In the term, and most of whatever ideas and or intended to those or diminish the human liberty. Host remembering say you saying, made when you ran for the bear new york. They just seem people throw the garbage out the window. If the people would pick it up and deal with it rather than government deal with things. William no.

And then of course you have other people, you know, in their battle stations saying of course, another story of cops who immediately shoot a black man for just sleeping in his car. But like, it is messy. No one wants to admit that the thing is messy. Its [bleep] messy. If the story didnt happen now, maybe we would be looking at it differently. But it is a messy story. It is not the per sphect perfect story. And in a weird way it not being the perfect story means we shouldnt look at it in the most perfect way possible. We should try and break it down and understand how Something Like this comes to be. Because we dont always have video like this, we dont always have stories like this. We dont always even look at it like. This
The details wrong. But as far as i know, you have probably seen the video or read the story. Rayshard was in his car in a wendys drive thru. He was drunk or tip see or he had had alcohol and he fell asleep. Fell asleep, people are driving around his car. And so somebody at the windies called the cops. The cops arrived at wendys and they get rayshard out of the car. And they Start Talking to him for about 30 minutes. Asking him, is he drunk, why is he driving, what is going on.

The cops are talking to him like a person. Theyre not being theyre not being disrespectful, they are not being mean or anything. Hes being respectful. He is calling them sir. He is not k
Another monday, another monday in the middle of corona and in the middle of protests about Police Brutality. And yet its another monday of another Police Brutality incident. Like another story that has people going how long, how much, when is it enough. The story is out of atlanta. Rayshard brooks. And forgive me if i get any of the details wrong. But as far as i know, you have probably seen the video or read the story. Rayshard was in his car in a wendys drive thru. He was drunk or tip see or he had had alcohol and he fell asleep.

For about 30 minutes. Asking him, is he drunk, why is he driving, what is going on. It seems pretty standard. And the whole time throughout this video you have human beings being human beings.
