Present were we do all the ground work. Were not trying to handle like by the way it would be 2 weeks. So South Carolina and go back to new york to handle some of those the 3 weeks. The South Carolina go back to new york, have some business, including, but not limited to policy, so immensely. I just relocated because there was a bigger conversation and i just kind of walk away from it. So may of 2016. We started before organization, every blank for every blank girl started off as a campaign to get the charges dropped. To start looking at how to shift School Culture when it comes to push out and this mental disturbance go along the news. Once the investigation was on, they took everything and they presented it to dan johnson. Who is the solicitor who is the chief prosecutor originally in car, sol county . He looked at the case to decide if in fact there was enough to charge probable cause to charge me with the crime. And this particular situation. All parties cleared may have any role. Mm. The okay, from my masters degree, i was at university of South Carolina. I was looking at how the land holds trauma. Theres trauma across this land and nature has taken it over, but the issues still remain because history doesnt work the same way that nature, the past lives in the present. Wow. You can see hundreds of acres of rice field here built on the backs of the slave labor force. These african engineers, right that had been brought from the rice coast of africa, 3000 miles across the ocean, newfound bring people here. And i brought you here cuz you asked me to bring why here for you, why do you want to get here . As an african american, you know, your yeah, history stops at a point. You know, so much as not documented any absence of records and names and in the absence of other ways to connect to your history. The land. You know, this is how you connect to that history. You can see the where it is not just black people where they can see like the neglect and how it manifests in people and groups and communities and cultures. And how you go into some communities, black and brown communities, you see is dilapidated, the slices, right. Or you can see the, the, the lack of care that this investment and where that accumulates from that. Yeah. Murphy island is a big place. And it holds a very ugly history, but its being conveniently washed away. Its a will for neglect. I think it allows these ugly histories to be ignored, and to be sweat under the right. We have to recognize that slavery is white peoples history to the Spring Valley scratched away the scan of memories from 50 years ago. The somehow people assume that were Turner Industries Public Schools and weve gone to a place where people, young people will be taught and will be safe and secure as it is, it somehow got tired of the video on facebook. So i started reading the comments, the lights up, some price on the, on the background, some of this, some of the sydney and i just got a bill and wrapped around my neck. And last can stop us. Now. Lots of them look up to me. Make sure im no longer at a place, not going through a lot, but im have to pull through but i want to do all, but i will talk to him in about an issue isnt. This is like why you need to keep me on the situation who just opposite from door to, right, how you doing . What you desire to be after you just hi everyone else. I cant seem to let everybody else live. Ill live. Never saw all i need to know and thats not a reason why ive started school. You know, our cna program is strong. I feel, i mean has next because she enters some of the same thing. They were not sure how i lived that moment. And this moment as time had i been born in this moment in time, the moment that she met i live, i remember being so tired at school that day. Mister smith said a math problem and i dont like math. I didnt understand what he says. So i reached over to my friend, what do you see and how i understand what he told us to do. He said, vivian, there you go again. And im like, no, i just dont understand what youre saying. You always get a smart. You always talk, heres something youre always doing is i grew up in time, a corporal punishment. Right. And i was like, no, you just dont make sense to me. I dont understand that. Actually, no, i got a smart mouth, but i wasnt trying to be smart. I just did not understand and that night on that day i was really tired. And he was like, i got something for you and he pulled off the title because we used to be able to get pedals. And i was like, not today. Yeah, i dont know what i went through last night. I ran from a brother all night. Im not nobody touching me. Nobody hit me. Not this. I mean i had to raise me around the whole classroom. And so he got hired and he said, im tired. You me, theres definitely a social worker caught me and so hurts chase for relationship for school forever. What if Somebody Just asked the girl, what if . Cuz i remember like, no, i just got beat last night. I got some place assignment for what besides, what have Somebody Just yes, just a little good. What was going on . Like i dont remember its come up to the 3rd age of 13. I want to find somebody off my black body, my black female body, and then i was punished because i wanted to dress pants because im like, like i dont pass, you cant get up there, easy enough. So when i saw the video, a lot of stuff came up for me and i was like, oh they dont get to watch because a lot, i know what it means to margaret alone. They dont