Derek Chauvin is on trial for the death of George Floyd, who was shot to death by a Taser during a traffic stop. The defense argues that the Taser was used in self-defense and that Chauvin should have been given the chance to use a lesser force option.
00:00:37.000you the trial of Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd
00:01:00.000continues and man I got to say after today and after the other day to me I think
00:01:06.000intent is off the table I feel like if the jury sees what I see, and they probably don't, because, you know, who knows, I don't think I'm always right about everything, but I look at this and I'm just like, wow, was it bad for the prosecution.
00:01:17.000I'll just give you a couple of the big points.
00:01:19.000The defense apparently got Floyd's vehicle searched eight months later, found a speedball.
00:01:25.000This is like the big story that's breaking right now.
00:01:37.000The state brought in a paid expert to testify, to say the things the state wants the jury to hear.
00:01:44.000And in cross-examination, the defense said, based on active resistance, Derek Chauvin would have been in the right to immediately approach George Floyd and tase him.
00:01:56.000Tasers, as you know, can be lethal, cause cardiac arrest.
00:01:59.000The defense pointed out, however, Chauvin chose to use a lesser force option of restraint, and the state's witness agreed that Derek Chauvin used lesser force.
00:02:11.000It's crazy, because he had previously testified that using the restraint was excessive force, and the defense effectively got him to say, well, couldn't he have used more?

00:04:22.000But let's just get straight to the news, man.
00:04:27.000The Daily Mail reports Derek Chauvin jury hears how his defense team found half-chewed speedball pill in patrol car with George Floyd's DNA on it eight months after cop searches.
00:04:54.000The defense has not even begun its case yet.
00:04:56.000The defense has not even brought in its own witness, and already we're hearing that Derek Chauvin could have used more force, that even one of the witnesses agreed with the defense that Chauvin's knee was not on the neck, but in fact between the shoulder blades.
00:05:15.000Now the craziest thing about all this, with all this stuff going on, The media keeps telling you, because we talked about this last night, the media keeps telling you, oh, the cop said Chauvin bad.
00:05:22.000The cop said Chauvin couldn't do this.
00:05:24.000And they get all these people in the prosecution.
00:05:26.000They get all these cops coming up and saying, like, Chauvin shouldn't have done that.
00:05:43.000The state can come out with all the cops in the world giving their opinion, but all the defense has to do is poke one hole in one argument, and that's it.
00:05:51.000So now that we got the story dropping about a speedball, which is fentanyl and methamphetamine mixed together being found in the patrol car with Floyd's DNA on it, Causation goes out the window.
00:06:00.000Now it's like, okay, what really caused the death of George Floyd?
00:06:03.000Because we have the medical examiner statement, but what is the jury going to believe?
00:06:06.000Is there going to be reasonable doubt?
00:06:08.000So we get this tox report that shows he had fentanyl, norefentanyl, methamphetamine in his system.
00:06:12.000And then the defense seems to be doing a pretty good job with the state.
00:06:15.000So you combine that with the state's own witness saying that Chauvin could have used a taser if he wanted to, but chose to use a lesser amount of force.
00:07:18.000And the manslaughter charge is obviously with the intent or with negligence or knowing that you're doing something that could cause the death of a person.
00:07:28.000So if he was kneeling on his neck, With the knowledge that his unreasonable action will cause the death of George Floyd, then that's where they can get him at.
00:07:41.000I don't think that they can prove that.
00:07:42.000I don't think they've done a good job at proving that because you can look at the video footage from today where they show the angle of his knee is facing towards the patrol vehicle which would not be at the proper angle to be Consistent with being across the neck of George Floyd.
00:07:57.000It's showing that it's maybe a part of his neck and on his upper shoulder area, which is how the maneuver is trained.
00:08:05.000I did the maneuver like that plenty of times.
00:08:07.000Never put the knee on the neck, but you do put it on the upper back.
00:08:15.000Even if you're trained to put the knee on the back, in a heated situation, with someone actively resisting, using their feet to kick, people surrounding you screaming and threatening you, is it reasonable to say that someone might poorly execute the maneuver?
00:08:31.000I don't think this is the situation where, unless you're a trashy cop, that any of what happens should cause you to poorly Produce any maneuver.
00:08:41.000I mean, George Floyd was pretty much subdued.
00:08:57.000He was hoping that somehow He had a medical emergency where they'll take him to the hospital and probably not in the back of the patrol car.
00:09:03.000That's why he was complaining and making all these claims.
00:09:06.000Therefore they would, it would necessitate them to call the ambulance and not take him to jail.
00:09:10.000And so I think that's what, that's what George Floyd was attempting to do.
00:09:14.000However, I've been in situations that were way more intense than what Chauvin was going through.
00:09:20.000Now, of course I wasn't on the scene, so I don't know what he was feeling.
00:09:22.000I don't know the energy that was there.
00:09:24.000I don't know the effect of the people that the people had on him, but, It wasn't that crazy.
00:09:39.000He's on the ground lifting them off their feet because he was so high on drugs.
00:09:43.000Now, that's a situation where your knee may slide from the shoulders to the neck.
00:09:49.000And now you're in a position where you're probably fighting for your life because if he happens to get up, he's going to hurt you.
00:09:55.000If you got three men can't hold him down, he's going to probably hurt you.
00:09:58.000So, this is what I'm trying to say, and I'm not trying to say in any way to defend Chauvin.
00:10:02.000I'm just presenting a logical defense in terms of what the defense could be bringing up.
00:10:07.000Chauvin could just be a really bad cop.
00:10:08.000Like, he doesn't know what he's doing.
00:10:12.000Some people are good at basketball, some people are not good at basketball, you know what I mean?
00:10:16.000So Chauvin is in a situation where it's not that intense.
00:10:20.000For manslaughter, like you said, it's gotta be negligence.
00:10:22.000Like, you were doing something that could have reasonably caused harm, and then you killed somebody.
00:10:26.000But if Chauvin is trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu or ground control techniques, and they're like, here's what you do, and then he goes, duh, like this, and does it wrong, How can you argue that he was even trying to cause harm in any capacity?
00:10:39.000If he was trying to use a ground control maneuver that the cops are trained to do, and he's just not good at it, how do you get him on a crime?
00:10:48.000I mean, they cannot expect That everyone's training, and they brought it out, the defense brought this out, that everyone's training is not 100% consistent.
00:10:57.000You have a little stick figure that's on a picture that shows a little bit about how you're supposed to do things.
00:11:41.000Because if he died from taking a bite out of a speedball, if he, you know, died from methamphetamine and fentanyl, he was actually dying from the moment he put it in his mouth and he was just a ticking time bomb.
00:11:51.000Then none of what the prosecution is bringing forth is going to matter.
00:11:55.000You saw what happened with Maurice Lester Hall, right?
00:12:03.000He pleads the Fifth, but more than that, his lawyer comes out and says he could incriminate himself in third-degree murder charges in the death of George Floyd, and it's like, what?!
00:13:35.000And there were cops that were there before he got there.
00:13:37.000And you know, when this all first went down, Everybody basically watched a video was like dude that's messed up like he should have done that But that's I guess we all fall for this sometimes because we don't know what was going on So the the defense pointed out that Chauvin received a priority one call, you know sirens lights rush to the scene We've got an active resistance from a guy who's six foot six 230 pounds And so this is where it gets crazy because then he asks this.
00:14:03.000Okay, this is this is important the state literally paid this guy and How much did they pay him?
