 Hattie Hattie Clutus. How was your day? Oh, it was okay. There's a lot of people really upset about the Denzel situation. Pretty much everybody feels like his firing is completely unjustified. Why's that? Because he's gotten daps for a lot of things that were basically nothing or other people have done multiple times and have never been reprimanded for it. Can you give me an example? The pit into the Johnson situation. Where? Where's about it? It's been maintained. It's been snored down now. Where's the Elgin? It's been picked under the freeway. Jesus Christ. A good pit, man. You just killed somebody with that pit. Good shit, guys. Check on them. Check on them. A firm. It's Johnson! He got one down for that. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody, I mean, I've seen multiple officers directly run over civilians. Why are you reporting this right now? Why is it not being brought up? Because like men, they get out the car and say, hey, sir, I'm sorry. Are you okay? Is everything all good? Whatever. And then what happens? They say, oh, officer, I completely understand. That's fine. Do you need an EMS? Do you need me to take you to the hospital? Are you all good? Hell, I'll tell you half the time. They say, hey, you stupid son of a bitch. What are you doing? Go chase that guy. I mean, the most important person is going to hurt. Then the rest of them afterwards. No, no, no, I agree. The situation with the DAP, I mean, we got a pending lawsuit. We got somebody who went down and filed a complaint. Somebody got hurt, right? So, so, so a fired officer got hurt and in an active retaliation towards the PD came and made a complaint to the police department and threatened to sue and threaten to sue the police department. The man almost died. The man almost died. Sure, sure. But he was also completely falsifying the story. I talked with him and he told me that there was nobody there for him. Nobody, nobody was there when he got hurt. Nobody, I spoke with Denzel. I spoke with the Z's. I heard them tell the story to people. There's multiple people that they went and saw him in the hospital. They afterwards. Yeah, they went and saw him in the hospital. He told me nobody was there for nobody saw him in the hospital. No, no, no, none of that. This is a man who is vindictive against the PD and you let a civilian's vindictive actions come in and damage the police department that they're not a part of that. That is a major fault in the system. Cludes, you need to work for the police department. And who is the police department serve? The people. Exactly. So the people and one of the people got hurt and sure. But what about what about all the other people? This happens all the time. Right. But just because it happens. So why is it? Why is it that the guy who is at nine daps is the first guy to have this shit enforced on him. And it's done so in such a way. Because he was the first he was one of the first people to have an instance like this. No, no, no, no. Absolutely. That's just not true. Okay. Give me an example then. What has somebody been pitted to where the car were flying? It went on a sidewalk. Somebody got hurt with that ICU. I've seen worse. I've seen officers directly run over somebody, senior officers. Okay. And why is this not being brought up or because it was hashed out right then and there, like adults and you talk about it and they say, thank you, officer, for stopping. Thank you. I'm not vindictive because I see that you're trying to help me because at the end of the slacks, what did you tell me whenever I came into the city? Do you remember? I do remember very well. You told me you told me the key principles of what's going on with this new PD first and first. Mostly you said you wanted people to feel safe. You didn't want to lose the city because all this talk about a failed PD, all this talk about, you know, you want to keep people safe and you want people to feel like they're really protected by the police, right? That's exactly right. It's about integrity. Yeah. Respect. Absolutely. Commitment and inspiring folks. Absolutely. So have you noticed how, and I'm not taking away anything from anybody else, how there is an overwhelming amount of positive reaction that the average person in this city has to me, including the criminals, because I listened to you and I said, okay, that's great because I believe in the same thing. And I took that to heart and I believe every single person in this city who's ever seen me would more than likely say that I probably uphold that standard, probably as well as anybody else. Slacks, I know you're a young guy. I get it, but I see a lot of myself in you. I really do. I think you got a good head on your shoulders, but the way things are getting done, a lot of people want to point at you and blame you. And the truth is we don't have three captains doing 12 different command positions jobs. We have one and a half, and it's all fallen on you. One and a half. I mean, we know the truth. Cabin Ruth ain't here. Damier. Yeah. And by the way, the worst shift, the morale of that shift is miserable. It is, it is not enjoyable. The entire shift, it's cloaking daggers. Cleese, you're talking about respect. You're not even respecting another captain, though, right? How can you, how can you deny respect? What has Brooke Ruth done to deserve respect? What? She helped build this police department from start. And where has that gotten us? What is that supposed to mean? What do you mean? Just look around. You're placing a blame on one person in the face. I'm just as equal as guilty as she is. No, you are not. Yes, I am. You have your own problems. You have your own problems. It is not just on you and it is not equally on you. I personally, I mean, I understand Turner's situation. I've talked about it, but from what I know, I know enough. I know all I need to know in order for me to feel as if it's reasonable and thank God for barrack and flop and shift three stepping up as seniors and, and, you know, holding it down and shift three, because shift three has