have no. And then you said no, you dont treat her like this and then you get arrested. Oh, come on. No, not, not, not. Like heres good to be beautiful in love. Then they get to fill their full expression of themselves and not feel like to oh if im not this, im not ok. They were born whole perfect kings complete. Its up to us to keep it like not the its our refund, the okay. If i looked in in a row, be very clear. When this went down was i like, oh, theres a grown man who just assaulted a child . Yes, i did for a girl who wouldnt get out of her chair. Right. Right. Thats a chow. Oh my god, this little girl, is there any other way that this could have gone down . This is like just insane. And i still cant understand how it hasnt been likes to car. I apologize. It should a look different. There hasnt been apology. I think she is old. What of the, the, youre critical of, of the situation in critical with me. I think thats fine. I was acting as a uniform police officer. Obviously, i was terminated for the, for the institute for the use of force because the share felt like it was improper. Okay. But certainly it wasnt, you know, it wasnt no salt in any way, shape or form. You know, i was a political victim in this situation. Mean i was cut loose pics politically. It made sense . If i file a policy and procedure and i filed the law, theres nothing more i can do because thats my responsibility. Thats the oaks that i took. I just continue to a Law Enforcement level. I stand by what i did that day. So you say you came in from the eyes of a police officer. It didnt have to go that far. But if im looking at a criminal, another child. Yeah. Can go that far because i read the report the class wasnt really interrupted until this teacher got upset, but she wouldnt leave. Why not remove the other kids and handle her because you said youve known her before, so it was some deeper stuff. So there could have been a light how, what is it thats making you not want to be . Well, it certainly industry, but close to me, the feel the same way you knew about that situation when you talk about classroom management, things like that. So its not the 1st time ive heard that, and thats fair. If i went to follow the patrol, when i called to a Movie Theater to room, somebody from Movie Theater, i would ask the Movie Theater before i went to a restaurant and need to remove somebody from a restaurant, witness the restaurant, right . And so i viewed it from a police standpoint and thats, thats where we keep going back to the system that created this to happen. You havent been my focus for the system has been my focus. I dont believe police to be in schools. Theres no reason that you should have been called in period. All right, i got you all. Yeah. So let me, let me say a couple things. One is i would say obviously, you know, we, we know that and thats where our school doesnt mean safety. I dont disagree with that. One of the biggest issues for me right now is the stickiness arose and schools werent even sure in properly. But the guy who does it goes back a little bit. Its ok to disappoint it is okay to hold kids accountable. Im not saying kids dont get to be held accountable. All we spend is like, what does that accountability look like . We should not have a law where kids are being arrested for things that they cant get arrested outside industry for the the, to look at the system. What system are you referring to . You say the system we need to change the system. I hope you understand. So when i say systems, im talking about governmental education, institutionalized, racism, all the policies, they recreate, all the laws that we create, thats what i mean about the system. Okay . So, you know, you know, the systematic race isnt always kind of stuff. I think its talking points, i think it sounds really good on its face, but its one of those things where were taking the notice again off the kids and saying, hey, youre not responsible for your bad behavior. What were going to do is were gonna blame it on the system. And one of the things that, you know, we, we looked at with the service law was brought up a lot. Was additional force on that. A black is were rest of the white is right, and it just for, for something out of black is or suspended to white kids. I mean, as you look as a whole, i mean, you, you or any school district, and thats gonna be the case. Okay. Why is that happening . In your opinion . There is a tendency to think that black kids are automatically at bought. This one was run in the hallways and this little friend in the hallway. Yes, this one got the discipline referral and thats what i was like. Well, you know, you cant do that is something going on. Theres a way that where with young people, depending on if theyre white versus children of color, and thats the best it typically proven in, in the schools where the, where it was disproportional. They also have black deputies. How do you explain that . Are these bodies, black deputies and these black teachers . Are they part of the system thats hurting last name . Then we talk about internalized oppression. So if i see that ive been trained all my life, that this is better than this, i push that same narrative and i act in accordance to so yeah, we can go all day on the problems. I dont, i cant talk about problems too much because we already know their, their focus is how to retrace solutions. How do we create solutions . And we can talk about holding kids accountable, but we get to hold