And when you think about again, why people are just saying enough is enough, the fact that you have Daniel Pantaleo in the Eric Garner case not losing. His job, had seven, eight complaints before he killed that man, which is crazy. And then The one who's actually having prosecution happened against him was the one who videotaped what was going on. That shows you that this, this is just nonsense what's happening in this manner. And so at all levels of this help me to understand how not one cop a part of the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore is having been. (31:58–32:04)
