what we found out versus what we were told in the beginning. So that's the painful piece in my family.

So the family has not completely healed, and I think it's still going to take some time.

I want people to be able to pick up this baton, and again, not just looking at Tyreek Riley or Ishmael or Jamal or all of the other people that have lost their lives, to join in this fight to make sure people are protected and safely getting to court, safely being able to serve their sentence and get out.

People are excited. Of course, you know, you have the machine at work. They can see me coming like a Justin Douglas. You know, I'm not a part of the status quo. I am not owned. I am not bought.

If you fix something, you come into a space and you make it better than it was before you got there, then move on to do something else. You know, I actually get to get into a position similar to Commissioner Douglas to actually have real effect.
