00:00Uh, Tyree kill Leroy, just speaking to the media.
00:03And, um, this is what he said at an ongoing press conference.
00:07He said, quote, could have been better.
00:10I couldn't let down my window in that instance.
00:12He didn't want cameras and phones on him in the moment.
00:14This from Barry Jackson's Twitter, by the way, but I've got to follow the
00:17rules and do what everybody else does.
00:19Did that give him a right to beat, to literally beat the dog out of me?
00:22Absolutely not, but I wish I could go back and do things a bit differently.
00:27He also, uh, says that he is working on a plan to, uh, work with police.
00:33He still loves cops.
00:33He said, quote, I want to be a cop.
00:36He called the incident shell shocking.
00:39It's crazy that there are officers who will do this with a body cam zone.
00:42It's really sad.
00:43Would have been even crazier if they didn't have body cams.
00:47Uh, he says he's not going to protest Thursday night's game.
00:50He's not going to take a knee.
00:51He's not asking to defund the police.
00:54And he does say though, the, uh, the one officer who's on administrative leave,
00:59he wants him quote, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
01:03He's got to go.
01:04Not only did he treat me bad.
01:06He also treated my teammates with disrespect, had crazy words towards them
01:10and they didn't even do anything.
01:11He's got to go, man.
01:14He does.
01:16He does.
01:18Right.
01:18Because let me ask you this.
01:24Make what the, the officer did an athlete.
01:29We would be right now still talking about why hasn't anything been done.
01:37Right.
01:37It wouldn't have got this far before something had to be done.
01:42And that's where the union, and that's with the same protections
01:47this police officer has.
01:48You have police, a police union to protect you in situations, but not
01:55situations where you aren't being a police officer, they're protecting
01:59police officers, he wasn't a police officer in that moment.
02:02He was an angry man for whatever reason.
02:07And, and, and what you do is, is that I've, you know what, if I ever get
02:12stopped as a black man, I'm getting arrested for whatever reason, I'm
02:17getting out of my car and getting on the ground with my face down.
02:21And that cop could think too much, right?
02:24I said, you try to be a black man in this country with the police, right?
02:28Like, no, you, you, you know, they, they see, I think somebody in the police
02:36department or anywhere needs to make a statement along the lines of dear
02:42dear citizens, this type of behavior is not allowed by the police.
02:51Nobody said that.
02:53I have seen other police departments do it that like from locally.
02:57Like I've seen the County police departments have come out
03:00against it and things like that.
03:02Um, the only statement that was, that was, you know, that I, that was
03:07defending it was his union, which he's actually a board of directors member of.
03:13Wait, the guy who, uh, they got, No, no, no.
03:19So let's be clear.
03:26We not only have a police officer, but we have a police officer up here.
03:34Yeah.
03:34He's been that way.
03:35He's been a cop for like 27 years and he's on the board of directors.
03:40And he's on the board of directors of the police union.
03:44Yes.
03:45The one that put out the statement and you co-signed, he probably put his own statement
03:48out.
03:49Oh yeah.
03:50Maybe he's on the board of directors.
03:51I'm sure that he knows whoever put out the statement, I would guess.
03:54So they're probably friends of his, I would guess colleagues.
03:58So how do we hit like, so is everybody going to tiptoe around it because of that?
04:04Or are we going to treat the act as the act?
04:06See what I'm saying?
04:07I don't know.
04:08I know his attorney has come out and he has said that he wants immediate reinstatement.
04:12So his defense that he has put to him, you know, and then Tyreek side has said, yeah,
04:18they want them terminated.
04:19So I don't know that's, you know, that's, and that is kind of where, like when you have
04:22a union, that is where this is kind of in limbo right now.
04:26I'm sure there's going to be the process of all this playing out.
04:29I don't know.
04:30I don't know what's going to happen because I don't think, I don't think the, I don't
04:34know what, like the process of, of, of a department firing a police officer over this
04:37is I'm just letting you know, I'm not saying it's right or wrong, you know, it's amazing
04:43by this.
04:46I would love to see them put this video in this proper context because you have a man
04:55who was not aggressive, right?
05:00That basically he didn't listen to the police is why he got snatched up and dragged to the
05:08ground twice, right?
05:11That's it.
05:12He wasn't a combatant.
05:14He wasn't aggressive, none of that.
05:18That's amazing.
05:19I would love to see this.
05:21He was a choked pinch, kicked all of that during his handcuffing.
05:27And then, um, the one piece of health news, we all heard him say that he just had surgery
05:31on his knee.
05:32He said that he did have an off-season procedure on his knee while in Antigua, they quote,
05:36just some stem cells injected into my body.
05:38A lot of people don't know about it because I was going to just be on the low with it.
05:44So there you go.
05:46That is a health status.
05:47All right.
05:48We'll take them.
05:49Like they got rougher when he said I had surgery.
05:50Well, yeah, I told him to get surgery on his knees.
05:51Man.
05:52And then, Oh, then they just let him go with a parking ticket, which would, it should have
06:01been in the beginning.
06:02Yep.
06:03Oh, that was another thing too.
06:04Yeah.
06:05Everybody, uh, that was confirmed yesterday because everybody kept saying he was driving
06:07over a hundred and, uh, they said on the ticket, it said 60.
06:13And that was just, that wasn't even with radar.
06:14That was done by visual.
06:16So he eyeballed it.
06:18Yeah.
06:19No.
