As I came out of the building, I saw
00:00:02
cameras and I was like, man, I cover my
00:00:05
face. So, there are a number of images
00:00:07
of me lifting my shirt up.
00:00:08
>> You've actually got a photo. Is this the
00:00:10
moment?
00:00:10
>> Sorry you prepared earlier. That's
00:00:11
exactly it. So, I've sort of pulled the
00:00:14
shirt up to try and hide my face. And
00:00:15
>> why is that?
00:00:16
>> Well, cuz I saw cameras there. And I was
00:00:18
like, well, one, I don't know what's
00:00:20
going on here. But, as it turns out, the
00:00:23
reason why I was thinking it is exactly
00:00:24
the reason why I didn't want to be on
00:00:26
camera. My my two sons were sitting on
00:00:28
the couch at home. Nikki was helping
00:00:30
them with their shoes and on the screen
00:00:33
is this being streamed live and um my
00:00:36
oldest boy goes, "Oh, look mom, there's
00:00:38
a police officer with steam and blood
00:00:40
coming off him." So, she sort of turns
00:00:42
around, has a little look and just turns
00:00:44
it off. I think she just disregarded
00:00:46
that it could have been me. I'm not too
00:00:48
sure, but that's the exact reason why I
00:00:50
was like, "What could have been?" You
00:00:51
know, that could have been the last time
00:00:52
that my son saw