00:14:08.000$10,000 to pay him right there and then they paid him another like $30-something hundred just to show up in court.
00:14:13.000So to be a consultant or expert witness $10,000 and then they paid him to show up in court.
00:14:17.000So this guy that was the state paid to come to tell the jury Chauvin did bad Basically says that Chauvin, as soon as he got that priority one call, and heard there was active resistance, Chauvin could have walked out of his car, drew his taser, and just fired at Floyd.
00:14:39.000The temperament, the defense was able to establish a well-mannered temperament, which kills the depraved mind articulation in, I think, the third-degree murder charge or whatever.
00:14:51.000It kills that articulation because, people have to understand, level one calls are the highest priority call that you can get.
00:15:32.000It seems like Cup Foods is in the hood.
00:15:34.000It seems like there's all kinds of stuff happening at Cup Foods.
00:15:36.000But when you hear it over the radio, you can't see George Floyd.
00:15:40.000You can't see a guy that's cracked out of his mind, you know, a myth out of his mind.
00:15:43.000You can't see if the officers really have control or not.
00:15:46.000You are going off of your own memory and experience.
00:15:49.000So, when the level one call comes out and you hear it over the radio, your stress level goes out of the roof because you're imagining the worst.
00:15:56.000He's probably imagining that these rookies are getting it handed to him by this big, crazy guy that's high on these drugs.
00:16:02.000And when he get there, he sees that he's sitting in the car.
00:17:59.000You don't want to get a person getting too confident and then they start doing all this crazy stuff and now you have to use crazy amount of force on them in the end.
00:18:08.000Then he falls out and bumps his head and breaks his neck and you're going to be liable for that.
00:18:13.000And think about this, they put him in the car and Floyd, on the body camera, is saying, put me on the ground, put me on the ground, and he's kicking.
00:18:20.000And so Chauvin goes, all right, I'm gonna do what he wants.
00:18:24.000Chauvin should have been like, nah, we're not putting you on the ground, get in the car, dude.
00:18:26.000If you were harder on him earlier, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to command you to put him on the ground.
00:18:40.000He could start going crazy on them, and they're out there flustered.
00:18:44.000So, in the beginning, when he was cool, you'd be cool with him.
00:18:47.000If you're gonna try to attempt to put him in a patrol car, you need to either put him in there, or you don't put him in there.
00:18:51.000And if you put him in there, you need to start accelerating.
00:18:54.000Because you're gonna have to get him in there.
00:18:55.000If you play around with him, he's gonna, I can't breathe, and he's gonna kick himself out of the car onto the ground, and now he's on the ground, and you're not gonna get a six foot six, 230 pound crack head, meth head, Into a patrol car after he's prone on the ground. He's
00:19:10.000never going in a patrol car after that So if you want to put him in there you put him in there you
00:19:14.000use force and you put him in there you make him Get in the car and then you shut him in there. You don't
00:19:19.000this is crazy I mean when you go through the body camera footage and
00:19:23.000based on what you're saying It sounds like they went I'm not trying to say well, I'm
00:19:27.000just gonna say it It sounded like they were... They didn't do enough.
00:19:31.000They weren't... I don't want to say aggressive.
00:19:40.000They played around with him, like you said.
00:19:41.000And if they just told Floyd, we're not putting you on the ground, we're not gonna do what you're asking, you're under arrest, none of this would have happened.
00:19:55.000And when you let people get an inch, they take a mile.
00:19:58.000An experienced police officer will be able to diagnose very quickly that George Floyd is either having a real medical emergency or he's not.
00:20:09.000They claim a medical emergency so that they can have the police, the, the, the ambulance come and they hope to go to the hospital hoping that you will, because what happens is if, if you swallow drugs, right?
00:20:20.000A fake, a fraudulent $20 bill isn't a serious charge in many jurisdictions.
00:20:25.000They're not going to waste their time trying to go too far if you end up having a medical complication.
00:20:29.000So, Typically what could happen is that you have a medical complication you claim it you have some type of reaction to swallowing drugs Instead of you get in the back of police car go into the substation you go to the ambulance go to the hospital They have to pump your stomach and do all these other things many police departments do what we call long form which means they leave you and
00:21:10.000So, I think that's what it's called in Illinois, where they basically arrest you, but I do air quotes because what happens is the cop will walk up to you, say you're under arrest, fill out a form, sign this, you're free to go.
00:21:24.000It's basically the same as arrest, but they just don't bring you to the station.
00:21:27.000So what happens is they give you a ticket and you sign the ticket promising to appear in court.
00:21:31.000If you fail to appear in court, now they can get a warrant for your arrest.
00:21:33.000So it's the same process without booking.
00:21:36.000Because what happens is, you know, in many of the police departments, people don't notice that if the county runs the jail, the police department, the city, has to pay for every person they intake.
00:21:45.000And that's a money, that could be a money grab.
00:21:48.000So what we did as a police department, people who were DUI, Um, well, no, not DUI, but people who are marijuana in possession of marijuana, because in Arizona, the threshold is two pounds.
00:21:58.000And then you, you know, then that's, then you got to go to jail.
00:22:01.000Anything with you guys got a huge bag and you're like, you're at 1.9.
00:22:07.000And so it's a usable amount or what they call a personal use.
00:22:09.000So anything under two pounds, you can cite and release people depending on what you want to do.
00:22:14.000So what we would do is we'll cite and release them in most cases, unless there's more, you know, circumstances surrounding your arrest, like multiple arrests or whatever.
00:22:23.000Either way it goes, you're promising to appear in court, either through booking or you're promising to appear in court on the side of the road.
00:22:29.000And if you're not a big threat of fleeing, they'll just sign your ticket and you'll walk away.
00:22:33.000You ever have people you saw doing like a non-violent crime and you're just like, I'm not gonna mess with this guy?
00:22:44.000Like, you know, I'll be going to another car, probably the car doing a beat, and I see the same drunk.
00:22:49.000Because because you know drinking alcohol in public is a crime the same drunk out there on public property on private property Drinking a 40 ounce and he's just drunk.
00:22:58.000He's gonna drink that thing and go behind the building and nobody cares He's just he's the neighborhood drunk or he's gonna go off to a house and squat It's a waste of my time.
00:23:08.000Because there are people who really need my services.
00:23:10.000Maybe if the day is slow, I may go and address the gentleman.
00:23:13.000But other than that, you know, you let him go.
00:23:15.000You know, sometimes you see a person... Was that a hand-to-hand or was it not?
00:24:07.000I gotta wonder if the state is actually throwing the prosecution on purpose.
00:24:13.000Like, I'm reading these blog posts from Legal Insurrection, they got great analysis.
00:24:18.000You look at ABC, CNBC, you know, and whatever, and they're basically like, the police say Chauvin did this wrong, police say Chauvin used excessive force, witness says Chauvin did this, and they're only telling you one side of the fight.
00:24:31.000So it's like the way I described it yesterday is, it's a boxing match where the commentator is saying like, you know, oh, Brandon hits him again, hits him again, hits him again.
00:24:38.000And they don't, what they're not telling you is that for every time you hit Ian, Ian hits you five times.
00:24:42.000So then when the ref's like, Ian wins, people are like, what?
00:24:45.000People are being set up to believe that Chauvin's going to get convicted because of the mainstream headlines.
