It seems like a violation of your Eighth Amendment rights to be, you know, kept from cruel and unusual punishment.

It seems like to me there's supposed to be a due process in which you go through and see a judge.

They present the evidence of your crimes and then you get a punishment that's under the penal code, a penal code that's already too excessive.

But I don't think the penal code even allows you to get shot 11 times in the fucking back.

While you're laying face down on the concrete because you busted a fucking tail light out.

Number four, and I find this to be the most interesting, and I want this to be the thing.

If you forgot everything else I said, don't forget this.

I keep repeating it.

I'm going to repeat it right now.

Everything that's happening right now is everything that we've allowed to happen to the black and brown and indigenous community for the last 100 years.

Every time somebody was shot or brutalized from the police, guess what we found out within a week?

That time when he was in seventh grade and he got a bad fucking score on his science test.

That time when he was in eighth grade and they found him with marijuana at school.

That time that he was 16 years old and might have been shoplifting.

It's always the smear campaign of the victim to justify the actions of the victimizers.

And this is what we've allowed this to happen to black and brown and visually people forever.

And now it's happening on a mass scale.

I'm going to continue to quote Malcolm X here.

The chickens.

Listen, keep in mind, Don, you just pointed out the standard of evidence in the court of law.
