The Matt Walsh Show – Ep. 1817

Why These INSANE Police Bodycam Videos Are Getting More Views Than The Nightly News
Date: August 5, 2026
Host: Matt Walsh

---

Overview

In this episode, Matt Walsh offers a fiercely unfiltered critique of recent cultural and legal controversies around police use of force, viral bodycam videos, and media narratives. He zeroes in on why raw police bodycam footage is drawing more public trust and attention than legacy news outlets, using high-profile legal cases and viral content as illustrations. The episode covers the Aurora, Colorado police shooting, the Rashawn Knight incident in Jacksonville, biases in news and activism, systemic changes in law enforcement accountability, the explosion of “bodycam channels” on YouTube, and attempts to suppress access to police video records.

Major Discussion Points & Insights

1. Aurora, Colorado: The Rajan Belt Stubblefield Case

• Incident Recap & Bodycam Audio (00:00–02:56)

  • Stubblefield, drunk, led police on a high-speed chase, crashed, exited with a handgun (which he tossed aside), and squared up to fight the officer before being shot dead.
  • Audio highlights the officer’s repeated lawful commands and Stubblefield’s taunts:

    “You ready for this?” (01:35, 02:42 – Stubblefield taunting)

• Matt’s Take on Use of Force

  • “There’s no way to spin it any other way. This was a fully justified shooting, obviously.” (02:56 – Narrator/Commentator 2)
  • Stubblefield is described as escalating the situation at every opportunity, and the host argues self-defense was the only rational police option.
  • “You have no choice but to neutralize this threat.” (05:50 – Narrator/Commentator 1)

• The Indictment of Officer Matthew Neely (07:04–08:11)

  • Officer Neely was indicted for second-degree murder and manslaughter despite video evidence, according to Walsh, showing clear justification.
  • “The right of self-defense is no longer afforded to police officers or to white people in general.” (07:14 – Narrator/Commentator 2)

• Media Coverage: Family Interviews vs. Facts (08:04–14:19)

  • The host mocks local news for focusing on Stubblefield’s family and portraying him as a “great father,” while downplaying facts of the incident.
  • “Nothing says great father like driving drunk, armed with blood alcohol three times the legal limit, and then trying to fight the cops.” (08:11 – Narrator/Commentator 1)
  • Criticism of media for “puff pieces” and failing to provide the officer’s perspective.

---

2. Critique of Prosecutorial Practice & Systemic Trends

• DA Amy Padden’s Indictment Strategy (15:52–19:47)

  • Walsh lambasts the DA for “anarcho-tyranny”—prosecuting police and whites, letting “black criminals out of prison.”
  • Direct accusation of lying to grand jury; attributes indictment to political motives not evidence.
  • “Patton’s gambit is to say whatever she needs to say to get this white male police officer in front of a Colorado jury.” (18:30 – Narrator/Commentator 1)

• Legal Technicalities and After-the-fact Judgments

  • Argues it’s absurd to blame officers for not giving more warnings or not informing Stubblefield of arrest.
  • “What part of ‘get on the ground’ is confusing?” (24:27 – Narrator/Commentator 1)

---

3. Media and Activist Narratives on Police & Race

• Ignoring/Distorting Video Evidence
  • Activists and family members are accused of lying, wanting to provoke unrest, or seeking payout lawsuits.
  • “People are capable of surprising. I suppose. That has nothing to do either way with this case.” (14:17 – Narrator/Commentator 2)
  • The narrative that black suspects were innocently “going for a walk” or only “jaywalking” is heavily mocked as mythmaking.

---

4. Case Study: Rashawn Knight, Jacksonville, FL (31:58–46:13)

• Media Narrative

  • Reports claim a 14-year-old was stopped for jaywalking, “mauled” by police dogs, and racially abused.

• Contrary Account (with Bodycam Evidence)

  • Actual police bodycam shows the kids were caught burglarizing cars, armed, fled, and were bitten by a K9 during arrest.
  • The host emphasizes the discrepancy between activist/press accounts and video reality.

• Accountability & Parental Responsibility

  • Rhetorically calls for arresting the mother and father for the teen’s participation in crime, referencing racial double standards:

    “If white parents are liable for the crimes of their children, then black parents should be liable as well.” (45:25 – Narrator/Commentator 2)

---

5. The Explosion of Viral Police Bodycam Videos and Pushback

• Authenticity Beloved vs. Sanitized TV Cop Shows (50:43–54:47)

  • YouTube channels (e.g., Midwest Safety, Police Activity) have become popular for posting raw bodycam footage, with viewers seeking “the reality of living in major American cities.”
  • Quoting John Langley (“Cops” co-creator), who admits show’s deliberate overrepresentation of white suspects to avoid reinforcing “negative stereotypes”:

    “On cops, we reverse that. We showed 60 to 70% white suspects and 30 to 35% people of color. Now why do I do that? Because I don’t want to contribute to negative stereotyping.” (53:03–53:14)

  • Walsh takes this as proof of entrenched media bias and contrasts with bodycam videos’ supposed lack of agenda.

• Why Bodycam Videos Threaten the Narrative

  • “Body cams are fatal to every single one of their narratives.” (60:39 – Narrator/Commentator 1)
  • Allegations that left-wing activists want to ban, restrict, or make bodycam access prohibitively expensive as a defense mechanism.

---

6. Political and Legislative Attacks on Bodycam Transparency (54:53–57:24)

• Rising Fees and Legislative Barriers
  • Local governments are charging high fees (e.g., $75/hr, up to $750 per video in Yellow Springs, OH) for footage, or denying access unless requesters are from “credentialed” outlets.
• Bills & Policies to Limit Access (Illinois Example)
  • Six state bills in 2025 sought to restrict public/private access to bodycam videos, reduce camera requirements, or narrow eligibility for footage requests.

---

7. Broader Societal Commentary

• Cultural/Ethnic Dynamics and DEI Criticism (46:23–49:53)

  • Host highlights alleged “DEI hires” and perceived lack of accountability, citing the Mount Vernon, NY incident where a police commissioner allegedly acted as a gang getaway driver alongside her family.
  • “DEI hires who should not be influencing anything of importance should are increasingly ending up in positions of power despite their manifest incompetence and complete lack of moral character.” (49:40–49:47)

• Resilience of Police under Attack

  • Expresses admiration for police willing to do the job under current cultural and legal pressures.

    “There is no amount of money that would ever make me take this job at this point… and you’re risking your life to protect these communities who hate you.” (41:50 – Narrator/Commentator 1)

---

Notable Quotes & Moments with Timestamps

• On the Aurora incident:

  “You have no choice but to neutralize this threat. Now, you also have to wonder how Stubblefield must act towards other people in his life if this is how he acts towards an armed police officer.” (05:50–06:01)

• On media’s coverage of criminals:

  “Nothing says great father like driving drunk, armed with blood alcohol three times the legal limit, and then trying to fight the cops.” (08:11)

• On grand jury indictments:

  “Patton’s gambit is to say whatever she needs to say to get this white male police officer in front of a Colorado jury…” (18:30)

• Mocking protestor narratives:

  “This seven year old black child was exploded by a bazooka all because he was trying to feed an orphaned puppy. Let’s get into it.” (34:25)

• On policing as a career now:

  “There is no amount of money that would ever make me take this job at this point.” (41:50)

• On bodycam footage smashing narratives:

  “Body cams stand in their way… They are fatal to every single one of their narratives.” (60:39)

• On legislative suppression:

  “Politicians are going out of their way to suppress access to body cam footage precisely because they understand that it is devastating for the fake narratives they want to push.” (57:24)

Conclusion

Matt Walsh concludes by warning that as bodycam videos increasingly undermine mainstream narratives about race and policing, there will be escalating efforts—legal, political, and cultural—to suppress them. He frames this conflict as pivotal for public knowledge and civic transparency, closes with a call for vigilance, and asserts the right of Americans to confront uncomfortable truths about crime, policing, and media.