been phenomenal. Why are there people in shift one that are going behind each other's backs and arguing with each other that are talking each other in front of suspects, that are talking down to cadets, talking down to PPO's, trying to separate the PPO. There's, there's talks about officers who have been talking about how much they hate the PPO's and how hello. That is not at all remotely how you run any sort of an organization ever. It is, to me, that is disgusting behavior. Absolutely. Absolutely. You said your piece as far as that. For me, it comes down to respect. That's the whole issue. And, and, and Ruth has done damn near nothing to deserve respect. I'm sorry. How could you say that? How could you, how could you say that? Look, look at what's happening around you. As far as what? The disc, the disc content. Yeah. And the dabs on Denzel. The dabs on me. I'm looking at somebody who's also part of the problem. Okay. You can sit there. I would, I would love that. The reality things, the reality things. Okay. Is you've got yourself in trouble multiple times. And hell. By who? You want to pull up your dabs? Oh, yeah, what some arbitrary rules that were made up by made up. Yeah, it was made up by a policy. Yeah, there is a standard and a policy that clearly nobody else in the city gives a damn about slacks. Why are you comparing? Why am I comparing? Because what did you say at the beginning of this conversation? Who do we work for? The people. The people. So why do the people of this city respect me so much? I don't understand what you're saying. What I'm saying is I work for the people, but the captains are the ones who are making these rules that you get dapped for, not the people. So why are the people who are not in charge, the people who are now punishing me when I'm there for those people, not the captains? What the fuck does that mean? You're part of a police department. Absolutely. No, absolutely. You're one mirror that reflects all of us. Yeah. And you're out there. Should be. What the hell are you talking about? The reason I'm talking to you is because you are in trouble. You're doing the opposite. What you're saying? You're out there causing problems as well, Cletus. Okay. What problems? The shooting with Donald Bush, the 23rd, because I shot him an extra time. Hey, everybody stopped shooting. Everybody stopped shooting. You magged up the guy. You said to yourself, you emptied two magazines. Apparently there wasn't enough. You got too emotional with the whole thing and walked up to him and put one more bullet in his head. You're lucky you're not looking at murder. Please, sir, I will not hesitate to shoot you. I will not hesitate to shoot you. I've been itching to shoot somebody stupid like you today. So please, please give me the reason to do so. Suspect down. Also 13 alpha. Okay. It's okay. He's down. He's from PD Suspect down. And just can you hear me? For sure. I was making sure. I got you. Don't worry. Even though you shot him a million times, he's already got five bullets in there. What is your amen? Yeah, I think I missed a lot. You know, if this guy dies, you might be in big, big, big, big trouble. We try to kill Andrews. I know, but when you subdued him, there was a bunch of officers who saw you just unload into him and they continued to. This is really bad, Cornwood. He was still crawling towards me. It's been an honor. I hope that they understand. Okay, Andrews, you know what I just did? You're back, Cornwood. How many bullets you got left? None. That's what I like to hear, Cornwood's back, boys. Look, you know what? If you are a guy, if you're Donald Bush, the 23rd, and you're looking at an officer with your knife out, and there's 10 other officers, point their guns at you. It's 25, nine, enough. You need 26. Six officers, emptied magazines. Do the math on that. Six times 12 minimum. What is that? Like a hundred and 80. But the issue I'm having is not only that, but also it was after effect. Remember, it's a stop and ceasefire, right? Is another bullet came out. And that's the reason why I'm saying it's excessive, right? Sure. But here's who did shooting him because who did that hurt? Somebody died. And on top of it, your fellow officers saw that. And once again, what did I tell you? My fellow shift, my fellow shift one officers who have been trained and the culture and shift one. I'm not going to stop saying it because everybody believes it. No, no, no, no, no. It is the truth. You're starting to believe it as well, because you're telling yourself that, okay? Because I've seen it with my own eyes. You have seen it, but you're throwing everybody on the same umbrella. How is that fair? How is that fair? No, I don't think it's everybody in shift one. There is a lot of people in shift one, yes, that act this way. Why does it not happen in shift two and shift three? Because our leadership is not this way. No, but the problem is, what do you try to say? Act this way. As far as that incident, what issues you have with it? What is it they did that you have a problem with? I think, I think if it's like a, hey, don't do that. Okay. I respect that. That's fine. You think I've not done that with you? Because I took your away from you, okay? You are a shift two. But stop putting the shift one, shift two, shift three. You see that's the problem. No, no, no, no, it does. It does. It absolutely does. It does, but they've already done it. You don't understand. So two wrongs make a right. Is that what you're saying? No, I'm saying one thing is wrong, and there's two rights and one wrong, and it's very clear. This is something that is festering inside of your police department, and I'm trying to stop it from happening because you can't be everywhere all at once. It's impossible. Right. And it's not fair to you. Clues, I'm not here for me. I'm here for you and the whole dark police department. