From your perspective, what have you seen out here since the incident with Mr. Gray?
Well, basically what I've seen, what we call a civil unrest.
That's what it is.
We have our buildings burning down, our youth are upset, you know, and people are upset.
We're upset.
We had a riot, a civil unrest.
Everything that goes with a civil unrest, we had here.
We had the building burning, we had police cars being turned over, and basically that's what happened.
There's a civil unrest going on, and I'm glad you guys are here.
I've been waiting for y'all for the last couple days.
The media, you see the circus.
It's been out here for the last couple days.
I won't talk to none of them.
The CNN, ABs.
Ask my homie, I tell you.
I've been out here for days walking around.
I ain't talking to nobody.
But then you see me, I'm talking to y'all.
And watch what happens when I get finished talking to y'all.
Who are they going to talk to, okay?
Because we don't like how they're portraying our city.
We don't like how these people out here interview our people and then come on the news talking about we're thugs and we're this and we're not.
We're not thugs.
This is Baltimore City.
This is a city that has culture.
We've been here a long time.
Students that graduate from here and go to an all-black college, which is Morgan State College University.
We have people here that join the FBI, okay?
They leave here and join the National Security.
When I graduated from high school, I worked for the National Security Agency.
That was my first job.
We're not no stupid people here.
Man, we upset.
We're mad.
Because we've been living in poverty so long and nobody's listening to us and we're tired of the police shooting us, killing us, and our kids and our baby are going to grow up with an education.
And Infowars is here!
I'm telling you, I'm the Infowars in Baltimore, baby.
You done got me.
Y'all here now.
What y'all need?
Who y'all want to talk to?
I'll take you anywhere.
Anywhere y'all want to go, I want to take you.
I got access to everything in Baltimore City.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
Hold on.
We're going to save this country.
The first thing I want to address is the indictment or the investigation that's been handed down before it was taken so long.
That was me.
It took 72 hours.
I've been prosecuted.
My picture would have been all over the news.
My rap sheet would have been all over the news.
I've been having accountability for my actions.
I understand it's a due process, but when it's behind closed doors and y'all all together, y'all allowed to say anything and y'all working with each other.
Stephanie Rollins-Blake, Bates, Bates, whatever his name is, man, y'all not doing y'all job.
Matter of fact, we don't need one child doing y'all job anymore.
We don't need one child here in our city.
Basically, go back to Oakland, where he came from.
There's a bigger problem out there.
You couldn't handle it out there.
Why bring him over here?
Stephanie Rollins-Blake, all y'all friends down there, all y'all working together.
When Sheila left, that was your homegirl.
She made sure you got in there.
We don't want none of y'all in office no more.
We want to stop all the polices.
From policing our people, the way they do, they're beating on us, they're locking us up for nothing, eye contact.
That's every day in the city.
You're talking about a highly known drug addict.
You can go anywhere in Baltimore City and find a highly known drug addict.
That's still not probable cause to lock me up.
Y'all charged a man with a knife.
That wasn't an original stock.
The man wasn't posing no threat.
He'd run away from y'all.
When that man was on the ground, I want to know why medical attention didn't get there.
He did not resist the arrest not one time.
Y'all had him in custody.
Why wasn't medical attention there?
Why would that van pull over, man shagging his legs, and throw him back in that head first?
That's what I want to know.
That ain't only what I want to know.
I want to know why was your cameras dead and you did not get into that.
Y'all got me four blocks away for something.
But y'all couldn't get him right there?
Y'all couldn't get to see who done that?
Y'all got one officer pleading a fifth.
You know why?
Because she afraid to say something because y'all know the department is going to turn her back on her.
The department is going to turn her back on her.
And the only thing I'm telling y'all is this.
All these people out here, take them over there.
They're all the mic schemes.
They're talking about God.
God is not what matters right now.
Reality matters.
What's going on with them kids?
Y'all need to get them.
They out there holding that mic.
Take that mic near school.
Getting there them kids right now to talk to people.
These people don't care about anything.
Wait till Friday come.
Wait till Friday come.
And that virgin I handed down for you once.
Somebody got to get charged.
If nobody gets charged, I don't know what else to say.
Y'all can't even say nothing to us.
Y'all can't say nothing else to us.
Oh yeah, let me do one more thing.
Me?
I'm not participating.
No legal activity.
Let's get that straight right now.
All right.
Thank you, my man.
Mrs. Do you have something you want to say?
Basically, I just want to say that today is a day.
Yesterday was a day.
Tomorrow's another day.
This is just one point in time for something that happens out here every single day.
And it's not just weeks.
It's years.
It's decades.
It's generations.
So a lot of times what I notice from the news is that spin factor.
want to make the people that are the victims the addicts.
What to make the addicts the victims.
It doesn't work like that.
This is crystal clear that's what's going on.
Black men are losing their lives.
Black men are getting harassed.
You can run away from the police, but if you're not being treated daily by someone, and someone is harassing you on a day-to-day occasion, you're not going to want to come towards them.
You're not going to want to feel like you're going to get justified.
We see it on the news.
We see it on the news.
You can run away from the cops and still get eight bullets in your back, and you can still have been framed if someone didn't have a camera phone.
The only thing that's changed is that we have camera phones now.
Nothing's changed with these crooked cops.
Nothing's changed.
The same question my daughter's asking me is the same question that my mother asked her mother.
So this is just, it's just psychological.
You can't understand why this is happening that you haven't lived these people's life.
You can't understand why people are doing this.
You're sitting in judgment for something that you don't live every day.
You have poverty.
If you have no education, you're depressed, war on poverty stops at the gate of the hood.
That's how I feel.
It doesn't come in.
And after this is all over, things just need to change on a day-to-day basis.
It doesn't mention COVID. It doesn't mention COVID. We can see it.
We want to see change permanently.
We have a black mayor.
We have a black commissioner.
But there's still a disconnect.
and for our mayor who's supposed to be representing us to call our own children thugs, for a president to call a nation of children that haven't been heard thugs this is the reaction that you're going to get children are children if it's an adult, you can call an adult a thug but we failed our children, that's why they're thugs if you want to judge and you're not volunteering we don't need to eat if you're not a part of the solution, you're still a part of the problem we're not trying to sugarcoat this
It is bad.
I mean for this good neighborhood, this bad neighborhood.
Also, a small section of a city, of a state, and of a nation, and of a world has a much bigger problem.
So this is just a microcosm of what's going on in the world.
You see what's going on in Egypt.
You see what's going on in Pakistan.
This is just westernization at its smallest point.
So we just gotta put this out there that if we're not trying to change this problem, it's for us.
We're trying to change it for the world, for our children.