---

For listeners and non-listeners alike: This episode provides a combative, unapologetically partisan perspective on policing, media, and public controversy, relying heavily on bodycam video as a weapon against legacy news narratives and activist mythologies.

Transcript

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

A year ago in aurora, Colorado, a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

37 year old black man named Rajan Belt Stubblefield was driving drunk in his Jeep with a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit. And when an officer attempted to pull

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

him over, Stubblefield drove away at a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

high rate of speed and eventually rear ended a car before flying over the median into oncoming traffic and hitting another car. At that point, Stubblefield exited his Jeep with a handgun, which he immediately threw towards the grass nearby. And then, as the officer attempted to arrest Stubblefield, he fell to the pavement. Now, after regaining his balance, the officer drew his weapon and ordered Stubblefield to the ground. Instead of complying, Stubblefield squared up to fight. Stubblefield also walked towards the officer in a threatening manner, backing him into traffic while doing so. Stubblefield told his son who was nearby to retrieve the firearm from the grass. He also repeatedly taunted the officer, saying,

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

you ready for this?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Another pretty unmistakable signal that he was about to attack.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And finally, a Stubblefield rushed to close

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the distance with the officer. The officer responded by shooting him. Stubblefield was hit three times and died immediately.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Now, there is no dispute about any of these facts.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The entire incident was captured on the officer's body cam as well as other cameras nearby. And we'll show that to you right now. Here it is.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Stay in the car. Don't move. Don't move.

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

Motor 45, I've got a crash six just east of 225.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Get a couple times.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Stay in the gift. Give me your hands.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Show me your hands.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get your hands up, dude. Get your hands up right now. Get your hands up. Get on the ground. Get away from that mother gun. Get on the ground now. Get that. Get on the ground now. Get that.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

Get that. Get that. Get that.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get that.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

No, that.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get that.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

Officer, chill. Get that.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get on the ground. Get that.

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

Get that.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get on the ground.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

Yeah. So are you ready for this? You ready for this?

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get on the ground.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

You ready for this? You ready for this, huh? You ready for this, huh?

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get on the ground.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

Ready for this?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Well, so there you go. There's no way to spin it any other way. This was a fully justified shooting, obviously.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Stubblefield clearly posed an imminent threat of

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

serious bodily injury or death of the officer. He received brutal, multiple warnings and lawful commands.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

He ignored every single one of them. Instead, he charged towards a police officer with his fist clenched that, that he had already thrown to the ground after

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

already endangering the public by colliding into multiple vehicles while driving drunk.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

This is yet another example out of

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

countless others of a Suspect very often a black male who did literally every

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

single thing in his power, every step of the way, to escalate an interaction with a police officer in.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Into a deadly confrontation.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Okay, this was someone absolutely determined to turn what could have been a comparatively

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

minor DUI charge, if you can call

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

such a thing minor, into a life or death struggle. And the thing about a life or death struggle with police is that you will always lose 100% of the time, one way or another, you will lose. Now, the f. The fact that the

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

cop was armed while Stubblefield was unarmed at that particular moment doesn't change the fact that Stubblefield posed an imminent threat to the officer's life. A gun isn't useful anymore if somebody jumps on you and beats you and takes it.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And very clearly, that's what Stubblefield was trying to do to this officer. All of his actions pointed in that direction. Okay, when. When you're going fist clench to attack somebody who's pointing a gun at you, what is your intention? There could only be one intention, which is this is someone who wants to, you know, that you want to disarm the person.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Now, there's a reason he told his kid also to grab his gun. There's a reason he told the officer to get ready for a beat down. Same reason he drove drunk and crashed into multiple vehicles. He was drunk out of his mind, had no regard for his life or the life of anybody else.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And in this scenario, when the guy lunges towards you, even though he knows you have a gun, you have to assume that he's going to try to kill you, and you have every right to respond accordingly, police officer or not. What's the other option? What is the other. The other option is that is to just allow this to turn into hand to hand combat over the gun. So in that situation, the cop has two choices. Either shoot the guy or engage in hand to hand combat over the gun with the guy. Does any reasonable person think that it's

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the officer's obligation to choose the latter?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Does anyone think that that's. When you're out in public with other people around, Is that the most responsible thing?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Is that, Is that, is that the.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Is that the most ethical thing, the most moral thing?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Obviously not.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

For the. For your sake and the sake of everybody around you and the public, you have no choice but to neutralize this threat. Now, you also have to wonder how

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Stubblefield must act towards other people in his life if this is how he acts towards an armed police officer pointing a gun at his chest.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Okay, this is Very clearly a volatile, unhinged human being. We see this kind of thing so

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

often that we become inevitably desensitized to it. But it's worth pausing to reflect on this fact a little bit.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Stubblefield was charging towards an officer, an armed officer with a gun pointed at him. Okay. The level of suicidal rage and aggression and violence necessary to do something like that, to completely override what should be just like your base level self preservation instinct, is hard to comprehend. Again, just imagine how this man must behave towards people who are weaker than him and defenseless. If that's how he'll treat you when

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

you have a gun pointed at him,

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

then what would he do if you

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

didn't have a gun? So this was a dangerous man. And now he's dead, and that's entirely his fault. End of story.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Or at least it should be. But in Aurora, Colorado, a city that's

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

allowed entire apartment buildings to be taken over by Venezuelan terrorist organizations, the right

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

of self defense is no longer afforded

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

to police officers or to white people in general.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And therefore, as incredible as it may

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

be, the police officer involved in this shooting, his name is Matthew Neely, has

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

just been indicted by a grand jury

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

on charges of second degree murder and reckless manslaughter.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Yes, for. For shooting a violent drunk criminal who is charging towards him and threatening to beat him. Officer Neely is now facing the prospect

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

of spending the rest of his life, or at least a very large portion of his life, in prison. Now, this is a case that should be national news. If we had a worthwhile media in this country, every single one of them would be leading with this story. But as it stands, from what I can tell, only local news stations are covering the indictment. And predictably, they're not covering the absurdity of charging a police officer with murder for defending himself.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Instead, they're running puff pieces where they speak to Stubblefield's family about what a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

great father he supposedly is.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

You know, because nothing says great father like driving drunk, armed with blood alcohol three times the legal limit, and then trying to fight the cops. Yeah, it must have been a great dad. This guy, truly a model citizen.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

This is from nine News, which is based in Denver. It's one of the most nauseating segments that you'll ever see.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Watch.

[News Anchor (9 News Denver)]

We're starting nine news at 10 with some breaking news. A grand jury has indicted an Aurora police officer for shooting and killing Rajon Belt Double Field, a black man in Aurora. The shooting happened last August at 6 and Bellings. Police say that they pulled over Belt Stubble Field for speeding and suspected dui. Body camera video showed an Aurora police officer approaching his car with a gun drawn. Belt Stubblefield gets out of the car and throws a gun into a nearby grassy area as the officer pushes him to the ground. The officer told him to get on the ground and punched him in the head. Eventually, the officer fires three shots and a grand jury indicted Matthew Neely last week. Court records indicate he's facing charges for second degree murder and reckless manslaughter.