adults accountable to cuz were responsible for the next generation we were. We are right now. I think thats good. And i think that going back somebody can be a great point us in class. The theres a child experience and im literally only came here to stay for 2 days. So to look out right now and to know what weve been doing and how many girls i got. So huh. The say, no matter what this world tells us, you are, you are a, you are the ground because the more so we are the what you like and there were some challenges ahead. She didnt want to sit in the classroom with her back toward the door. So i had to rearrange my classroom to make sure that she was comfortable for her, not the fear of someone coming up behind her. She expressed that, hey, im not getting that. And i told them either like a reading teacher. But i told her i said if you put your mind to is something that you can do, it was almost to you years that she had to work to accomplish this goal. Shouldnt have just so many challenges before she to for someone to care the once she figured out that hey, they care what i do when it matters. What i do in that made all the different the, the law row. If you use this is evidence that no matter what life throw into a mouse and that you cant get past nothing that you can create. Yeah. And have you to, thanks for a lot. Youve been like there is times where i can get to the doctor use like the 2nd mom to make sure i got there. You will not be away. No matter what time of day it was to be there. You know, i can come you and tell you everything and know a lot about charles made me keep going. Thank you. What happened to you should not happen to anybody . But like i told you from the beginning and youve got me for life, my life shifted totally changed on a 1000. So congress that we wouldnt have known and been able to reach, weve been able to reach rate. And so, and i owe that to you. Thats why i said, so you got me for life. My word is my boss. So the, there are many people in this country, especially in South Carolina who say, yeah, slaverys done. Whats the big deal . Right, why do black people act like as theyre still in slain use array of slavery . The 1st lady was yesterday, so i can just ended. Nobodys owning people any more. But we have inherited that mentality of racial impression. This idea that within our society, certain people belonging to certain places, black people belong in a subjugated space like they, they belong in there and under class of people. And if youre in the under class, then you do what youre told you dont challenge the system. And your face is to make white people comfortable by not talking about race by not acting out by not by changing the way we talk and changing the way we act. So the white people feel comfortable windows on said rules of who belongs, where is challenged. Thats what the wrapped is about. The the recent debt step towards floyd, brianna taylor, barbary or off fueling massive demonstrations nationwide. The testers are demanding justice for black americans that have been basing systemic racism for the are now the dont get to me like what happened . Spring valley. What brought us here around there was a 17 Year Old Girl watching 3 figures of like body know you can do yours. 17 year old black girl. No, you can do this. So the nation just had the keeps spanish, not about be and once again this is bigger than him. Hes a representation of what we see on a larger scale with white america. He still doesnt understand the difference between accountability and blame. So as long as he thinks hes going to be blind, hes never going to say, oh, i see my role in that the the they say been which is one bad apple. Well no, this whole barrow is contaminated as long as this starting at the top. And thats a place where its being granite. Permission is going to be another band on another day. The we the man, the police are still need to contact your school board, your mirror and your governor and tell them Police Officers get to be removed. And social services education. Our teachers because our lives depend daughters, but also im very clear and im getting old, so i know i am showing up for the long time. The 2nd point i think weve actually slipped over. We dont change it now, but will never change it again. This is the moment the test today and downtown away this time by students, theyre pushing to eliminate the School Police to for the on the protesters. Little march through oakland, california on tuesday to demand police free one, pennsylvania. And the education breaks that work on the district to remove police from campuses, Minneapolis School boards, that it would no longer use city police as School Resource officer. The. So im headed to michigan in the middle of a pandemic because the girl who we are referring to is grace was arrested for failing to complete her Online School work. Ringback i prefer not to have to travel again in the hope is they wont even be an opportunity for me to go, because there will be no more sure. Cars and graces, the, the, the release of the russian states never is as tight as one of the most sense community. Most all sense, some of the must be the one else holes. Question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media machines, i stayed on the rushes to day and split from our t supposed neck. Even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the Senior Services for the question, did you see a request, which is the, the monday that should let you think .
