Welcome to Crime Time Central legal talk hosted by attorney David Ridings. This is where we sort out the good guys from the bad guys and try to help you make sense of the law. We'll give you the latest on the big cases and highlight the weird ones as well. We'll hear from the defenders, the enforcers, and maybe even a few law breakers. Regardless, you'll come away knowing more than when you started. This is Crime Time Central legal talk. Hi everybody, I'm David Ridings and you are live with us Crime Time Central here live on Stand Against Dark Blue Facebook and YouTube. If you're watching on one, please go to the other when you're finished watching the video and like and subscribe on that platform. We're trying to build an audience here. We just recently started this channel um not long ago with a big fat zero subscribers and we're already growing and off to a good start. Uh we have a lot of people sending us videos and and comments both during and after the show. Um we do commentary on these body cams. Sometimes we call them bully cams. This is bully cam Saturday. And uh it's fresh out of Pennsylvania. Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. Vandergrift is a small town I guess in Pennsylvania. It looks very small. And um the IQ of this officer is likewise very small. Um I don't mean that Well, yes, I do. I was going to say I don't mean that disrespectfully. Yeah, I don't respect this guy. He's an idiot. If they don't fire him, I don't well, it's pretty much nothing I can do about it. But I am going to write a letter to the to the city council down there and tell them what I think. I mean, I'm you know, who am I? I'm a former police officer. I'm an attorney, a defense attorney. I've been on every side of this criminal justice system for the past 30-something years. And I know a bully cop when I see one. Trust me. For those of you wondering about the old shiner here, we talked about that in one of our previous videos. And so if you want to know how I got it, feel free to go watch one of the previous videos. Thursday night's video probably says it best cuz at the end I tell how it happened. And I think we talked about it a little bit a little bit on Friday night as well, but I'm sorry. I know it's just you know, it's just in your face. And I it it's not attractive. It's a big fat black eye. Actually, let me show you. It goes way goes way down here on the cheek. I got really clobbered. Um at least the cut's closed now. I had a bandage right there for the last couple of days, but the cut has closed and I think I'm going to be all right. I'm not dizzy anymore. That's good. That lasted about 48 hours. Hey Wendy, thanks for joining us. Yeah, I know. Oh lord. Yeah. Well, I might do some makeup on it tomorrow. I don't know. We'll we'll see how people feel about it cuz it is pretty grotesque looking. I go into the store or I mean, wherever I go. Went to a restaurant tonight and everywhere I go people will just double take it and go, "What the crap?" I know it's ugly. Well, listen, um bully cam Saturday is here and we do not disappoint. We have a Well, let me just tease just a touch of it. Oh, yeah. Cuz I just don't like black people. Definitely. Yeah, I don't like black people. OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH. Cuz I don't like black people. Now, he was being sarcastic there for those of you, you know, that will I mean cuz precision matters, okay? It's important when when you use words that you do so with precision. Um They can probably think you got I could I could really come up with a good story on that. They probably think you got beat by police. I could probably Um is on my shoulder. I keep seeing it. Of course I I see something out of my peripheral all the time. It's swollen. It's swollen tissue. Um I always think there's something right over here and it's just like Yeah, I could probably come up with a really good story about getting beat by the police, but you know, that would be that would be lying and I shan't do that. Let's watch this video. Um You know, cops never cease to amaze me. In 2021, this is April 2021, people. And you still have police officers in this country that will do stupid stuff like this. And listen to the the gall of this officer. So, a little background, the the gentleman you see Now, not the gentleman you see here. Let me see. This guy here. This guy. Goes into um um diner. Sorry. He's at in a booth in the diner. Somebody apparently called the police about somebody smoking weed outside. And you know, maybe he was. I don't know. I don't I don't think he was ever accused of smoking weed, but allegedly somebody called. And this guy happens to be the only black person in the diner. And he has dreads and just looks like a a I guess to this cop he looks like a reggae guy that would be smoking weed. I don't know. This guy says that he was racially profiled. I don't have any evidence of that except for his race and his appearance and the fact that he was the only black person in the diner. Although, I don't have any evidence supporting uh the opposite of that either. So, this