00:24:50.000I'm reading the legal insurrection analysis about the state's own witnesses constantly backfiring on the prosecution. They bring in this MPD officer to talk
00:25:00.000about like training, use of force, and he's like, oh I once did the same thing. It's like, oh
00:25:05.000geez dude. And so I'm wondering, and I'm not saying it's true, I'm just saying it's a
00:25:09.000thought. Is it possible that the state is like, if Chauvin actually goes down for this, we're gonna get 200
00:25:19.000If you're a white cop and you see, you know, someone doing a handoff or whatever, you're going to be like, oh, dude, I'm not going to be that guy in the news being called a racist.
00:25:25.000How many cops are going to look at what happened with Chauvin and be like, am I next?
00:25:30.000Am I going to be told to go and subdue some guys on drugs and they're going to try and put me in jail for it?
00:25:35.000Yeah, I think that definitely the second part of what you said, meaning that cops are going to have an adverse action to Chauvin getting prosecuted, especially when the case is so weak.
00:25:45.000I don't think the prosecution is trying to throw it.
00:26:24.000Well, the knee on the upper shoulder back Was accelerating the ticking time bomb or maybe had something to do with maybe had something to do with the ticking time bomb of george floyd so if the guy
00:26:37.000And the other case got off, then why would Chauvin be prosecuted for a similar reaction?
00:26:44.000So the cop in the Eric Garner situation?
00:26:45.000Eric Garner, I can't think of his name.
00:27:51.000There's actually the famous story of that guy who robbed a bank for $1, and then after he went and sat down waiting to get arrested because he had cancer, and he wanted to get health care from prison because he couldn't otherwise kill the guy.
00:29:29.000And so there's a scene in the movie, I think it's in the comic as well, where these two heroes are reminiscing about this one villain who is constantly like, arrest me!
00:29:56.000Yeah, in the case of Eric Garner, like this is the thing that I think is a two-fold thing here.
00:30:04.000Eric Garner shouldn't have been breaking the law.
00:30:07.000He had been arrested 40-something times before this one.
00:30:10.000Some of his arrests included selling Lucy, some of them included resisting arrest, but you got to think about capitalism and freedoms.
00:30:18.000The store that's selling full-price cigarettes is getting Jipped, because you got this guy who refused to work for the store or get a real job is selling cigarettes for a cheaper price right in front of his business.
00:30:33.000I don't know if they called the cops in this instance, but somebody called the cops because they showed up, not unless they were surveilling him.
00:30:39.000Which these guys look like they were in plain clothes, but I don't know if that's the way they do PD out there or not.
00:30:46.000The problem I have is, you know, when I see this video of the Eric Garner situation, and I'm like, it pisses me off.
00:30:51.000I see the George Floyd thing, it pisses me off.
00:30:53.000I see a lot of these videos that everybody gets pissed off, and in my initial reaction when these stories started, you know, becoming prominent through social media, was sympathy and support for the activists.
00:31:04.000Then I started actually looking at the evidence.
00:31:07.000Then the George Floyd thing was basically a big punch in the gut for me.
00:31:10.000Because when the George Floyd thing happened, conservatives, liberals, moderates, everybody was pissed off.
00:31:28.000When people who are like moderate, liberal, conservative of any persuasion actually investigate and find out, oh man, we might have been wrong on this one, they come out and say it.
00:31:39.000When they think there's injustice, they call for justice.
00:31:43.000But these leftists, when they're wrong, they just stop talking about it.
00:32:21.000But I never said he will be found guilty in the court of law.
00:32:24.000And I think I think the reason why is because I know policing, you know, and I reserve my opinions on the court of law because all the evidence hasn't been presented.
00:32:34.000You know, they keep saying that these people are are unjustifiably killed by police, creating an environment of hatred towards police, which is a big lie.
00:33:14.000No, not at the time, because the toxicology results that came back in the court of law in his trial Deemed that he was intoxicated, meaning that he had ingested marijuana at the time he got his permit.
00:33:24.000And therefore he illegally obtained a concealed carry permit.
00:33:28.000And even while he was illegally in possession of a concealed carry permit, he was violating the law at the time of his death because he was carrying a gun and he had illegal drugs in his possession.
00:33:39.000So he was in possession of illegal drugs while carrying a firearm.
00:34:02.000And it probably wouldn't have been that iffy gray area.
00:34:05.000This is where I get more Little L Libertarian and all this stuff.
00:34:08.000I don't blame an individual cop for the most part.
00:34:12.000I understand individuals bear responsibility for the actions they take, for the orders they follow.
00:34:16.000But if we're asking cops to effectively, you know, be neutral arbiters of the law, not saying they always are or typically are, but that's the idea.
00:35:04.000We got cops, the Floyd circumstance specifically, Floyd was freaking out because I think the cops caught him mid-drug deal.
00:35:11.000You know, Maurice Lester Hall was, it was testified by Floyd's girlfriend that he was their dealer.
00:35:16.000They find this speedball, they see the blood in his system.
00:35:19.000I think what happened was, it was a $20 counterfeit bill, not a big deal, but when the cops showed up, Floyd was like, we're, you know, it's like right now it's going down, this is serious charges, so he freaks out.
00:35:31.000If it wasn't illegal to do drugs like that, and you had a right, I don't think he would have freaked out.
00:36:47.000So, but what I do see is that the reason why Philando Castile and these laws are in place that a person is a possession of a firearm with illegal substances is because of the drug game.
00:36:59.000All of these young people that are getting killed in the inner city are getting killed in this ring of drugs, gangs, gun violence, all of these things which are trying to, which police are trying to combat via the legislators.
00:37:12.000And so, It's not a big deal to me because I don't carry illegal drugs on me while I'm carrying my firearm.
00:37:44.000I got these stories from the South Side where it's like, you know, my 16-year-old friends would be like hanging out, skating at a park or whatever, and they're smoking pot, and they would see like a cop pull up, and they'd all freak out and like throw it, and the cops would laugh.
00:37:54.000And there was one story where apparently like my friends are at a park, they're smoking, they see a cop roll up, they freak out, throw the pipe, the cops laugh and go, yo, we don't care.
00:38:04.000We're looking for a guy who's like 5'10, he's wearing a brown shirt, you see him?
00:38:38.000So there's a, you know, there's a time period in which crimes can be prosecuted and not, right?
00:38:45.000So if I go to a convenience store and I steal candy out of convenience store and it's just shoplifting, I committed a crime.
00:38:51.000A store can say, I don't want to prosecute.
00:38:54.000Therefore, the police department will not arrest me because the story didn't want to prosecute.
00:38:57.000However, they can prosecute as long as it's within a year or so of that crime or whatever the statute of limitations is for that particular crime.
00:39:06.000So the only thing that changes in the state of Arizona, and it's probably universal across the board, is domestic violence.
00:39:12.000So a woman getting her butt kicked can't say, no, I don't want to prosecute my baby daddy today.
00:41:19.000He did, but the thing is, I think he went about it in a roundabout way because he was so high.
00:41:23.000He was trying to convey to them that I want medical attention because I don't want to go to jail, but he didn't want to go ahead and admit that I swallowed the dope that Homeboy just sold me right here in front of the store.
00:41:35.000Let's try to buy with counterfeit money.
00:42:49.000Well, I don't know what he says, and it's not going to matter if Chauvin didn't write it in the case report.
00:42:54.000Because Chauvin could just deny that he heard anything.
00:42:56.000But the thing is, is that the prosecution is shooting themselves in the foot again.
00:43:02.000If he said I ate too many drugs and Chauvin did not recognize that he needed aid to be rendered to him, then Chauvin would be potentially culpable in not rendering aid to a person who admitted to swallowing drugs.
