you're 23 and you have a kid and you're
on SSI and you could get assistance to
get a house or a place to live if you
chose to stop using and use your money
to take care of you and your family and
get government help
[Music]
today's video is a follow-up to a video
I released a couple days ago on that
video somebody called in because they
were concerned about two people using
drugs on the back porch of a vacant home
the officers arrived on scene spoke to
the individuals at the end of the day
the male individual ended up going to
jail on his warrant the female had a
warrant that the officers were able to
set aside and release her with a new
court date the part of that video you
did not see is the part where the female
officer and the female suspect were
sitting on the back porch waiting for
the warrants to be verified and they had
a heart-to-heart conversation these
conversations happen every day between
police officers and suspects and its
citizens
in our country but they are rarely seen
it's her uh ticket out of us or no
[Music]
what do you need to do to get yourself
right

mirror lately no

because you use yeah see where the cycle
is
um
if he goes to jail yes but he's not

ticket he has to get a new court date so
this is what I'm going to tell you I
know why my nose off myself well you got
tissues right there
please wipe your nose off
yes
[Music]
how do you buy your drugs if you don't
have a job
[Music]
just talking
I'm just talking honest with you okay
that's all I'm just trying it I'm just
trying to understand
I'm trying to understand your situation
you're very young how old are you 22
yeah I'll be 23. okay you're 23 and you
have a kid and you're on SSI and you
could get assistance to get a house or a
place to live if you chose to stop using
can use your money
to take care of you and your family and
get government help
but this is on you it's for you to
choose
I mean it's ultimately your decision you
know that
that's what I want to do
but once you got stuck in the heroin now
you're stuck on it yeah yeah
it's not like I'm not talking like I
don't really get in because I do I'm not
saying you don't want to and I and I can
tell you that I've seen it a lot no
support no family oh my God it's very
right and you're both users so this is
the route you keep going down right
I mean I can give you resources but I
it's up to you to utilize it
if you can
get you a number to the rehab place
but it that's on you two to decide
together that you have to go do it
you have to have a reason to not want
the drugs
but you have to have a reason to not
want the drugs
I mean we can try to get you hooked up
with somebody and it's going to be on
you to try to walk yourself down there
how long you been out here doing this
[Music]
like oh I'm like the street yeah
how long you been out here using
[ __ ] boy we've been doing it for
three years
but I'm off and on like I'll stop
for a long period of time and go back to
it
why do you stop
what makes you stop
late
this stuff is when
you know like on with my sister yeah
I've been staying with my sister let me
ask you this oh it's like everything's
gonna sound like
yeah and you're with him
I mean I'm always Within but he can't
get clean either right
and why do you come out here
[Music]
because like
I know
I know people are here but they're no
good exactly because this is what
happens to you what's this that lives in
the country so it's harder it's harder
to get stuff you come out here and you
know the streets and you know where to
go hit up the dope spots and like and
like I never like you know like
stuck out here
did you get stuck on the dope
I want you to look in the mirror next
time you get a chance because I don't
think that you belong out here
I don't think you belong on here and I
believe that you're wasting your life
out here
and I think you need to look at yourself
you need to look at yourself and see
what you're what you're messing up and
what you're losing
you don't lose your kid for good if you
don't figure out how to clean it up
you're the only one I can stop you a
gazillion times and you can tell me that
that bag's not yours and that you're not
using
and you can tell me the same story but I
can tell you this is not my first day
out here
you are not the first person I've had
this conversation with you're also not
the first person I've said that hey we
can offer you resources and you're not
the first person that said that they
want to get clean
it should be in a way you should hold
yourself more valuable than this stuff
you have to know that your life is worth
more than this this dope out here
[Music]
because one day you might not have him
to be with you and then you're going to
overdose and who's gonna find you what
are you gonna look like when we roll up
on you
oding in the back of an alley somewhere
and we throw you in the medic and you go
to the corners because you've overdosed
like that that's terrible right you
don't come back from that
everybody thinks narcan's gonna save him
but if you ain't got somebody around you
to save you who's gonna do it
[Music]
I don't have answers and I don't know
what it's like to be addicted to heroin
and thank God I don't but I do know that
you're the only person who can get
yourself out of it
and thank God you say you haven't been
prostituting is that correct
because what do you think's the next way
to do that people turn to after they run
out of money
do you want to be that kind of girl
like you see these girls out here right
you know what they do for their drugs
paper
work how old is Levi
when's the last time you saw him when's
the last time you saw Levi
[Music]
are you allowed to see him like this
he's got to be your reason why
[Music]
and you have to love him more than you
love yourself
more than you love this dope you're
gonna lose him forever you know that
if he don't know you as his mom because
you're busy out here instead of busy
with him how's he ever going to know who
you are
dude
figure
[Music]
out
so who's he's with your sister
Levi
's doing a good job yeah
I didn't want to put leave on the
situations yeah
you can't take care of Levi right now
you can't take care of yourself
inside the house
you know
what do you say when you're out here
everywhere
people's houses are in back alleys
traps
huh please
[Music]
but I have to look like
this environment
that's a great
future too and this drug you still do
you're 22.
I do that's what you don't get it's like
you can choose to let drugs kill you and
not have a life
or or you can choose
cheers
to seek help and get clean
it's your choice every time you turn
to that dope it's your choice
and if you're scared of what you see
When You're Sober there are people that
can help you through sobriety
because sometimes that's a biggest
person's problem in their addiction it's
who they are when they don't have the
drugs because then you have to deal with
the fact that you don't have a mom you
have to deal with the fact that you
don't have a dad
but you can also deal with the fact that
there are people like us out here that
come and find you
and sweep you away to get help
because you can give up on yourself and
I can meet you 10 more times
and we can have the same conversation 10
more times
but you're the one who have to face
yourself
who's on your leg
this was his sister
foreign
do you think that's a problem
like valuables aren't everything girl
but
I mean
you can do better than this okay that's
all I'm saying
cool
okay they might want him then
it's a long old one
as soon as it comes back
okay
okay you hear what he's saying
your ticket's old but this is what's
gonna happen we're gonna try to get you
a new court date okay
um
that's a big bug we're gonna try to get
you a new court date and this is how it
typically goes you get one new court
date all right
and then if you don't go to court on
that then you go to jail
which sounds terrible over a seat belt
huh
sounds terrible over seat belt right
but do you know what happens when you go
to jail
you can't use there yeah
[Applause]
who's on the phone with um suspects you
understand what I'm saying
so your best option is that if if we get
you this new court date that you find
your way to court with your Social
Security money you know
because if you go to jail on a on a
seatbelt ticket that's that's kind of
your fault that's nobody goes to jail on
that you understand
oh wait
this is good bro City uh they're gonna
send a hit there
all right so we're taking him to County
yeah oh okay but hers is good there's a
CSA of 110 or a payout of 113 or I'm
sure we can just get it according it's
verified so at this point we can start
the
process I'm still on leads for his
Groove City stuff but we should probably
start the process with her now since
it's verified we can get a hold of
Clerks about cool getting a new court
date for her okay so Riley what we're
gonna do we're gonna try to get you a
new court date so you don't have to come
with us okay so what we're going to do
is we're going to have you just kind of
we're going to step out here and we're
gonna sit on the bumper of my car okay
we're gonna get you some paperwork which
is going to try to get you a new court
date okay
property here with
[Music]