[Reporter/Interviewer]

For 19 year old Zion Murphy, the moments with his father were quiet. Everyday things. The kind of moments you never realize you'll miss until they're gone.

[Interviewee (Rajan Stubblefield's son)]

I just miss our. You know, our conversations. You know, when it's just me and him in the car talking or just listening to music and calling all of the time. Just being in each other's presence.

[Reporter/Interviewer]

The bond between a father and his firstborn son is forged in the everyday. The jokes and the lessons.

[Interviewee (Rajan Stubblefield's son)]

He was like one of them dads that was straight at a certain age.

[Reporter/Interviewer]

Was he the one taking your side or was he siding with mom?

[Interviewee (Rajan Stubblefield's son)]

Siding with mom.

[Reporter/Interviewer]

Seven more kids and a lot of life later. It wasn't perfect, but it was real.

[Interviewee (Rajan Stubblefield's son)]

I was supposed to move in with

[Reporter/Interviewer]

him and it was growing into something more.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Dad, chill.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

No, get that. No. Dad, chill. Chill.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get that.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

Officer, chill.

[Reporter/Interviewer]

Zion's pleadings couldn't stop what came next.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Get on the ground.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

Ready for.

[Reporter/Interviewer]

Rajon was shot three times, once in the head.

[Interviewee (Family member or expert)]

The nightmares are off and on, but I can see it in my head. I can't imagine what as the part that hurts me the most. It didn't slow you down to hear someone calling for their father. It didn't make a difference to you?

[Reporter/Interviewer]

Rajon was a complicated man. His demons pulling him into a battle he would not walk away from that summer night.

[Interviewee (Family member or expert)]

He did have a problem with alcohol and that is understandable, but that's not uncommon. That's a disease and that's an illness. The death penalty is only for. Was when you kill someone. Oh, not for. I was driving drunk. I didn't pull over right away. I didn't. I did. And. And you're not the one who gets to decide. Except for so often, you are the one who gets to decide.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Just utter shamelessness all the way down. And the fact that this is the family. Doesn't make it okay. Doesn't make it okay. And hopefully we all understand that by now that we're not just, you know, we're not. We're not just going to sit here in. In reverent Silence. While the family, as always, gets on TV and lies because they want to see a race riot and they want to take advantage of this and they want to sue and they want to get millions of dollars. We're not going to do that. Okay?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

That's a lie. What she just said is a lie.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Notice how when the woman is describing what Stubblefield was doing before he got the. The death penalty, you know, she trails off at the end. It's pretty conspicuous. She says he's driving drunk and didn't pull over right away, and then she kind of, you know, just sort of moves on.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Well, what else did he do, ma'?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Am? Right after that.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Okay, after he fled from the officer and hit two people with his car, what happened next? He didn't happen to charge towards the

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

officer, backing him up into traffic while threatening to beat him, did he?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

He wasn't telling his son to retrieve

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

his firearm, was he?

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

He.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

He didn't refuse to obey multiple desperate commands from a police officer who was very clearly trying to do everything in his power to not shoot Neely until he was left with no other choice, did he?

[Narrator/Police Report]

No.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

The way she tells it, he was driving drunk. The officer pulled him out of the car and said, you were driving drunk,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

and for that, you die and just shot him on the spot.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

That's the way she tells it.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Oh, but it's the family. It's okay for them to lie.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

They can. They can tell all the lies they want

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

now. And of course, you know, you could say, well, sure, the family can tell all the lies they want. You can't really stop that.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

The.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The responsibility is really with the news media.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

So it's your responsibility as the news

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

media to put proper context on this

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

and to tell the truth. Well, the purpose of this news segment,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

though, very transparently, is to foment a race riot in an election year. You know, there's no reason to run a puff piece on this guy in which they minimize the fact that he was obviously a violent, dangerous degenerate, and there's certainly no reason to talk to his wife or, you know, if they were married. The family is.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Is.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Is going to sue the city because, you know, they're going to get the payout. The testimony that we just heard there is not credible. It's. It's not honest. It's a lie.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And more to the point, their life story is completely irrelevant to what happened. I'm. I'm very skeptical that this guy was a good dad. Okay. I know that they have a few

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

pictures of him holding his kids and they tell he's a good dad.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

I, I'm really skeptical of that. Okay, yeah, sometimes you can make judgments

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

about somebody based on only seeing, you know, about a minute of them, but

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

if, if in that minute they are trying to beat an armed police officer who has a gun pointed at them, yeah, I'm skeptical. I color me skep about the stories

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

of this guy being a good dad,

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

but, you know, who knows?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

People are capable of surprising.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

I suppose that has nothing to do either way with this case. And if we're going to interview these

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

people and talk about how the dad liked to play board games or whatever, at least when he wasn't drunk out of his mind and crashing in innocent families on the road and trying to, you know, kill police officers.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

When, when. Then what about the interview with the cops family? Why don't we get his side of the story? Is the cop a good, A good dad? Like, does he have kids? Does he have a wife? Does he. Is he.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Does he have a mom?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Does he have siblings? I mean, what about him? Does he have friends? Is he a good person? Are we going to hear about the cop's favorite color? All the parks, all the, all the parks he likes to visit in his spare time, all the, all the beaches he likes to walk on? What about that?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Well, instead, shockingly enough, we learned that Stubblefield's son was ignored when he pleaded with the cop to chill. So the wife really can't comprehend that one. You know, she's like, why on earth would the cop not listen to her son and allow this violent thug to beat him in the street? It's a real mystery, you know, after all, on their first day at the academy, every cop is taught that when a random bystander tells you.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Tells you to chill, then you need to lay down your weapon and just

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

take whatever beating is coming.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Textbook police procedure. Try to comprehend the gall that these

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

people have in order to run this playbook. When the shooting is on video, the

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

family, the media, all of them, it's almost unbelievable.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

And we can't forget the new da, Amy Padden, who brought this case before the grand jury. And you know, we really don't need to show her picture because she's exactly

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

what you'd expect, but there it is

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

anyway, in case you wanted the visual. Amy Patton, of course, is a leftist white woman with the important lady glasses who believes in racial equity and social justice and all the rest of it. She's endorsed by communists, including Bernie Sanders, for obvious reasons. Amy Patton's objective is anarcho tyranny, where she lets black criminals out of prison and spends most of her time prosecuting police officers and other white people who attempt to maintain law and order. Just to make sure I wasn't missing anything, I pulled up the grand jury indictment in this case.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

This is the.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The document the prosecutors drafted and the grand jury signed off on. I wanted to see if there was some actual evidence that this police officer

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

had committed murder, but there's nothing there. The officer told investigators that he thought

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Stubblefield was going to assault him and

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

take his firearm, which was obviously a reasonable assumption. From that footage, he stated he didn't

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

have a taser at the time, and

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

he didn't believe pepper spray would be

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

effective because it would incapacitate both of them.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Again, reasonable point, right? And then there's this quote.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

At one point, the officer attempted to holster his pistol so that he could transition to his retractable baton, less lethal device, but he was unable to get the pistol in his holster. Defendant spent approximately seven seconds trying to holster his weapon, but he was not successful in doing so. Stubblefield never verbally threatened to harm defendant, nor made any overt acts to disarm the officer or to rearm himself. Well, that last part is a flat out lie. Okay? If you square up in a boxer stance and say, you ready for this? Over and over again, you're obviously making

