00:00:01.340 - 00:01:17.710

Yeah. Yeah. A a couple interviews. I I like my job. It's the best job I ever had. And I'll tell you there's no job I'd rather do. I used to

00:01:17.710 - 00:01:30.110

sell shoes in Montgomery wards and believe me, there's no comparison. You see so many more things in actuality that you possibly wouldn't virtually any other walk of life when I go out and shoot news. I'm always on the alert for little things that make news film

00:01:30.120 - 00:01:53.710

per se is compared to say commercial film for saying that little actions the different angles people watching. It's really people watching people a lot assignment editor and the assistant assignment editor go through the days, breathes newspapers generally straight press almost exclusively the straight press and I

00:01:53.710 - 00:02:06.100

listen to police radio and the fire radios and they'll determine what stories will be covered on film and by reporters during the day. They'll schedule it. So you go from one to the other cameramen. The reporters will go out and shoot the stories in the evening.

00:02:06.100 - 00:02:50.640

The producer will decide what's used, how much of it is used. What besides film will be used to be videotaped will be feeds from the network and the show is generally put together. It's edited by film editors. It's put together by people who weren't there. Yeah,

00:02:52.110 - 00:03:31.970

I don't know how close are you? I did that institutional how can you say ruth isn't known when the media presented hundreds and thousands of words directly from the verbatim over a period of several months, there's never been so much published about any organization directly as

00:03:31.970 - 00:03:41.660

the organization wanted it to be published. I think so much was published because it's the kind of problems that people need to look at. And I think the stop now would be would be a tragedy and the more needs to be said and it needs to

00:03:41.660 - 00:03:49.080

be said by the people that were in it. You know, what kind of thing would you like to? Well, I wasn't in it. You know, I want to hear what they have to say. I want to know what went on in their heads. I don't want

00:03:49.080 - 00:04:00.110

to read more profiles of what they were like before they joined. I want to know what they were like while they were in it. And I think a lot of people want to know that are you saying that the truth did not come out with everything

00:04:00.110 - 00:04:14.810

that was published, written by the la I'm saying it seems to me that a lot of it came out, maybe not untrue, but certainly obscured. There seemed to be a lot of subtle misrepresentations of things, sometimes not so subtle, that the people who were there need

00:04:14.810 - 00:04:26.170

to come forward again and clarify some points that are unclear to a lot of people. It's just theater, especially talking heads. That's really theater, you go to a news conference smell, it is a propaganda sounding board for a particular point of view. Then you go run

00:04:26.170 - 00:04:39.120

across town and you get the other propaganda sounding board for the other particular point of view. I sincerely for my company of 120 policemen who have watched this man in action. I have watched him personally on the streets of san Francisco carrying the Viet Cong flag.

00:04:39.130 - 00:04:50.150

I wouldn't vote for this man nowhere. And I can tell you 120 men in my company feel the same way she was more down like a bad tongue. And this is what I want to deal with. He can tell you what he feels a burden in

00:04:50.150 - 00:05:07.640

this kind of action. They are not revolutionary, We are revolutionary. I am a fucking revolutionary and I want that they understood and I totally disregard disrespect any long. Excuse me. Is this what you meant by conservative leanings on some members of this is the purpose of

00:05:07.640 - 00:05:30.450

this press conference this morning about the soul of this regard and about the one thing that people when I arrived here today, evidently there was some other arrangements made about dis endorsing burst burden. There was no endorsement of burden by the san Francisco police officers association.

00:05:30.540 - 00:05:42.860

It was by the California organization of police and sheriff's when I go out and film. Everything is a theater. It's a stage set up for me. I think it's just Is a picture in my machine. Then you get back and the producer will say, well, we'll

00:05:42.860 - 00:05:55.610

just run that 30 seconds. So somebody go back, it wasn't even on the story and cut out 30 seconds of sound. You know, that isn't necessarily the point they made at all. But it's 30 seconds is all they want. The worst thing. Well the thing that

00:05:55.610 - 00:06:05.640

I don't like alright that I don't care to do the most is a stakeout work like waiting in front of the federal building for some prisoner. There's always some funky game they play with you. It's hide him in the back seat of the car. So the

00:06:05.640 - 00:06:19.520

camera and can't get the pictures. It's just a little game. You play back and forth. I don't like stakeouts. I do like fast breaking news like shooting while bank robberies are something like that where the call comes over and you just hop in the car and

00:06:19.520 - 00:06:33.290

you go like hell. And you know, it's now at this location now that who's don't look at television, you just gonna get some headlines. It doesn't matter how important it may be or anything like that. Just a rating game showbiz. Our news sources are so absolutely

00:06:33.290 - 00:06:48.010

limited. Like everything is a P. U. P. I. Or will rerun last night's chronicle virtually in pictures, 90% of our stories to come out of chronicle. You've got to realize that the format is so limited. They'll call A one or two part series that runs 4-5

00:06:48.010 - 00:07:01.960

minutes long and in depth study. If we had more people, it would make a big, big difference if we cared more about the small things that make a community function would get a lot more feedback from the community. The greatest news in the Bay Area, the

00:07:01.960 - 00:08:31.540

most in depth coverage. What does that mean? What does that mean? It doesn't mean anything. Mhm. Yeah.
