01:41 "A big part of that is in Thin Blue Line TV and we show the body cams. We have a team that digs and shows the reality of what a violent encounter looks in law enforcement, not just the ones that they cherry-pick that don't look great."
07:57 "You hear out there that unarmed black men are disproportionately shot by police officers. And the crime statistics, the FBI data that backs this, tells a different story."
09:05 "For a 13.4% population of blacks, 55.9% of all homicides were committed by blacks. Okay, so you're seeing 6 times the rate almost of blacks committing violence and murders than whites."
10:27 "91% of blacks murdered are killed by other blacks. Not the police. 91%."
18:18 "Electing the right sheriff or electing the right DA, electing the right people under school board so your kids can go to school, that is how you win. Electing the president is big, I understand that. National offices are big but the real change happens local."
