yeah, 224 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.720 they are extremely frustrated because I know for a fact 225 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.320 that they do go out here and do their job 226 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:16.879 and deal with a lot of issues, and they deactivate 227 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.360 as much as they can. 228 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.519 They really do. 229 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.360 But I've been an advocate to always say I'm not 230 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.600 here to take sides. I'm here to save lives, and 231 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.480 if my fellow officers are doing something they shouldn't be doing, 232 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.519 I've always wanted to be an advocate to say, look, 233 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.840 this is what's right, and this is what's wrong. 234 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.440 But when I see it wrong, and I see. 235 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:42.039 A community constantly going against itself, murders on the ride, 236 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:46.759 black on black crimes, and these same civil leaders have 237 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:53.080 nothing to say, absolutely nothing. That's disgusting because we both 238 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.559 know that the multiple murders that occur are with on 239 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.440 our black youth and the murders in Cincinnati, and no 240 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.679 one is taking accountability. 241 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.879 We'll bring back Andre for one more segment Andre Ewing 242 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:07.799 before we get to the bright Bart Insights scoop after 243 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.879 the top of the our news again.

Chuck ingramon fifty five 265 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.440 krs Deep talk station. 266 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:17.440 Seven seven here fifty by PARASEV talk Station Mariyantown was 267 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.679 with Andre Ewing, retired police officer. And you're you're like 268 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.759 a community activist. 269 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.480 You speak to the youth groups, and. 270 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.279 You know, I guess I'm just kind of curious what 271 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.000 you're doing in your your your in the time you're 272 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.080 not here at my studio talking to my listeners. 273 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:32.840 Right. 274 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:35.720 Just did something with the Urban League. 275 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.600 It was powerful, Oh yeah, the Urban Champions, and just 276 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:44.600 had a great encounter with some young youth and trying 277 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.919 to promote and show them there's a different way to 278 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.120 go about situations. And it's interesting everything that we told 279 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.159 them to do. What they saw downtown was exactly the example. 280 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.799 We said, this is what happens if you run to 281 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.600 a fight, if you go to a fight, if you 282 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:06.840 present yourself and has speakers there telling them to turn 283 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:11.720 the other way and to make sure that everyone is safe, everyone, 284 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:12.559 not just some. 285 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.600 Well, I appreciate your speaking to the young people. They 286 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.519 certainly need a clear and convincing voice like yours. 287 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:18.240 Um. 288 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.360 But speaking of change, and I said to you off air, 289 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.759 I said, you know what, Andre, You and I both 290 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.080 know it. Come November, the residents of the city of 291 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.159 Cincinnati have an opportunity to vote. And you know, the 292 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.840 definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and 293 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.519 over again and expecting a different result. But they're still 294 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.399 going to vote for the same clowns in office. And 295 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.759 you had advocated for a change in administration on your 296 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.679 onet of your recent videos. What's your take on the 297 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.559 upcoming election in November? And do you think this is 298 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.759 an opportunity for change in the city of Cincinnati. 299 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:50.600 It's a perfect opportunity for change. It's interesting because if 300 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.039 this was a professional team and they went oh for twelve, 301 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.559 what do you do we want to. 302 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.120 Go oh and twelve again? 303 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.919 We talk about the Bengals, if they would have had 304 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.639 the proper defense in place, guess what might be talking about? 305 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.600 Super Bowl champs with the offense that they had, but 306 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.960 guess what they decided to get more power, impactful people 307 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.240 on defense. So let's deal with the truth of the matter. 308 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:21.080 We are in a position to make change. I would 309 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.240 love to see the debate. Let them go at it 310 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:28.000 one on one. Debate this thing go right at the 311 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:33.519 situation and let's see who exactly would be best for 312 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.720 the position of mayor. Because at this point, what we 313 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:42.039 have seen and if you want this to continue at 314 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:46.399 this state, we are going to be in a world 315 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.960 of mess. And it's exactly what we see and it 316 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.440 should start from the top down. And I've said it before, 317 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:58.720 Teresa Thiji needs to go just just go out. There's 318 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.960 so many powerful candidates out there, so many powerful candidates 319 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:07.000 out there. She needs to resign, leave at this moment 320 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.880 and allow us to go out and see if there 321 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.839 are other individuals more qualified, more experienced and understand city 322 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.960 dynamics and are willing to work with everyone. 