So I'm going to show a short video,
and then read a few more on the--
Between us, between strangers, our civic contract states.
We will act in each other's best interests for no other reason
than we are here together.
Beaver Creek 9-1-1, where's your emergency?
I'm at the Beaver Creek Walmart, there's
a gentleman walking around with a gun in the store.
It's he got it pulled out?
Yeah, he's like pointing it at people.
What did they look like?
He's a Black male probably about six-foot tall.
OK.
What's he wearing?
He's wearing Blue pants.
Where is that now?
He's over in the [? pack ?].
And you, Can we have your name please?
My name is Ronald Ritchie.
The alliance we pledged is to one another,
assurance is taken.
Can I trust you?
Assurance is taken.
Different from and similar to each other.
There what's going on?
In the story.
Four police officers are here they're on the scene.
All right.
There's shots fired.
Over here, going--
Whatever the precise thinking behind the question,
the question is as deep within us.
We recognize that inevitably I am going
to have to put my trust in me.
Stop, listen to me.
OK.
All right.
We're going to go try this again.
But this time we're going to move in, take control.
Here, help take control with me.
It's nothing.
Watch his feet.
I don't want anybody hurt.
Get him on his feet.
Walk.
Walk on your own.
Sergeant, you're choosing the wrong--
6130 for the--
716.
All right, 768.
She's not a regular one, though.
I'm going up by this one.
It's easier to walk.
Now entering through the elevator.
Yeah, well, we got-- whatever we got, man.
Giving you an opportunity to stand up.
If you want, stand up.
Just stand up.
Will you stand up?
All right, well, what?
Not complying.
--walking by.
OK.
Radio, 12's on that site that is south of Michigan there.
Walking by and doing what?
Well, you're making people nervous.
By walking by?
Yeah, they said you had your hands in your pockets.
Wow, walking by having your hands in your pockets
makes people nervous to call the police when
it's snowing outside.
OK.
So are you OK?
I'm fine.
How about you?
I'm good.
All right.
What are you up to today?
Walking with my hands in my pockets.
Walking.
Let me see your license, please.
Get out of the car!
Get out the car!
[GUNSHOTS]
Get on the ground.
Get on the ground!
I just got my license.
You said get my license.
I got my license.
It's right here.
That's my license, right there.
Put your hands behind your back.
put your hands behind your back.
What did I do, sir?
Are you hit?
I think so.
I can't feel my leg.
I don't know what happened.
I just grabbed my license.
Rachel on 866, I need a 1052.
Why did you-- why did you shoot?
We got pulled over for a busted tail
light in the back and the police just, he's covered,
he killed my boyfriend.
He's license he's carried so he's licensed to carry.
He was trying to get out his ID in his wallet out his pocket
and he let the officer know that he was re-- he had a firearm
and he was reaching for his wallet,
and the officer just shot him in his arm.
We're waiting for a back--
I will, sir.
No worries, I will.
He just shot his arm off.
We got pulled over on Larpenteur.
I told him not to reach for it.
I told him to get his head out.
He had-- you told him get his ID, sir, his driver's license.
Please don't tell me he's gone.
Please, Jesus, no.
Please no.
It's OK, I'm right here with you.
Don't let him be gone, Lord.
We're sending an 11.
You're open.
Lord, God, please pray for us.
Jesus, please, y'all.
I ask everybody on Facebook, everybody that's watching,
everybody that's tuned in, please pray for us.
"We're circling the understanding
that daily we have to take a leap of faith regarding you.
In order that we can go on believing in our mobility.
Trust is what pledging and allegiance secures.
Public trust relies on both an implicit understanding
and a mode of seeing.
Someone is paying attention.
Someone is watching.
See."
Oh, shit.
They got their guns out.
Damn.
"If you see something, say something
because we will trust you.
Peace of mind gives us the ability to move through our day
without fear.
It keeps us in our rhythms.
It gives us an air of confidence regarding an illusory control
of the world around us.
We understand what will happen next.
And this is crucial to a sense of well-being,
even if this control is no control at all.
When something occurs that disallows the taking
for granted of one's own safety when something happens,
when that thing happens."
So what's your business with me right now?
I want to find out who you are and what
the problem was back there.
There is no problem that's the thing
So talk to me, let me know who you are--
And let you know.
--and you could be on your way.
Why do I have to let you know who I am to le--
who I am isn't the problem.
Because that's what police do when they get called.
I don't have to let you--
well, I know my rights first off.
Secondly--
OK.
--secondly, I don't have to let you know who I am
if I haven't broken any laws.
I told you, like I told him, I'm going to New Horizons
to pick up my kids at 10 o'clock.
I was sitting there for 10 minutes,
like not before he walked up to me or anything.
He walked up to me a minute after and got irate with me.
OK.
So first off, that's a public area
and if there's no sign that doesn't say,
"This is a private area.
You can't sit here," no one can tell me I can't sit there.
If that's the case and I can't sit here.
The problem was--
There is no-- the problem is I'm Black.
That's the problem.
"We might find discomfort in loss of comfort.
We might lose and ease of movement around another.
The perceived inability to trust another.
No one wishes his or her sense of trust violated.
Each time we pass through our public spaces,
the question presents as a gentle nudge
against an unconscious reliance on public trust.
Would you, could you, should you trust?"
No, you don't have the right.
Step out of the car.
You do not have the right to do that.
I do have the right.
Now, step out or I will remove you.
I refuse to talk to you other than to identify myself.
Step out or I will remove you.
I am getting removed for a failure--
Stepping out or I will remove you.
I'm giving you a lawful order.
Get out of the car now or I'm going to remove you.
And I'm calling my--
I'm going to get you out of here.
OK, you going to get me out of my car?
Get out.
OK.
All right.
45.
Let's--
Let's, let's do this.
Yeah, we're going to.
Don't touch me.
Get out of the car.
Don't touch me.
I'm not under arrest.
You don't have the right to--
You are under arrest.
I'm under arrest for what?
For what?
25 to 7 County.
I've got a 1098--
For what?
--simulated unit.
Get out of the car.
You need another unit for the 1098?
Get out of the car now.
Why am I being apprehended?
You're trying to get me into your car.
I said get out of the car.
Why am I being apprehended?
I'm giving you a lawful order.
I'm going to drag you out of here.
So are you going to drag me out of my own car.
Get out of the car!
I will light you up.
Get out, now.
Wow,
Get out.
"As we daily move through our streets,
and our Parks, across bridges, in the aisles of stores,
anywhere and everywhere we live, a simple truth
and a basic understanding exists.
When I walked toward you, it's one of the reasons
I'm interested in.
As we turn to each other, It's one of the reasons
I'm interested in.
Each second inside are unspoken question.
Is one of the reasons I'm interested in.
Can I trust you?"
