And like I tell him all the time, I said, Raymond, a lot of people are trying to attach themselves to you. Your story is only unique to you. And I said, people cannot help you. Because they don't know what you're going through. A lot of people, they criticize them. Oh, you've been going through this for so long. And I always told them, I said, Raymond, it's your life.
And you have to fight for your life. And when you feel you was wronged and you feel like you need to get yourself vindicated in your family, then you fight for your life. It doesn't matter what the next person say. And I said, think about this, Raymond. Think about the journey that God has put you on. You became an author of a book. You ran for public office. You got your degree.
You became a part of eternity. You've been on all different types of podcasts. You do a backpack drive every year in the community. I said, look at all the things because of what happened to you. Look at all the great things that God continuously blessing you with.
And I said, and as long as you understand that it's all a blessing and because your story is so unique, you're able to share that story with so many And I told him this just the other day when I spoke to him. I said, Raymond, I said, think about this. You got a guy out there, a young lady out there, that has probably gone through something similar like you have.
And because they heard your story, it gives them hope. It gives them direction. Because a lot of people don't know which way to go or which way to turn in order to put themselves in a position to even start the fight. That's right. So think about the reason you went through what you went through. And maybe God said that reason, it really wasn't for you.
It was for you to help someone else, a lot of someone else. Because I'm going to take care of you. I'm going to make sure you're fine. But I need you to go through this so you can help a lot of people. Because a lot of people go through a lot of things in law enforcement. Law enforcement is a job that you can go to work today on top of the world.
And by 3 o'clock this afternoon, the world can be on top of you. And it probably has nothing to do with anything you did. You just could have been present. You could have just been in the area. And now you're fighting for your job. You know what I mean? And that's what happens. That can happen. And just like with Raymond, this man basically was fighting for his life.
And so as a friend, and somebody who tried to be a person that he could come to for For for I don't use the word comfort but come to somebody for guidance and some correction and understanding because let me tell you something I tell Raymond a lot of things he don't want to hear because I myself a big brother to him That's it. I consider myself a friend. I'm not I'm not a yes, man.
I've never been there so and I've always lived my life man, I'm gonna tell you what's on my mind and sometimes I I shouldn't. But for me, if I'm your brother, man, it's all gas, no brake. I'm going to tell you just what I'm thinking. You're going to get it. Even if it hurts. And even if you don't speak to me for a week, you know what? I'm still okay. Because you're going to come back to me.
That's it. I told you what was right. That's all.
I would tell anybody, never change who you are. Never compromise your values. And if something is wrong, just know it's wrong. Nobody can tell you it's right when you know it's wrong. And don't fall into what is wrong when you know what is right. I would tell any person that because it all starts with your character.
Because at the end of the day, that's all people can judge you on is your character. Nothing else. It's your character. I love that.
Yes, same here. And thank you for the opportunity. And like I told you earlier off mic, I really appreciate the work that you do. The podcast is something that I think will reach many and I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to speak.
