believe in Jesus but you talking about repentance so I guess you do believe in Jesus God is putting people sir literally in my path like that he just put that officer right there for me to have this this acquaintance with you right because God wants me to change sir you know he wants me to change he you can pass on the opportunity I don't want to be that do I don't want to be that CRA you keep passing on the opportunity I'm trying sir what you trying to tell him Bally like [ __ ] you no no never that you get passing you get passing on opport see right here and telling you you may have this arrogance to you that we don't give a [ __ ] or whatever about a criminal okay but I don't I can respect that the reason why I'm doing what I'm doing could I care yes sir thank you sir but I want I want to do the right thing you going in there and you see that I'm not I'm not lying sir the man tackled me before I got to the door that's fine he tackled me he tackled me before I got to the door I'm trying to tell him hey hey there's nothing I'm not doing that I'm just trying to get the attention of of my friend outside okay he's don't stop refusing stop refusing he didn't let me I'm going to look at a video okay I was going to walk out the door so when you tackle him what did happen is he I didn't no no no right in here you tackle him right in there yeah well I didn't tackle him I pulled him to the ground pull him down in the ground door yeah right in here right happened in there yeah happened right in there but pass the tell me what's the problem with that what's the problem with what he hav't ex the door but he passed all points itself oh they have to exit the door well I mean the da took char charge I mean if they don't C he didn't realize that he had to exit the door we got a problem he pass off points he have not exited the door that's fine you pass the register yeah you want to call the da back I I I told her that he only passed the register okay he concealed him by stuffing his I understand but know usually you know the key he had to pass the door now now his defense is that he want to stand right there talk to his girl about the item yes he can steal it but you have to exit the door well I mean if they drop the case they drop the case but here's here's what I've seen a lot in the past with Walmart a lot we deal with that every day right that's true they pass the register uhhuh they pass the first door uhhuh they they they're still committing theft doesn't matter if they the rest but no no they we've we've caught them before before the door so that's depend what if you're trying to conceal the items you you you know what your training experience that someone trying to conceal the item stuff his pants I mean the thing was in his crutch I agree so I agree what he trying to do is all that but I'm Proby being a the devil advocate here okay and hist fans like say you know he can say hey I just want to go stand over there and I want to talk to my girl wave her over here this case not going to stay but you may think that but here's the deal too he's got seven he knows that stuff in his pants that's true I agree so I agree I don't think he's got a chance talk um especially because he's on talk to them uh I get the video and T the video okay but you see what I'm saying yeah if they can't get the video I I can always come back and get it yeah yeah you see what I'm saying as as far as the the laws I've always read and they haven't changed it's past all points of sale not past the door that's true you know and we can pull we can pull up the oh I agree it say it did say know pass on our s but most of the time they like to pass the door I say mean a stronger case stronger but this right here they can argue other way you see what I mean yeah well I mean it's a felony so I mean even if he pleads out I'm just saying we live longer we live longer you know mean it's not that far you want a stronger case it's a weak case right now he he got defends on that one yeah if we got a good lawyer yeah but no by doing that now you really know I mean the guy he looks almost almost homeless you know yeah he probably plead out I say you know he going a video available if I come back another day whatever going to try but he uh probably come back another day yeah come back another day give give him a case number all right uh since we establish that y'all need anything else for me n just uh do a supplement why did what you did and uh is he taking off no no he's still and uh I'm going to go explain to him we're going to get the video and uh if his uh lawyer want to do that they can argue whatever they want to argue in court that's that I'll be there cool yep Take Care thank you thank you thank you thank you okay I spoke to them the officer did agree he Ted you right there at the door okay but the law did not say that you have to exit the door the law say know you pass all point of sale all point of sale is back in the cash register okay but they said they have video camera of it I'm going to get the video camera it I'm going to tack it in the property room and then once you get your lawyer your lawyer can look at the video and you're going to fight your K however you want to fight okay but right now you are going to go in okay so that right there that's fair to me do you you agree I thought you said you going to help me out though sir if I didn't but you the law I I didn't I didn't I please help me sir please help me man please help me are I helping you already please help me man what you want to do you want