officer uh is clearly being sarcastic in the beginning of this video when he says I don't like black people. Um but he's a jackleg and that's just a nice way of of of saying the other word. So, let's watch this video and then we'll see what you think. I'll um stop it here and there and kind of give you um some background and updates as we go along. Oh, yeah. Cuz I just don't like black people. You definitely Yeah, I don't like black people. I am superior. No, you're you're I am the superior officer. My badge number's four. You understand that? Yes. My badge number's four. Now, he sounds drunk to me. I'm not going to lie. I've I've seen a lot of drunk people in my day and they teach you in the academy how to recognize drunk people. And one of the telltale signs of a drunk person is they kind of slur their words a little bit. And they're really loud and boisterous. And um you know, this guy is both of those. So, he says that this guy asked for his superior officer and he goes, "I am superior. I am What he means is I'm superior to you." Uh he I don't know that he's a He's doesn't appear to be a supervisor. He didn't have stripes on his sleeve. Um but he says, "I am superior. My badge number's four." Now, if I was this guy, I would say, "Well, can you call number three? Or two? Or one? Cuz I want to talk to one, two, or three." Um cuz clearly you're not the You're not the one that I want to talk to. It's like that, I Wendy says, "I think there's a bad apple, so to speak, in Fridley, Minnesota. Uh I recently moved out of the city. I was harassed by him. My son was an explorer and this particular officer did not like my son. Basically came after me. I would be surprised to see him. I wouldn't I won't be surprised to see him in the news. If you have any video on that or uh a location where we can do a FOIA request, we will do that. And we will get that video and we will do a story on it. Thanks, Wendy, for watching. Back to the show, bully cam Saturday. Out here. Yes, sir. Everybody knows me knows that I don't care whether you're white, brown, or tan. If you have to say it, especially if you have to say it that loud, I'm thinking it's probably not true. That's just me. Sir, why are you looking like that, bro? Cuz I'm tired of your attitude. you. Why are you over here, sir? Well, cuz I got called here for you. For what? What did I do? have any ID on you? No, I don't I don't give you my ID here. Well, I'm following you. Why are you over here, sir? Well, cuz I got called here for you. For what? Well, well, cuz cuz I got called here for you. I swear it sounds like he's drunk. Who agrees with me? What did I do? have any ID on you? No, I don't have to give you ID, sir. No, you do have to. For what, sir? What did I do, sir? You do. What did I do, sir? Guys, send me another unit. Please bring your superior here, sir. I am superior. No, you're you're I am superior officer. My badge number is four. Do you understand that? Yes, sir. Okay, so you have ID. I don't have to give you ID, sir. No, you do have to. You do have to show your ID. Why are you here? No, I don't. Yes, I do. I have to call you. I commit? Get What crime did I commit? Get up What crime did I I'm the S I'm the S I'm the Get up and go outside. you what crime did I commit? Don't do it. Go outside. Sir, I'm asking you what I got called here for you and I'm asking your identification. Sir, what did you do? What is the crime? Get up and go outside. Sir, that's not fair. That's not right. is fair. That's not right, sir. It's very fair. That's not right. That's obviously a recording. It's very fair and it's very right. Honest officer, just give me a coffee coffee and we'll be fine. Um little background, this officer comes in first and there is this guy and uh AJ, JJ agrees with me. Which is awesome. I don't require that people agree with me, but I sure like it when they do. He does sound drunk. Um So, this officer comes in originally, this guy and his girl are sitting in the booth with a service dog. And the cop comes over there and wants to see their papers for the service dog. Now, you're not required to carry papers around with you to have a service dog, but to prevent the dog from being taken and animal control or something that this crazy cop might have shot him, I don't know. The girl takes the dog home cuz she doesn't want to, you know, instigate things or or escalate things any further. Uh and then this guy after that, I think, gets a call about somebody at allegedly smoking weed. He says he got a call about you, with meaning the guy. I don't think the person on the 911 identified anybody. In fact, the call just said somebody uh is smoking weed outside of this diner and it didn't indicate who. But he just made some assumptions there that he probably shouldn't have made and probably were based upon race. Let's just not Let's not sugarcoat it for this guy. If If this cop is uh a bully like this, it wouldn't surprise me if he's a racist. Where you going? Racial profiling, man. Oh, yeah, it's racial profiling. Straight in. 5104 kind of ghetto. Police. 5104 Oh, and 22431272. 