And I have a a theory of a of a mathematic that goes with it. Okay. Now, the police are the law of the land. But I've read a portion of the Constitution and felt and found out that there are Bill of Rights, A Bill of rights. I think that's the First Amendment of the Constitution. And in that Bill of Rights, I found something funny, but it's still the law of the land. It said it says, do not think your rights can can't be stripped, which means police have supreme authority within the community. You you rely on them as as well as anyone else does. So I would assume you respect them and they have to do a lot of decision making. So do not alarm the police because they would have to use police measures to keep themselves safe. And that would interpret do whatever they feel like is necessary. So if you can't interpret that the police demands respect, you can't demand respect from the president, the person that controls these people. So I think I know why police brutality is mathematically give. No, not saying I supported. I'm just saying I know why I, for one reason was falsely accused of an attempted robbery. And I understood that when the police handcuffed me, they they pinched my skin a little bit. Now, I'm not an unintelligent person. And I knew I said, Al, that that kind of hurt. But I can tell by the by the, um, the charge, they weren't caring at all, but they were, they were rummaging through my stuff. Um, he had me kind of he wasn't listening. And I said, Well, what's the problem? And I don't think the officer said, Shut up. But I think he was I think he got his point across to not say anything while were we're really searching, you know, I'm a very compliant guy, so I was surprised. Anyway, they were why they were approaching me. But they told me that someone picked you out and said you told them you pulled out a knife and said, give me your money. Why would Robin kill you? I said, No, I did not. But he continued to hold me a little bit aggressively. And then in the end he said, You're being you being arrested for four, four for attempted robbery. You have a right to have the right to remain silent. And then he handcuffed and pinched my skin like he didn't do it on accident. I mean, it was immediately understood that the police gave a message like the stereotypical punk, like a criminal in the street, like punk. Stick it to you. You commit a crime to my neighborhood, my community, and to me. I take offense to it Now, if you never had a superhero. Surprise, surprise, it's the police. So they pinch my skin. And what I can interpret it is that depending on what you do, like I see on television some extreme police beatings. Now, what I can interpret for you if you have if you've never been to jail. I was later, later acquitted, I believe you said LAPD rejected. Let me go like three days on. The prison is a horrible, horrible place. Not even for three days. You said it's here. I promise you in there. You may think. You may know you didn't do anything. It's what I talked to the judge. Everything will be okay. They keep it for two days, and then they let you go. Well, then you got to go to court. So you got to stay in prison. And then you, what they call it, jail unit's jail. Then local police stations. It's very deep. It's not shallow. They have undergrounds, maybe about three or four or five levels. They have they probably have above level to what you can see. But they have about three or four, five levels underground. And it's a big, big place, a local jail. Then they transferred to the big prisons, the men's detention center downtown behind the Dodger Stadium in the Twin Towers, behind Dodger Stadium. And there you see a judge. But I didn't see a judge. They threw out my case because I would no one showed up for court. I don't know why they did that to me anyway. But you'll see that they'll tell you. They don't tell you that they're sorry. But I understand that when I see on TV these cases of police brutality, I can interpret that what you did was a little bit aggressive. I think the police punish you. I think it's implemented into their training to induce these alleged criminals or the people that before they are charged and were convicted upon arrest. I'm saying to be punished. Interviews with a little bit of pain and beat up and it's like a little bit of stick it to you from from the society. But I still don't have a complaint about it. I just know that when you see these extreme forms of police brutality, it's probably assault and battery, or a person could be arrested because you can be charged with murder, attempted murder, another attempted robbery case, or not even attempted robbery, but robbery other for other crimes that you would that you would you would you would think aiding and abetting, fleeing from a police chase. Vandalism or destruction of property. Now, I said mathematically, because the higher the degree of the charge, I think the police put more brutality on you. Now, I'm not saying it's false. I'm saying do not commit a crime. I wouldn't think like if you were in a peaceful protest and the police came to arrest you, they wouldn't use so much brutality. Nowhere near an attempted robbery. I think if you got into a domestic dispute with your baby's mother. The stereotype is, why are you starting problems? And yes, they. I'm not a cop, so I don't know why I'm saying so mathematically. They will. But I can interpret. Yes, they will. With that attitude of grown men and women of having to come and break up this conflict, because if there wasn't a conflict, we wouldn't have to be here. Tried to be that big brother help guiding force, not light with you. And they would use extreme force. Now, yes, depending on the crime, I think they would use more force than in any any other situation. And I think that's the issue of police brutality. They they use as much force as as as you put into the crime or allegedly.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950#t=0.33,433.49"},{"id":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950/transcript/49342/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e So so so what do you think then, about that allegedly part?

