the street when they get like how i am
now and i see them out there like that i
stood
like i would get a good date and i would
tell them come on let's
when we get there
[Music]
there are a lot of people on the street
who are suffering in a variety of ways
on a daily basis
the sad thing about our society is that
sometimes the only people who treat
those individuals with any kind of
dignity and respect
are the police officers they encounter
on a daily basis
that's what you're going to see on the
video today
9-1-1 what's the address of your
emergency
i'm at westgate park and the
parking lot
portion of it

seizure or a drug

when i'm walking so i'm tired as soon as
i lay down in bed i'm gonna go back
where do you normally stay at
wherever i can got you i used to have my
eggs
across from wendy's that's where i was
living until we broke up
[Music]
when
how long ago
like
[Music]
when you saw me and you went back in
why'd you go back in
honestly honestly give me the truth
because you're not in any trouble with

[Music]
if i don't find any
hard in here
[Music]
have you gone to rehab before
so here's another question for you
and i'm gonna be honest with you okay
do you want shakeology what are you

well you should because there's listen
listen
well that's what i mean there's good
stuff in here
i don't even know
it will help you be
uh in good shape i mean keep you
because what you're doing yeah what
you're doing is going to deplete your
body so
[Music]
yeah i know you have so here's my
question for you
do you want me to arrest you so you can
go to jail and get clean no i just got
out though
[Music]
well you got to get clean
you understand what i'm saying to you
no you're going to have dead out here

you're just
doing what you do that's no problem
[Music]
klaus knows me very well all the
confidence yeah yeah yeah yeah
eric and i are close friends
we're friends
so
here's here's why i say what i do
you're talking to me normal which is
amazing to me how the drugs work because
like you're moving around right i can't
help it no i know
it's the drugs
your mind's working fine
it's amazing to me
absolutely
i just got worked up like i said i
started arguing with that dude and when
i started arguing and yelling my blood
pressure went high obviously because i
was upset that's when i just started
moving like that
i wasn't moving like that before i got
that argument either
you can't do this in in a public
restroom
because you've got kids you've got
people
you know what i'm saying
and people need to use that they've got
kids there's a shelter house here
i can't i can't be having you do this in
here
i know you're not i know you're not
doing disrespectful
but you gotta you gotta deal with that
in a different way
[Music]
[Music]
because when you leave that stuff in
here
you know what kids when you were a kid
you you wouldn't want to see this stuff
right
but what i'm saying is you wouldn't want
it
no
you wouldn't want to see it if you were
a kid
sure
[Music]
[Music]

i've helped
i carry a narcan with me all the time i
don't think narcan's going to work on

just don't feel comfortable leaving you
here once you hook up with him yeah and
you guys i was just waiting on him okay
all right
i was waiting i was changing and then
i've been waiting
for me in my house
yeah
yeah klaus and i are friends we've
worked together for a long time yeah
he always checked and see if i'm alright
klaus is my friend
well i care about her and i want to make
sure she gets to where she needs to go
she doesn't get hurt
um i didn't have to give him my social
or my name because he had no problem
with cause i literally just got i walked
out of the water market and lit a
cigarette and he pulled up on me with he
had some partner with him mm-hmm and he
was like what's up kk where you been now
why are you back out here you're looking
pretty rough
i've seen you because just like three
months ago

haven't walked i wasn't walking the
block
and
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
well you got cut with something bad
right now
something different
that's why i think so it is too i
believe it was but i used to shoot
how does it make you feel right now
what's going through your head right now
so you you just
[Music]
months and then i see him when it was
raining i got in the car to do a date
right i mean he didn't want pay me so he
ended up doing that to me but that's why
my thumbs
oh i see yeah yeah everybody when he did
that from the taser i have permanent
nerve damage and my body jumps to
twitches like this because of that
right but when i do certain drugs like
math or something if i get too up it
triggers me to start
moving how much did you do just an hour
ago
just a dime
it was definitely cut with something man
but i tasted it like i
i knew it was kind of messy
so you mix it with the kool-aid though
that's crack
if i shoot my crack
gotcha
to break it down
gotcha
gotcha all right do you want to go with
him yeah all right i'm sorry hey you

i'm also going to
um yes
i'm going to forward your name on to
some folks that i know they've got
resources and when they see you
out here
they'll come up to you and and
i think you're comfortable with all of
us oh yeah
sometimes actually i'm actually one of
the girls that stopped and let them pray
for me
it's awesome
i think
because
i appreciate what they're doing
we do care about you
yep
[Music]
but unfortunately
[Music]
well back then it was hard and you know
i didn't know back then
you're not going to die most likely on a
20 guitar
you're not i mean it's not
likely for somebody to die
but i
[Music]
but
parts i'm like um
if you shoot up then i'm gonna do it i
thought
if you loved me and i said that he
wouldn't shoot up the world
i'll be down
he grabbed my arm and he shot me up with
some rants and that's all it took yeah
because
it took all my paint
yeah
so that's why i started doing it and
then when i turned 15
and
we went and lived with his grandma and
derp city at her house
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
went myself
i was going to survive something right
here but um i missed twice and got
kicked out
so then i went to the one on lincoln
village and that is the most ghetto and
shrushiest [ __ ] one ever like i
couldn't stand that place
and they even said like a lot of people
complain about them so i was like i'm
not coming back here
but what was really unprofessional about
it is my counselor was a man and the
first thing he said to me because i was
moving like this yeah because they said
my dad was a mess obviously and the
first thing out of his mouth was did you
do math or something because you were
tweaking right now and that hurt my
feelings and then i'm uncomfortable like
you keep asking me about my ptsd like me
being raped and i already answered you
but you keep taking it further and
further and i just told you i don't want
to talk
i wouldn't stop where i was because i
wasn't comfortable and he he's not
respect that so i know sure sure
you're just rude unprofessional
yeah
well let me apologize for what i said
when i first met you too then
no it's okay no it's not it's not the
right way to act so i apologize for that
but without knowing you i wasn't sure
what i was dealing with but again
but and i understand but you know what
it you're still a person and i shouldn't
i shouldn't have done that so
[Music]
wow you know i have three daughters
i do and how old are you
and
that makes me care more about you so
i'm so sorry all this has happened to
you
it's not right
look me up anytime you need help with
anything
[Music]
i'll do what i can okay
know there's just words right now but if
i find you please don't be afraid of me
i'm going to talk to you nicely
and get along with you and do whatever i
can to help
all right
good i'm glad you got friends that uh
wear uniform
they know me really well they they're
funny
i was in a swat race
like like a year ago after that we
[Music]
you don't deal with pat anymore do you
no i don't i don't
white boy pat is my nemesis
[Music]
myself
[Music]
[Music]
people's pockets
and at the end of the day these devils
don't care about me
because when i'm in jail they don't even
put my hand with us
i can't even get them sorry i saw the
answer
nope you won't you won't because you're
not worth anything to them when you're
locked up
[Music]
[Music]

want to hook up with this guy and um

disheartening and bothersome to me let
me do that let me shout that for you

two years ago

opportunity like i would never do this
