in the situation very seriously and experienced the losses that we occur from time to time back. so continues to write with the from line just a few miles up the road. the children up don't yet have the same hopes and dreams as those across the world to be safe to be happy phone environments in which they can thrive. but those hopes and dreams are being shunted by the continued supply of western weapons. this is steve sweeney for all to in. don't yet, city not as a rap for this of excuse me, company auto dot com is the place for you if you want more on those stories or just for analysis. so checking out on the the

us anyway, wait a minute or will it bag middle school and get arrested? is substation we fix, hey, i go to adult, present the process. we can do all the round work time. it has a light light, then we know it would be 2 weeks to south carolina and go back to new york to henderson. there's the 3 weeks to south carolina. go back to new york, have some business including but not limited to policy. so eventually i just relocated because there was a bigger conversation and i just couldn't walk away from it. so may of 2016. we started a full organization, every black girl. every black girl started off as a campaign to get the charges dropped. to start looking at how to shift school

culture when it comes to push out and this mental disturbance go along the once the investigation was on, i took everything and i presented it to dan johnson. who is the solicitor who is the chief prosecutor originally across all county, or he looked at the case to decide if in fact there was enough to charge probable cause to charge me with the crime. and this particular situation,

the whole party is cleared may of any wrongdoing. mm. the . okay. for my master's degree, i was the university of south carolina. i was looking at how the land

hold trauma. there's trauma across this land. and nature has taken it over. but the issues still remain because history doesn't work the same way that nature, the past lives in the present. wow. you can see hundreds of acres of rice field here built on the backs of the slave labor force. these african engineers, right that had been brought from the rice coast of africa, 3000 miles across the ocean. and bring people here. and i brought you here cuz you asked me to bring why here for you, why do you want to get here? as an african american, you know, your yeah, history stop is at a point, you know, so much as not documented any absence of records and names

and in the absence of other ways to connect to your history. the land. you know, this is how you connect to that history. you can see the where in, in it's not just black people when they can see like the neglect and how it manifest in people in groups and communities and cultures. and how you go into some communities, black and brown communities, you see is dilapidated, like the right. or you can see the, the, the lack of care that this investment in aware that accumulates from that. yeah. murphy island is a big place. and it holds a very ugly history, but it's being conveniently washed away. it's

a will for neglect. i think it allows these ugly histories to be ignored, and to be sweat under the right. we have to recognize that slavery is white people's history to the spring valley, scratched away a scan of memories from 50 years ago. somehow people assume that we're turn the corner and meet with god to a place where people young people will be taught and will be safe and secure as it is, it somehow got tired of the video on facebook. so i started reading the comments or possibly it's up some fast on the, on the back, some of this, some of the shipping i've just got about

a rough, normal and lots of them look up to me. which i feel like i'm in a lot better place. not going through a lot, but i'm have to pull through but i want to do well. but i will talk to the issues on which is like, you need to keep moving the situation who is stopping from door to right. how you doing what you desire to be after you just hi everyone else. i can't seem to let everybody else live. i'll live, never saw all i need to know. and that's another reason why i've started school,

you know, are to seen a program because the strong, i feel, i mean, has next because she didn't or some of the same thing are they were not sure how i lived that moment. and this moment as time had i been born in this moment in time, the moment that she meant i live, i remember being so tired at school that day. mister smith said a math problem and i don't like math. i didn't understand what he says are restored . to my friend, now what do you see and how i understand what he told us to do. he said, vivian, there you go again. and i'm like, no, i just don't understand what you're saying. you always get smart. you always talk is something you always doing is i grew up in time, a corporal punishment. right. and i was like, no,

you just don't make sense to me. i don't understand that actually, no, i got a smart mouth, but i wasn't trying to be smart. i just did not understand and that night on that day i was really tired. and he was like, i got something for you and he pulled out the title because we used to be able to get paddled. and i was like, not today. yeah, i don't know what i went through last night. i ran from a brother all night. i'm not. nobody's touching me so many hidden me. not this. i mean i had to raise me around the whole classroom. and so he got hired and he said, i'm tired, you me? there's definitely a social worker called me and so her, she changed for a relationship for school forever. what if somebody just asked the girl what? yeah, cuz i was her. i remember like, no, i just got beat last night. i got talk to some place assignment for what besides, what is somebody's just this little girl was going on? like i don't remember it's home up to the 3rd age of 13. i want to fire somebody

