She said something to him, so I looked and then I went back to her and I was like, "Can you please Can you get him cuz I think he was trespassed before?"

So, but you you heard a commotion, you looked outside and you said you saw her you saw heard the taser What did it sound like? Okay. And then um you said you the man was like fighting with her, struggling with her. Okay. And then you walked away at that point. And you didn't see anything else. Okay. >> The suspect, Brandon McRae, was arrested and charged with multiple offenses >> I've been >> including attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, >> Mhm. >> robbery with a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. In June 2026, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. >> I already knew that, bro. The the boys in blue they go take up for each other. And I already knew you were going to get some time on that. Yeah, and you already a felon too. Yeah, your time up. I I already knew that was going to happen. But I'm going to say this and I said this on one of my old body cam videos that I reacted to. And some people might get offended about it, especially women because women uh want equal rights and I can understand that. But I am my strong belief is I don't think women should be police officers or patrol officers out in on duty. I think they should be behind the desk uh calling in the calls or dispatch or something. Or if they are needed, like something's big going on and they they need to come out. Yeah. But I just don't think they should be patrol officers because of situations like this. There's some strong men out here. There's some strong women, don't get me wrong. But you dealing with a bunch of men sometimes and you the only patrol officer. Man, them men them men can handle you and you going to eventually have to shoot them. You know what I'm saying? And I'm not saying that I'm not saying to put down women, but hey, there's some men out here that you cannot handle. You may lift weight, she may be strong, you may have some masculinity in you, but there's some strong people out here. Say there's two or three dudes coming at you. What you going to do other than shoot them? Do you know what I'm saying? And then you may have a family and you need to be home with your family. You may have kids, you know, stuff like that. I just don't believe women should be patrol officers. And this is a prime example why. I did another video when this lady patrol officers, um, she looked like a nerd. And I'm like, what are you out here for? You like you like you've been you need to be behind a desk, man, like doing something else. And this it was this lady at the bus stop and she got into altercation with her and the ladies just slapped her and beat her up almost. And she handled her and I was like she shouldn't have been the only officer out there. That woman actually handled her and I was like, man, what you doing? Like no, be man, just just do something different. Be be behind the desk, man, and if you they need you, be out there. I'm just saying. Women don't come for me because I know everybody want equal rights and women should feel like, well, our man can do it, I can do it, too. I just don't agree with that all the time. You got you got the capabilities of doing it, but that don't mean you should be doing it. Do you get what I'm saying? Leave some stuff for the men. This this is a job for the men. Leave some things for the men. That's all I'm saying. Um, but let me go back to something, too, cuz I don't want uh my people to think that I'm talking bad about them, but I am putting the mirror to your face. I'm not judging nobody. Um, but when I see women come out the door looking like that with bonnets on and looking kind of trashy, I'm like, man, why you walking out the door like that, man? They already think bad about us already. They always look at us in a certain kind of light. You making it worse by coming out with a shower cap on. And then the way y'all dressed, the generation just want to be naked. They just want to show their skin all the time. Like, there's no class, man. I told my mom something other day. I said, "Mama, you know, I think you're the last generation of women who walk out the door and just want to dress classy and with their clothes on and be sexy. This generation want to be seen so much. I got to be naked. It's hot." Y'all use the excuse of being hot. You ain't hot. You just You just a hoe. But, anyway, >> [laughter] >> now, sorry, y'all. I ain't called I ain't seen the whole word. They just You just want to show your body. Stop that, man. You know, it be hot, but I still have my pants on. You know what I'm saying? It be hot, but you don't have to be naked. And you don't have to look like that, man. Y'all Some of y'all just look like trashy AF. That's all I'm saying. We just want to want people to do better, man. That's all. I'm not here to criticize. I ain't like the other channels. Uh you know what I'm saying? They want to talk about our people. I'll talk about you, but at the same time, I want to build you up, too. I just want you to be better, man. Y'all just It's sad, man, how how we act and it's sad how we just can't get stuff together. And I'm just tired of uh people looking at us like all of us are the same. I get tired of everybody just looking at us in a bad light uh because we don't have good representation out here anymore. You see a bunch of trash. You see a bunch of ratchetism. I got to make up all kind of words. And we just want the world to be the way it used to be, man. Like, I just want to see more class, dignity, and pride. And again, also, I am surprised this is not common with ninjas. Somebody telling on another black person? That is very uncommon, man. That's why I said that in the beginning. I'm shocked. But, hey, was that hard, though? That man got 30 years. Was that hard to do, peep? If you see something wrong, talk. Thank y'all for being here.