00:43:17.000And the prosecution turned around and said, no, he didn't say that.
00:44:43.000Which is another term that I haven't, at least I haven't heard every word of the case, but I haven't heard excited delirium brought up much.
00:44:49.000I wonder if, like, the prosecutor or the defense is going to listen to this and they're going to get the idea because the trial's ongoing.
00:44:56.000And then the state prosecutor is going to be like, the other day we mentioned that, you know, the defense said George Floyd said I ate too many drugs.
00:45:33.000Well, just for the sake of understanding fentanyl for a second, fentanyl is one of the most potent and dangerous drugs that I know that exist at this point.
00:45:43.000It is more, you know, dangerous than a horse tranquilizer.
00:45:46.000It is more potent, in little bitty grams of it.
00:45:51.000If you research, and I did a video about this and it showed a Phoenix police officer, and I'll tell you how it evolved, a Phoenix police officer with gloves on, Was handling a drug laced with fentanyl and he passed out and they had to administer Narcan to him or he would have died just for handling inhaling vapor from a drug laced with fentanyl.
00:46:14.000And our department, when I was on the department of fentanyl, when it first came to our understanding how potent it was, every drug we test, you have to wear a full hazmat suit to test every drug.
00:46:29.000Gloves, you gotta wear a mask, and you gotta have a complete hazmat suit on because fentanyl can seep through the skin, you can inhale it, and if you ingest it, you might as well call yourself dead.
00:46:38.000So we pulled up from the DEA.gov an image of a lethal dose of fentanyl, and it's next to a penny.
00:47:52.000And I almost think that any methamphetamine that is street level is going to be the crystal methamphetamine, because it's the way they cook it and put it together.
00:49:08.000You know, if you, if you a crystal meth, you, you, you have done a lot of other stuff to get a high and crystal meth is kind of like, especially if you're black.
00:49:26.000When you start getting the meth, you are on another level.
00:49:29.000You have now branched out of the typical drug arena that you're in, and you're starting to go and deal with people who are on another level of drug production.
00:49:38.000That's not every city, but in my city, that was... Do you know the lethal dose of methamphetamine is?
00:49:50.000Not only does the DEA have a photo showing you how just a tiny bit of fentanyl can kill you, but they also talk about between 10 and 20 nanograms per milliliter is anesthesia range, where you basically get knocked out.
00:51:09.000And they thought the cops killed him or something like that, but what happened was he got caught with marijuana, but he has other drugs that he ingested.
00:51:16.000And so he ended up ingesting them and dying.
00:51:19.000Like I said, I know people, and I'm not going to disclose how I know them, who they are specifically, but I know people that have gotten caught by the cops.
00:51:48.000But if people were just growing methamphetamine, I mean, it's a lot of chemical compounds to get meth.
00:51:53.000But if you had cocaine and you were just doing coca leaves and cocaine, I don't even know how it's made, but you're just doing it in your backyard, who cares?
00:52:02.000But no, but how did he get it is the question.
00:52:05.000What is he doing with it is another question.
00:52:08.000And a lot of times these people are getting it through nefarious means, meaning that they are contributing to the cartel in Mexico and all the trafficking that goes on and gun smuggling and trade.
00:52:18.000All of that goes into those drugs getting here, and when they get here, what are they doing to other people?
00:52:25.000To me, if you sell drugs, if you sell heroin to somebody, or you sell methamphetamine to somebody, I would like for that to be a form of attempted murder.
00:52:34.000If that person dies and you sold it to them, you should be charged with murder.
00:53:04.000Because they found they're extremely valuable and Americans has a high demand for avocados.
00:53:09.000So with the legalization of marijuana, what ends up happening is they're like, we used to have essentially a monopoly on this product because the government said it was illegal.
00:53:17.000So you needed someone under the radar to come and take it.
00:53:20.000Well, if it's legal, we're going to maximize profits.
00:53:24.000Now that people can get cheaper legal stuff, avocados are worth way more.
00:53:28.000So they started saying, okay, then they go to these avocado farms and they're like, we're going to distribute this for you from now on.
00:53:32.000And so what happens is a lot of that starts, a lot of that criminal enterprise gets, it breaks down because the cartels are like, avocados are legal.
00:53:47.000People are not smuggling alcohol, but they're still drinking it illegally, and they're still killing people probably more than methamphetamines killing people and drunk drivers and people beating their wives and killing people.
00:53:56.000Most calls that I went on, domestic violence related calls and violent
00:54:00.000calls, people were drunk. They were drunk off their butt.
00:54:33.000Maybe they'll be, it'll be in a different form where you put a little methamphetamine or, you know, now they put embalming fluid in marijuana and it's called, um, what did he call it?
00:56:46.000His girlfriend testified that they were both had some injuries and chronic pain and were prescribed opiates and then they got addicted to it.
00:56:53.000And that's a physiological dependence.
00:56:56.000So then they were like, when the doctor wouldn't give them anymore, they freaked out and just started becoming habitual drug users.
00:58:11.000You know, you're talking about $25, $50 a pill.
00:58:13.000I don't know how strong the pill was, but you're talking $20 something a pill, and you got 200 pills in this thing.
00:58:19.000You can make money, and people fake injuries, and they get injured, and they get in a dope game this way.
00:58:23.000So, I think that We should regulate the legalized drugs that we're already administering to people.
00:58:30.000We should regulate those things and make sure they're not abusing those things.
00:58:34.000And we should enforce these produced, unmanaged, like you said, You know, these drugs are not being, we don't know how they're making these drugs.
00:58:43.000You know, like I said, sherm, you know, smoking sherm is what I was referring to.
00:58:52.000When I was growing up, they used to call it primo, where you have weed, but you put a little crack, somebody put crack in it.
00:58:57.000That's why when you get your weed, you got to open it up and go through it and make sure people aren't putting pieces of crack or other drugs in your marijuana.
00:59:05.000And so some people smoking Primo and they don't know it, then they get addicted to crack or whatever drugs that they end up lacing the marijuana with.
01:02:44.000So I know he was lying and playing basketball.
01:02:47.000I want to get to the point of why I bring up the story with Hunter Biden smoking Parmesan cheese.
01:02:50.000This guy, Hunter Biden, can go on TV and admit to the world the son of the president is a crack addict that smoked whatever white powder he found on the underside of his table.
01:02:59.000The story about George Floyd, look, it's a big club.
01:03:08.000I thought you said he did something in college, didn't he?
01:03:10.000Yeah, I thought that's... I don't know for sure.
01:03:12.000He did TA, total absorption, where they take a hit of weed and you hold it in until it completely absorbs in and when you breathe out, there's no smoke.
01:04:10.000How many people have done cocaine and never got caught?
01:04:12.000Because they were doing it in a property or home, they may have escaped getting caught buying it from the dealer.
01:04:18.000But I mean, I think that there's a level of stupidity that comes along with people who get caught.
01:04:23.000As a former police officer, we didn't care, we used to have this saying, and it goes, every police department probably says this, you don't catch the smart ones.
01:04:30.000You don't catch people that's smart, you catch the dummies that are smoking weed, driving down the street, banging music with the windows down, smoking weed to the weed, just flying out of the car, and they drive by you and you're like, bro, are you really?
01:04:46.000Everybody at the stoplight is looking at me like, are you going to do something about this?
01:04:51.000And I would have never done anything about it.
01:05:05.000And in a way you gotta because if you don't, other people are going to emulate the behavior and everyone on the street is going to be high driving or not everybody.