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's about it being about everybody, and everybody needs the person that is there to do things right and to be empowered to do things right. We need more better leadership. Ruth is just not good. The way that she operates. Where is this coming from? Where? Because it blows my mind that you don't see it. Everybody who's complaining about the problem is acting as also part of the problem. No, we're not acting like adults because people are going to the mayor and complaining. People are going to any open ear. There's one to listen to our internal problems. That should not happen. That is completely mature. No, no. I agree with you. But here's the thing. When you keep talking about something and nobody's listening to you, is it really that immature? I've always listened to you. This is the first time I'm hearing about this. As far as how I feel like a lot of things are coming out as far as how you feel. I can tell there's a lot of frustration. I'm very, very frustrated and I'm going as far. I'm disappointed. It's really easy to them done because I've been trying to change the culture since day one. Since day one. I keep trying to push and preach. But I feel like sometimes it's falling deaf ears. People get stuck in their old habits. People don't want to have a standard. People have a hard time taking accountability. Their actions. I understand the frustration. I get it. I get the fact that we're going through a rough phase right now because what's happened with Turner and obviously, you know, Ruth is around early mornings. I'm in between and I was gone for the weekend. So I told you understand what you're saying. Now I want to fix it, right? You have to have the right people in place to promote a good positive culture. And how do you find the right person? But it's because I don't know. I'll tell you what, we probably had the best damn meetings that we had in the three days that I was leading them. I'm not saying I'm the one who needs to be in charge, but I'm just saying somebody who can rally the troops like you said I can needs to rally the damn troops. Sometimes you need somebody who get who understands people. Look, you want to be the LSPD cheer team? Hell, if it means people are happy, hand me the pom poms. I don't give a shit. Okay. What makes the police department fantastic is you have different kind of pieces come together, right? And when the right pieces fall in a right order, you paint a really good picture of what a fantastic quality police department should be in Los Santos. But the thing is we start off as a skeleton crew, right? Yeah. And where are they? By the way, I know I'm getting to that point. I'm getting to that point. Okay. We start off with a skeleton crew. I'm kind of explaining to you everything that's transposed. I'm not trying to make any excuses. I take full responsibility for how it may happen. If there's anybody to get blamed, blame me because I'm at the helm. And I'm not trying to wait for many accountability and responsibility, right? But when there's an issue and there was a problem, I'll be the first person to raise my hands. You know what? I fucked up and I should do better, right? Yeah. And that's what we want in the PD is self-awareness. Yeah. No, I get that. That's been the biggest problem. That's what's hurting us the most, in my opinion. That has been the biggest problem in the PD because nobody's willing, you know, take it while also dishing somebody else. Right. I agree. And I think Cab Ruth needs to take it because she only dishes it. When is she taking it? Multiple times. She's been dapped twice by me. Dapped twice? You want me to get you a few more? No. I can, I can, I'm ready. You want Ruth to get 10 daps? I can get out of list. You ready? No. No. You want to hear this? I want you, if there's an issue, you report it. That's the problem. I don't want the vindictive, you know, kind of style. It's not about me. I can avoid shift one all day. But you know who can't? Denzel, who is now fired because of some bullshit ass vindictive daps that have occurred on him. When he is one of our, when we're talking about on the front lines, he is always out here putting in a ton of hours. It doesn't even make sense. Why is it that the people with the most hours have the most daps? Actually, I'll take it a step further. Why is it that the people with the most hours have the most daps? However, and I don't know how many she's got. I know DeRolo's got daps and she, I never see her on duty. If you want to talk about daps per hour on duty, DeRolo's probably got the most. And look. Because you don't see them, doesn't mean they're not on duty. I mean, shift one folks, right? Yeah. How many hours a week is she on duty? Nobody's going to compare to your hours, please. I know, I know, and I don't think they should. You just said it. Nobody's going to compare to my hours. So how come I have the same standards of daps that they do? How come Denzel has the same standards of daps that they do? So you want special treatment? Yes. I think if you spend more hours on duty, you absolutely deserve a special treatment because it's not special treatment. It's just true. I'll tell you, I'll tell you why the more hours you're on duty, the more punishment. For exhaustion, and you start cutting corners naturally. It happens. It's human nature to cut corners when you deal with a lot of things and you go off. Absolutely it is. That's exactly it, right? I understand there needs to be consequences for your actions, right? But here's the bottom line. You say people need to feel the consequences of their actions and they have to learn that. However, here's what the leadership needs to learn. Their consequences have impact. And if the impact of the consequences does not match what they are being reprimanded for in the first place, then it feels bad. It does not feel just and that's when you have a Denzel situation. Punishment does not fit the crime. How so? Why don't you ask anybody? Ask anybody. As far as what? About the whole DAP system. I'm sorry. People want to act like, oh, it's just corn, wood, and Denzel. It's not. They don't want to talk to y'all. I'll just say it. I'm sorry. Everybody, they don't, they feel like