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

a verbal threat to harm someone, so they're just flat out lying, saying he never made a threat. Yes, he did. We all heard it. You heard it on the video. What do you think? Are you ready for this? Refers to. What did he mean if he didn't mean he's gonna. What was Stubblefield gonna.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

What, was he gonna perform a magic trick?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Was he going to break dance? Maybe show off the Christopher Walken impression he's been workshopping? No. Clearly, we all know what he was going to do, and this is a farce.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Everyone who sees that video knows exactly what Stubblefield was doing. No rational human being with eyes and a brain could possibly be confused about

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

what Stubblefield's intentions were. And yet, based on that indictment, Amy Patton went to a grand jury and

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

stated that the officer was never threatened.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

She lied to the grand jury, in other words. And remember, in a grand jury proceeding,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the defense doesn't get the opportunity to say anything they're not invited.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

So the prosecutor is free to lie

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

about whatever she wants. And in this case, that's exactly what happened.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Patton's gambit is to say whatever she needs to say to get this white male police officer in front of a Colorado jury. And she knows that at that point, all bets are off.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

I mean, even if she has no

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

case and she doesn't, she could very

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

well still send this innocent man to prison for life.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And that's what she intends to do and may well succeed in doing.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

I mean, it's just evil beyond comprehension.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And by the way, the fact that

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

he wasn't able to holster his pistol and draw his baton is not relevant to the question of whether he had

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

a right to shoot. Police are not obligated to try out

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

their less lethal weapons before using their handguns.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

That's actually not how it works in real life. In real life, you have seconds life or death. If this guy gets on you, okay,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

and he's drunk and who knows? I mean, you don't know is he is what other substances he might be on. He's obviously really amped up.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

He obviously doesn't value his own life. He is in a suicidal rage. Anyone who's going to pass judgment on

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the cops, you try that sometime, okay?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

You try to handle a, a violent drunk in a suicidal rage who doesn't value his own life or yours. So you try to contain that person

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

and, and, and, and, and get them

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

under, get them under control without shooting them, while, by the way, knowing that you have a weapon on you that

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

he's going to try to take from you even if you put it in a holster. Go ahead, give, give that a shot sometime. No, it's a moment by moment determination in this case. The officer obviously wanted to try using the baton at one point during this encounter.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But the thing is, as long as

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the officer's handgun wasn't holstered for whatever reason, there's a real threat.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

This guy could take the handgun if he closed the distance. Even if it was in the holster, he could still take it. And that's the whole point.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The officer's inability to holster his firearm under the stress of the situation does

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

not give a criminal license to charge towards him and potentially take his firearm. And talking about these cases as though the suspect, the criminal, has zero responsibility. The way the family and the media

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

talks about this guy, just like in

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

all these cases, no responsibility. So we have, there's zero onus on him. He is allowed to escalate, escalate, escalate every step of the way. And the onus is entirely on the police officer. And we're going to parse everything he does in minute detail after the fact. And somehow the benefit of the doubt is going to go to the psychotic criminal Drunk. What kind of way is that to

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

function in a civilized society?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Oh, you know, it's kind of a close call. Yeah, let's give the benefit of the doubt to the criminal psychotic, drunk. It makes sense. Tie goes to the runner, and somehow,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

you know, this is only the beginning. The more you read this indictment, the worse it gets. The indictment tries to make the argument that Officer Neely wasn't justified in using deadly force because, quote, at no time did the officer tell Stubblefield that he was under arrest.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

The officer did not radio the police

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

dispatcher that Stubblefield was not complying with his commands, or that he had and threw a gun into the grass when he got out of the Jeep, or that he believed Zion Murphy, the kid, and at least one other unrelated man at the scene to be an associate of Stubblefield.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Instead of continuing backwards on the sidewalk,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the officer stepped into the westbound lanes of 6 Avenue with his pistol in his right hand. The officer did not tell Stubblefield that he was under arrest. The officer did not tell Stubblefield that

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

he would shoot him immediately prior to firing.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

So, in other words, I mean, this is really outrageous. With the benefit of hindsight, the officer's radio calls could have been better. Oh, and he could have given a few more warnings about shooting Stubblefield in addition to the warnings he already gave.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And what's worse, he didn't. He didn't inform Stubblefield that he was under arrest.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Can you imagine? I mean, without being told he was

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

under arrest, how was this guy supposed to know that he was in trouble? All he was doing was committing multiple felonies and nearly killing people on the road before charging at a police officer. Surely, surely if he had only been told he was under arrest, everything would have been different. Surely if the cop had just said, oh, you're under arrest, Then.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Then.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Then Stubblefield would have said, oh, I'm under arrest. Oh, is that what you're doing? Oh, I had no idea. No. So, no, you're a police officer with a gun who's telling me to get

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

on the ground after I crashed, you know, my car and tried to get

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

away from you, but I didn't know that I was. I didn't know you were trying to arrest me. Is that what this is all about? Oh, well, I. Pardon me. I. Excuse my. Excuse my.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

My confusion. This is embarrassing.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Oh, yes, right away.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

I'll get right on the ground, officer. Sure. That's how it would have gone, right?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Yes.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The only reason Stubblefield reacted the way he did was that he was confused about what the officer wanted him to do.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Sure. You know, the officer did say multiple times, get on the ground. Get your hands up. Etc. The officer did give clear instructions to this guy multiple times. But still Stubblefield was perplexed. The officer needed to be even more clear. And because the officer wasn't more clear, Stubblefield did the only reasonable thing with the limited information available to him, which is he tried to beat the officer at the pulp and steal his gun. I mean, what else was he supposed to do? He was confused. Right. Because if a cop is trying to detain you and you're confused about what

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

they want you to do, even though they're saying, get on the ground. Put your hands up. Get on the ground. Put your hands up. Get on the ground. Get on the ground.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Like, I don't know what part of that is confusing. Get on the ground. Get. Okay, on the ground. You know what the ground is. But. But if you're confused, then. Then I guess you have license to just beat the hell out of the cop.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

That. That's what the. That's what the. The D. A. Is saying.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

This is a case for the department

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

of justice to look into immediately. It's one of the most egregious cases of misconduct by a prosecutor we've ever seen. And that, I mean, that's really saying something. This DA Needs to be removed from office in handcuffs. I mean, at what point are we going to have enough of this? There is no universe in which this indictment should stand.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

We have basic human rights in this

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

country, or at least we should. We cannot stand by and just allow a psychotic, evil DA to railroad an innocent man and ruin his life.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

His human rights are being violated at

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the most fundamental level. The fact that leftists are even trying

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

to push this case is genuinely astonishing even by their standards. It's a sign of a really a new strategy in their war on body

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

cams, which have caused so many problems for their ideology over the last decade.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And the new strategy is simply to ignore the footage entirely, pretend it doesn't exist on the theory that a left wing jury will convict the police anyway. And the thing is that that strategy,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

if we're being honest, has a very real chance of success.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Recently we talked about how leftists in