22 Or I'm sorry, 32431 He's so drunk. 272. Run that, please. Because this guy's uh saying that I'm racial profiling him. Definitely. Oh, yeah. I don't believe I would have said that on the radio. Cuz I just don't like black people. Definitely. Yeah, I don't like black people. It's like that out here, man. OH, YEAH, IT'S LIKE THAT out here. It's sad. Everybody knows me knows that I don't care whether you're white, brown, or tan. Wrong, sir. Why are you looking like that, bro? Cuz I'm tired of your attitude. have an attitude. You do have an attitude. When I got outside, uh he sat me down, basically wanted to run a criminal background, wanted to see if I had warrants. Yes, sir. You just tone your language down. Okay. That's real. That's real. I appreciate. Yes, sir. But why why am I being outside? Why am I being outside? Is there anything on him? Anything on who? On him. Did you hear what they just said? Yeah, I heard. They just said Yeah, I heard. Because I couldn't hear. What are you talking He's over here talking about my tattoos and everything else to get out here, bro. I don't understand. I already know who called. Yeah, I already know who called. He was right off the get-go. What are you talking about? It's all recorded, sir. Everything from from when you walked in, it's all recorded. So, I hope you tell your stories Okay. 5104 You will. County That's right. Attorney wants Negative. Oh, dang. Okay, send everything down, please. And also a criminal history. This is not the first time Officer Moore's conduct has been brought before council. Check this out. This is my favorite part. In 2018, he was suspended for 2 days without pay, but officials never said why. In 2017, Moore was placed on paid leave after pleading guilty to harassment. That incident involving a 14-year-old boy. What in the world is this guy still on the force for? He got disciplined in 2017, but they won't say why. I'm going to do a FOIA request. I want to know why. I want to know why he was disciplined in 2017 and not removed from the force. And in 2018, he was charged with a freaking crime. He was charged with harassment, and he's still a police officer. This is exactly why we exist here, folks. Stand Against Dark Blue exists to expose the darkness in police departments, meaning Dark Blue is basically uh those it is referred to as those cops that don't need to be cops. We refer to Dark Blue as the bullies in the in the police department. And when we find one, we expose him or her. And when we expose him or her, then we do everything in our power to eradicate him or her from the police department. We need to exercise this guy out of the department and take his licensing away from him so he can't pop up in another city somewhere and be a police officer. Period. No room for improvement there. This guy needs to go. Who's with me? A FOIA request is a Freedom of Information Act. It's actually uh FOIA, Freedom of Information Act. And everybody's entitled to do that. If you don't know what FOIA is, um Wendy, great question. Great question. Um and and I say that like people ought to know. People don't know that and it's not something that people uh normally would know, but if you don't, then that's what we do here. We teach people. This is what you need to know about um information with the government. It's it's free to access by the public and it's not just news media. You as a citizen can do a FOIA request and get any information you want to from the police department. And so um more and more people are using this in this day and age to get information about uh police officers and investigations and body cams and things like that. and then you have this North Carolina thing which I'm still I'm telling you that's going to be bad when it comes out folks. North Carolina has not yet released that body cam or at least last I checked they hadn't released the body cam. Um and now they have a judge saying that it will not be released um pending the investigation which could go on for years for all we know. I'm learning a lot while watching you sir and I appreciate you very much. Thank you so much Winnie. That's a very kind thing for you to say. You actually did email me or message me something. Uh and I appreciate that very much. We we do our best here. Um it's a new channel so we're we're trying to get uh some awareness out there for people. Uh the main thing that we want to teach people on this channel is that you have rights under the Constitution as a citizen in this country. And most people that I represent I'm a defense attorney. And so most people that I represent um probably know their rights and knew their rights before they came to me. But they just know them on the surface. They know how to say them. You know, I have the right to remain silent. Anything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law. I have the right to speak to an attorney and have one during questioning blah blah blah. If you watched any television you can say that. But most people don't know what that means or how to invoke it the proper way. Now, you we watch a lot of these