00:00I will say I could have been better, I could have let down my window in that instant.
00:06But the thing about me is, man, I don't want attention.
00:12I don't wanna be cameras out, phones on you in that moment.
00:17But at the end of the day, I'm human, I gotta follow rules.
00:24I gotta do what everyone else would do.
00:31So now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me?
00:37Absolutely not.
00:38But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and
00:45do things a bit differently.
00:47It's shell shocking, man.
00:49It's really crazy to know that you have officers in this
00:55world that would literally do that with body cams on.
01:02It's sad, it's really sad, which brings up another conversation and
01:08leads into what would they do if they didn't have body cams, which is even crazier.
01:14So it's a lot to unpack, man, it's a lot to unpack.
01:20It's a lot we can learn.
01:21I think in football, how we get better from things is,
01:25we watch the tape and we get better from it.
01:28In this instance, we should do the same.
01:33A lot of people wanna critique, a lot of people wanna criticize,
01:35a lot of people wanna do this.
01:36But I think this can be a learning tool for everybody.
01:41Everybody, civilians, officers around the world,
01:48how to do conduct whenever they pull people over, we all can learn, man.
01:54We in this thing together, we live in this thing, we on earth together.
01:58So the only way we get better is, A, we hold ourselves accountable and
02:04we get better from it.
02:06That's how I get better at football, so.
