My OODA loop was broken. all jacked up, and I was trying to yell that he had a gun, but I couldn't get past the initial traffic stop when I was like, man, I think he has a gun, he has to have a gun.

But my OODA loop was so messed up, I just kept yelling I think he has a gun instead of gun. I made a mistake. Nothing unlawful about what I did. I watched my body camera, I wrote a good report. I stated in my report that I thought he had a gun until I observed But they were trying to twist it around because that assistant chief wanted me out of that unit, James Nolet.

So he was pressuring of why I said I thought I had a gun and tried to make it seem like I was lying. I got so emotional. The gun was in the body cam footage, correct? Yes, and we had photos of the gun. The gun was put in evidence. The gun was taken with his DNA on it.

They have too much power because for them to be able to- How do the citizens combat this kind of shit? I don't know, man. I don't think enough give a shit, to be honest. I don't think they're aware. You're not aware if you don't attend the meetings and nobody attends those meetings.