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Madison, Wisconsin have done a rather comical 180 on the use of police body cams. First, BLM activists in Madison said body cams were racist because they might disproportionately affect minority communities. Meaning they'd record black people committing crimes and black people commit crimes at a disproportionate amount. So therefore, they're going to be disproportionately recorded. So the body cams should be banned completely is what they said and what they did.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But now those same BLM activists are furious because there's no body cam footage of a recent police shooting involving a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

degenerate lifelong black felon named Corey Ruiz. Leftists were convinced that the footage would show some kind of police misconduct, which would allow them to instigate a new wave of all important, you know, riots in an election year. And alas, no cameras, though, mean no footage.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

So now they're demanding body cams. They want more surveillance now solely because they believe it will benefit their ideology

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

at this particular moment. But at the same time, they want restrictions on the body cams so that

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

the footage can't be used to prosecute

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

certain crimes, like illegal immigration or any crime a black person happens to commit naturally. They're trying to figure out a way to prevent too many Democrat voters from going to prison. Give another few years and presumably they'll give up, give up and try to ban body cams again. That's probably the way they'll go. The flip flop of Madison, as we discussed, was yet another indication that body cams have been a disaster for the left. It highlights, once again, they don't care about the truth. They don't care about principles at all. The entire ideology depends on distorting reality to fit narratives that are clearly fake. And whatever they're advocating for can change on a dime depending on the needs of the moment. And body cams stand in their way 99% of the time. You might remember this case, Desean Leith, or maybe you don't remember. They told us that he was a

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

force in his community. Real family man, community leader.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The sheriff's office even made him a community engagement officer, whatever that means, despite his multiple felony convictions, including for home invasion. And then the body cam footage came

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

out and showed this watch.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

You ain't care. That's Jesus. That's Jesus. Get down on the ground.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

So there's exhibit A for why tasers don't work.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

So everyone, all the idiots who say, why didn't he use a taser? Like, have you. I mean, how many of these body

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

cam things do you need to see before you understand that the, the taser doesn't necessarily do anything?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

If somebody's all.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

If you got a, you know, a.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

A grown adult man who again, is in a psychotic rage,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the taser is

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

likely to just irritate and, and enrage him even more. After Being Tasered.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

You know, this guy goes on to beat the officer and steal his police

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

car, which he took out for a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

joyride on the Ohio Turnpike, nearly killing multiple people.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And this is why, when a deranged thug is charging towards you, you have every right to shoot them. Doesn't matter if they're unarmed. They're a lethal threat to you and everybody around you. And you need to do what you need to do to neutralize them. They have no right to charge at

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

you and assault you and threaten you.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

You're under no obligation to value their life above your own. You are under no obligation to put your own life at risk for the sake of preserving the life of a violent, degenerate scumbag who wants to do you harm. This same logic applies obviously, to police officers, or. Or at least it should.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

And overwhelmingly, body cams show that police

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

officers have to deal with barbaric criminals like this every day, and they exercise remarkable restraint in doing so. Officer Neely exercised remarkable restraint in that video. He pleads with Stubblefield to get on the ground. He pushes him back multiple times. He would have been perfectly justified in shooting Stubblefield dead the first time he charged. That would have been a totally fine response. But Neely goes out of his way, above and beyond, to avoid doing what he eventually has no choice but to do. But when I talked about the situation

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

in Madison a few days ago, I realized now that I may have been a little too optimistic, which is not. Which is unusual for me.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

I may have been a little too

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

optimistic in this case, especially optimistic about. About body cam footage and how it can be used to suppress fake leftist narratives before they get off the ground.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

I mean, it's still really good to have them. We need to have them.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

But I assumed, I guess naively, that

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

when there's clear body cam footage showing that a police officer acted lawfully to

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

defend himself from a violent threat and

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

this body cam footage is released right away, then BLM activists would have to give up and just move on to

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the next fake outrage.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Not because they're honest people or because they have morals or a soul.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

None of that applies to BLM activists, obviously, but.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But because they. They would have no choice. The truth would be plain as day

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

for everybody to see. And.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And that's been true in general.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

You know, whenever there's a BLM hoax, whether it's George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, or anybody else, the narrative has always depended on the fact that body cam footage is not released to the public, at least not immediately.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And when there's body cam footage that immediately kills the narrative before it can

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

propagate, then generally speaking, the narrative kind of fizzles out.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But with the Stubblefield case, it's not true anymore.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

BLM activists have decided that they're going

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

to just simply ignore the footage that

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

contradicts their race propaganda.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And it's happening all over the country.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Maybe you've heard of the case of 14 year old Rashawn Knight in Jacksonville, Florida. Now, according to left wing activists, left wing activist in July, Rashawn was out for a walk with a 15 year

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

old friend at 2:45am right? Perfectly normal time to go for a walk. Obviously kids, they weren't up to anything illegal. They were just going for a walk,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

just going for a stroll.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And then the police out of nowhere attacked them. The police used racial slurs supposedly and beat the children for no reason. All because they had jaywalked.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Right? That's the story anyway.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Watch.

[News Reporter (Jacksonville incident)]

14 year old Rashawn Wright was walking with his friends when he got stopped by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office for jaywalking. What happened next was he was mauled by canines and beaten by the police. Let's get into it. So football player and 14 year old student Rashawn Knight was walking with one of his friends when JSO officers decided to stop the two boys for so called jaywalking. Officers then began to harass the boys, trying to accuse them of messing with cars and weapons possession. Now according to Ran's mom, officers then proceeded to call the boys racial slurs before beating them. And during the incident, JSO officers stomped on Rayshawn's ribs, beat him and then sick their dogs onto him. Now Ran was bitten on the arms, legs and neck and his injuries were so severe that he had to go to UF Health to be treated. He was then transferred and is now being held at the Duval Juvenile Detention center despite having done nothing wrong other than going on a walk with one of his friends. Now oftentimes young black boys are caught in the wrong place at the wrong time simply because of trigger happy brut. And to make matters worse, Rayshawn is also allergic to dogs which only added to his injuries and distress. Too often JSO operates in the city with carte blanche, harassing and brutalizing residents as they see fit. And now with TK Waters new multi million dollar drone program, the Drone as first responder or DFR initiative called Eagle Eye, backed by $610,000 in state funding which deploys aerial technology to emergency scenes within 40 to 60 seconds to stream live video before ground units even arrive. This type of behavior is only set worse. Ran Knight will likely spend the rest of his life healing from the trauma he experienced at the hands of the people who are sworn to serve and protect.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Hey, let's get into it. Here's a whole bunch of nonsense. Let's get into it.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

This seven year old black child was exploded by a, by a bazooka, all because he was trying to feed an orphaned puppy. Let's get into it. Notice how she includes a.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

And by the way, the jaywalking, this is like one of the. There are many mythologies of black activists. The jaywalking thing is one of their favorites. They've this mythology of black people that are constantly like getting.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

All they did was jaywalk. All they did. They were just simply jaywalking.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Notice how she includes a random jab at the surveillance state at the end of the video in an attempt to get some public support on her side. You know, she knows people online hate drones and surveillance, so she's somehow trying to make the case, make the case that this case is about that. You know, it's all very calculated.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And she goes on to say the officers should be indicted, their lives should be ruined.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

And of course the kid's family deserves a massive payout from the city because he's so traumatized. So traumatized. Well, the problem is every aspect of what you just heard is fake. Okay?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

It's all, it's all made up.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

They just make things up. That's what these people do. They just make things up. They just simply lie about everything all the time. First of all, Rashawn Knight and his friends were not jaywalking, nor did the