01:05:12.000But now you heard like in a bunch of these states, cops can't pull people over for smoking weed.
01:05:17.000I mean, even, even when, you know, for smelling, for smelling the weed, for smelling weed, not smoking it because it's still impairment of driving impaired.
01:05:25.000But smelling marijuana is not justification for a stop?
01:05:28.000Yeah, that's been gone for our department.
01:05:31.000That's been gone probably since 2012 or earlier.
01:05:35.000When they started, it was a case that happened.
01:05:38.000I can't remember the name of the case, but once they started legalizing medical marijuana and stuff.
01:05:44.000The smell of marijuana is not a justification for you going to somebody's house because they could have a medical marijuana card.
01:06:02.000Fresh marijuana is a different smell, and that can give you justification to stop somebody and get a dog, or maybe even go into somebody's car.
01:06:09.000Is that partly because of intent to sell?
01:06:11.000Because I think what I learned is... No, it's that you have nothing left if you smoked it.
01:06:15.000Oh, so you're just looking for the peace, I guess.
01:06:16.000I've had cops pull me over and then lie, claiming they smelled pot.
01:06:26.000They said they smelled pot, and then what did they say?
01:06:28.000Then, he walks up to my car, and I got my wallet and my keys on the dashboard, I got my hands on the steering wheel, windows rolled down, cop walks right up and goes, Hey, how's it- Whoa!
01:07:34.000At this point, I'm talking to the other cop, and I guess the one cop goes back to my car, and he's telling me that it's gonna be really hard for me, it's gonna get a whole lot worse unless I just admit right now that I was driving under the influence, that I've been smoking.
01:07:47.000And I'm just like, dude, I don't smoke, we do random drug tests.
01:07:51.000At this point, the cop who pulled me over walks back over and goes, who's the firefighter?
01:09:32.000Because if you, what could you have done in that situation if I was a cop and I was telling you,
01:09:37.000like look, get their badge number, and your dad is a firefighter.
01:09:42.000He was a firefighter and then report them and your dad will have a lot more weight on the command staff because this is what people don't understand.
01:09:50.000Command staff don't give a F about these patrol officers.
01:10:42.000I don't care, you gotta leave, you can't be here.
01:10:44.000And then he's like, this is my house, where am I supposed to go?
01:10:48.000And then we get up, and then I start saying the same thing, like, my friend lives here, one of the security guards grabs the skin of my chest, like, just like, he pinches into my chest, and starts prodding my head, saying, are you stupid?
01:11:02.000So I'm like, dude, just like, left a physical mark on my body, and I'm, I'm a little arrogant, you know, prick, so I immediately call my dad, and I'm like, dude, this guy just walked up, Went on my friend's property, was told it was his property, and then he physically grabbed me, left a mark, and poked my head.
01:11:16.000That's assault and battery in Illinois.
01:11:43.000Cause he like, you know, grabbed, pinched into my chest.
01:11:45.000And then he's like, and he's probably, and all the other kids who were with me are like, yeah, he started poking him on the head with his hand, like mocking and calling him dumb.
01:11:51.000And the cop's like, all right, all right, we're going to the bottom of this.
01:11:54.000We see the cops walk over to the security guards, start talking, shake the hands of the guys, start laughing.
01:12:02.000And then the guy walks over and says, listen, you know, we're just gonna say, you know, we're done.
01:12:20.000The white shirt walks over to the, immediately, to the guy who was screwing with me, pats him on the shoulder, shakes his hand, starts laughing and smiling, walks over to us and says, here's what's gonna happen.
01:12:31.000Your son's gonna be arrested for trespassing, or you can leave right now.
01:12:35.000Because it turns out the guy who had committed assault and battery, I know it wasn't the biggest thing in the world, but in Illinois, assault and battery is when you embarrass someone or touch them.
01:12:55.000I mean, I could see it happening, man.
01:12:56.000I mean, to me, based on my experience, it's rare.
01:13:00.000But if you are to think that cops aren't gonna hold each other's back in some cases, they're not gonna lie in some cases, then you must think that cops are gods.
01:13:10.000You know, there's some there's some fallible human beings that make huge mistakes, and I want us to eradicate them.
01:13:18.000And you eradicate them professionally.
01:13:50.000You got a homeless veteran with no legs, and he's smoking a joint under a bridge with no one around, and the robot drone comes down and goes, violation section 23A, marijuana use in public, you are under arrest.
01:14:04.000And the guys, like a regular cop's gonna be like, I don't care about that.
01:14:06.000So bad laws, the cop uses his common sense and is like, I'm not gonna prosecute a bad law right now.
01:14:11.000Well, you know, I think that it'll work, but it'll get out of control.
01:14:16.000So you can, you know, the little drone thing, I mean, it just depends.
01:14:19.000Somebody just shoot the thing out the air and now it's a bigger deal, but.
01:14:22.000You throw a roll of toilet paper at it, it goes down.
01:14:24.000Yeah, you throw water at it or something.
01:14:26.000But if it was something that could actually catch people in crimes and it'll stick around until the cops can get there or whatever, Yeah, I mean, that could work, but then you get more manipulation.
01:14:37.000You're like, well, how far would this thing go, and what are they going to do in the next 10 years?
01:14:41.000Are they going to make physical cops that use force against you?
01:14:47.000And then they get out of control, and then whoever's controlling them, Now they make a law, and they use a force policy for, you know, you can't, a machine won't go to jail.
01:14:56.000So once it beat the crap out of you, it's not, nothing's gonna happen.
01:15:23.000I mean, honestly, just walking around with a body camera that's on 24 hours a day and monitoring all of his behaviors, it could say, it could prioritize certain things because In any given intersection, you can have a jaywalker and then somebody speeding.
01:15:35.000In any given intersection, you have a jaywalker and you have somebody else doing something else more egregious.
01:15:40.000Or you can have a person who's jaywalking and it's not a threat, or a person who's jaywalking across a green.
01:15:44.000You know, you're walking across a green light.
01:15:46.000And so there could be prioritized... I mean, they can do whatever they want to do with these computers, but I think it gets out of control.
01:15:54.000The government is not our friend, in my personal opinion.
01:15:57.000So you think it's easier to get corrupt cops under control, they're like buddy-buddy and won't turn each other in, than it is to keep robots under control?
01:16:33.000But then he does things that lead to other things that ended up getting himself fired because he started cheating on different things and manipulating numbers.
01:16:43.000He used to ask me to go on calls with him.
01:16:45.000I'm like, I don't even want to go on a call with you because you're going to get us in a position where I'm going to have to fight somebody or whatever the case may be.
01:16:54.000There's officers on the police department that are like that.
01:16:57.000And I'll tell you one unfortunate thing that you won't hear people say if they're, unless they want to be completely honest, is that there are cops that cops don't like, and they are bad cops, but they're not breaking the law.
01:18:42.000Yeah, the Constitution come before any laws.
01:18:46.000How could you be, you know, in New Jersey, where this one story, a woman was from Philadelphia, legally allowed to own a gun, and she was like mid-40s, and she jumped the bridge, you know, just like drove across the bridge, it's a five-minute drive, she wanted to go to the casino, she gets pulled over, cop without question arrests her, charges her with a felony for gun possession.
01:19:04.000She has a concealed carry permit from her state.
01:19:58.000People vote on legislators and legislators pass laws.
01:20:00.000And so when they pass a law, just because you don't like it, or maybe you feel that it's slightly infringing on your constitutional rights, don't mean That the police shouldn't enforce them.
