did make it up to ten, so let's go ahead
and get that talk started. Thank you podcasters for tuning
in as well. Listen the Demeanor series Demeanor when the
(02:19):
authorities are on the scene or asking questions. That is
what we're talking about today. This is a series from
my book coming up, Demeanor, And if you will on

bio you see the ebook or website.
Speaker 2 (02:34):

so you can get ready for Demeanor and what's coming,
because look bags what's coming. I'm gonna book tour, book tour,
that's what's coming. Okay, so you can be ready for
this one. And this one will be available at Barnes
and Noble as well.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
All right, are we good to go? I hope I'm
good to go.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Sorry about the super nerdy, but I need to be
able to fully see tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay, all right, so I need to be careful. The
demeanor of legal in blue is how we're gonna say
it tonight. Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So the demeanor when the legal and Blue are on
the scene and they are asking questions due to an
incident that you dial the three numbers and you called
them out.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So when you dial.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Those three numbers and the demeanor in blue shows up,
you are going to have to get.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Ready for what it takes. Okay, or say that.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You guys are a part of that big group of
people that plan to go out next week for the
million march that everyone is now hearing about in the
one country where a million people plan to be marching
where you know, in the United States, there's supposed to
be a million people marching over various different cities and
organize protests. So I hear I don't know who's organizing it,
(03:55):
but there's a leader of some sort that's organizing it,
and there's a demeanor. You have the rite, yet you
have the freedoms within this country. You have the freedoms
to let your voice be heard. True, but there are
ways that you could do things, and there are rules
that you have to follow, and sometimes you may have
incidents where that gets out of hand. So this will
be handy for that as well. Okay, So listen when
(04:18):
you dial that. When you dial three three three number,
right that's not three, Well I shouldn't say three three
three three three three might be an actual number, and
someone will turn around and someone will actually dial that,
and we do not want them to do that. Okay,
So when you dial right, when you guys dial, okay,
(04:41):
did that make sense? When you when you guys.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Dial a number.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Those three numbers and they come to the scene, your
demeanor on this scene means everything. Now, if you are
the individual going through because someone dialed the three numbers
on you and the man the person in blue had
to show up on you, you probably are not going
to rationalize with all the things that I have in
the notes tonight, right, So all the individuals that are
(05:10):
dealing on the scene with you, they may want to
write tonight's notes in case you are, especially for those
individuals where they know you are a total minutes to sosigety,
and so they know that they're gonna need these notes
because they've been down that road with you before.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay. So if that's the case, that's fine. No judgment.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
This is a no judgment zone. So everybody is capable
of change. If you listen to the course the other night,
thank you for the eleven I appreciate that. Continue to
tap and thank you for the gifts. I highly appreciate
you that showing up Bryce, thank you for.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Coming in dancing emoji.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
When you have you reacting or you can do a
question mark in, you can feel free to ask a
question as well.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Asking questions is okay.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You can tap the screen if you want to come
on to contribute to the topic or just share your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
On a similar story. Okay, be mindful of the rules
the app when you're sharing your stories.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, all right, So the demeanor of the blue comes
out and the blue they are detaining the individual. The
demeanor of that of the person being detained often changes
quickly once they are fully under the soft click the
soft cuff. We don't call them the soft cuff, so
(06:23):
once let's change that in the notes. We're gonna call
it a soft cuff because we gotta be careful not
to offend the AI on this app.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Right, So, once the soft.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Cuffs have been put on because they want to ask questions,
the demeanor of the person sometimes changes, okay. And oftentimes
they could be inside of a business and the individuals
may have managers, like the recent story where the individuals
had the you know, the managers called out the men
(06:54):
in blue for the person who had came into and
attack the person one of the managers. So now you're
is signed the business and they are trying to conduct
this business and this investigation, and there are people around.