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

police suspect that they were jaywalking. They were actually suspected of breaking into cars. And residents called 911 because when a couple of black teenagers are out wandering the streets at three in the morning, it, it's almost certain that they are committing crimes. Okay, I, I call me R.A. this racial profiling. Go ahead, like give me, can you give me one real example that you've ever heard of in your life of like a 14 year old black kid

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

out at 3am like for an innocent reason. Oh, just go. Going for a walk.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Yeah. His friends called him up. His friends called him up at 2 in the morning and said, hey, hey, you want to go for a walk? Yeah, I guess I just need to

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

get some fresh air. I got a lot on my mind. I got to clear my mind.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Let's go for a walk.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

At 2am 3am

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

but even if you

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

buy that that's plausible, that you could have 14, 15 year old black kids in the city going for a walk at 3am that doesn't even matter because that's not what was happening here. They were actually suspected of breaking into cars. There's like a specific crime that they were reasonably suspected of committing and it was that. But we're supposed to pretend that, that, you know, we don't realize all of this. So unless we'd be called racist. Now, when the police arrived on the scene, officers caught the teens in the act of breaking into a vehicle.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Okay, so they, again, pretty. They had every reason to suspect that these kids break into vehicles because they caught them in the act of doing that. The car alarm goes off right in front of them and the teens run away. The officers recovered a window breaker from

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

one of the teens as well as a stolen handgun.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But they were just going for a walk. I mean, what kid, what kid does not go for a walk at 3am with a handgun and a window breaker on him? At no point did officers use any

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

racial slurs or excessive force. That's just completely made up. They didn't beat anyone, they didn't stomp on anybody's ribs.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

The police acknowledged that they struck one

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

of the teens when he was reaching for his waistband. And the officers deployed a dog who bit one of the teens as he fled. You know, maybe don't break into cars and run from the cops and you won't get bit by a dog. You got off easy. And, and it worked. He, he stopped running and dropped the stolen gun that he was carrying. Officers rendered aid as soon as they could and it was obviously a minor injury.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Again, the kids got off easy and there's no doubt about any of this. Okay, Everything I just said is a fact. It's all on tape. And by the way, when you're watching this footage, note that this 14 year

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

old is like not some little kid. We're talking about obese thugs here. Just, you know, just to be clear. And here it is.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Watch.

[Narrator/Police Report]

Around 2:45am on July 20, District 3 patrol officers and our K9 unit responded to the Greenfield Banner neighborhood after reports that two individuals were actively burglarizing vehicles. A homeowner also reported the suspects were armed with handguns. When officers arrived, they witnessed Knight and another juvenile breaking into a vehicle. In the body worn camera footage, you'll hear a car alarm sounding before officers make contact. Officers identified themselves as law enforcement and repeatedly ordered both suspects to stop. Instead, both ran away while Armed with handguns.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Stop. You're gonna get dog bit. You're gonna get dog bit. Target. Target. Target. Get on the ground. Chase that one. Chase that one. Chase that one. Put your hands behind your back. Back. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Is there anything I want you to know about?

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

Oh, no.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Any weapons?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

No, sir.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

I got glasses in my qu.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Your hands up or I'm gonna shoot you.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Hands up on the ground.

[Narrator/Police Report]

Knight was arrested for nine vehicle burglaries related to this investigation.

[YouTube Channel Host (Midwest Safety)]

Hey, where, where did he get you at?

[Narrator/Police Report]

I know he,

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

it looked like it

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

got you on your, like, your lap. Nine vehicle burglaries. But he was just out for a walk. And the poor, the poor child is traumatized. I honestly, I don't know how anyone becomes a police officer at this point. I, I, I don't.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

You literally could not pay. I wouldn't be a cop for a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

hundred million dollars a year. I really wouldn't.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

There is a billion dollars. Make me Elon Musk. I don't care. A trillion. There is no amount of money that would ever make me take this job at this point. You're, you deal with the worst people on the planet every day. The most degenerate, dysfunctional scumbags every single day. They all want to kill you. They all want you dead. And, and, and you're, you're, you're risking your life to protect these communities who hate you. You're out there, like, trying to stop, like, they're breaking into cars in this community. This is, this is almost certainly a predominantly black community committing property theft. It's like protecting your property. And the community just will turn on you in a second. You're out there protecting them, and they're just waiting, waiting for, like, the smallest mistake to ruin your life. And even if you don't make a mistake, they still might try to ruin your life.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

It's amazing to me that anyone takes

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

this job,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

but makes me have even

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

more respect for police officers, honestly, because any of the.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Look, look, not all police officers are perfect.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Ob, not everybody in any profession is perfect.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Obviously, there's, there's, there's bad apples in every profession, as we know.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But it's like, if you're trying to

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

ascribe sinister motives to cops at this

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

point, what do you, like, what do you think they're getting out of it at this point? They are risking their life.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

That's a fact. And, and they know that the second

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

they're in any kind of Difficult, potentially life threatening situation. They know that there are two very possible outcomes. One is they die and the other is if they don't die, they go to jail forever. What is even a sinister reason for

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

someone to take on a job like that considering, oh, by the way, it also doesn't pay that well. Now most of these people are in this job actually because they, they really want to protect and serve the community. I mean, it's actually why they're doing it.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

There's.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

There's literally no other motivation at this point to take the job

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

anyway.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

This should be the end of the whole narrative. This was yet another attempt by leftists and black activists to lie in a desperate attempt to start race riots. And it's been exposed unambiguously. But once again, activists are simply ignoring the evidence. They, they certainly aren't acknowledging that they were wildly wrong about the facts of this case. Instead, a BLM style black activist group called the Jacksonville Community Action Committee just

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

released a statement claiming the video is deceptively edited and they're doubling down on their narrative even though the video is

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

obviously devastating for them.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Quote, the Jacksonville Community Action Committee condemns

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office latest attempt to

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

retroactively justify the brutalization of 14 year old Rashawn Knight. This is a deliberate attempt to shift public focus away from the brutality of

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the incident to a misleading portrayal of Knight as a threat. The fact remains Rashawn Knight is a child and he was subjected to canine bites and strikes.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

The community demands the full unedited body cam footage and audio, not just of the clips. We demand all trumped up charges be

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

dropped and continue to demand that Rashaun be released to his mother immediately. We demand the officers involved in this

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

brutal arrest be held accountable.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

End JSO excessive force now.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Releasing to his mother.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

She's obviously doing a bang up job. Yeah. Where is the mom? Your 14 year old kid is out at 3am where the hell are you?

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

What?

