[ applause ] but no mother,
i know that you all are, you know, leaders and are here whenever we need you as far as a legal the activists is the one that are bringing attention to this. uh-huh. and myself personally in this field have been pushed off by, you know, legal team knowing that i m standing for them and even talking to other activists, standing for these families and being warned out there, what do you tell them when they re out there fighting for the family and not to be heard? well, one of the first things i always try to do and a lot of people who are activists end up working for my law firm because when you have a commitment to justice, that s what we want to be about and i always want to thank the activists, every press conference, the first thing i do
is come and thank the activists because without you all, we wouldn t be at this point. nobody was talking about justice for tyre like kareem ali and you all. there s something going on with this attorney crump and i want to applaud you all privately and publicly because without you all we wouldn t get justice for tyre, we wouldn t have got justice for george floyd. we couldn t have gotten justice for ahmaud arbery, we wouldn t get justice for breonna taylor without the activists. no way we can get justice so we thank all the activist community.