audit things first amendment audits and second amendment audits. I don't agree with a lot of it. I'm not going to lie especially the second minute amendment audits. Um you got this knucklehead walking around in a park with a with what looks like an an AR pistol. Um it's got a a certain kind of brace on it that you can stick your arm in. It wraps around your arm, and it makes it a pistol. And it's got a a shorter than a 16-in barrel. So, normally that would be an SBR or a short-barreled rifle, which is illegal to possess without the proper tax stamp. If it had a a buttstock on it, but since you've got a a stock on it that actually acts as a brace for your arm, it makes it a pistol according to the ATF. And so, some people will strap that on, and they'll walk around in the park to educate the police and the public on what a pistol really is. Well, you're just bringing undue attention to the fact that those braces exist, and you're making yourself look like an idiot. So, I don't agree with the Second Amendment audits. I think you guys ought to knock that crap off. And what happens is somebody will call and say, "Hey, there's a guy running around in the park out here with a rifle." And, you know, 10 cops will come to the scene, blue lights and siren, and they'll jump out of their car with their ARs, and they'll run up there thinking they've got an active shooter situation, which is a a reasonable thought if you get a call like that of somebody walking around in a in a park where there's kids. Uh even even not in a park, walking anywhere with a a pistol like that strapped to your chest just because you can is ignorant. And it's not helping anybody. And they say they do it so they can educate the police about the Second Amendment rights and their rights to carry a a pistol, and, you know, it's really truly a pistol. Well, it doesn't look like a pistol. And I get that you have the right to carry it, and if you need to carry it it exposed, then you can. And if you deal with police contact, then you can deal with police contact. But, don't go out there and just instigate police contact because you can. It's It's just ridiculous that you that you do that and you're not helping. JJ says new information to me, too. Thanks so much, guys. I appreciate that. Um so I have a a problem with these Second Amendment audits and you know, some of the First Amendment Amendment audits are just to antagonize the cops. Cops deal with a whole lot. Now, you know me. When the police make a mistake around here, we'll shine a light on it. We'll shine a big old light on it. And when they do something good, we'll shine a light on that, too. We've done videos both ways. Um critiquing the cops and honoring the cops for doing good. So, uh if we have a a a criticism or a critique that we're going to do, uh we do it respectfully. But, we stand up for our rights. Like this situation in Vandagriff, everybody that's watching this channel needs to write that police chief a letter saying, "This officer and what's his name?" I think it's William Moore, but I don't want to say that unless I know for sure. Well, I I just did say it, but I don't want to I don't want you writing letters about it unless I know for sure. Here we go. Well, it's William Moore. I know it is. I'm going to write them a letter, basically, um saying that I've seen this video and as a citizen of the United States uh that stands with good cops against bad cops, um I would like for this gentleman to be fired. And he deserves to be fired. And um Let's see here. Yeah, William Moore, sorry. William Moore, m o o r e. And he's with Vandergrift, uh v a n d e r g r i f t police. And I I believe he's just been suspended, not suspended, but on administrative leave pending this investigation. But with all of these other um complaints against him and harassment arrest and an unknown disciplinary action, uh he needs he needs to hit the road. And unless we pressure the police department and the city council there to do so, they're going to sweep this under the rug like they do all the other ones. And then a month, 6 months, maybe 2 years down the road, maybe 5 years down the road, this guy ends up killing somebody or he does something really um more egregious than what we're seeing right here and put somebody somebody's life in in jeopardy. Clearly, he's got a problem and it's a it's a power problem and an anger problem. And he doesn't deserve to be a police officer. You know, the police um have a have a difficult job. I don't believe in defunding the police and people that watch me know that about this channel. I think that they deserve more funding for better cops. I want better cops. I want um more educated police officers. I want more programs in place that will help them police themselves. I want programs in place that will help them denounce this blue code of silence, which is a very real code. It does exist and it does protect officers who who are in who get in trouble. Definitely a power problem, Star says. Thank you very much for watching. But how do you make better cops? Wow, what a great question. Um