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

What?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

What's the mom doing? Oh, he's a child.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

He's a child. The cops are supposed to know that. What are they supposed to stop and ask?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Like before detaining, before we arrest you? How old are you?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

And then by the way, why does that matter? You're still committing a crime. We have to arrest you.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Says the teens were not a threat.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

They were just caught on camera at three in the morning breaking into cars while carrying a stolen handgun and a window breaker.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

What's the big deal? Arrest the officers. Release Rashawn back to his mother immediately. This poor Boy, he just wants to

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

go on peaceful nature walks with his friends in the middle of the night while holding stolen handguns.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

He's a nature enthusiast, that's all.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Actually, here's a better idea.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

No, keep. Keep this guy, this.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

This kid, this child in jail, and get the mother, throw her in the prison with him.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

How about that?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Assuming you can, you can find him, which is admittedly very unlikely. Round up the father, too.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

How about that? Isn't that what we're doing now? Didn't a white father just get sentenced

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

to 15 years in prison because his son shot up a school? I mean, if white parents are liable for the crimes of their children, then black parents should be liable as well. Now, of course, that'll mean arresting an awful lot of black parents in the

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

hood, but then again, our constitution has an equal protection clause for a reason. Laws must be applied equally. So let's start with the parents of this child.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The only part of their statement that's reasonable, though, is that, yeah, to the extent that the sheriff's office has more footage, they should release it, assuming they have it already. Every news outlet in Jacksonville is going to get the footage eventually. The more transparency, the better.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But obviously, these people don't care about the evidence anyway. So really, there's no point. There's no point. No matter what happens, no matter what it shows, they will say the police officer should be fired and the city should pay out a multimillion dollar settlement.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

They'll never admit they were lying. They'll never have a single moment of self reflection.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

They'll just continue inventing fraudulent narratives until one of them sticks.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

You know, the reason they're so confident in their strategy is that piece by piece, these activists are taking over the government at the local level. As we discussed in Aurora, they have a communist D. A. Who's willing to prosecute police officers for no reason. And meanwhile, in New York, there's a dei, a DEI deputy, A deputy police commissioner who was just arrested for acting

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

as a getaway driver in an attempted gang hit which was carried out by her son. So they're keeping it. It's a family business. Yes. A deputy police commissioner in New York.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

In New York, allegedly participated in a

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

gang hit with her husband and her son. So a real classic family outing, you know, kind we've all had at one point or another.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

You watch a movie, you get some ice cream, you try to assassinate some members of a rival crew. Nothing more American than that. This is from the New York Post, by the way. Not the Babylon be quote, a Westchester county police bigwig and her ex con

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

hubby chaperone their gang banger son to a botched hit on arrival in the Bronx. Then she took over as the getaway

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

driver, official said Tuesday. Mount Vernon Deputy Police Chief Deputy Police Commissioner Jennifer Lacker, 49, and her husband James Lard, drove their 20 year old

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

son Chase Lacquer to the Grand Concourse

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

on June 29 at around 11:57pm helped him plan a brazen hit right outside the Bronx Criminal Court, according to police and court records.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Once there, the proud parents sat in

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the front of the family's Chrysler Pacifica while their slutty gang member son I. That's literally the name of Slutty Gang. Is that the name of the gang is Slutty Gang. Okay?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

They don't make gang names like they used to. What happened to like Crips and Bloods?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

I mean, at least that sounds tough. The slutty gang opened fire with a semi automatic out of the window toward members of the rival street crew Pay P. Lay. That's another one.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

P. Le Fay and the Slutty Gang.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

These are the gang names.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

They should all be arrested just based on that alone. But he missed his target.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Sources and documents dead. Then the family of Brainy, the Berniacs, sped off, switched seats in the car, and even had the son change clothes to avoid detection, according to a criminal indictment unveiled on Tuesday. The Mount Vernon Police Force fired Jennifer Lackard from her $138,000 a year gig hours after news of the arrest broke. The PD also wiped her profile from its website, which had listed her as boss of the Wellness Units. Oh, man. Well, so there goes the Wellness Unit of Westchester county, which was almost certainly just a money laundering operation. The whole thing should be shut down along with all DEI hiring everywhere in every context.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

You know, we talked about this a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

bit yesterday in the context of the wnba, but if we're being honest, it's not an accident that everybody we've talked about today is a woman. You know, the Aurora da, the Jacksonville BLM activist, the deputy police commissioner who moonlights as a gangbanger. You know, the, the, the criminals we're talking about are black males.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And then the people that are enabling

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

this are very often females in positions of, you know, where they've gotten there because of dei.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

So, you know, there's a, there's a broader issue here, which is that DEI

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

hires who should not be influencing anything of importance should are increasingly ending up in positions of power despite their manifest

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

incompetence and complete lack of Moral character. These are people who have no qualifications,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

no insights, nothing to contribute. Every single time they get a job. They don't deserve some unimaginable catastrophe, or perhaps maybe very imaginable, very foreseeable catastrophe soon follows. To the extent they do anything, it's to make this country less safe and less functional. Now, with respect to body cams, these imbeciles have now committed themselves to ignoring the footage entirely. They've also been doing their best to make the footage harder to obtain. This is another story that's not getting much coverage, but right now on YouTube, as you probably noticed, one of the most popular genres is police body cam footage. Popular channels include Police Activity, Midwest Safety, Code Blue Cam, and so on. They've gone mainstream to the point that podcasters and comedians are talking about some of these channels, which were basically unheard of just a few months ago.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Watch

[YouTube Channel Host (Midwest Safety)]

the Midwest Safety's taking over my algorithm.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

How good is my algorithm?

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

What's Midway best, dude?

[YouTube Channel Host (Midwest Safety)]

Just long body cam videos. It's great, dude.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Great narration.

[YouTube Channel Host (Midwest Safety)]

The guy breaks down the story.

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

Yep.

[YouTube Channel Host (Midwest Safety)]

The officer recap. I like the officer. He's a Philly. He was a Philly officer, by the way. Was he Philly? Yeah. He recaps like, this is what happens. Hey, it's very common. There was one. It was sad, but there was a guy who was pretending to work on a house, and he was. I think he was probably just, like, stealing the pipes or whatever. So the cops, like. He's like, nah. He's like, I'm working here, guy. And he kept. It was. He was, like, lying, but he was pretty. He was like. It seemed like he was smooth with it in his head, but he was also, like. He would say the same thing over and over. You go place the hole. You guys gotta see. He kept trying to do, like, contractor talk. And they're like, so, what are you.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

What are you doing in here?

[YouTube Channel Host (Midwest Safety)]

He's like, plumbing job, dump job, drywall company. And they'd be like, okay, okay, you're

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

inside somebody else's house. I'm just giving me information that doesn't match to a person. You understand where I'm coming from.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

I know.

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

Okay, tell you what. Turn around and grab the wall. Turn around and grab the wall.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Come on.

[YouTube Channel Host (Midwest Safety)]

What did I do?

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

Turn around and grab the wall.

[Bystander/Family Member (body cam audio)]

For what?

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

I didn't do anything.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

I came to work.

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

Like I said, turn around, grab the wall. Back door.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

No, I have a gun on me.

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

So do I. I have a. Cod0.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

Stop.

[Dispatcher/Police Radio]

You toss that gun on the ground. Right now, I will ventilate your ass. Toss that gun down.

[Police Officer (body cam audio)]

No.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Now one of the main reasons these

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

videos are so popular is that unlike cops, they're not sanitized in service of a communist agenda. You know, there's an interview with the co creator of cops, John Langley, where he admits that he goes out of his way to include more white suspects even though black people are committing most of the crime.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Quote, here's the reality of crime in

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

the, in the street crime, approximately 60% to 70% is perpetrated by people of color.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Maybe 35, 30 to 35% of the

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

suspects are white people. In prisons the percentages are pretty much the same. 35% maybe of the people in prison are white. The rest are people of color, meaning black, Hispanic, whatever.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Now on cops, we reverse that. We showed 60 to 70% white suspects

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

and 30 to 35% or maybe as

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

high, occasionally as 40 of people of color. Now why do I do that?

