On his YouTube channel (in the About Me section), where the video of the speech is posted, he writes:

"I took an Oath that I live by. am NOT anti-NYPD. I am anti- Police Brutality. I am no longer under contract with the USMC so I do NOT have to follow military uniform regulations. I DON'T affiliate myself with ANY GROUPS or POLITICAL ORG. I affiliate myself with the AMERICAN PEOPLE that's it. I REFUSE to affiliate with anything that SEPARATES. There is an obvious problem in the country and PEACEFUL PEOPLE should be allowed to PROTEST without Brutality. I was involved in a RIOT in Rutbah, Iraq 2004 and we did NOT treat the Iraqi citizens like they are treating the unarmed civilians in our OWN Country. No one was brutalized because our mission was to 'WIN the hearts and minds.' why should I expect anything less in my OWN Country."

12. Thank you, Tx4obama.

I'm pissed that MSNBC edited out the idiot cops trying to exercise their authority. But the end of that footage sure made me smile. :)

6. It's bringing tears to my eyes.

Ah, it's time, it's finally time.

7. I'm a little teary eyed, too. I just wish the msnbc site didn't make us watch an add

from exxon mobil about the wonders of fracking.

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. Definitely. I almost signed off at that point...

8. My guess is this guy will inspire a lore move military people to get involved

He did a very honorable thing that was inspirational. He showed real leadership!