They're looking at all the doorways, they're looking at all
the people that they have to protect.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
They're also trying to get the information.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It is really helpful when there's one mic on the scene, okay,
because when all of you guys are talking, that is
not helpful. Everybody can't tell the story. At the same time,
You're going to get your opportunity to tell your version,
because I guarantee they're gonna send enough people out to
get your part of the story.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So just wait your way to turn.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I know the adrenaline is high, and I know you're
not gonna be thinking about it in the moment, but
hopefully these words will register if you end up in
that situation, You're going to get your chance to tell
the story.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
But one mic at a time. When on the scene, okay, So.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The demeanor of the person in the soft cuffs is
standing next to the blue he or she they are
usually possibly just under some kind of disagreement with what's happening.
They may not be happy about the situation that they
are in. They may not even feel justified that they
are in that situation.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So a calm.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Demeanor are all the individuals they notice how they show
to the scene. The majority of the time they show
to the scene calm. So when everyone has a calm demeanor,
everyone wants to listen to each other.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Then it makes these incidents go as.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Trained and everyone can get on and be about the
good business of freedom, right, because that's what you want.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You want to be on the freedom side. So if
you want to get to the business of freedom, you're
gonna have to follow the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That I'm gonna break out down for you today. Okay,
some people win in soft cuffs are apologetic. Sometimes they're apologetic.
They get you know, they recollect themselves because they they
are capable of expecting the unexpected.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We talked about that of the series, right, So they're
capable of behavior lists that they keep it coming in.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
They're capable of expecting the unexpected, so they know, Okay,
the scene has happened. I am now in soft cuff,
and I understand that I need to tell my side
of the story because I may feel it I didn't
do it, so they may feel that they have to
explain themselves, and then they may say, well, you know what,
I need an apologetic tone, and I need a tone
(09:14):
of respect if I'm going to be heard. Right. That's
anywhere wherever you are, whether you're at work, no matter what,
you may have to get a tone of respect in
order to be heard. Sometimes people need that respect in
order to listen to you. That is the lesson that
we talked about last night. If you missed that lesson,
I will make sure that clips of that lesson come
up again. But you can also follow the lessons in
(09:36):
full on my YouTube leak, Blink and bio.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, so, sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
When the soft cuffs are on there apologizing to the
man in blue and saying, you know what, I didn't
mean to do what I hat go up.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I went upside. Somebody here totally forgot that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I am not supposed to be put my hands on people.
I know that I am supposed to keep my hands
to myself, and all of a sudden, out.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of know where, the thorhammer came down there. I was right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So because I didn't think first and I made an
irrational decision.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I am now in this.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Situation, I am apologetic, and I know that I shouldn't. Now,
just because you say that you apologize, grow up people apologize,
It doesn't mean that the soft cuff comes off. Okay,
we're not gonna say the actual thing, right, because I
don't want there to be any confusion as to the
language that I'm using, because sometimes the AI will get confused.
That's why we say it soft cups. Right. So just
(10:28):
because the soft cuffs, you know, the soft cuts are
owner you apologize, that doesn't mean that the s the
situation is now over. And I see sometimes some people
get themselves caught up because thank you so much for
joining GQT. So some people get themselves all the way
caught up because they're saying, well, I mean I thought,
I apologize, now let me go. Well, sometimes it doesn't
(10:50):
work that way because the jurisdiction of.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The county that you're in.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Sometimes the rules are this and that they have to
enforce this or that, or you may be on a
private property. Now you're talking about an emminol rhyme with
that trespas So when that happens, then there's something too
different going on. Okay, so you don't know what all
that particular man in blue has to figure out about
(11:14):
how this is going to go. Oftentimes, the less you say,
the more a.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Person can think straight.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Because if a person in blue, can you know, you've
got all this clutter going on, then they have to
make a decision and decide. Okay, well maybe it's better
if this person just sits in the back of the court.
