Why are Nolan Wells' friends speaking to Officer Brandon Tatum instead of mainstream journalists?
so when you talk about all the things that have been spread there is this officer i hate mentioning his name a former officer who is a far right wing who's been doing the interviews and has been saying go ahead yeah i'm not even going to comment on um brandon tatum no i respect that and those that's the right answer for everybody i believe and i feel like you know because i mentioned him i'm like why did i even mention him because he doesn't deserve uh a platform no he does not So let's talk about the people, the young men that he's been interviewing, they're saying they're his best friends. Some of them you said that you don't know. One of them even said, oh, Nolan would be outraged by the way his parents are handling this.
And I'm like, wait, what? Like why on earth would somebody go on and say that about a grieving family?
Again, distraction. We're not even going to address them or that man. We only want the truth. Again, at the end of the day, I'm going to say it like I've been saying it. The only question we have is what happened to Nolan. That's what we need to know. That's it. That's all.
So let me just discuss, because I usually don't, I didn't really know this person. And just before the thing, I wasn't even going to address it, but someone said that he dropped something about me, like threatening something. I don't know what the hell he's talking about. I don't even know who this dude is. I met him at a conference. We were in a room together, and it was just bizarre. So he's talking about something I don't even know. I looked at the beginning of it, and I said, this shit doesn't even make sense. I don't know what he's talking about. And I choose to spend my time wisely and to keep my peace. And so, but sometimes things just fall right into your lap.
What did Nolan Wells' mother say about the interviews and public distractions?
And I don't even have to do it. The Lord works in mysterious ways. So whatever that nonsense that, what's his name? What do they call him? His nickname, Race Batum Tatum. Whatever he's talking about, I don't give a shit. I don't give a fuck what you think about me because I don't think anything about you. I don't even know who you are. I didn't know who you were until they said, are you okay with this? And I was like, sure. And then I looked, I was like, oh, this dude, I've never seen him, but wow. So I don't even know who you are. And so what I'm going to let my friend, by the way, who I'm going on tour with, Dio Hugli, speak out. For not only me, but for a whole lot of people. I don't even have to do the work.
Sometimes you just don't have to do shit. So I will let DL Hughley, and this is, unless there's something really offensive, I don't even know if I'm gonna respond to whatever, to that, because I believe you don't even, sometimes you shouldn't even speak people's names. You don't cast your pearls before swine. But I'll let DL do the work in regards to race baton Tatum. Hello, friend DL Hughley.
This is Brandon Tatum. Y'all just see what unfunny ex-comedian DL Hughley just said about me. Posted a picture of me and my wife. To do what? To be a racist?
Who is Officer Brandon Tatum and why is he labeled a 'race baiter'?
You are the lamest dude in all of comedy.
What is more lame than calling yourself the job you used to have? You're not an officer anymore. You were a football player who failed at being a football player. You didn't make the team, so you became an officer. That wasn't working out, so you became an influencer. You talked about emotion. What is more emotional than this? The word.
You cried for a white dude. who didn't even, the people didn't even think you worthy to speak at his funeral. You said you wouldn't cry for your son, but you cried for him. That's not emotion. You talked at the way Benjamin Crump talks.
Just want to blame white folks. And so I go out there because I know that lame Al Sharpton and Mr. I can't read Benjamin Crump is just race hustling y'all.
You talked about how those boys are innocent and you had proof. Now, I don't know whether they're innocent or not. I don't know what happened there. But I know one conversation with a failed football player and a social media influencer is not the predicate.