01:21:01.000We'll put it in the totality of circumstances.
01:21:03.000We'll say, in the state of Arizona, constitutional carry, we don't need permits, we carry everywhere, conceal, whatever, and it doesn't matter.
01:21:09.000Now, one day, the public, in a democracy, you know, that we claim we live in, people can vote that there can be additive laws to restrict gun possession in certain cases, like convicted felons, different things like that.
01:21:23.000We arbitrarily vote for laws that thwart our constitutional rights, to a certain degree, and we vote for that.
01:21:31.000And not everybody, because some people don't agree with it, but some people do.
01:21:34.000That's what the Constitution's for, man.
01:21:37.000I know, and I think that's why you have case law and you have other things that are brought to the Supreme Court to give guidance on how to float with this.
01:21:45.000Because I guarantee you a person who has a concealed carry permit and they cross state lines, prosecuting them is going to be almost impossible.
01:21:53.000I can't see a person getting prosecuted for a felony charge if they're not Malice, if there's no malice in intent.
01:22:00.000I know it happens, but it's very rare unless there's culpability there.
01:22:05.000Like somebody intentionally saying, I'm gonna break the law that I know is present in this state, I'm gonna cross state lines, break the law, get caught doing something else with this gun, and you give prosecution moral.
01:22:15.000There was a story about an old lady who was in her 60s, and she was from, I think, Kentucky, and she had a legal permit for a revolver.
01:22:22.000She went to visit Chicago to see the sights, and she went to some tourism spot where she informed security, like, oh, before I go in, I just want to let you know I have my concealed carry with me, and they're like, right this way, ma'am.
01:23:24.000I have to read and listen to a court document of some judge sentencing somebody or even a prosecution's argument Beyond a reasonable doubt that this person is guilty of... This story was really controversial.
01:23:56.000And apparently the prison was like, they wouldn't, it was like ingestion or whatever, they were like, we're not gonna file this paperwork, this is ridiculous, this is insane.
01:26:16.000I'm about 10 miles under the limit because I'm getting off at an exit and I get pulled over.
01:26:20.000Cop walks up to me and says, you were speeding.
01:26:22.000I went to visit my sister because my brother-in-law was stationed in Iraq and she was, you know, suffering from anxiety, just like, you know, and so I'm like, okay, I'll, you know, I want to get out of the city.
01:26:29.000this or I can arrest you." So I signed the ticket. Okay, I guess I forget about it. I
01:26:33.000went to visit my sister because my brother-in-law was stationed in Iraq and
01:26:37.000she was, you know, suffering from anxiety. It's like, you know, and so I'm like, okay
01:26:41.000I'll, you know, I want to get out of the city. I'll go to Colorado. Once I
01:26:45.000came back two months later, I got pulled over and the cop walks up, he pulls me
01:26:51.000over, he walks up to the window, he goes, are you Tim Pool?
01:26:53.000And he goes, out of the vehicle, you're under arrest for driving on a suspended license.
01:27:00.000He was like, if someone can come and pick up your vehicle and drive you home, I won't take you to the station, but you have a court date for, you know, what did they say, it was a Class A misdemeanor, up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine for driving on a suspended license.
01:27:12.000When I went to court and I talked to the prosecutor and I was just like, I'm really sorry it happened.
01:28:49.000So I was just like, I don't know, and then I forgot about it.
01:28:51.000And then after a certain amount of time, it went into, uh, I forget what they call it, where it's- it becomes a guilty plea if you don't respond.
01:29:06.000So I'm gone for two months, right before I get a chance to go home, before I got any mail, knew anything was happening, they said, you broke the law by driving.
01:29:12.000Then they threatened me with a year in jail.
01:29:14.000That's kind of stuff I'm, you know, so I- So, you were guilty.
01:29:18.000I mean, you gotta say you were guilty, you were at fault, you were wrong.
01:29:22.000Now there's a great- Now hold on a second.
01:29:25.000I was legally guilty, but I did nothing wrong.
01:29:28.000But I'll say this, and I agree with you, but at the same time, this is why I want to empower young people to know how to fight these things when they feel like they've been done wrong.
01:29:38.000Because if you were not speeding, you have a right to fight that.
01:29:47.000All you gotta do is go to court and the state has the burden, it's not necessarily the same as a criminal charge, but the preponderance of evidence is gonna be on them.
01:29:56.000They have to show preponderance of evidence to cite you on a citation like that.
01:30:00.000So you should go to court and say, I was not speeding.
01:30:18.000Or was he somehow doing a visual estimate?
01:30:22.000Well, so in this instance, after I think it was like three months, there was a deadline to pay the ticket, and my sister paid it for me, and that was a guilty plea.
01:30:32.000And I didn't know about the suspension law.
01:30:35.000They said ignorance was no excuse for breaking it.
01:30:37.000But I also didn't realize that by saying, okay, I'll give you the money you've asked for, I was effectively going to be committed a crime by trying to go home.
01:30:43.000But here's the thing I realized after the fact.
01:30:46.000When I was back, this was in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
01:30:48.000When I was back, it was like late at night, it was like midnight or two in the morning.
01:30:52.000The cop who pulled me over, pulled me over illegally.
01:30:54.000What he did was, he ran my plates, saw my name registered to the car, saw that my name was associated with a suspended license, and that was just his grounds for pulling someone over, but that's actually not a legal stop.
01:31:06.000Because what if someone else was driving the car?
01:31:09.000He didn't have justification for stopping the car in the first place.
01:31:20.000No, but if he see your driver's license, if he see your driver's license, they have a picture of MBD driver's license, and the person in the vehicle look like you, it's very similar to you, similar characteristics, he can conduct an investigative stop.
01:31:31.000Meaning that he has reason to believe that you are Tim Poole driving, he see you, he believe that you're the same person that matched the driver's license.
01:31:38.000Some states prohibit this, but But some states allow it as an investigative stop.
01:31:43.000He can pull you over and you've confessed.
01:31:55.000So my understanding after the fact was that he needed a legitimate reason.
01:31:59.000It's like I ended up talking to lawyers or whatever, that you can't just assume somebody is driving a car because there's a lot of people who would look like a lot of people.
01:32:06.000And, you know, I guess Chicago Law and Dairy has issues with this kind of stuff.
01:32:10.000But ultimately, my complaint is, look, I get it.
01:33:00.000You can go and Google in the state law, whatever, or municipality.
01:33:04.000You can Google the law and read the statute.
01:33:05.000And it says very clearly, this statute has to be met.
01:33:08.000And if they don't, you're like, OK, I can defend myself in court.
01:33:11.000Your honor, according to this statute, subsection so-and-so, this, this, and this.
01:33:16.000I was not committing this, he pulled me over illegally.
01:33:18.000The state has the preponderance of evidence to prove.
01:33:21.000He has to prove more than 51% of the evidence that no, he was right.
01:33:25.000In this instance, the problem I have is at no point are you informed by anyone that if you get two moving violations under the age of 21, they suspend your license.
01:33:34.000They should inform you when you're getting your driver's license.
01:33:39.000Because then you have to go through and look at the laws, the driving laws.
01:33:42.000You should review them and hopefully on your driver's license, you confirm that you have reviewed and understood the laws that are on the books.
01:33:49.000By admitting to or accepting a driver's license, you are accepting the responsibility that you are aware of all the driving laws and you maintain a concurrent knowledge or an ongoing knowledge of the laws.
01:34:14.000I don't have to babysit you and let you know.