they're talking to a wall. And I should say, that's not fair. Not 100% of people. I need you so I can figure out this problem. Is there folks I need to talk to about this and to the captains? I need to know, Clutus. Or how else am I going to help you and fix it? How are we going to get past this and make progress? It's not about you directly. I don't care if it's about me or not. I just, I need to know. If you tell me there's a problem and people throw it some way and you say, everybody, then who do I talk to? What is going on? What is transpiring? Because so I can understand the issue of what they're bringing up. The punishments are so harsh. They don't feel like a learning opportunity. They feel like a punishment. I, like the impact, the consequence is way, way greater than the impact. The constant, sorry, the impact of whatever you did to get reprimanded in the first place. It's absurd. Once you're losing that standard, what happens? What do you mean? We don't have that standard. Oh, you're talking about not having a demerits is what you're saying. I'm saying, you know, I get the depth. Just something can be harsh. I totally get that. But at the same time, what happens if you tomorrow remove it or make it maybe last only 15 days? It should be 20. I think 20 is fair. The statute of limitations in this city. I could go shoot someone in the head, throw them in the ocean, pull their body out of the ocean, mutilate. No, I didn't throw them in the ocean. But the first part, yeah, I could pull them out of the ocean. I could mutilate them, throw them back in the ocean. And I would be in less trouble for that than wearing the wrong shoes, wearing the wrong hat on duty 31 days later. But what you don't understand is being a police comes a lot of power responsibility. It does a lot, a lot. I understand, but I do understand that. However, I'm talking about the impact of the situation. There is come on. But the problem I want to say, why would anybody want to be a police officer? Why? Because it can make a difference. Because you actually absolutely I have. I definitely have. Sure. But if you're so damn scared to do your job, because you're going to get reprimanded for it, you know what happened today? I had to tell people who wanted to go off duty and wanted to talk about this whole situation to not go off duty. I almost didn't go off duty myself because I felt bad and I didn't want to leave people hanging. I didn't want. I didn't want to have something bad to happen to somebody and then me not be there to help them. He's watching us right now. He's just. Oh, it's a mayor. How do mayor there, Brad? Do you want to come join us? No, it's a one-on-one conversation. Hey guys, we'll be in the lobby. Okay, sounds good. And might take some time though, okay? You're also yourself looking at disciplinary action of what happened at the incident with Donna Bush the 23rd and the incident with Officer Knight. Have you heard? What? With Knight? Knight lied in his report and I told him he lied and I told him to fix his report and put all the facts in there. How does that fall on me? Because you're a part of it with Aziz? I mean, this thing got very serious. Yeah, it did. The judge and the lawyer got involved. So you're saying right now it got serious but when I talked to you on Aziz, it was a joke. No, no. It got serious between us and Brian because Brian is saying a bunch of bullshit that didn't happen. I talked to, we talked to the lawyers and the people involved. And there's even a request for a bench trial as far as the DOJ. Ruby, are you to have a vehicle? All right, where we going? Trying to get, he's in my vintage. We're going to jail. Oh, wait, chill, chill, chill. What the fuck? What? I just discharged my firearm by accident. Did you get shot and why are you bleeding? No, he's not innocent. That's what I fucking did. I'm bleeding. How many times has he resisted? He's on the black landale. Now the black landale. Black Seminole is dead. I'm going for cops. Black Seminole is on scene. The officer's going for black. Seminole has to fame out. Overguffs, overguffs. Here. The paper's going $195. $195. I'm about to make $63,000. I'm about to find him for $63,000. Oh, I am going to find him for $63,000. Hold on, hold on. I'm the one who tackled them multiple times. No, no, no. You said it to me. No, look, we just split it three ways. I'm taking the charge. What the fuck? We split it three ways. Who's going to get sued, guys? I was in primary. I was in primary damn near the whole time. We would have lost him if it wasn't my exception. How is it going to be? Wait, hold on. How is it $63,000? You told me one of the IDs here. Oh, bitch, you go do this yourself. You go do this yourself. You're fucking crazy. What the fuck? Hold on, hold on, hold on. It's the law. It's the law. Hold on, hold on. We can pay to enforce the law. I feel like I'm saying Apple and you guys are hearing orange. I'm saying get this on recording because you can't get this going based on testimony. And simply all he needs to say is he must understood me. It's easy. You think he's asking more? We split this shit three ways. Okay. But then you guys back me up and say you heard them. Let's all lie together. Oh, I was just going to ask you. Don't come on duty. What? What are you talking about? The same sentence disease. Say you're being targeted. And then say you want to make a test of statements. I'm just saying if everyone else can do it. Why can't I do it? Hold on, hold on, hold on. You can't be telling me for over an hour that all these things are happening. And then I'm hearing you talking about corruption. Yo. You're part of the problem. You shot an unarmed man, Brian. No, y'all, y'all. I shot him. Listen, there's no, listen. Guys, listen. All right. I'm talking to y'all here. Okay. Aziz, you tipped me off. You tipped me off. Okay. To him having an adoption fraud case. And because you tipped me off to the adoption fraud, you get $5,000. I charge him for nine. That's 14. We split that shit three ways. And we call it a day. We're up. Right. I don't see the issue. The state gives us $5,000 for the tip off. I charge the nine. 14 three ways. We call that, you know, what is that? That's like $8,000 each. Oh, nice little trip. Hello, Brian. It's good money, man. Listen, I just got done with a guy who's like losing his fucking mind because he baited us into a chase over literally nothing and then refuses to speak. And then when he does speak, he says all kinds of shit. That's very hard to interpret. And now we're talking about doing corruption in the middle of all of this. No, that how literally how is that corrupt? Big Z. Wait, what happened? He's throwing us under the bus. Wait, how? Night was then asked to pretend. Oh, made by the suspect at which for night mentioned that this is highly illegal. The counter statement. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Wait, what the hell? Hold on. What the hell, Brian? No, man. What the? You actually shot them, man. And I didn't say nothing. I put that in the report. I said I shot the guy. No, hold on. What the hell is this, man? You're throwing. You're fucking me over. You're gonna get me fired. I think the best line was in route there, he refused to acknowledge Miranda statements like and statements and proceeded to state, you are dog shit. You do not know how to do your job. This is not de-escalation and other cringe statements. But ultimately led to night deciding to hand over the incident to Aziz. So it's not to escalate the suspect's blood pressure any further. But this dumbass known as Aziz Sultan, despite being handed over, this guy decides to go and press fucking these charges on something I'm trying to disengage from. You can disengage. You dumb fuck. I'm not fucking me over. You can just do it. I'm not. You started fucking me over two hours ago. What? When I had a simple conversation. I had to send you an email, you dumb fuck. Because you said something else. I said go and handle it. I need to send you an email. And how is this handling? What do you mean how is this handling it, Brian? Y'all, listen. Let's just get in the car, okay? You're going to get me fired. Y'all, listen, listen. This is fuck. This is fuck. Hey, hey, listen. It's fine. Everybody get in the car. It's not fine. Listen, get in the car. I'll send this shit in the ocean. We all forget about it. How's that sound? I don't know. I don't know. You're all through a team. We can't really press the fuck. Brian, what the fuck? What do you mean what the fuck? What do you mean what do I mean? What do you mean? It was a joke. It was a joke. We were a bathroom between us three, man. And I said, hey, that was just chilling. This was chilling. Yeah. Well, okay, this is not fancy. Now it's official. You know what? I'll tell you what my problem is, Aziz. All right. I think I made it very clear what sort of situation this was. And you decided to, for whatever reason, decide to bring this even further. No. I thought you wanted to get rid of your hands of the situation. Yeah. That doesn't mean, brother, I am the primary on this case. I'm like, this guy is a fucking cringelord. All right. Please handle this. And you decide that you go and press all these charges. Instead, we could be back. I'm doing my fucking job, man. I'll get there if I don't press the charges on you. And I'm doing my job right now, too. Wow. After that hard to hide, we had for like two hours. All right. I'm going to get fired. I'm going to lose my job because of a conversation I thought we was having. It's been a long, it's been a fun ride. If you read that, that is plain corruption. Corruption is, I mean, the way he words it makes me sound really fucking bad. It says that I was genuinely trying to be corrupt. We were fucking around, man. I mean, it is what it is. Fuck. Is he seriously trying to push these charges? If the answer is yes, we cannot be fucking around. Sure. But at the same time, like so, I mean, you know, Aziz talked to you for a couple hours. And sometimes you just need that hour where our job is taxing. And sometimes you just need, you need to blow off a little steam and make some jokes. How much of it was a joke? I think this is something that I'm going to stand rather firm on. When it's going to come down to serious charges and you want to like, you know. But I wasn't actually trying to get you to put in a fake statement. You even was asking for a controller. How do you get to decide when- You were saying if- How do you get to decide which of your statements you're going to be serious on and which ones you aren't? Maybe it was my fault. I misinterpreted our relation, right? I thought maybe I could joke around a little bit. Brian, I'm going to be 100% honest, looking at this statement and everything that happened. I had to say it, but if you're looking at it, it actually looks a hell of a lot worse on you. Even the end part where you're talking about, you know, we can't be joking around and stuff like that. You know it's a joke. You don't have in there that it's a joke. You're not saying, you could say it's maybe I felt uncomfortable with the joke, right? But a joke is a joke. Not was then asked to pretend he had heard the statement being made by a suspect at which point, not mentioned that it's highly illegal. The counter statement was made, but you heard it from me, so technically you heard it. You didn't put all my jokes in there. I said some funny ass shit. You know that it's a joke and you didn't put it in there. That's lying by omission. Wait, wait, wait, wait. That is key to the integrity. That is key to the integrity of the LSPD, Brian Knight. Okay? Yeah. And if you don't put that it was a joke, which line, which you're going to have a higher end of it. The entire end of your statement, say that you didn't like it. Say I was not comfortable with these jokes. They were very not funny to me. And I was offended and put Brian Knight, Liberal Snowflake Police Department, number 195, because otherwise you're lying by omission. Oh, I mean, you're not, you're absolutely not wrong. I mean, listen, honestly, I think we should