And you don't want that leather. You do not want
that leather on your leg. Okay, So you have to
listen to the things that I'm telling you, So write
it down. If you just write this down, okay, and
(11:42):
it may come to you at the time of Sometimes
when the soft cuffs are on, you know, like I said,
they're apologetic. And then there are those that are in denial.
When you have the individual that's in denial, I want
to talk to Grandma. I want to talk to Auntie.
I want to talk to mom. I want to talk
to all those who tend to be the the the rate,
(12:05):
the the enablers on the scene and and in denial
right along with the person that you had to the
the the irrational thing that never really I never really
comprehend is the enabler called the three numbers. They're neighbor,
the call M M M, and then when you called
and the blue came out, then you're in denial and
(12:28):
upset about the way that they have to go about
doing things. This is so confusing to me. So when
you decide that you are going to call, make sure
you are prepared for everything that comes with calling. It's
not a social call. You didn't invite them over to dinner.
They are not about to have Taco Tuesday with you.
That's not the reason why that is not in an
an eat invite. You know, when you dial that number,
(12:50):
oh so you can have some company and someone to
talk to, That's not what that number is for. So
once they come, they are coming to do whatever it
is that that dispatcher said to them needs to be
happening on the scene.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
They're there to do their job. So your job is
to act.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Like you have some common sense as a person that
is in that community and paying your taxes and getting
what it is that you pay your taxes for the
protection that you so desire.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So the less that you do.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
In the negative, the less negative that you do, the
easier that this process could impossibly go right, expecting unexpected
at all things in life.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
But I'm just giving some tips.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I made a promise I wasn't gonna bump today, but
I'm sorry if it's bumping the computer, you guys podcasters
back to you, Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So, Also, some people, when they're in the soft cuffs,
they laugh.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Some people's in the soft custs they begin to laugh
hysterically because they are just nervous. Some people have a
nervous laughter and so they may begin to laugh hysterically.
That could throw the scene off. You know, just hoping
that everyone around the scene can continue to check their
demeanor because that person and may just feel extremely nervous.
This may be something that they've never experienced before. They
(14:04):
know they did something wrong, they know that this is
possibly the outcome of what's coming, but they may just
be laughing hysterically and.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That may not make sense. So you got to continue to.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Focus on everyone's demeanor remaining calm, because it is how
you carry yourself that is your resume going forward, right,
so you definitely want to keep you know that can happen.
Other things that was discussed earlier is a person could
become angry I mean totally the one that caused the scene, right, hey, precious,
(14:39):
totally the.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
One that caused the scene and will.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Turn around and somehow I'm sorry, you guys, I am
pushing something that I didn't want to push.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay, there we go. I'm so sorry about that. Okay,
So totally they will end up upset. What in the
world are you upset about?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But that's that's not Sometimes that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
But my opinion is, you know, you're all over wherever
this is happening that my opinion is we're.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Listening and not judging.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Sometimes people will become upset that the person decided to
call out the people in blue, and so when they
are upset, they may have to be dealt with in
the way that the people in blue.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Are trained to do.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Right, So, once the people in blue are doing what
they what they have to do to get the person
to stop being in that mode of upset, you know,
that's really not nothing. You know, all the extra people
on the scene business.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So I know you.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Want to get involved, but you need to move to
the side, try to collect yourself. Call your person. Do
you have someone in your phone that you can call
the notes how to calm you down. So if you do,
if you don't know how to calm down on your
own when things are going on and when you're on
when something is happening on the scene, if you don't
know how to do that on your own, then maybe
(15:58):
consider calling someone to say this is my goal to person.
