Well, first of all, Dan, thank you for having me on your great show. You know I'm a big fan. I watch it every day. I've been, man, a civil rights lawyer for 40 years, and I've always believed that the Lord put me on this earth to sue police officers. And if I can leave your listeners with one thought, at least, it is, That police brutality has not gotten worse, man. It's just being televised.

When I was growing up, Gil Scott Heron of the Last Poets once said that the revolution would not be televised. But that was before the invention of cell phones. Trust me when I say this is a cultural revolution and it's live. Dan, there are so many George Floyds that weren't televised. I got a case that I call The Forgotten Man. Oro Nunez Sr. It's spelled N-U-N-I-S.

Stugatz, Oro was a 47-year-old Jamaican-American who was unarmed. And on March 13th, he stood 5 foot 4 inches tall. He weighed 145 pounds. Dan Oro Nunez was the husband and father of seven. Mr. Nunez was suffocated by the Chula Vista Police Department in San Diego County as they tried to detain him. Mr. Nunez had done nothing wrong. His daughter had called the police for help.

But you see, Dan, cops in small towns aren't often trained as well in cops in the big cities. Cops in small towns don't often get the cream of the crop in terms of police candidates. They get the leftovers, to be kind. But there was no video taping Oro Nunez Sr. when he got suffocated by five cops. Nobody is marching for Oro Nunez Sr.,

And if five trained cops could not detain an unarmed man who was five foot four without killing him, I say they don't deserve to be police officers. I have to explain to his wife, to one of his seven children, why nobody is marching for Oro Nunez Sr.,

Because George Floyd, separate from any other occasion that I had ever seen in my life, narrated his own death. Mama, they're hurting me. You guys are going to kill me. I can't breathe. He was narrating his own death. Dan, the man with his knee on his neck had his hand in his pocket. The fourth cop was standing within arm's reach and could have tapped him on the shoulder. Okay, okay, he's down.

We've got him. The fourth cop, the Asian cop, could have simply said, Dan, you see they are filming us right now. But that reflects a culture. He had 18 separate occasions when he was complained about and it got off. So there's a culture in Minneapolis. That culture is viewed because Omar Jimenez, a black reporter from my alma mater, Northwestern University, was arrested on the air.

The sound man said, guys, you do know that we are recording this, don't you? But there's a culture by the code of silence. Dan, the code of silence is the greatest impediment to reform in the police system nationwide. The code of silence is why cops don't report on other cops because it's dangerous out there. And a cop never knows when he's going to need someone to back him up.

So a cop would not dare say anything that would go against another cop because the next call, God forbid, that may go me. So that code of silence is at the essence of what is wrong in police departments across this country, not just in Minnesota, brother, not just in Miami.

No, I say no. I say no.

No, I say no. I say no.