all get fucked for this. They're calling us something. In what meeting? Oh, shit. I mean, I don't think it's easy to get fired personally. This was serious. And he was told to change his report. This is serious matter. You're getting one down for this. No, no, no, I was told, I told him to finish his report and be honest in it. And I told him exactly what you told Johnson about integrity and the fact that I'm reprimanded for the Brian Knight situation. For one, I made a joke. Everybody, everybody, everybody. Why? Literally why? There is no, there is no, there is no. He shot a suspect. He shot a suspect. What do you mean? Somebody got shot. Once again, it comes out. Okay, well, sure. He got sure. Sure, he got sure. He got, yeah. Brian did. No, no, actually. Somebody, somebody. Brian just grew up. He shot somebody. Sure. The situation went from dealing with the. But, but why is he, why me? It's a joke. The problem, it wasn't a joke because there was charge being pressed. I was going to go to a bench. How is it a joke? If somebody's going to be found guilty of $60,000 of adoption fraud. No, that's not what happened. Brian Knight is a liar. I'm going to be honest with you. I lost a lot of respect for Brian Knight after that night. So you had no fault. You were, you were, you were perfect throughout the whole situation. You didn't say anything to Aziz at night at all. The only mistake I made was trying to lighten the mood amongst people that I respect and trying to make sure people are having a good time. I'm doing push-ups on the ground and Aziz is sitting on my back and we're joking about commission on a, on a citation in private. I'm going to lose my shit about that one. That is, that is completely undeserved. I'm going to take a step further. Most of my daps are completely undeserved. I didn't, I did not waive, I didn't, I did not waive and point my gun at a crowd. Okay, read my daps to me. Read my, read my daps and I will tell you which, go ahead. Okay, that would be my pleasure. No problem. December 18th, three daps. There was a hundred people there all the way. I did, I did not take my gun out and pointed at the crowd. I did not. You cuffed somebody who ran up on stage. Who ran up and they, they ran up on stage and ran towards a mayoral candidate. And you're a mayoral candidate at a time. You're a civilian, not a cop. Sure. If you're running from, right, so. But if somebody is going to get hurt and I'm there to protect people, I'm sorry, that is stupid as shit to, for me to sit there and, and let somebody else get hurt. Why let a situation escalate when I could stop it in its tracks right there? So why escalate with a gun? I didn't escalate with a gun. I went and tackled them and then I cuffed them. And that is it. I remember, I told Ruth, I don't remember doing that. But hell, maybe, probably. But I'm, I'm going to be honest. I did not do that shit. I've, I've, I've tried to think about that as hard as I can and I cannot remember ever pointing my gun at the crowd of civilians. In an act of integrity, I was honest and I said, I do not remember. However, what would Cleetus Corenwood do? Yeah. You didn't, you didn't remember. But now you're, I'm confused. Because I was just in the moment. I had just gotten back into town and I didn't realize I am incentivized to lie and be dis, be not genuine. Because for me to make a lot of a situation, I am reprimanded for that for 60 days. I'm going to be honest with you slacks. If you don't see that for what it is, maybe you are part of the problem. And I'm, I'm, I'm sorry. I've defended you tooth and nail in front of the mayor, in front of everybody else. And I said, the one person I don't blame this situation is you, because I think that you had the short end of the stick in this whole thing. But for you to come at me for some shit that I didn't do is, is horrible. I'm telling you exactly what I heard. And I'm telling you what happened. And I was there. It does not line up to what I have in front of me. It does not line up to it. You gotta be kidding me. Because, because, because, Brooke Ruth pointed a gun at my head. Three days ago. And said, if I ever speak out on her, she's going to kill me. I don't understand why you acting like this. I don't get it. Because you're taking bullshit that ain't true. And you're taking it as fact. I'm about to jump off. This, I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. You're not talking to a brick wall, but promise you, you're not taking accountability at all for what happened. Because there was, there's nothing to take accountability for. When have I not taken accountability for something slacks? I've always been completely honest in every situation. Knight was a little approachable to the report he made. He was asked, why would he do so? Giving the run for official potential dapps and consequences he might also receive. Knight made it, attempted to make it very clear that given his written situation, he must write a report with accuracy. And that all the offices within the rights can refute Knight's intervention of events. Explain to me that part. Explain to me the last paragraph I just read. I told you what happened. I told him, you need to be honest in your statement. And if you're, if you're lying about shit in your statement, saying shit that didn't happen, then there's major repercussions for that. He told us at the end of the night he was messing with us. He told me his call sign used to be 187, which is the number for murder because he would do shit to people. By the way, what's Brooke Ruth's call sign? 187. You dissecting call signs now? I'm not dissecting. I'm just looking at what's right in front of me. You wanted to prevent a failed PD after three years or however long it took years ago. You're about to get there in three months. Buddhist, I'm coming to you. I'm telling you what's going on as far as what have you decided on for this particular incident. You might not agree with it. Hell, you're being, I'll be honest, disrespectful. Because what about the way that you've handled that