I call this person and they helped me. But don't
make this like we talked about last night. These are
ten percent of the year, ten percent of a two
year time frame kind of incidents. This is happening more
than ten percent.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Of the time.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't really think it should happen ten percent of
the time, but life is unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
So if it's.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Happening more than ten percent of the time, especially in
a two to five year Marisol, thank you for coming by,
precious GQT.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Think you for stopping it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So thank you for sharing the live GQT. I highly
appreciate that. So when it comes to you know, individuals,
you know this, it shouldn't happen all the time, and
you need to be considering getting a distance away from
individuals that have this kind of you know, energy and
negativity and menace to societyness.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Going on all the time.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Who wants to be around that, And if it's possible
for you to be in another space, please consider distancing
yourself now. Disclaimers that I wanted to put out on
this Demeanor series.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I am coach D Shiels.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
For those who do not know, please make sure that
you follow me on YouTube the links in the bio.
You can also go over to Instagram. I am D
Shields the links in the bio. You can get a
free copy tonight of the Demeanor Book. The Demeanor Book
is coming out. The e book has a look at
what's coming, so you can get a copy tonight of
the Demeanor Book.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, so take a break, don't leave, okay, seventeen. That's
not bad. Thank you so much. I highly appreciate that.
Thank you so much. Okay, So, if under the influence.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
My disclaimer, If under the influence, it may be a
mixture of all those emotions that I just talked about, right.
You may get a mixture of apologetic, You may get
a mixture of denial. You may get a mixture of
the hysterical laughter that could happen okay often and then
or the anger okay, and then sometimes the person simple
(18:00):
may say that the person was just quiet. You know,
they were aware of what happened, and you know, today
is not a good day form and they are just
quiet and they're reflecting, and so they turn around and
they just get you know, the soft cuffs on, and
then they just get on back, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
They just get on back to to what's happening.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
They understand that, you know, a bad decision was made,
bad you know, actions happen in that day, and they're
just quiet on the ride. Possibly, I don't know, I'm
just guessing what could possibly be on their mind.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So the disclaimer under that is sometimes it could be
that that they will you know, end up being quiet
and the reflection of choices. Possibly that could just you know,
they're just reflecting on the choices that they made. Their
life may even flash before their eyes as they you know,
go on that ride, however long it is, to whatever
station that they're headed to.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So that's a disclaimer that I another, I mean, a
disclaimer that I wanted to add. You know, if under
the influence, it may be a mixture of all those things, right,
And then another disclaimer in some cases it's a mental
health situation. Every county knows how to deal with those
and the professionals in blue know how to handle should write,
a majority know how to handle a situation like that, right,
(19:18):
And so that's the greatest thing about the training and everything.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That they do.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
They know what they're doing. You're not trained. You don't
know what's happening. You don't know what's supposed to happen.
So let them do their job. Okay, we're gonna talk
about that. Also, and even if you have an opinion goal.
I used to always tell people, go inside in a
closed room and close yourself in the bathroom and talk
to the mirror about it. Learn how to be quiet.
All right, So we already covered that. Now family and friends.
(19:49):
Do I have enough time? Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Okay, so I'm about four minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I may go over a little bit family and friends interference.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
When the authority f.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And when the person in blue is in investigation, minutes
or hours on the scene. This is an investigation. It's
the process. This process of the arrest or arrival to
the scene is an active investigation. You hear them say
that often right may have to put soft cuffs on
individuals in order for this to go in a call manner,
(20:25):
and some people may get cuffs that aren't even a
part of what's happening, continue to have the screen.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Thank you so much for that. You guys almost got
into seven hundred. I highly appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
So family and friends interfering could sometimes just get this is.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
An active investigation.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
That's the main thing I want you to know when
that happens, right, you tend to if you want to interfere,
it may not be wise to do so, and you
may cause now to have to be moved over so
that you are not in the way of whatever it
is that they came out to do. Right, So it's
really important for family and friends to check their demeanor
(21:03):
as well. Okay, it's so important that family and friends
check their demeanor as well.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Do not risk having to be a person.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You call the three numbers and you ask for the
