2021-4-20 COurt case on Chauvin

[0:00 - 2:48] (crickets chirping)
[2:48 - 2:51] Now, was the force excessive?
[2:51 - 2:52] I think so.
[2:52 - 2:56] I truly believe that the force was accepted.
[2:56 - 2:58] You know, it was a little bit excessive.
[2:58 - 3:01] He didn't have to be on the back of Wood's neck.
[3:01 - 3:04] He could just put the handcuffs on him,
[3:04 - 3:06] had him arrested and then sat him up,
[3:06 - 3:09] like any other officer would do.
[3:09 - 3:12] (crickets chirping)
[3:12 - 3:15] I do have family that, you know,
[3:15 - 3:19] are pretty much in all fields of, you know,
[3:19 - 3:22] law enforcement and military.
[3:22 - 3:26] So I come from a very, very strict background.
[3:26 - 3:31] My Uncle Mike was actually a retired police officer
[3:31 - 3:33] for the state of Oregon.
[3:33 - 3:36] (crickets chirping)
[3:36 - 3:39] And because of this deal, I guess she is a paralegal.
[3:39 - 3:43] So she does have some, you know, legal knowledge,
[3:43 - 3:44] as well as myself.
[3:44 - 3:47] And then obviously you guys know about my military background
[3:47 - 3:50] with my dad being military.
[3:50 - 3:53] And this is just me coming from that background.
[3:53 - 4:00] Sometimes, you know, when it comes to, you know,
[4:00 - 4:06] some criminals or some people that are suspect to a crime,
[4:06 - 4:11] sometimes excessive force is needed when they have a weapon.
[4:11 - 4:14] But when they don't have a weapon,
[4:14 - 4:21] clearly Floyd was on the ground,
[4:21 - 4:26] and I feel like the officer didn't need to use that excessive force.
[4:26 - 4:34] (crickets chirping)
[4:34 - 4:40] But at the same time, I can kind of...
[4:40 - 4:42] I stand on both sides, honestly.
[4:42 - 4:45] I really do.
[4:45 - 4:47] Like, I'm literally on both sides with it.
[4:47 - 4:51] Because, like, one, I can see why George ran.
[4:51 - 4:53] I really can.
[4:53 - 4:57] Like, I can see why George ran from the police,
[4:57 - 4:59] because maybe he was doing something
[4:59 - 5:02] or he's had a run-in with law enforcement
[5:02 - 5:05] that wasn't very good, and he felt scared.
[5:05 - 5:08] So he ran.
[5:08 - 5:10] I can understand that.
[5:10 - 5:15] But at the same time, if you run from the police,
[5:15 - 5:21] you're just going to make the situation worse for yourself.
[5:21 - 5:26] Like, it really is a gray area.
[5:26 - 5:28] Like, it really is.
[5:28 - 5:33] Like, I'm not saying the officer was wrong in arresting George Floyd.
[5:33 - 5:37] I'm not saying that he wasn't wrong in it,
[5:37 - 5:41] because maybe George did do something.
[5:41 - 5:51] You know, maybe George did do something that warranted him being detained.
[5:51 - 5:59] But I feel like the officer didn't have to use that excessive force,
[5:59 - 6:03] ultimately killing George by having his knee.
[6:03 - 6:06] And something that a lot of people don't realize
[6:06 - 6:12] is that when you have your knee on the back of somebody's neck
[6:12 - 6:15] and they can't breathe and they're on the ground...
[6:15 - 6:18] Like, let's say I'm on the ground.
[6:18 - 6:21] And I'm in that same situation,
[6:21 - 6:26] and it's just pure knowing the body and how it works kind of thing.
[6:26 - 6:31] Like, this is just me knowing the physiology and the anatomy of the human body.
[6:31 - 6:33] When you're on the back of someone's neck
[6:33 - 6:36] like the way that officer was with George Floyd,
[6:36 - 6:38] your airways are going to get cut off,
[6:38 - 6:41] because when you're spread out like this,
[6:41 - 6:44] and you've got your neck up like this on the ground,
[6:44 - 6:46] you're being pushed into the ground.
[6:46 - 6:48] You're being pushed into the ground,
[6:48 - 6:51] and your airwaves are getting cut off.
[6:51 - 6:56] So you're not getting the air that you need to be getting into your body.
[6:56 - 6:59] And with that officer on the back of his neck,
[6:59 - 7:06] crushing him, his spine was literally getting compressed forward into his neck,
[7:06 - 7:12] cutting off his airway, which I feel was a bit excessive.
[7:12 - 7:15] He didn't need to use that much force.
[7:15 - 7:18] He could have just simply, you know,
[7:18 - 7:22] taken, gotten on his back like any other officer,
[7:22 - 7:26] because if you watch any other officer or know anybody that is a police officer,
[7:26 - 7:29] they don't go for the neck.
[7:29 - 7:31] They usually go for like the back.
[7:31 - 7:36] Like, they'll get on like, say like the center of your back or whatever,
[7:36 - 7:42] and they will hold you there until they get the handcuffs on,
[7:42 - 7:44] and then sit you up.
[7:44 - 7:48] At least that's what they did with me,
[7:48 - 7:52] as well as every other person I know that's been arrested.
[7:52 - 7:57] But, do I feel like the officer needed to be on the back of his neck?
[7:57 - 7:59] No.
[7:59 - 8:02] Like the officer did go a bit excessive.
[8:02 - 8:09] Now, do I feel like the officer deserved to get charged with second-degree murder?
[8:09 - 8:14] Yes and no, because like I said, at the end of the day,
[8:14 - 8:20] he did ultimately kill someone, but at the end of the day,
[8:20 - 8:23] he was merely doing his job.
[8:23 - 8:31] You know, he was merely doing his job and his duty as a police officer.
