| 0:00.0 | Which of the stories is most traumatizing and harrowing for you to go through? |
| 0:21.1 | Yeah, definitely a tough one to answer. I think the story of |
| 0:26.0 | Danny Ray Thomas is a particularly tough one. It deals with mental health as many of |
| 0:32.3 | these cases tend to. |
| 0:34.4 | Danny Ray Thomas, I think what really hits hard for me |
| 0:37.4 | is that he spent most of his life homeless. |
| 0:40.0 | His mother died in early age. |
| 0:41.6 | His father was incarcerated shortly thereafter so him and his sister basically raised each other on the streets in Houston and they had been through so much and then he finally you know had some kids and had a wife he ends up going to |

| 1:40.4 | one day wake up and see my cousin as one of these people. |
| 1:46.1 | The police violence crisis has been going on for decades, but ever since Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner and Michael Brown, things have been |
| 1:57.9 | getting hotter and hotter. And Black Lives Matter has risen up to try to combat that and yet still more and more people |
