Joe, it's San Francisco.

The police are being held for ransom in the same room with me.

I'm looking at the police like pretty sure I'm being held against my will.

Pretty sure we call that kidnapping.

Isn't there something you can do to like alleviate what's going on here to deescalate and get me home safely?

No, actually, we can't.

We're not allowed to be seen as anything other than an ally to that community.

The same community who's on the other side of that door calling them racist pigs for protecting a white girl like me.

Say that again.

They're not allowed to be seen as anything other than an ally?

Right.

This is like a mandate from the police department.

So anything that involves anyone who's trans, you you have to automatically support regardless of whether or not that person is the aggressor.

Let me tell you, even is that fair to say?

Well, that's what was communicated to me even now where there is an ample amount.

of video footage of this happening there is audio evidence there are eyewitness testimonies again the police were in the room with me there's footage that i requested that they never sent me whether it was cctv footage or their body cam footage there's an ample amount of evidence to charge

Whoever is responsible, whether it's the students, whether it's the university, whether it's honestly the police department at this point, they have come back now and said that the charges are alleged.

There's nothing they can do.

There's no evidence to prosecute or press charges against anyone.

I'm looking at this.