323 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.119 Well this police chief, Thesi, and I don't presume it, 324 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.480 but I presume that you do regularly speak with members 325 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.279 of law enforcement who are still actively with the police department. 326 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.319 I mean you got friends, right, you hear you talk 327 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.400 to them, how's it is there a sense that they 328 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.160 have any respect for leadership within the department? 329 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.359 Zero leadership and that's a shame. 330 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.680 And I had this on one of my posts is 331 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:49.440 where Sheryl Long was going into several police districts with 332 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:55.079 actually Scottie Johnson and ask the police officers who would 333 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.240 you like to see a chief? And at the time 334 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:03.240 the majority had sat back and said, well, Lisa Davis, 335 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.440 Colonel Lisa Davis, So would we think she would be 336 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.519 a great advocate. She's a community person, she understands And 337 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.680 guess what, she still picked Teresa Thiji. Now that's interesting 338 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:20.960 because people did not officers did not want her in 339 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.920 the morale and what you see and people being motivated 340 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.039 started from the top down and what Ryl Long decided 341 00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:34.319 to do without listening to officers and the proper way 342 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.039 to select the chief of our city. And from these results, 343 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:43.960 you are seeing us getting blasted by individuals on podcasts 344 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.759 across the country talking about our city and how terrible 345 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.160 it is. 346 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.079 So low morale. And then I'm sure we of course 347 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.319 know about the low morale within the police department because 348 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.480 of the criminal justice system generally speaking, why bother arresting 349 00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.839 the kid for breaking curfew when there is going to 350 00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:02.039 be nothing at all, zero done. 351 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:06.640 To them, absolutely zero, nothing will happen. Usually if we 352 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.680 even take someone to twenty twenty a juvenile, we're calling 353 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.640 their parents on the way, make sure you come get 354 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:14.519 your child. 355 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:16.880 As soon as they come in. They're walking straight out. 356 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.519 And these kids understand the system that they can take 357 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:23.359 it to the whole next level and then say, well, 358 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.799 when I turn eighteen, I'll just get my record expongs. 359 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:31.759 Absolutely ridiculous. Gun laws need to be increased, that we're 360 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:33.720 not playing if you get caught with a gun, we're 361 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.000 not playing games with you. We're gonna hold you accountable. 362 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.559 You will do some time, You will do some time. 363 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.640 So these judges need to step it up and stop 364 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.279 playing games. 365 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.039 Yeah, that's always very puzzling to me, because you know, 366 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.200 if after Purvo had his way, he would take away 367 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.160 everyone's guns. And that's not your position, because you had 368 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.440 advocated on one of your posts that we should be armed. 369 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.680 You know, you know, go to the rain train, learn 370 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.480 how to properly use it. You know, you know, if 371 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.079 you as long as you're lawfully able to carry a firearm, 372 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.920 you probably should because that way you can defend yourself. 373 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:13.880 And that's just the society we live in today. But 374 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.200 now what is the perception of defending yourself? That's why 375 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:22.000 I said, when you were downtown in this circumstance, and 376 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:27.200 if somebody had a firearm and started to just let off, 377 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.039 we would have at least twenty to twenty five people 378 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:37.680 dead and more critically injured based on this situation while 379 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.880 people were armed, and I bet you there were people 380 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.359 that were armed that maybe just didn't pull their weapon 381 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:46.000 at the time. But during that beat down, would someone 382 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.200 had been justified to pull in and try to save 383 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.960 the gentleman who was getting mobbed against, who was getting 384 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.640 attacked and kicked brutally and savagely. He could be a 385 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.160 damage for life, brain damage he was, and a woman 386 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.400 savagely was struck. So if somebody would have put out 387 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.720 a gun and start a firing, would they have been wrong? 388 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.880 No, they wouldn't you know what I'm thinking of the 389 00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:13.319 guy who saved maybe multiple lives at that walmart up 390 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.400 was it Milwaukee? The guy that was stabbing, he stabbed 391 00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.920 eleven people and long comes a marine with a firearm. 392 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.960 They didn't put the guy down but stopped the violence 393 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.759 from happening. If you have reasonable and eminent apprehension of 394 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.400 grievous bodily harm that guy was suffering from grievous bodily 395 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.200 harm at the time, or you have a legitimate, reasonable 396 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:35.799 fear for your own life, you were allowed to use 397 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.200 deadly force. So and I talked with the FOP president 398 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.200 just the other day about that. He agreed with me completely. 399 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.039 Absolutely use of a firearm or to those circumstances would 400 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.839 have been justified. 401 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.720