If you didn't commit a crime but was accused of one, yes, the police are going to do something. Now, I said metaphysical is faith because you don't want to go to jail or something you didn't do. So you immediately ask God to not put you in the situation in which you feel that you wouldn't be able to get out of. You know, why is God doing this to me in which he wouldn't do that to you? Now, I can't say there's always a time where people get put in situations they can get out of. But like we say, our Pledge of Allegiance, one nation under God. The concept is relevant. And so, like I said, you have to have faith that you won't be convicted, not charged upon arrest. You're convicted. You're charged. They tell you you're being charged with murder, attempted robbery or such, etc.. It doesn't mean you will be convicted and sentenced to years in prison or weeks or any other thing. But you do have to have faith that nothing bad will happen to you, although the police is going to mathematically do this to you now, depending on the type of individual you are, I would assume that based on your fear of police. Anyway, I'm going to put out that I do have a fear of police. I have a fear of my mother. I have a fear of my father. My father is deceased. But that in the individual to not commit a crime in the first place because you're fearing, you're fearing of the authority figures. So I say the greater the fear in the individual, the greater the respect for the law individual is. And I believe if you have fear of the feedback of such a crime, you wouldn't give such a such a an act towards crime. And I believe the positive reinforcement is that nothing extremist will happen to you. Now, it is very unfortunate that you might go to prison and had to be presented with the police brutality in the first place. But it would be highly unfortunate if you were convicted, even even the police. You have bail and the police and even looking at you, look at you the same. Once your name is in the system, I think I think they can scan like you, like your license. They give you different codes where if you ever been in jail or not, they gave me a code and I have I have a code red with. That was the first time I've ever gotten arrested. And that was because of a fire violation. I, I, I was I put I was using a fire for my dog. It was a cold night. And I guess I'm animal friendly. So I was trying to keep my dog warm tonight, but the smoke was going to my neighbor's house. But I misunderstood my neighbors and I didn't put out the flames immediately. They said the flames are coming into my my daughter's room. I said, well, I'm just trying to I guess I should immediately disregarded the love of my pet, which, yes, I should have. And they called the police on me and they they handcuffed me. The police handcuffed me in any situation and they gave me a code red. I was like, What is that for? I still don't know. But they gave me different codes based on different things you've done your life. And that was the first time me being arrested. And don't I don't I don't know. I don't know if that was for. But depending on what you do, you, you, you, you have a fear of the law, like I said. And he wouldn't give so much resistance to what the police are trying to do in the first place. The grand scheme of capital. You wouldn't deny developmental economics to international economics, and I guess you will. You'll be getting what I mathematically call biofeedback. Now, biofeedback is a synonym for positive reinforcement, meaning you do good, good things that happen to you. You do bad, bad things that happen to you. It's one of those basic concepts of of of psychology. If you ever take a psychology one on one, the first class they tell you about positive and negative reinforcement. You don't reward somebody for doing something bad. That's called negative reinforcement. Your work rewards one for doing bad. So I had a fear of of of of the law, not the law. I love the law. I have a fear of disrespecting the law because I know that something bad will happen to me about disrespecting it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950#t=461.39,740.11"},{"id":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950/transcript/49342/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e And can I ask the question about that?

Like I wrote, I read the Constitution. Well, a part of it. And it said, don't think your rights can be stripped. Now, I've seen police brutality before. I understood what it was from my own experience. And since I was a kid. You have that that that cartoon on TV where you can't fight city hall. And I never tried to. I've never tried to overthrow the government. I will never try to. They have. Steps for that where you can run for president, not overthrow the government. And I have respect for the government. So I wouldn't I wouldn't try to make myself a rebellious citizen. And I do respect the police. But I don't deny that they're extremely powerful. You can see they advertise to television. Some kids think it's cool. Like the Populist Manifesto. They get involved in the powerful things in life, like being a cop. There's different types of cops. There's Marines, There's armies. And some of these different categories are marketed to be more powerful than others. Yeah, the Coast Guard, Air Force and Army. Navy. I like I like the Marines. I try to be Marine. I like yeah, they have the police. They have the fire departments. They do, but they do. They do hard job. You always want to be a harder person, harder individual. And and you see the police training on TV. You see them in gun training. Everyone knows what a gun is. You know, we all have the rights, the right life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and the right to bear arms. Everyone knows what a gun is, you know? Am I afraid of a gun? Yes. There's even old sayings like there's there's generally accepted accounting principles in accounting subjects or in the subject of accounting. There's something called generally accepted accounting principles. But I was surprised to find out that these generally accepted accounting principles are sometimes old things. So it totally takes a mind to a totally different area. And there's the one that's called Just In Time. Now I say what I learned that I said, Well, these are generally accepted accounting principles, sounds like old sayings. So I guess there's something called puns and means that you should forget the old things that were said to you. Like, I don't I don't necessarily want to put too much into it, but if I had to sit down and dialect dialectically a lot of size in that essay for, say, ten pages, I can do that. But I'd have to give you a entertainment essay on on when your hand is itching, you might get some money, something like that. So the gentleman I want to formally call it, the generally accepted accounting principles do not take a knife to a gunfight because one of those things is strongly enough in the other. So I'm. I'm afraid of guns. That's what I'm saying. And police have them. Not everyone can hold guns. I think in the 1950s was the last time you were you was able to carry a gun on the street out because of the I think it's a 66 year civil war, you know.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950#t=751.41,939.44"},{"id":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950/transcript/49342/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e Well, it was basically in California, the gun laws changed to because of the Black Panthers.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950#t=940.25,947.54"},{"id":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1734/collection_resources/56790/file/130950/transcript/49342/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 1:\u003c/strong\u003e Basically carrying guns in the street.
