he s in an isolation cell that doesn t have all the amenities that he wants. so it s one of those things, kevin blanco wants this and he wants it now. well, he s not going to get it now. i ll give him the third and final directive. if he still refuses to come out and be cuffed, we ll extract him using whatever force is necessary. have you guys ever had to extract someone from the rec yard? i was kind of filming the guys coming up, and i remember panning over to see kevin, and he was gone. and i figured out he had moved to the top of the basketball hoop. he was like a cat. i mean, he must have moved up there so quickly, he just disappeared. the first plan was to come out and spray him with the oc spray. we all had to suit up, we all had to put on gas masks. this is what s going to happen. we re going to go in, give him some directives, bringing k-9 down. because if the directives don t
definitely a challenge at times. there s no doubt. i have to be honest and say it is dangerous. we captured several of blanco s standoffs with staff, including this one with deputy warden joanie brown. and then you want to stand here and threaten to keep playing games. you re right. because you all yeah. you 100% [ bleep ] right, and i am, and i am going to continue playing games. all right, well and you can [ bleep ]. the game s begun. t oesn t have to go this way. yeah, whatever. well, idoesn t. whatever. all right. we re going to close the food port and we re going to go away. okay? go ahead. all right. put your hand in. no. kevin was constantly in a battle of wills with the correctional staff. let me talk to him for just a minute. come on, kevin. you all started this [ bleep ]. i m not going to stop until i [ bleep ]. what do you want? what i want? yeah, what do you want? you [ bleep ]. what i want. yeah, what do you want? first of
if i get you a lunch am i going to stop? no. tomorrow same [ bleep ]. with kevin blanco you never knew what was going to happen. case in point, i was actually interviewing an officer about kevin blanco he has a problem with authority. and in the midst of this we heard over the radio that kevin had taken his rec cage hostage. we re going to stop. come out with us right now. kevin blanco. you all want a reason to keep me in a cell? here s you all s reason. when we arrived at the rec pen, we found the deputy warden trying to talk blanco into cuffing up and leaving the pen. but blanco would have no part of it. if you want the possibility of being moved, then you re going to have to practice some patience. bottom line. whatever you all say. so are we going to have any issues until this is whatever you all say. you all have you all s way. you re right. i ll talk to you later. thank you. thank you, all. he s currently prehearing detention, which means he s got

because if the directives don t work, then we re going to deploy with the oc. if the wind s too bad, then we re going to drop a cs grenade. see what effect that has. the team attempts to spray oc gas into the rec pen, but the distance is too great to have any effect at all. not working. kevin seemed pretty immune to the oc spray, and even wearing the mask i could smell it, and i was affected by it. didn t faze kevin at all. next, the team deploys the more powerful cs grenade, but that also proves ineffective. you guys done yet? i don t know if he was used to it or if he was just putting on a front to show how tough he was. but he stayed pretty calm during the whole ordeal. and the next thing we know, the staff is bringing out rifles. which, to us, was quite