[8:31 - 8:42] So like, I can honestly say, you know, like, not all officers are bad, dude.
[8:42 - 8:46] I can honestly say this, John, not all officers are bad.
[8:46 - 8:48] Some are actually very good.
[8:48 - 8:53] The ones that I know personally that I'm good friends with are very good people.
[8:53 - 8:58] There are good officers out there, and I do actually know a few of them.
[8:58 - 9:04] Like I'm very good friends with a few police officers around here that I've known for years.
[9:04 - 9:11] They're very good people, but it's these bad ones that just, they're shitty.
[9:11 - 9:21] Like there are some police officers that just don't need to be officers.
[9:21 - 9:26] But at the end of the day, you know, the officer was merely doing his job.
[9:26 - 9:29] Now, like I said, he shouldn't have necessarily gone to jail.
[9:29 - 9:34] I feel like maybe a suspension would have sufficed, you know,
[9:34 - 9:39] suspended for so many days without pay or whatever.
[9:39 - 9:43] I really don't think the officer should have gone to jail.
[9:43 - 9:50] But ultimately, at the end of the day, what he did could actually be considered murder,
[9:50 - 10:05] in a sense. To a certain degree, it could be considered murder.
[10:05 - 10:12] And that's where things are great, because, you know, like I said, I stand on both sides of it.
[10:12 - 10:17] Yes, George Floyd's death was a tragedy. It really was.
[10:17 - 10:22] And I feel like we could all learn something from that.
[10:22 - 10:29] But at the same time, the officer was also merely doing his job.
[10:29 - 10:36] So I said, it's a very gray area for me. It really is like,
[10:36 - 10:51] I said, on one hand, the officer was doing his job, but also on the other hand, you know.
[10:51 - 11:08] Hey, Jake. What up, you crazy fool? What up, fool?
[11:08 - 11:14] Yeah, exactly. And seeing that's where I see and that's where the gray area is.
[11:14 - 11:18] And I do agree with you on that one, dude. He did take doing his job way too far.
[11:18 - 11:29] I do agree with that one hundred percent.
[11:29 - 11:34] Yo, matter of fact, hold up. Yeah, hold on. Y'all stop the chat for a minute.
[11:34 - 11:47] Yes, that's the real Jake, man. That is the real fucking Jake.
[11:47 - 11:52] How you doing, motherfucker? How you doing, you crazy mofo?
[11:52 - 11:58] I know if you all don't know my brother Jake by now, if you all don't know my motherfucking little brother Jake,
[11:58 - 12:05] go watch the vlog that I did a couple of days ago. You'll get to know him real quick and how crazy we are.
[12:05 - 12:23] His first cut's in this one with a man at first and two away.
[12:23 - 12:26] So, you know, like I said, at the end of the day, you know.
[12:26 - 12:30] Oh, thank you. Come on, let's see if I can steal this.
[12:30 - 12:35] Oh, well, as they come into this one tonight, they're coming off to a bit of a slow start with you.
[12:35 - 12:39] I expect that I got him in the end of his over one.
[12:39 - 12:48] Yeah, he would get to race. So he's on to the bottom of any number one, no score.
[12:48 - 12:56] They know, like I said, at the end of the day, the whole thing with George Floyd, it really was a tragedy and it never should have happened.
[12:56 - 13:11] It never should have gone that far.
[13:11 - 13:18] And what can I say? You get me and my brother Jake together. We're crazy. We're too crazy motherfuckers.
[13:18 - 13:22] He's a crazy redneck. I'm a crazy redneck.
[13:22 - 13:41] What can I say?
[13:41 - 13:53] Yeah, yeah, yeah, it says the one who freaking tried to get himself a tail by a fucking log the other day when we were filming the crazy motherfucker.
[13:53 - 14:01] Actually, no, I take that back. It says the one who tried to fucking kill me in this goddamn truck a couple of days ago.
[14:01 - 14:16] You asshole.
[14:16 - 14:20] If y'all don't know what part of the blog I'm referencing, go back and watch it.
[14:20 - 14:36] You'll see what I mean. This crazy son of a bitch tried to kill me. That motherfucker tried to kill me in his fucking truck.
[14:36 - 14:51] Hey, yo, Crips. Speaking of which, did you watch that blog, dude?
[14:51 - 14:59] Hey, Savage Dabs. What's up, man? How you doing, buddy?
[14:59 - 15:24] Yo, Nick, what up, dude?
[15:24 - 15:33] Yeah, you did. You scared the fuck out of me, you little asshole.
[15:33 - 15:37] Hey, Dress. Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you.
[15:37 - 15:43] And yes, there will be more blogs to come. We are going to meet him. We're actually going to be filming vlogs like every other weekend.
[15:43 - 15:53] So about every other weekend or so, you guys are going to get to see some dope ass vlogs.
[15:53 - 16:01] Damn, dude, I'm getting blown the fuck up with shit here, man.

[16:39 - 17:06] Because I did just get a Pok�mon Go.

[21:31 - 21:45] Hey, too sweet, what up?

[22:15 - 22:33] Hold on, guys. Yo, guys, stop the chat for a second. I'm trying to add something around here.
[22:33 - 22:49] 6.9. 7.9. 7.9. 1.0. 6.9.1.2.
[22:49 - 22:54] Alright, I sent you a request. Who else?
[22:54 - 22:59] Alright, hold on.

[23:49 - 23:58] Yo, Outlaw, it's saying that your code isn't, like, being read off, dude. It's weird.