Well, it's not about defunding them. Let me start by saying that. If you defund the police, let's play that through for a second. Let's defund the police. Let's take Let's not Let's not defund them completely. But let's take a billion dollars away from their budget, like happened in New York. What do you think's going to happen next year? Of course, we've got 5,000 police officers in New York alone. And that's a low estimate. That are leaving the force, taking early retirement or retiring on time, uh or basically just leaving. That's 5,000 positions that are going to need to be filled. And you're And we're taking a billion dollars away from their budget. Now, it's no secret what I think about the administration in New York. They're stupid. They fund in incredibly ignorant social programs while taking away from the protection of of citizens by taking a billion dollars away from from police um law enforcement. And when you do that, you got nobody that's got any sense that wants to be a cop. Who would want to be Let's By show of hands, uh who would want to be a cop today um in America? If you If you would like to be a cop today, um raise your hand. Yeah, me, too. I wouldn't go back for nothing. And you know, I did 10 years, and that was long enough for me to for me to see a lot of things um about the the department that need fixing. And I just wish that I had had known then what I know today. And I could have I could have made some changes and and made some uh differences while I was a an officer, but I didn't know what I know today. But having the knowledge that I have today, I can tell you they need more money in recruiting and hiring and training. If we take money away from them and we lower their pay or we or we cut their overtime hours or whatever it is you want to do to to cut their budget, you're going to lose officers who really love being a police officer and really love it for the right reasons because there's no money in it, there's no future in it, and you get arrested when you do your job. And so you who do you think you're going to get applying for these jobs? You're going to get the dredge of society coming out and applying for policing jobs. People that have that can't get a job anywhere else that have more problems than we have on the department now, and you're just going to get more problems. And more very serious problems. I never assumed taking away from their ability to operate better would be would make better cops. I'm asking how do you mold and Oh, good question. How do you mold and keep cops from going bad? How do you stop anyone from being corrupted? That's a That's a great question, and it's not one that's easily answered. It I mean, the bottom answer if if you may or may not agree with me, I I think it's Jesus. I think we need to pray for our police. And I think without a real serious encounter with the Lord, um you know, no man is good by nature. We're all bad by nature. So, it's not an easy question to ask how do you mold somebody into into being a good cop? How do you teach somebody how to treat other people like human beings? And there's no easy answer to that. But, you have to you have to start somewhere. And we didn't get this way overnight. So, it's not going to be fixed overnight. It's going to take years and decades, really, to fix the problem that we have in in policing. And it's a it's a character issue when you get down to the root of it. Oh, no. May my son was going to be a police officer, but he has changed his mind. Good, you should If he changes his mind back, you should change it back. I had five boys, and at one point, when I was a police officer, of course, they all wanted to be cops. And now I've Thank God they've all changed their mind. I didn't talk them out of it. Um but I'm really glad that they all changed their mind. I've got several that went into the military and um and now I've got a good a good mix of you know, hard-working young men, uh none of which are in the police department. Um He wanted to be a cop since he was five. That's most That's typical for most young men that really want to be cops, they want to be cops their whole life. I was like that. I wanted to be a cop my whole life. Um and being an explorer is a great way to to learn and get some experience. And those of you that don't know what that explorer program is, it's just an internship of sorts. I guess he knows something that I don't know, cuz he changed his mind, and I really don't know why. So, at the end of the day, um we we have to change the way police officers are trained in this country. And we need longer training. And some of them get a lot of training as it is, but it's but it's not enough. And I know the cops that are out there that are going to be saying, "My god, I go to in-service training every year and I did six months academy." And you know, yeah, six months is a long time, but it's truly not long enough to teach you everything that you need to know to be a police officer. And it's not a question that I'm going to be able to answer in a what, 30-minute live video right now. But they're