01:34:16.000You should look it up and know the laws yourself.
01:34:18.000Or you can hire a lawyer or you can, you know, so it's definitely difficult, but we need to be empowered and take our position back of saying, I don't have to default to a lawyer.
01:34:34.000I think the system needs, the system itself needs to default more to a libertarian stance of, alright we understand what happened in this regard, don't do it again.
01:34:45.000I would get furious at judges because they give people too many passes.
01:34:51.000Now I'm talking about a traffic ticket, that's whack.
01:34:53.000We would go to the court and people would lose those tickets and they'd just pay a fine and it's fine.
01:34:57.000Or sometimes they win, they go, well, I find that there's not a preponderance of evidence or whatever by the state, you're not guilty or whatever, not responsible, not guilty is a criminal charge.
01:35:07.000But when I would go to court, you're talking about going to court, They would let people off all the time.
01:35:12.000I had a guy, I arrested him four times.
01:35:14.000I arrested him four times in a matter of like a week.
01:35:44.000We ran through somebody's house, through the house, jumped backyards.
01:35:48.000He had all kinds of felony crimes he could have been charged with.
01:35:51.000Um, and this is another story of why the lady didn't prosecute, and this is the dumbest thing ever, and I have to mention it, but I'll go past that.
01:35:58.000Long story short, five misdemeanor crimes that he committed that day, which is after he committed felony crimes.
01:36:14.000He has a domestic violence warrant after his arrest because he beat up his aunt and then knocked her windows out of their house.
01:36:20.000So now I've arrested him three times for felony charges, violent charges.
01:36:24.000He's fleeing the police and he, I think it was two weeks later or a month later, I saw him out of jail at a bus stop.
01:36:31.000It's like, how on God's green earth do you commit that many crimes, and some of them are violent, domestic violence, and you don't even do a week in jail.
01:38:34.000And then tomorrow, make sure you reread everything or at least acknowledge all the changes made to every law so you know every law at every moment.
01:39:02.000You just need to know the functional laws.
01:39:03.000Like, maybe if you're going to speed, just know the speeding laws.
01:39:07.000You know, if you're going to be operating a motor vehicle and you know, whatever you need to know how to function a vehicle, know the turns, know the basic laws.
01:39:14.000If you're going to be murdering people, then you need to know the murder laws.
01:39:16.000But if you're not murdering nobody, you don't need to know laws around murder or laws around aggravated assault or domestic violence or if you're not going to be doing those things.
01:39:23.000But you can always read these laws and be informed as things pop up.
01:39:29.000I think it's invaluable for people to watch these cases that go on in the court of law.
01:39:33.000I used to watch court TV all the time, even when I was a cop, because you learn a lot.
01:39:36.000Like the George Floyd trial, people should be watching it, not only to pick a side, but to learn how the court system works.
01:39:43.000So when you mess around and be in court, hopefully not for murder, but when you go to court, you will understand the value of defense and the value of functionality.
01:39:55.000If you haven't already, smash that like button, comment, because all that stuff really does help.
01:40:00.000You're basically telling YouTube the show is great and you love it.
01:40:02.000If you're listening on iTunes or Spotify, leave us a good review, give us five stars, and don't forget, go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we're gonna have an exclusive members-only segment coming up after the show.
01:40:10.000But let's read some of these Super Chats.
01:40:11.000We do have a bunch of people who are basically already saying that they're so stoked that B. Tatum is here, finally.
01:41:26.000And I'm not trying to, you know, I'm giving them a boost right here, but I don't know much about credit, but I was able to build my credit score over 800 just using credit karma.
01:41:37.000And I say, well, I'm gonna fix these things.
01:41:38.000And then, you know, I Google a few things and listen to a few people and I'm able to build my credit.
01:41:41.000So, I didn't need to go to school for that and pay $40,000 and have somebody, you know, tell me about feminist studies and Black Lives Matter and then tell me about finances.
01:42:21.000Yeah, but the thing is, and I don't want people to get superfluous about it, but the question is, did the knee on the neck cause George Floyd to go into a cardiac arrest?
01:42:31.000So if Steven Crowder was high on drugs and had a knee on his neck, would it have caused him to go into cardiac arrest?
01:42:38.000Of course, a normal functioning person is not going to cause him to die.
01:42:40.000He does have a cardiac condition, though.
01:43:30.000And people don't realize this, too, because I've talked about, you know, to a certain degree, the quote unquote demilitarization, but I would say my opinion changed a little bit when I had a conversation with someone on the show about the options police have.
01:43:43.000So if you have a cop and literally police just have a 9mm or a revolver or a pistol, Well, when they get into a conflict, they have one choice.
01:43:51.000I can shoot the guy, or I cannot shoot the guy.
01:43:53.000And if they're facing lethal violence, or they're facing any kind of, you know, reasonable fear of harm, they can choose lethal.
01:43:59.000If you give cops rubber bullets, if you give them armored, you know, personnel carriers, if you give them better armor, they can choose a whole array of things that prevent lethal force.
01:44:09.000You know, if you're walking around with a vest on, like I was, you're not overconfident, but you're pretty sure you can stay in the fight, and you don't have to panic or whatever if you're going into somebody's house, because you've got a vest on.
01:44:21.000If they hit that bullet with a regular handgun and that vest that you've got, I mean, you can fight back and you can live through it.
01:44:27.000It gives you a level of confidence, and when you have multiple tools on the belt, you can use other things than shooting people.
01:44:32.000When you only have a gun, you either get your butt kicked or kill them.
01:44:35.000When you have other options, you know, you can be trained in less lethal and de-escalation tactics and stuff, and they all work well.
01:44:41.000Yeah, all right Christopher Westerham says I asked you this one Michael Malice was on maybe mr. Tatum knows something
01:44:47.000about it Why isn't the state pursuing felony murder rule against
01:44:50.000George Floyd's friends, Minnesota has the harshest I know it's that's a that's a that's a reasonable question,
01:44:57.000you know, and I think it's because politics Thank you. That guy was clearly implicated in the crime
01:45:02.000Why is the police officer and the police officer the only ones implicated in this crime?
01:45:07.000When through this investigation, they have learned that he was a drug dealer, testimony in the court of law by witnesses.
01:45:13.000He was the drug dealer who dealt drugs that led to the death of George Floyd.
01:45:17.000And especially once they find out he died from an overdose and not the knee on the neck, the statute of limitations is not over.
01:45:48.000All right, Stephan Morris says, Hey, Officer Tatum, have you had many encounters with sovereign citizens?
01:45:53.000Are they much different from other types of people who resist arrest?
01:45:56.000I haven't had many encounters with sovereign citizens, but we hear horror stories.
01:45:59.000Just know that cops, when they do meet sovereign citizens, it's a biased interaction because sovereign citizens in the academy are deemed like the most dangerous people and they kill police officers at a higher rate.
01:46:11.000They do not want anything to do with the government.
01:46:13.000So police officers are Nathan Raynor says Derek Chauvin did not have his hands in his pockets.
01:46:19.000that says sovereign or that you know free or whatever they write on the license plates.
01:46:24.000Yeah. The interaction with police is very tense because we are told that they're going to kill us.
01:46:28.000Yeah. Nathan Rayner says Derek Chauvin did not have his hands in his pockets. He is wearing
01:46:33.000black gloves. Oh if that's true thank you for clarifying that.
01:46:36.000Regardless, his hands were either in his pocket or on his side, and they weren't doing anything to help George Floyd.
