With your permission, I'll just go and and just because I think it's worth telling, just go into the culture of gang shootings.
1:34:09
Right?
1:34:10
We know they're contagious in in in nature, And they rarely stop at one.
1:34:14
They they become contagious, and we need to stop that shooting cycle.
1:34:17
How do we do it with rapid deployment?
1:34:19
Now what a gang shooting does?
1:34:21
It creates an on-site environment.
1:34:24
Now what is that?
1:34:25
When you have an a gang shooting, you have both teams now that are carrying a multitude of guns.
1:34:31
You have the oppositions carrying guns, and you have the aggressors carrying guns.
1:34:35
All are expecting violence, and they'll shoot at each other the moment they see them.
1:34:39
What does that mean?
1:34:39
On-site.
1:34:40
That hence the term.
1:34:42
Now that creates such a dangerous atmosphere and it's just so time sensitive.
1:34:46
Why?
1:34:46
Especially now?
1:34:47
Because of social media.
1:34:48
Right?
