You don't have to do that. I almost fell back. You don't have to do that to me. First of all, and I wasn't >> I know things escalated pretty quick. So I I'll I'll try to explain to you what I'll do. >> I tried to push him back and now he's saying I swung at him. No, you pushed me to the point where I stumbled all the way back here. I'm a female. >> I I saw that happen. >> 20-y old female. You don't have to put your hands on me like 20? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um so I'm going to take this purse off. You okay? Actually, I'm going to uncuff you first. We'll step off to this counter. Okay. >> I'm going to put some gloves on. Okay. So I'm going to walk you through why those things happened. Okay. And I know it it's not going to help the situation. It's not going to help you feel better, but I'll tell you just for future reference so that way you understand where the police why why we behave the way we do because if I just yell at you, I don't think that's constructive. Right. I don't think that's going to help us get any better. >> I was talking to him, but she was also talking to me. So, it's not like I wasn't complying. >> No, she wasn't. >> He's talking to me and this lady is screaming at me. >> It's just in that case, I know you just got to listen to what he's saying and I know it's hard to do sometimes. Okay. >> But at least nowations it it so you were trying to kind of focus on two things at once, right? So you were just involved in some crazy thing and then all of a sudden you're you're talking back and forth with that other lady, right? And then we show up, right?

So we don't want further fights to happen. So what that officer did, he stepped towards you. He says, "Hey, stay back." Okay? And then I step towards the other person say, "Hey, stay back." So she's not coming towards me or anything, but she's tripping at you, right? So that's probably what's distracting you. But when that officer gives you a command to stay back and then you advance, right? So that's so he I so he pushed you back and then you advance once more. Okay? And that's the reason you were placed under arrest. Okay? Cuz by by placing your it's unlawful to to put your hands on a law enforcement officer in that fashion. >> Is it okay for him to push the shot? I mean like that if he gives you if he gives you the verbal command to do so, I I think so. While the phrase if it's okay or not, it it it is situation dependent, right? I didn't see exactly what happened. So, um that can be decided later on, okay? Because there'll be a court date for this. But once we get this figured out, you you will be released today, okay?