01:46:43.000Which, I'm not making an argument that he should have, but I'm making an argument that the optics were bad.
01:46:47.000Have you ever known, have you ever done that?
01:46:49.000Or like, just put your full, was it his full weight?
01:46:51.000You never, you never, you never, like, unless you're dumb, you never put your full weight on, there's a tactic that you use, that you use leverage, you never put your full weight on the leg that's on the person.
01:47:00.000Because as soon as he moves, you done, you fall over and, You balance the weight between your body, leverage, and the weight, a little bit of weight on him.
01:47:09.000The thing is, is that you don't have to put much weight on a person because your knee across the clavicle or the upper back of somebody is so much more leveraged than they have face down on the ground.
01:50:26.000It's just not... I went to these web... I could buy a stock bike I guess like pre-build but those are like pre-builds are never as good as someone who knows that they're buying.
01:50:33.000The thing about inline was like I went to a Rollerblade website and I just like clicked some things and pressed enter and then everyone's riding around having fun and they're getting exercise.
01:51:10.000However, the other 99 times it was bouncing around, smashing, and it's a LiPo battery, so it got smashed, and we're like, we better not do that, because it could explode.
01:51:20.000So definitely, long story short, BMX dudes, inline skateboarders, we're gonna have a good time, and people are gonna do some cool stuff, and we'll film all of it.
01:53:47.000It's like the tobacco industry of the 50s.
01:53:48.000They're trying to sell it to kids, get them addicted early, and then they try and sell you pills to lower your blood pressure because the sugar made your blood pressure go up.
01:54:03.000I know grown people that take Adderall, but... Why is it that people get a quart of caffeine-laced soda with their fast food meals?
01:54:13.000All that sugar gives, like, your body goes crazy.
01:54:17.000And what happens is, I could be wrong about this, but my understanding is when you get too much sugar, your body diverts energy to getting that excess sugar out of your system.
01:54:24.000So what you need to do is take a bunch of caffeine so that you got the upper and so the sugar is hurting you and you're drinking the stimulant to be active.
01:54:35.000And then you have headaches when you can't go to... That's why I stay away from caffeine as much as I can because I don't want to get addicted.
01:54:41.000You know, I know people that go to Starbucks every day because coffee right here.
01:55:16.000Code Red says, on the parmesan cheese tip, when you're smoking crack and you run out, start thinking about all the pieces that you dropped.
01:55:23.000Due to this, you start hunting for whatever's in the carpet.
01:55:57.000I mean, it's a problem with everything, just like food stamps and government assistance.
01:56:00.000Like, you know, I think that in some places people need it.
01:56:03.000You know, at one point in my life, I used it for three months and I got off of it to get to do something better.
01:56:07.000But same thing with the opioids, because these nut jobs are out here abusing it and some of these organizations are just throwing them like candy.
01:56:14.000Now people that really need it are not getting access to it because they got to jump through these hoops.
01:56:20.000I really wish that we can get a hold of it.
01:56:21.000They used to give soldiers morphine, like in World War II, particularly in Vietnam, and they'd come back from like a massive wound and they'd come back addicted to morphine, which is an opiate that would lead them to heroin and other opiates.
01:58:08.000You got all kinds of channels everywhere.
01:58:10.000I want to start another channel about diagnosing these law enforcement interactions and just giving it from a police perspective because you don't see that and most police officers that are currently on the job, they can't do that.
01:58:19.000Donut Operator has a channel where he's doing exactly what I'd like to do.
01:59:17.000Yeah, like legit just producing a sitcom because comedy is powerful and we need people who want to make fun of these woke weirdos and cultists and bring back comedy to like a sane normal place.
01:59:28.000It doesn't have to be pushing conservatism or liberalism.
01:59:31.000It just has to be regular people making fun of people who are stupid or crazy, you know.
01:59:34.000Right, because ridiculousness is not political.
02:00:32.000I think that most people that want to criticize police, and it's good criticism, I criticize them all the time, that do a ride-along with a police officer or go and tour the police facility, know what police officers are being trained before there's commentary.
02:00:46.000Because a lot of people say a lot of things about police, not talking about the person who's super chatting, but I've seen it come up where people say a lot of things about the police and they don't know anything that police do.
02:00:54.000They go, why do they should be trained like this?
02:01:56.000I think you should get a death penalty. I think any cop like cops like regular people
02:02:01.000Maybe you can negotiate But if you have a badge in a uniform on and you kill
02:02:05.000somebody cold blood like that you have a heightened responsibility
02:02:08.000You should get the death penalty, you know better, you know, I'm not saying I think the leftists would agree with you
02:02:13.000I'm not saying a controversial shooting.
02:02:15.000I'm not saying a George Floyd situation where it's a controversial death.
02:02:18.000When you shoot a man in his back as he's running away, not a threat to others, you have no articulable reason, and you plant a taser on him, you have murdered him in cold blood with a badge on.
02:03:56.000I'll tell you a quick story that happened to me, and people down days, they'll pee to bed and cry themselves to sleep.
02:04:02.000One of my really good friends, he was a redneck white guy, and I'm an inner-city black guy, and we used to poke fun at each other every day, and we always tried to one-up each other.
02:04:11.000He one-upped me like nobody's business.
02:04:14.000In the briefing, every officer, you know, once a briefing, they'll bring food, so everybody takes a turn.
02:05:33.000We used to put, and I know this is real ghetto, but we used to put Kool-Aid packs in the watermelons and put it in there and mix it in there.
02:07:12.000I'm going to get into this critique from the leftists who were like, it was already bad enough that you made the racist shirt to begin with.
02:07:18.000And I'm like, yo, what's racist about a shirt where it's a cartoon gorilla telling you he's a gorilla?
02:07:22.000Like, I don't understand how there's race in that.
02:07:25.000Because they think black people are gorillas.
02:07:27.000Dude, we're all descended from gorillas.
02:07:51.000Well, anyway, what happens is, like, when we made this, we thought it was a funny thing, like, you know, Magilla the gorilla, cartoon gorillas, it's funny, and it was a joke about, you know, Alex Jones.
02:07:59.000And then these leftists are like, I can't believe Tim Poole made a gorilla shirt.
02:08:45.000They do look kind of... Listen, I don't believe in evolution from humans to... I mean, apes to humans or whatever, but I have to admit, That they do look creepily similar to humans.
02:09:16.000It's funny watching, it's funny watching, like, capuchin monkeys or, like, other small monkeys because they just look like little people, you know?
02:09:21.000Yeah, and I know some people that look like monkeys.
02:09:24.000And they're not just because they're black, but they actually look like, they look gorilla-like.
02:10:15.000No, I think that people normally drink coffee and donuts in the morning and generally police officers would have donuts and coffee back in the day.
02:10:27.000Some of them were open early in the morning or late at night.
02:10:31.000And, you know, I used to drive through Dunkin' Donuts in my patrol car, and it was hilarious because people, I saw them taking pictures of me, and I'm like, I don't care, I'm gonna get this cinnamon roll and get me a coffee before I start saving the world.
02:10:43.000We'll do one more Super Chat here, it's the most important.
02:10:45.000Clarence W. says, if you don't like fried chicken, you're wrong.
02:11:05.000I don't even think that's... I don't know where... Maybe black people started thinking that they do it the best because it's a Southern thing.
02:11:17.000I think that my grandmother cooks it the best now, you know, but I think people in the South think all kind of stuff, you know, gumbo and all this stuff.
02:12:51.000Now we're thinking about food, and it's not vegan.