great questions, Star and Wendy. I appreciate that very much. We just have to um we have to convince other people to join with us in an effort to keep the the crazies from defunding the police. And if you've got if you if you live in a city where there's a a big movement to defund the police, speak out against it. And write your you know, call your congressman and your councilperson and get involved on a local level. And just be available to make change. So, what would you change in training regimen that you feel would make the biggest difference? Well, one thing that I would change is uh clearly, we need more training in de-escalation of force. And and and how we and and just the whole use of force continuum needs to be um needs to be changed. But there's also this blue code of silence that's allowed people like this guy to exist for generations. And the blue code of silence is you don't tell against a fellow police officer and you protect your own. And I understand the the principle and the theory behind that, but it's a flawed it's a flawed theory. Anything that you have to keep secret is dangerous. And so we have to teach these young men and women how to denounce that blue code of silence and police themselves. The best way to find a bad cop is for a good cop to point at him. Because the good cops typically know who the bad cops are. And the good cops can effectuate change from within by um leading by example. And I mean I'm saying lots of things that are that are just common sense and and true on their face, but it it needs to be it needs to be taught. For example, let's just think back a year ago. We had the the incident in Minnesota with George Floyd. And we had at least four police officers on the scene, at least two of which were very new rookies who'd just been on the street not long. But none of those cops felt they had the authority to tap Chauvin on the shoulder and say, "No, we're rolling him over." One of them mentioned it twice. Mentioned rolling him over on his side, worried about what he said was excited delirium. I still think to this day he meant positional asphyxia. I don't I don't think I think he said the wrong word. So he had the authority to do it, but he didn't have the knowledge in how to do it, because he hadn't been taught that. Had he been through a class in the academy to teach about policing the police and exposing bad cops within your department, he would have known how to how to have handled that situation and I don't think George Floyd would have died. But I'm also one that believes if George Floyd were white, he'd still be dead cuz I don't think that it was a racial thing. I think it was a power thing. I think that there are some cops that just abuse the power and authority that they have and uh and that makes it really hard to spot them because sometimes it can happen in a blink. And sometimes you can have a good cop with good intentions and you leave him in the same crappy dredge of society area for a decade on midnights and you wonder why he becomes so cynical because all he sees in day in and day out is the worst of society. And there are places like that. But you got to rotate these cops out. So it's not it's not one answer that that will fix the problem. It's multiple answers and we need good leaders that can put these multiple things in place from an from an early point in training all the way through to the top to the chief of police. Anyway, so I've gone a little over what I anticipated doing tonight. The blue code of silence uh is becoming more apparent. Uh example, yes, even in the daylight open public scene and Derek Chauvin's fellow officers just stood by. That's one of my biggest um points on on on the blue code of silence because clearly Chauvin should have gotten off of him. Clearly Chauvin was doing wrong. Everybody in America was screaming at their television screen when they're watching that video. For him to get off of him. Do something. Somebody do something. Somebody rush him. Somebody do something. Everybody that that has any compassion at all that watched that video was was likely doing what I was doing and screaming at the screen. Those cops were sitting by letting it happen. And they all knew that it was wrong. But they thought we have the power and we can't relinquish that power. And when you have that much power, your ego really swells up very big. And so um it's it's difficult it's a difficult problem to fix because most cops have a bigger ego than they do compassion. Man, this is a slippery slope. Just think the bad cops get together and and set a good cop that rolled on over on a buddy. That's right. And I I agree with that. That can happen. Then it's just word against word. Do you think chest cams make honest cops? I think chest cams are the best thing to happen to policing in a long time. And they do keep some cops honest. And in the in the worst of of situations, they have control of turning them on and off, but they have policies that prevent against that. It is, however, um difficult for for a cop to get away with something now in this day and age because