| 0:00.0 | So quite interesting. And we have covered this case a great deal. And our position is, |
| 0:06.8 | and if you don't want to believe an old crotchety sergeant like myself that did a lot of |
| 0:13.0 | street time, six and a half years in plainclothes anti-crime as a cop and as a sergeant, |
| 0:18.8 | RIPP sergeant, robbery investigation program sergeant, |
| 0:22.1 | Detective Bureau Sergeant. |
| 0:23.7 | I have a lot of experience at this stuff and being on the street. |
| 0:28.8 | And when I hear the suggestions made by a lot of these legal talking heads, it's almost |
| 0:36.4 | laughable to me. And then you hear the media like parrots, |

| 1:50.5 | in and you do it every single day. So it's not a big deal to understand. And the problem is |
| 1:57.4 | they put a lot of, you know, unfortunately, they put a lot of information that is not correct out there. |
