The answer's no, you think they're going to put on their body camera?”  11:30 “We cannot allow the police to police themselves, because you know what, that's going to bring us three attributes, accountability, accessibility, and transparency, and that is what we have needed in 2020.”  29:55 “So I took to Facebook, I said, you know what? I got a big mouth, everyone follows me, I’m gonna start helping feed the people in the woods.”  45:38 “And I’d like to leave off with our motto and that is, I am! You are! We are! Team success!”  ------------------------------  RESOURCES  Team Success Enterprises: Website: https://teamsuccessenterprises.org/  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Uplifters2018/  Sebastian Police Department: https://www.cityofsebastian.org/164/Police-Department  St. Lucie West Centennial High School: https://schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us/swc/  Florida NAACP (National Advancement for the Association of Colored People): http://www.flnaacp.com/  Indian River Shores Public Safety Dept.: https://www.irspsd.org/  Boys and Girls Club of Indian River County: https://www.bgcirc.org/  Vero Beach Police Dept.: https://www.vbpd.org/  Salvation Army: https://salvationarmyflorida.org/verobeach/  ORC-Services: https://orc-services.com/  LaPorte Farms: https://www.laportefarms.com/  Department of Juvenile Justice: http://www.djj.state.fl.us/  Care-Net Pregnancy Center: https://www.care-net.org/  Hibiscus Children’s Village: https://hibiscuschildrenscenter.org/programs-svcs/hibiscus-childrens-village/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/criminal-law/