situation deserves respect? I'm sorry. Respect is not given. It's earned. And you're earning disrespect right now from me. I'll be honest. But I'm earning disrespect because I am telling you honestly that what Brian Knight is putting in a statement is wrong and that is not what happened. I still don't know what I did wrong that I actually did wrong in that situation. That's one incident. Okay. What about the second one? The one where you put a bullet in the guy's head in front of six officers. Yeah, what about it? Why'd you do it? I don't think you understand. I don't know if you ever will. Wake up. I need to bludgeon as well. I'm going to get medical down here, okay? Oh, do you feel like you need to get back in your feet? Let's go back and be sure, baby. Come on. Do you feel much better now? Yeah. The last thing I remember is that you're watching that. I don't know if you're okay. I heard you got some hunger pains. Did I? I don't know what happened. Hey there, looking at you. Look at that. He's much better now. Oh, hey. That's good. I'm so sorry. I miss you, mate. I'm... No meeting miss. I just want to show you guys something real quick. Okay. I'm showing you guys this as a courtesy. I've already submitted it to the Fed. I already have partial support. It's only a matter of time before I get full support. I look forward to working with you, gentlemen. I'm used to micromanaging my own shit show, and now apparently we got to micromanage yours too. No, you don't. No, no, no. That's a me thing. Well, there's plenty of people do that crane, so continue solid and not do that. Yeah, how's your guys' night going? I saw you guys up there on the roof. Parable. Because you forgot everything I talked about for the past few hours. You forgot? Or... Well... Oh, Cleveland. How is that my fault? I got all night, so let's go back and be sure Pity will read through it. Come on, let's go. Okay, okay. Hey, read that at your own leisure, gentlemen. We'll do it. I appreciate that. Thank you. Captain, understand that I'm not here to make you guys no longer autonomous, merely to give you the assistance you need. Yeah, I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about the future. That's all. All right, good. Love you. Slacks, I'm just playing with you. I'm going to drive this thing into a pump. You ready? In a video game? That's what I want to see. Let's do it. No, because... Sometimes you've got to let some steam off. It's fine. We'll go to one of the pumps that nobody uses. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, there's different kind of ways to release, you know, to de-stress. Regardless of what happens next, Cletus, this conversation, everything that we talked about, I do believe things can get better. I do believe that it starts with folks understanding that the reason why things are and the reason why we push for these things is because we want a police department that has a standard, that has, you know, respect, that cares about doing the right thing, not doubling down and just, you know, focusing on themselves, right? Yeah, no, I agree with you. I probably got 45 in the max. I am slowly losing consciousness. Okay, well, I'm losing confidence. Because I don't... I'm losing confidence. I don't see how you can't see the problems of Captain Ruth. I see the problems that I need to address and I see some of the issues in the complaints. Some of them are valid, some of them are not. But also... What is not valid? Shooting a suspect after he's been shot 25 times one more time. That's not a thing with Captain Ruth. I don't... But I'm not here for Captain Ruth though. I'm not here for you. Yeah, and I... Do you see Captain Ruth around here? No, you're here for me and I'm here for you and I'm here for everybody else. I'm here for the PD. That's what I'm saying. And I do appreciate that. And I do appreciate that. But I'm here for you, for what transpired as far as the two incidents that happened. Back to my point, I'm still mad at you. I am. Why? Because I trusted you to be responsible the weekend. I told I was gone. I said, Plutus, don't do anything stupid. Yeah, and what did I do? You did something that was very, very stupid. That almost made you lose your badge. You could be looking at potentially murder. That's how serious it was. But he wanted to die. There is no way in hell that the consequence matches. I'm getting one for something I didn't do, which has already happened multiple times. One for that incident and then five for the incident that happened. Five. Five. Five daps. I'll tell you. You want to tell me I shouldn't have shot him. I'll say, OK, fine. But you want to give me five daps for some bullshit that made no impact. The consequences have impacts, but the consequence has that. Sorry. The consequence has an impact. But impact of what you're doing to earn those consequences has to match. Right. And what is the impact of allowing to do something like that, letting it slide on the office in front of you, thinking that's OK. You're an FTO. You're supposed to be a role model. So why don't you just tell me not to do that? Because I've had those conversations with you, Fletus, right? And like, like spinning before, this is something we talked about, right? Shooting has always been an issue with you as far as, you know, firearm safety. And it's not the first time you've done something like that. If it is, then I would do what I did the first time, firearm training. Go through it again. Shoot the gun again. Things like that. I've done that with you, right? Five daps. Is that on a stack? We get, oh, we're going to stack on crime. We spend more time. We spend more time policing ourselves than we do police in damn city. And it's with shit like this. Because unfortunately, officers are having misconduct. Are. Yeah, they are. The misconduct is people trying to get other people in trouble and trying to hurt other people instead of trying to help each other and trying to, if there's an issue, talking it out and figuring it out man to man. That's the problem. Unseen. Nobody approached