increasing desperation and confusion he explained the Miranda rights to her that she struggled to understand her situation fully this card it's your Miranda morning it's your Miranda warning I'm sorry do you understand these rights that I've explained them to you don't understand them so what do you not understand are you going to ask me questions after you read me those rights yes why should I care what to do I don't know what to do okay I'm being doing the best I can I understand that I cannot handle all this pressure I didn't do anything wrong okay so again the reason why we got called is cu of a shoplift and I was reported I did see video footage of you be shoplift you yes how what's on video footage what did I lift what do you mean what you lift what did I lift like what did you grab what did I shop for that's not shoplifting if you if you grab something and then you leave I pay all the time okay as the conversation continued it became clear that the woman felt utterly lost and unsupported she mentioned not even knowing if she had clothes on her a statement reflecting her disoriented mental state do you have those flashlights on you what you guys took everything I paid $10 for that sandwich that I'm not getting now because of you guys you know how much that's cting me out of what I don't have I'm sorry about that that's a b to my he I don't know what I'm supposed to do okay do you have it what am I supposed to do do you have any of the and then when they let me out what am I supposed to do then do you have any flash these people that are going to laugh at me you getting arrested do you have any flashlights on you I don't know do you I don't know what I have on me I don't even know if I have clothes or not I feel so stupid you do have clothes on man obviously my flesh is my clothes I'm asking your question well I'm answering your question can I can I check your pockets to make sure there's no flashlight so we can Ru that out so yeah you just take everything out of value because you already have okay so right right now you're being detained okay for the crime of shopping obviously can I get out no why you're not free to leave I'm not free to leave I'm not trying to leave what am I going to do leave in handcuffs and then run around like somebody's going to set me free like I'm not just going to get thrown out and made fun of some more because I'm in handcuffs I can't get out of yeah okay the officer trying to proceed with the investigation asked if he could check her Pockets to ensure there were no other stolen items so can I check your pockets to make sure there's no flashlight in there no no is that going to stop you no well whenever we do when you do get arrested for shoplifting I will I'm not shoplifting that's what I was saying they were matches mates are supposed to be free okay well I don't know about the Rope maybe the Rope I'm sorry but still like what is that so big and where does it have me taking them two packages it's just like a regular long flashlight and then the ones that has like the L Bar mm you guys want to pursue for the shoplifting yeah why why can't you just ticket me and make me pay you like I would pay you I just don't have that much to pay you all at once like please let me pay you okay well unfortunately that ship has sailed I thought I was on a payment plan no why can't I just pay you there there's no payment plan when it comes to Walmart or at least any business I had a $25 dividend from them okay do you have anything on you that cut stab or poke me I have a pipe I think but I'm not sure my little page bag okay what do you have right here I don't know you don't know I don't remember I have just drop everything to me and I don't know what I have on me until I get to a spot where I can take it all out and go through it a golf ball I juggle I tell myself to juggle during the co that's pretty cool it's not is it difficult to learn yes yeah you see that's a useful skill I don't think so it is keeps me from wanting to hurt myself or other people but I don't get a very often to do it because nobody gives a about that stuff there's a lot of people not at night I don't give a that stuff I want to be warm and I want to be loved and I want to be home I haven't been any of those things for year can you before that I kept going through it and people just kept laughing at me the same set of girls just laughing at me that I couldn't use my make money I a to do what they did I will not do what they did but I don't think they're wrong or they're bad or they're stupid I just think they're mean and they're ug M can you please come out and I can be mean ugly but I don't watch you do what people say I just get over it I don't think people have the right to do this to me personally what but you're doing checking to make sure you don't have any merchandise on you oh look what what did I get that wasn't absolutely necessary for my life okay and I understand my safety like I at least care about my life and my safety I don't go around risking everybody else's I understand nobody protects me for that nobody supports me for that sit down nobody even lets me
