BLM Can “Say Their Names” Because the Names Are So Few

in terms of the police because there. does seem to be an issue here with the. police and the black community this is. from what i've casually observed. how would you address this issue. as uh as somebody that we make candace. owens president tomorrow. uh what do we do do we demilitarize the. police do we de-incentivize no we don't. well isn't there a way to demilitarize. our kids i'm not saying defund them but. do do we need for the police to be like. storm troopers running around the. country kicking down doors because.

somebody might be smoking a joint. there's got to be a way. to reign the police in a little bit no. let's be clear the police are not. kicking down your door because you're. smoking a joint okay so that is like. that's like that's like left is a. fantasy land like i'm just smoking good. joy and the police always just kick down. the door and because they're just like. military right now like come on that's. ridiculous like maybe you're a drug. dealer and you happen to be smoking a. joint and the police came at that moment. but let's let's be real about that. secondly i have this crazy i'm trying.

i'm trying. i've just spoken to joy man i just came. in here guns are waving. um but what i will say. i'm a big believer in teaching your kids. to respect police officers so somebody. can point to me to um the case this year. where the person who we saw being you. know aggressively pursued by the police. was listening to the police officers um. instructions then i would say okay maybe. we do have an issue with police officers. every single case that is brought to the.

public forefront the thing that never. gets discussed is why couldn't this. person listen to police orders and i. mean we're not talking about like the. police snapped on the i'm talking the. police officer is saying 18 20 30 times. giving them an instruction and they. don't do it and they keep coming towards. the police officer a police officer's. life needs to be protected too um and. these people are crazy what we saw in. philadelphia with that guy walter. wallace. wielding a knife i mean and and still. black lives matter protested and rioted.

and looted and because he was shot and. killed as he should have been shot and. killed because he tried to kill police. officers um the problem is that we have. arrived suddenly into a society where. people do not believe that they have to. respect adults period and this is what. happens when you have an entire. generation of people who have grown up. without fathers in the home you know the. idea of listening to any type of. authority feels to them to be like an. assault why should i have to listen to a. police officer why should i have. listened to my teacher why should i. listen to my guidance counselor we have. an authority issue in this country in.

terms of having basic respect and and. it's not a hard request when a police. officer pulls you over i've been pulled. over i listened to his instructions. that's the first thing right now you. have parents teaching people you don't. have to listen to police officers. instructions if you are black but when. we look it's going to lead to more black. death when we look at a lot of these. videos we see incidences where police. seem to be using excessive force right. now the most extreme example is george. floyd who lost his life but then there's. other. examples where we look at the videos and.

we go wait a minute what in god's name. is happening. why are the cops doing this why are they. sitting on a guy. why are they cutting off his airway like. can't shouldn't cops be trained. to. basically get someone in cuffs and then. put them in a police car. and not use a lot of these techniques. that they're using whether it's a. chokehold or something where you can do. serious damage to somebody wouldn't that. be good to kind of do more training i. mean more training is not a bad idea.

right for the police saying when is it. when is a cop done a choke hold on. somebody without asking them to first. abide by basic instructions. let's use george floyd as an example. because they refused to release the full. tape in its entirety until it leaked to. daily mail you know some eight months. after the riots had stopped right. he was asked to get in the vehicle he. was already in cops and was asked to get. the vehicle he resisted getting in the. vehicle as he was standing he was. already cuffed said he was. claustrophobic and didn't want to get in. the vehicle and asked to be put on the. ground right this is after he had they.

had gotten him from a car so we knew he. wasn't claustrophobic when he was in the. car trying to get rid of his fentanyl. right then they try to put him in the. police cruiser and he starts saying i. can't get in there i'm claustrophobic. saying i can't breathe as he's standing. up right so. once again we have a situation where. we're so keen to say what police. officers could have done differently. what can human beings you know people. that are not police officers do follow. basic instructions well we got to. imagine that the their interests are not. to put you in a chokehold right but the. job the job of a cop is you're dealing.

with people when they're not at their. best right now i have people that i know. that are cops that tell me our job is. we're if we're at a situation you're. already dealing with somebody that's not. at their best they might be drunk they. might be on drugs they're they're. basically this is not the best moment of. their day and i just think that it can't. be like hey abide by me or the immediate. next step is chokehold there does have. to be some value in de-escalation. training or we cannot stand on someone's. head i'm sure you agree with the george. floyd you know that like what they did.

to george floyd was was murder it was. crazy i mean i agree with that and i've. said it over and over again. that situation even though i do feel. it's important to point out that george. floyd by his you know um according to. his death record he did not die from a. choke hold he died from a fentanyl. overdose i'm sure the chokehold didn't. help i'm i'm sure it didn't help but he. he he was not restrained in a way that. stopped his breathing. media misrepresentation that should be. clarified right um but regardless if i. don't think a police officer should be. on anybody's neck for nine for nine. minutes right um and so i will agree.

with you on that assessment but i what i. also am disagreeing with you on um is. the idea. that this is the standard across police. officers you know what i mean i mean. millions and millions of arrests every. single year and we're talking about 20. of them. um that go wrong all right and nine. black men where the situation went wrong. this year down from what obama was in. office so we're hyper focusing on an. issue um. nine arrests that went wrong in all of. in all of 2019 despite 2020 despite all.

of these arrests um and why are we doing. that human beings are not perfectable so. you're never going to be able to beat. that amazing number of nine going wrong. right but and this is the reason why we. know the names of every single black. person that has ended in an unfortunate. circumstance with police officers. because it doesn't happen often so we're. able to know every single one of their. names and um you know again i believe in. personal responsibility and. accountability i think police officers. are treated horribly more often than the. other way around and and the data and.

statistics back up my point police. officers are killed by black men 18 and. a half times more than black men are. killed by police officers so you're now. you're you're you're putting the honest. on police officers to be even nicer even. though they're 18 and a half times more. likely to end up dead than the other. than the other way around um no it. doesn't it's a dangerous job it's a. dangerous job and it's one of those jobs. where i think like a nurse like i joke. around about nurses now that are yelling. and screaming on facebook about how. tough their jobs i get it it's a tough. job but when you were a nurse you also.

signed up for the idea that sick people. were going to come into hospitals this. is part of what you signed up for so i. just feel like with cops like they. signed up for a job that was potentially. deadly it was very dangerous and they. are not the ones complaining and. protesting right all right yeah she's. you know but but listen sometimes they. complain when you do when you ask them. uh to you know potentially. you know. you know. like take a look at their behavior or. their culpability i've heard cops just.

like rejected out of hand but i've heard. other really smart people go that our. police go listen there should be more. de-escalation training right there. should be more training cops should be. able to. use other tools other than a physical. hold immediately or a chokehold or. something like that there should be more. psychological training about immediately. i hate when people say that because they. don't do that immediately that is not an. instinct of a cop it has not been the. instinct in any of the police videos. we've seen even this year do assess. it always escalates that situation after.

a long period of peace.