not only do they have these body cams, but everybody in society is walking around with an HD camera in their pocket. And so, even if the body cam is turned off, they don't know who else might be filming. So, there's we're we're going to see more and more of these videos in the future that are um they're going to get worse. And I I I think one of the reasons they're going to get worse is that we we've got we've now trained a large part of our society to hate the cops. And we've made it almost glamorous to resist arrest and and to make these videos where you challenge the police. And sometimes they think that they're challenging the police and they have a right to challenge the police. And you know, to a certain extent you do have a right to challenge the police as far as your your rights are concerned. But, when it comes down to a police officer placing you under arrest or detaining you, you don't have the right to resist that arrest even if it's an unlawful arrest. And most people in society don't know that. And you're getting a lot of young people that are resisting arrest and um and and getting killed in the in the process. So, oops. I hit the wrong button. Um So, there needs to be reform now and yes, it it's to do their job, but sadly there are always bad apples in every bunch. That's absolutely true, Jennifer. Thanks for watching. Star says, "This is a good show. I think you have a a new viewer here." Well, thank you, Star. I appreciate that. Um and you know, go watch Thursday's episode and I'll tell you how I got that black eye. I know it's ugly and you know, it'll go away in a few days, but some people messaged me earlier and said, "You ought to put makeup on that." I'm like, no, I'm not going to do that. It is what it is and and Wendy said I could make up a good story about being beat by the police, so I may end up doing that. Well, listen guys, I really appreciate y'all watching. I'm about to lose my voice cuz I've been talking all stinking day long. So, um today we're going to cut this video just a little short. But at the end of the day, here's what it's about. It's about standing up for your rights, knowing what your rights are, and invoking them early and in a in a courteous way. And as citizens, we can stand together and help the good cops root out the bad cops. One good way to do that is to go to our website standagainstdarkblue.com and sign our citizen pledge and join the movement and citizens that are standing with good cops against bad cops. If you are a cop or a former cop uh or a retired cop, cuz you can be former or retired and sometimes former's not good. But if you're a a a police officer, active or retired, go sign our police officer pledge. You'll find it on our homepage, right there on standagainstdarkblue.com. And you'll be part of a movement that eventually we're going to make some noise and we're we're going to make some changes on the local level all the way up to the national level. And we're going to infiltrate the uh city councils and the legislatures on the state level and the national level. And we're going to effectuate some change in policing. We're going to get some new training for police officers on de-escalation of force and policing the police and denouncing the blue code of silence. And we're also going to do um We're working on a grant right now to do some training in high schools because we need to teach our young people how to interact with the police. And a lot of you are going, "What? Why do you got to teach somebody how to interact with the police?" Yes. Most people don't know how to interact with the police. So, it's important to teach young people how it feels when you get pulled over by a police officer and why it feels like your, you know, your stomach is going to flip and and what you should do and what you should not do and how you should act and what you should do with your hands and what you should do with your language and when a when a cop ask you for things that you're not required to give know your rights and know how to respond to that in a in a nice, mannerly way. And if we can teach this on both sides eventually we're going to at least curb the problem. I'm not Pollyanna in the sky thinking we can fix everything. And certainly not overnight. But I'm I'm through being the silent majority. And I'm through with the you know, talking about the past. And I can't breathe and you know what? I still have breath. And I'm not going to waste it and I'm going to stand up and speak for the speechless and I'm going to stand for the oppressed and I'm going to help them get in Because if I'm not doing that, then what am I even here for? It's an It's It's time. Everybody, it's time to get busy and it and at least try to make some change. And if you're in on that, go to our website and join us. I hope the other guy got back in. Yeah, I dropped my my front guard and uh Yeah. But you got to see the other guy. Thanks everybody for watching. Um I know I've rambled here at the end, but it's it's just a passion of mine to do something. And we can't do anything sitting on our duff.
