 what's up you guys sit down and welcome back to my channel so i wanted to come on here i was really excited because we hit 30 000 subscribers over this past week and i was happy about that it was a great accomplishment on youtube um but i couldn't really just address that because it felt like almost in poor taste with what's going on in our nation currently so obviously i i mean if you haven't heard uh there was a situation on monday prosecutors say officer derrick shavin had his knee on george floyd's neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds including two minutes and 53 seconds after floyd had become unresponsive where a gentleman was killed while in police custody and so it's all over the news and i had heard about that while i was at work on monday but just last night was really the only opportunity that i had to actually look at the news and just kind of see what was going on so i knew there were riots and protests happening in minnesota the third precinct police building where the four fired officers work was at the center of the anger but i did not know that this was a nationwide thing um and so i got the opportunity to look at the news and see what was happening in philly and in dc you know right in my my backyard i guess you could say um in miami and la and you guys like it's really crazy what is happening um obviously i know that people are hurting and there there needs to be some type of change right and and that's what most people are going after the change of how things are done how people are taking into police custody all of that you know just understanding like what the the climate is between police um and african americans and people of color and and how to address those situations in a very productive way but at the same time what kind of really saddened me was the fact that in the state that we're in with this whole coronavirus situation that's happening that people are resulting to doing criminal things thursday we went to kb ballas restaurant looters had broken windows and even tried to steal his safe while he was there today he watched as his life savings and dreams literally went up in smoke the time i ain't gonna put into it that's where it hurts a lot that that was your dream oh definitely and now it's up in flames obviously yes something extremely bad happened this man lost his life let's come together um as a community and kind of foster this change but then there are those who are opportunistic and parasitic and you guys are seeing this situation happening and rather than trying to be an agent of change you all are out there looting and stealing and destroying property and there are so many people that own these like small businesses and these businesses in general that are hurting right now because of coronavirus and you all are taking this serious serious extremely serious situation that happened on monday as an opportunity for you all to line your pockets and you know better your situation and i understand that there are people that are hurting out there like you don't have but at the same time let's use let's let's pick our battles right so this is the situation that needs to be addressed right now so let's address that let's do that in a productive way so i just kind of wanted to put that out there you guys because honestly like it's it's ridiculous what's happening um i do i am like extremely happy about what is happening in terms of people of all various different colors and and races and creeds coming together i'm here to bring awareness about police brutality i'm tired we're all tired we just want justice you know as a black man you understand you know the treatment that uh you know anytime you walk your house you've got an opportunity to be charged or harassed by police no matter where you are in the united states freedom for everyone equally not just people with a certain skin color or a certain birthplace or a certain country they're from freedom is for everyone you're seeing people like a lot of african-american people get arrested and stuff for nothing get shot for nothing and don't get help people were just not doing anything and that felt wrong you guys just want you guys to stay safe out there um kind of just do your research figure out what's going on in the world in the country um and you know see where you stand and see how you can be an agent of change as well