you and said, hey, Chris, what the hell are you doing? Duncan. I got more salmon saying other people approach you as well afterwards. Yeah, everybody's laughing. Duncan is the only one that I remember saying like, hey, it was a little overboard. You probably shouldn't have done that. But I remember other people laughing. You know, they said in the moment, hey, stop. And then afterwards they were laughing about it. Nobody should be laughing and celebrating the death of somebody. And the fact that we have an officer bleeding. I mean, Anders was bleeding on the ground from a stab wound. Right? Yeah. Andrew said. So why are we laughing about it? She looked. I don't understand. Because it was all it was all good afterwards. He was healthy. He was fine. He was healthy. That son of a bitch died because he wanted to die suicide by cop. But you forget the first part I said the reason why things escalated and the reason why I called his knife is because an officer shouted that and that made him turn around branch a knife and launch with that officer. So without all being said, that takes you to a total 10 down points, meaning that you'll be placed in indefinite suspension. Because it's something I didn't do. You can argue with that all day at the panel. Captain Ruth will be there. I'll be there. A few seniors will be there as well. Here. You know what I can do here? I can go ahead and have that meeting right now. Just like this. Oh, howdy. No, I did not do that thing that Brian not lied about in his report. I didn't. I told him. I'm tired of disrespect. I am. Okay. Well, I'm tired of disrespect too. I'm tired of the disrespect too. You all you do should disrespect. How? How? I am not disrespect. I am here. I am here today. I have made one comment. I have made one comment. Yes. What is it? What have I called you? It's your actions. Actions speak louder than words. Actions. I'm holding you accountable. That is not holding me. What is there to hold me accountable for for something I did not do? You didn't shoot that guy. Okay. I did not. I did shoot that guy. I shot that guy who I had every reason to believe he wanted to die. When you lunge at a police officer with a knife in front of 10 other police officers who have you at gunpoint. You want to die. And now I'm reprimanded for that by five points for one bullet. You're trying to simplify things. I'm not. You know what? I am. Why? Because Chief Justice Crane told me to and he said the whole damn problem with this PD is the fact that we don't simplify things to go from point A to point B. And that is it. That is the bottom line. Ten down points. I need your badge and gun. I did not do the brand not thing. And I think you know that I did not do that. You're giving me more reasons to spend you right now. Like talking like this. Because you're not. No, no, I'm treating you. I'm not treating you like some dad gum idiot. Monday. Well, how can I panel? 3 p.m. Look at everybody meet. We have every show up. I'm not going through the same bullshit what happened then. So we're not prolonging. You want to show up. There's a time to be there and you need to be there. I need you to be safe. I need you to care yourself and not place yourself in a more difficult position when you got there. I'm begging you. Okay. I'm saying this as a friend, as somebody who cares about you to take this seriously and to now allow this to spiral or to not place yourself in a position to where it might affect your job in the future. Please, Cletus, come back on Monday. We'll have a good talk and I'm sure we can move past this, but there's a lot needs to be talked about. And Monday, I believe it'll be there. We can get everything out. I have zero confidence. If I get dapped for this Brian Knight situation, I have zero confidence that it won't happen again. I also completely disagree with the fact that I'm getting five daps for one extra bullet. It was a forum. It was excessive. He was dead. And would you like a felony charge? Would you like a felony too as well? No. Badge and a gun, Cletus. I'm done. I'm going to bed. You're going off to it in Devon's suspension. Badge and a gun now. But I mean that is what... I'm done talking to you about that. I'm done. Badge and a gun. Make sure all your PD gears and your locker. You got to change. You're doing it wrong. Yeah, you're... Cletus, you're doing it wrong. You're proving the point to the wrong guy. One day, you will realize that. What? What you doing right now? Giving me the middle finger does not benefit anybody. It might make you feel good in a moment, right? But... But you got to admit you got to admit it was kind of funny. Yeah, thank you. To me, it makes me sad. You think I ain't sad? I've given this police department every single damn thing I've had for the last almost three months. Nobody doubts you have to do your police work. That's why this whole thing hurts me because I know the potential. I know how good you can be. But at the same time, we all make mistakes, right? Some are big, some are small. One is big, and only one is big. Dispatch 100, 1042. I got suspended. I'll see y'all later. Or... Thank you for your service, Cornwall. Shit. Here's that guy. What? Hey, yeah, I got suspended. I'm not gonna... You... Oh, my fucking god. Sorry. For tonight, we're looking through the PD script today of, like, series of events. Oh, yeah. Forte was just getting over his villain arc, and then... You enter stage life. You enter scene with you suspended, and now you're gonna tell us about what happened. It feels like a fucking movie right now, still what's going on. You know what? Take me to city council, or city hall. You know, I am a lawyer now, technically. Oh! So how you need to sell... If you need to sell, rip, let me know. Officers or criminals? Better call Cornwood. Who the fuck? This sounds like a chapter ending and a new one's starting tomorrow. Hopefully a short one. Hopefully a short one, but you know what? You're gonna make a great Texas Ranger one day. You know that? All right. Have a good one, brother. We'll see you later.