off my black body, my black female body, and then i was punished because i wanted to dress pants because i'm like, like i don't pass, you can't get up there, easy enough. so when i bought a video, a lot of stuff came from me and i was like, oh they don't get to walk too slow. i know what it means to margaret alone. they don't have no. and then you said no, you don't treat her like this. and then you get arrested. oh, come on on not, not, not like here's good to be beautiful in love. then they get to fill their full expression to themselves and not feel like to oh if i'm not this, i'm not ok. they were board whole perfect, complete. it's up to us to keep it like not the it's our refund. the

okay. if i looked in in a row, be very clear. when this went down was i like oh, there's a grown man who just assaulted a child. yes. i did for a girl who wouldn't get out of her chair. right. right. that's a child. i got this little girl. is there any other way that this could have gone down? this is like just insane. and i still can't understand how it hasn't been likes to car. i apologize. it shouldn't look different. there hasn't been apology. i think she is old. what of the the, you're critical of, of the situation in critical with me. i think that's fine. i was acting as a uniform police officer. obviously i was terminated for the, for the institute for the use of force because it sure felt like it was in proper. okay. but certainly it wasn't, you know, it wasn't no salt in any way, shape or form. you know, i was a political victim in this situation. mean i was cut loose pics politically. it

made sense? if i follow policy and procedure and i filed the law, there's nothing more i can do because that's my responsibility. that's the os that i took. i just continue to a law enforcement level stand by what it did either. so you say you came in from the eyes of a police officer. it didn't have to go that far. but if i'm looking at a criminal and not a child, yeah. can go that far because i read the report, the class wasn't really interrupted until this teacher got upset, but she wouldn't leave. why not remove the other kids and handle her because you said you've known her before, so it was some deeper stuff. so there could have been a light how, what is it that's making you not want to be? well, the certainly understand close to me the feel the same way you do about that situation when you talk about classroom management, things like that. so it's not the 1st time i've heard that, and that's fair. if i went to follow the patrol, when i called to a movie theater to ru, somebody from movie theater, i would ask the movie theater before i went to

a restaurant and need to remove somebody from a restaurant, witness the restaurant, right? and so i viewed it from a police standpoint and that's, that's where we keep going back to the system that created this to happen. you haven't been my focus for the system has been my focus. i don't believe police to be in schools. there's no reason that you should have been called in period. all right, i got you. yeah. so let me, let me say a couple things. one is i would say obviously, you know, we, we know that and as far as school doesn't mean safety, i don't disagree with that. one of the biggest issues for me right now is the stickiness arose and schools weren't even trained properly. but because it goes back a little bit, it's okay to disappoint it is okay, the whole kids accountable. i'm not saying kids don't get to be held accountable. always tend is like what does that accountability look like? we should not have a law where kids are being arrested for things that they can't get arrested outside industries for the

the, the beauty of a story. these looked at all of them, the border of authority and yourself. originally, you spoke to the senior boy mean the one that should have. yep. pets again. so

facility based in yet periods which are likely to escape photos that then you finish industry to look at the building and grab it of steel, bundle ski at the, at the site. the goal of this, me a look at the new year of the as i said with a miss level that they use as see assessment readiness from one year of experience of foot levels to say in nearest the blue books and you for 90 percent of the time is that budget, so be 250000000000 space because you have to just cash the senior the to look at the system. what system are you referring to? you say the system we need to change the system. i hope you understand. so when i

say systems, i'm talking about governmental education, institutionalized, racism, all the policies, they recreate, all the laws that we create, that's what i mean about the system. okay? so, you know, you know, the systematic race isn't always kind of stuff. i think it's talking points, i think it sounds really good on its face, but it's one of those things where we're taking the noticed again off the kids and saying, hey, you're not responsible for your bad behavior. what we're going to do is we're going to blame it on the system. and one of the things that, you know, we, we looked at with the service law was brought up a lot. was additional force on that of black is we're rest of the white is right. and it just proportional amount of black kids were suspended to white kids. i mean, as you look as a whole, i mean, you or any school district, and that's gonna be the case. okay. why is that happening in europe? there is a tendency to think that black kids are automatically at bought. those one was run in the hallways and this little friend in the hallway. yes. this one got the discipline referral and that's what i was like. well, you know,

you can't do that is something going on. there's a way that where with young people, depending on if they're white versus children of color, and that's the best it says typically proven in, in the schools where the, where it was disproportional. they also have black deputies. how do you explain that? are these bodies black deputies and he's black teachers? are they part of the system that's hurting last name? then we talk about internalized oppression. so if i see that i've been trained all my life, that this is better than this. i push that same narrative and i act in accordance to so yeah, we can go all day on the problems. i don't, i can't talk about problems too much because we already know their, their focus is how do we trace solutions? how do we create solutions? and we keep talking about holding kids accountable, but we get to hold adults accountable to cuz we're responsible for the next generation we really are. right. so i think that's good. and i think that going back, somebody can make a point of the class. the

