WEBVTT 00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.609 an actor who has gotten a lot of attention this 00:00:09.609 --> 00:00:11.150 year. Um, he should get a lot of 00:00:11.150 --> 00:00:13.349 attention. Kendrick Sampson, that is, uh, 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.710 for his acting. Loved him in Insecure has been 00:00:15.710 --> 00:00:16.960 in a lot of other things, but he's got 00:00:16.969 --> 00:00:20.070 a lot of attention this year because he's been very 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.410 active as an activist. We've seen him in a 00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:24.260 lot of black lives. Matter. Marches here in 00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:26.660 l. A. But he is in Colombia right 00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:28.440 now. I'm not sure if he's on vacation or 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.140 if he's shooting something. But he says that he 00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:34.780 is the victim of police brutality down there. And 00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:37.520 actually, he's got some video evidence to back this 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.969 claim up. Says he was held by police in 00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:43.969 Cartagena for 10 hours after this incident, which we're 00:00:43.969 --> 00:00:47.140 about to see. Um, a police officer very 00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.170 clearly punches him and even pulls his weapon on him. 00:00:50.179 --> 00:01:05.730 Watch. Yeah, 00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:18.849 Charles, do we know why they stopped him? 00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:23.989 So what? Kendrick says that this stopping policy 00:01:23.989 --> 00:01:26.680 is a normal thing. And what he and other 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.430 people in Colombia claimed is that, uh, black 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.269 people darker Colombians, whether you're on American visiting or 00:01:33.269 --> 00:01:36.250 darker Colombians, uh, this happens all the time, 00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:37.840 and he said he was stopped. This was 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.560 his sixth encounter with police in five days on this 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.890 particular one after the punch. After you see the 00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:46.900 gun being pulled, they put him in handcuffs and 00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:50.019 took him into custody. He says for 10 hours 00:01:50.019 --> 00:01:51.900 before they let him go. For what? For 00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.790 what For what For what? Hey, didn't say 00:01:54.790 --> 00:01:57.099 And I don't know that they said, um, 00:01:57.109 --> 00:01:58.909 Charles E. I mean, they need to answer 00:01:58.909 --> 00:02:01.849 that question. I look, I'm very much pro 00:02:01.849 --> 00:02:04.849 police much of the time. Police cannot be punching. 00:02:04.849 --> 00:02:07.260 People cannot be drawing their weapons on people. 00:02:07.269 --> 00:02:10.310 If that person is cooperating and is not posing a 00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:12.530 threat to the cops themselves or to the public, 00:02:12.530 --> 00:02:14.930 you just you can't do it. The police need 00:02:14.930 --> 00:02:18.129 to explain why the stop happened, why they struck 00:02:18.129 --> 00:02:19.639 him and why they pulled their guns on them. 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.169 And if they can't give a a explanation that makes 00:02:23.169 --> 00:02:25.659 sense, they should be fired. May be prosecuted 00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:28.340 too, because that's a crime. If me or 00:02:28.349 --> 00:02:29.979 Charles Harvey, you did that to a cop, 00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:32.879 we're going to jail. So they But you are 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.669 using American standards. Yeah, country. And it 00:02:36.669 --> 00:02:38.719 doesn't work that way always. And what I'm thinking 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.270 about is is he's still there because if he's posted 00:02:42.270 --> 00:02:46.110 this challenging them, I'm worried for him, right? 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.169 No. If he is still there and the 00:02:48.169 --> 00:02:52.009 video was posted on Tuesday, it's unclear exactly when 00:02:52.009 --> 00:02:54.310 this happened or we don't know where Kendrick is at 00:02:54.310 --> 00:02:56.800 this moment. But he reposted the video, someone 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.919 who shot it from across the street, uh, 00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:01.539 initially posted it, and then he reposted it, 00:03:01.550 --> 00:03:03.889 you know, And what I don't get is he 00:03:03.889 --> 00:03:05.569 And I'm not sure the person who's there. I 00:03:05.569 --> 00:03:06.949 don't know if that's a friend of his, but 00:03:06.939 --> 00:03:11.490 they certainly seem to be cooperating fully and for an 00:03:11.490 --> 00:03:13.659 officer to pull a weapon and not just pull a 00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:17.169 weapon. But you seem cock it when you hear 00:03:17.169 --> 00:03:19.310 that gun cock. The first of the next thing 00:03:19.310 --> 00:03:21.689 you think is I'm about to be shot, right, 00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:26.719 and clearly has no idea why. So this 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.099 is a very scary, scary situation and you know, 00:03:30.110 --> 00:03:32.330 it's awful. And it just, you know, 00:03:32.330 --> 00:03:36.069 and you know, we have been appropriately hand 00:03:36.069 --> 00:03:39.219 wringing here in the United States over the mistreatment you 00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:42.030 know, of minorities and God, You look at 00:03:42.030 --> 00:03:44.560 what's going on elsewhere, and you realize this is 00:03:44.569 --> 00:03:46.939 all over the world. Hello, everyone. I 00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:49.189 am Ari. Lt's in Lawrenceville, Georgia. And 00:03:49.189 --> 00:03:51.000 you know it's crazy. I remember there was a 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.050 time when we used to tell our Children You see 00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:54.900 a police officer way, they're going to keep you 00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:57.050 safe. And now we live in a time where 00:03:57.050 --> 00:03:59.169 you see police and it's like you feel fear. 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.560 You don't know if you're going to get killed If 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.960 you're gonna be jumped on, you know, abuse. 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.580 You just don't know. And I really think 00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:07.280 that now is the time for some type of, 00:04:07.289 --> 00:04:09.659 uh, you know, police officer reform. Like 00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:12.520 something they need training to not just treat people the 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.599 way that they are, like we don't deserve respect 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.500 in the world and reality. We all deserve some 00:04:18.500 --> 00:04:20.500 type of respect and the way that they were filling 00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:23.600 him up and cocking the gun back and pointing out 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.170 a person like why, and looking at the video, 00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:29.009 you saw no cause like no reason for all 00:04:29.009 --> 00:04:30.819 of that, like, that's just it's crazy. 00:04:30.819 --> 00:04:32.920 But the sad part is that's the life that we're 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.600 living every day now and it's really sad. And, 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.870 you know, I will say that when you 00:04:37.870 --> 00:04:40.509 look at this, it sure doesn't feel like this 00:04:40.509 --> 00:04:42.220 is a one off. It feels like this is 00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:44.990 standard operating procedure just the way they were so casual 00:04:44.990 --> 00:04:45.970 about it.
