Yeah, I mean, anyone can watch the video which has been playing over and over and over again so everyone can see I didn't lay hands on any officers. I did not assault anyone. What I had done five times previously was just escort people out of the building from their hearing to the elevator outstairs and down and outside. That's all I was attempting to do. I asked to see the judicial warrant and I hope to escort him out of the building. What does it mean to have a judicial warrant? (03:35–03:45)