a child is barrier and i literally only came here to stay for 2 days. so to look out right now and to know what we've been doing and how many girls i got. so huh. i'm having a moment the say no matter what this world tells us you are, you are you are the

crowd because there's more so we are the 1st came to us by noon and there were some challenges ahead. she didn't want to sit in the classroom with her back toward the door. so i had to rearrange my classroom to make sure that she was comfortable for her, not the fear of someone coming up behind her. she expressed that, hey, i'm not getting that. and i told her neither like a reading teacher, but i told her i said if you put your mind to is something that you can do. it was almost 2 years that she had a word to accomplish this goal. she had just so many challenges before.

she just wants someone to care the once she figured out that hey, they care what i do and it matters what i do that made all the different the, the long row. if you use this is evidence that no matter what life throw into a mouse and as you can get past nothing that you can create. yeah . and have you to, thanks for a lot you've been like there is times where i can get to the doctor use like the 2nd mom to make sure i got there. you will not be away. no matter what time of day it was to be there. you know, i can come you and tell you everything and know a lot of our thoughts made me keep going. thank you. what happened to you should not happen to anybody? but like i told you from the beginning,

you got me for life. my life shifted totally changed on a 1000. so congress that we wouldn't have known and been able to reach. we've been able to reach rate. and so and i oh that's the that's what i said. so you got me for life. my word is my boss. so the, there are many people in this country, especially in south carolina who say, yeah, slavery's done. what's the big deal? right, why do black people act like as they're still in slain use array of slavery. the 1st lady was yesterday, so i can just and nobody is owning people any more. but we have inherited that mentality of racial oppression. this idea that

within our society, certain people belonging to certain places, black people belong in a subjugated space like they, they belong and they are in the under class of people. and if you're in the under class, then you do what you're told you don't challenge the system. and your face is to make white people comfortable by not talking about race by not acting out by not by changing the way we talk and changing the way we act. so the white people feel comfortable windows on said rooms of who belongs, where is challenged. that's when the wrap is felt the

the recent data source floyd, brianna, taylor, barbary or off fueling massive demonstrations. nationwide testers are demanding justice for black americans that have been basing systemic racism for the are now the don't. who gets the lead? what happens to spring valley? what brought us here around there with

a 2 year old girl watching 3 figures of like body and they know you can do yours. 17 year old blank girl. know you can do this. the nation just had the i keep saying it's not about being once again, this is bigger than him. he's a representation of what we see on a larger scale, but white america, he still doesn't understand the difference between accountability and blame. so as long as he thinks he's going to be blind, he's never going to say, oh, i see my role in

the face they've been was, has one bad apple? well no, this whole barrow is contaminated. as long as this start met the top, and that's a place where it's been granite permission. this is going to be another band on another day, the we the man, the police are so used to contact your mayor and your governor and tell them police officers to be removed

as social services education, our teachers because our lives depend on it. but also i'm very clear and i'm gonna get emotional. i know i am showing up for the fight for a long time. the 2nd point, i think we've actually skipped over. we don't change it now, but will never change it again. this is the moment the test today in downtown l. a. this time by students, they're pushing to eliminate the school police to be on the protesters. little march through oakland, california on tuesday demand police free one, pennsylvania and the education rights that work on the district to remove police from campuses, minneapolis school board that it would no longer use city police as school resource officer. the

so i'm headed to michigan in the middle of a pen demik because a girl who we are referring to is grace was arrested for failing to come. ringback to our online school work. ringback i prefer not to have to travel again in the hope is that won't even be an opportunity for me to go because there will be no more sure. cars and graces the the,

[000:00:00;00]

the show room just don't have to shape out the application and engagement because the trails when so many find themselves will support we choose to look so common ground. the as many predicted, his real sounds was on god's, it's triggering a much larger middle east complex. it appears being added states as willing to

fight israel's regional enemies. for israel. this is what joe biden's, blank chip, underwriting israel. actually the last to this decision will affect millions. it will also affect more than $30000.00 between why employees were fully committed to the values of the united nations and international humanitarian law. documents proving their commitment as, as riled them all in the united nation. really on was the agency is shot down in thoughts of a supposed to pass into moving ice age and exclude to beast health. ality it's role is, is vital and health and kind of stimulus divide from to human rights. organizations say often those who end up behind bars have nothing to do with the activities of the militant and sometimes not even wanted by israel with