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Because I don't want to contribute to negative stereotyping. Everybody knows that crimes take place in the ghetto. We all know that or should know that. The majority of street crime, all the white criminals are at Enron and places like that. And that's just because they're not disenfranchised. And they, and they do different kinds of crime.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Well, there you have it. White people are committing all kinds of

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

crime all the time.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

You just can't see it. It's invisible crime. White people are constantly conducting Enron level accounting frauds every day, every day, millions of them at the same frequency that blacks and Hispanics are committing street crime. John Langley is sure of it. Just trust him. In fact, he's so sure of it that he's willing to put racial propaganda on the air for decades. All to counteract this grave injustice that he made up in his own head. It's an incredible quote and it sums

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

up leftism pretty well.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

They think they're justified when they lie

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

to in support of a fake narrative that they've invented that suits their ideology.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

But COPS is full of many other deceptions too.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

For example, they rarely show serious violent crime. They mostly film meth addicts in parking lots. The whiter the better. But if a black guy shoots and kills a police officer, they're not going to air that. If a Hispanic gang banger executes an innocent person, they're not going to air that. You know, they'd rather show you a white guy who's getting high in his own backyard so you can point and laugh at them.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

This is why YouTube channels like Midwest

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Safety and Police Activity are so popular, they don't have any obvious political agenda. They show you what happened, mostly unfiltered. They show you the reality of living in major American cities.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And as a result, all over the country, there are efforts to shut these channels down. Now, despite how it may look, these

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

channels put in a lot of work

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

to get that footage.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

They're submitting thousands of record requests to local police departments and sifting through all of it. Then they're editing it and in some cases, narrating it in response. Many local jurisdictions are now charging these channels per request, and the charges aren't small. Now, to give you just one example, this is from the Yellow Springs News in Ohio.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Quote, Village Council authorizes charging some for

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

police video records requests at the most recent village council meeting, Monday, April 21, the group approved a resolution that allows

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

the village to charge for public records

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

requests of video footage from the Yellow Springs Police Department's body worn camera and police cruiser dash cameras. According to the resolution, the village will

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

charge $75 per hour a video produced,

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

not exceeding a total of $750 for each recorded video. So if there's an incident in Yellow springs and a YouTube channel wants to collect the body cam footage from multiple officers, they might end up paying thousands of dollars, all without knowing if the footage is actually newsworthy. For example, if a channel requests all the body cam footage from three officers on the scene, the police department could produce the officer's body cams from the entire shift and demand more than $2,000. This is obviously an effort to prevent

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

the public from accessing information that they are entitled to. And there are many similar bills that

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

have been enacted throughout the country. In some cases, local jurisdictions are simply refusing to turn over footage entirely unless the person requesting the footage falls into some narrow exception like a school or a credentialed news outlet. This is from a group called the Better Government Association. Keep in mind, as you hear this,

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

they're focusing solely on Illinois with this analysis. Quote, several legislative efforts in 2025 tried

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

to limit access to body cam footage, according to an analysis by BGA Policy. BGA Policy found six bills that would have limited access to body cam footage. HB 1583 and HB 3524 would have limited access by changing which officers require body cams or changing requirements to have body cams turned on while on duty. The other other bills, HB3515, HB3380, and SB 1796, under Senate Amendment 1 were

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

broader, they would have targeted the requester

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

and the requesting process, limiting either the circumstances for accessing body cam footage, who can access it, or both. Now again, this is just one state. The same thing is probably happening where you live. Politicians are going out of their way to suppress access to body cam footage precisely because they understand that it is devastating for the fake narratives they want to push.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

And that's not Even getting into YouTube's

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

various efforts to demonetize body cam footage. These activists are so desperate, as we discussed, that in some cases they're simply ignoring the body cam footage and proceeding

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

with their narratives anyway. Imagine what would happen if they successfully

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

eliminated these cameras entirely or suppressed access to the footage.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

People have gotten used to paying too

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

much for their phone bill. It's one of the excuses, one of the expenses that people assume nothing can be done about. They say they stay with the same wireless company year after year, even while the prices keep climbing.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Truth is, you do have options.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

In a recent industry survey, PureTalk was the only wireless company to earn five stars in every category. Coverage, support, value and data. That really tells you something. Good service shouldn't be rare. Neither should speaking to a real person when you need help. PureTalk has a dedicated US based customer service team. Don't even get me started on that. And when it comes to value, the average family of four saves more than $1,000 each year compared to the major wireless carriers. Right now is a great time to make the switch.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

For a limited time, you can get

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

a PureTalk plan, including unlimited data for just $15 a month for your first three months. There's no contract, just a better wireless company at a much better price.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Simply go to PureTalk.com Walsh to claim this offer.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Again, that's PureTalk.com Walsh to start saving today.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Back to school season serves as a

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

reminder on how important it is to get a good night's sleep. Suddenly the alarm goes off earlier. The days get busier. It's a lot harder to prioritize sleep well, that's one reason I've been using a Helix mattress.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

I sleep better.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

I wake up feeling more rested, and that's something that I just won't compromise on. Helix has more than 20 different mattress models and they make it easy to find the right one. You take a quick sleep quiz and they match you based on how you actually sleep, your sleeping position, whether you sleep hot or cold, your firmness preference, and you know when you're sleeping on a mattress that's designed for you instead of one that just is Designed for any random person. The numbers tend to speak for themselves. Every Helix mattress comes with free shipping, a 120 night free sleep trial, and the Helix happiness guarantee. You know, if it's not the right fit, well, they'll make it right. And right now, Helix is giving my listeners Labor Day early access. Go to helixleep.comwalsh for 20% off site wide. That's helixleep.comwalshfor 20% off sitewide. No matter what your position is on mass surveillance in general, these body cams are clearly in the public interest.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

We should be able to surveil what police officers are doing and what criminals are doing. You should be very suspicious of anyone who says otherwise, especially as we're coming

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

up on the midterms. You can expect a new intense effort to fabricate many more narratives in the next few weeks. They'll try to manufacture a new fake narrative every day until they get what they want, which is racial violence. Body cams stand in their way. Body cams prevent them from convincing, you know, convincing anyone that their foot soldiers were just out for a jog at 3am Going for a walk when they were really terrorizing an entire neighborhood. Body cams prevent them from pretending that whites commit as much crime as blacks and Hispanics. Body cams are fatal to every single

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

one of their narratives.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

And for that reason, because the truth is their mortal enemy, they want to

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

get rid of them.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

They want to charge YouTube channels thousands of dollars for simply looking at the footage. It's a very calculated and deliberate effort that almost nobody is talking about. It's a threat to a wealth of information about something the left desperately wants to keep hidden, which is the reality of living in the United States all these decades after the civil rights movement and mass migration. They've made life hell for millions of Americans. And no matter what they tell you about the surveillance state or racial profiling or whatever other excuse they use, Americans

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

have a right to see what these

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

people have done to their country. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Talk to you tomorrow.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Have a great day. Godspeed.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Once upon a time, there was a country. Not just a country, but a big one.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

An empire.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

In that empire, there was an upper middle class family where two boys were

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

raised by their mother loved books, Uncle

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Tom's Cabin and the Bible.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Their father admired the country's leaders.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Patriotic and happy, both sons went to

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

universities where they were radicalized.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

One of the brothers read a book and convinced him to try to shoot the country's leader. He was hanged. The other brother read the same books, but decided to lead a movement.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

First they came for the union universities, and no one seemed to care.

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

Then they took over the unions, and again no one seemed to care. Then they created their own media organizations and took over the cities, and again, most people just ignored it.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

Change, after all, was something they could

[Narrator/Commentator 1]

believe in until it was too late. Sound familiar? This is the real history of communism.

[Narrator/Commentator 2]

The Russian Revolution.