persons to come out. The person's a blue to come out,
and then when you call the numbers, you asked for
them to come out, and then next thing you know, you're.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Going because you didn't know how to carry yourself.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Is that what you really wanted to happen. That is
not what you wanted to happen. Okay, So learn how
to carry yourself. That part is so key, all right,
dancing emojis, question marks.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Anything like that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You guys want to get on the microphone, anyone has
a story that they want to share, anything like that,
this is your opportunity to do so, all right, And
we covered all those different steps. I hope that you
were able to get something out.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Of today's series.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Deme when authorities are on the scene and asking questions. Again,
when you are out and about at these different outings
or walks or marches or whatever it is that you're doing,
your demeanor and how you carry yourself. A calm demeanor
will always go longer and go a long way into
getting to a resolution versus individuals being rowdy on the
(22:24):
scene because a rowdy person impatient. Thank you for coming through.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you for stopping in
as well. Seventeen stopped in. I highly appreciate that. And
if you want to get on the mic, do you
have a situation similar that you want to tell your story,
this is an opportunity to do that and I'm listening,

did make it up to ten, so let's go ahead
and get that talk started. Thank you podcasters for tuning
in as well. Listen the Demeanor series Demeanor when the
(02:19):
authorities are on the scene or asking questions. That is
what we're talking about today. This is a series from
my book coming up, Demeanor, And if you will on
Instagram or on TikTok, you can go and link and
bio you see the ebook or website.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You can click on ebook or website.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
If there is a free copy of the Demeanor book,
feel free to take a peek inside via the ebook
so you can get ready for Demeanor and what's coming,
because look bags what's coming. I'm gonna book tour, book tour,
that's what's coming. Okay, so you can be ready for
this one. And this one will be available at Barnes
and Noble as well.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
All right, are we good to go? I hope I'm
good to go.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Sorry about the super nerdy, but I need to be
able to fully see tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay, all right, so I need to be careful. The
demeanor of legal in blue is how we're gonna say
it tonight. Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So the demeanor when the legal and Blue are on
the scene and they are asking questions due to an
incident that you dial the three numbers and you called
them out.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So when you dial.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Those three numbers and the demeanor in blue shows up,
you are going to have to get.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Ready for what it takes. Okay, or say that.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You guys are a part of that big group of
people that plan to go out next week for the
million march that everyone is now hearing about in the
one country where a million people plan to be marching
where you know, in the United States, there's supposed to
be a million people marching over various different cities and
organize protests. So I hear I don't know who's organizing it,
(03:55):
but there's a leader of some sort that's organizing it,
and there's a demeanor. You have the rite, yet you
have the freedoms within this country. You have the freedoms
to let your voice be heard. True, but there are
ways that you could do things, and there are rules
that you have to follow, and sometimes you may have
incidents where that gets out of hand. So this will
be handy for that as well. Okay, So listen when
(04:18):
you dial that. When you dial three three three number,
right that's not three, Well I shouldn't say three three
three three three three might be an actual number, and
someone will turn around and someone will actually dial that,
and we do not want them to do that. Okay,
So when you dial right, when you guys dial, okay,
(04:41):
did that make sense? When you when you guys.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Dial a number.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Those three numbers and they come to the scene, your
demeanor on this scene means everything. Now, if you are
the individual going through because someone dialed the three numbers
on you and the man the person in blue had
to show up on you, you probably are not going
to rationalize with all the things that I have in
the notes tonight, right, So all the individuals that are
(05:10):
dealing on the scene with you, they may want to
write tonight's notes in case you are, especially for those
individuals where they know you are a total minutes to sosigety,
and so they know that they're gonna need these notes
because they've been down that road with you before.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay. So if that's the case, that's fine. No judgment.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
This is a no judgment zone. So everybody is capable
of change. If you listen to the course the other night,
thank you for the eleven I appreciate that. Continue to
tap and thank you for the gifts. I highly appreciate
you that showing up Bryce, thank you for.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Coming in dancing emoji.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
When you have you reacting or you can do a
question mark in, you can feel free to ask a
question as well.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Asking questions is okay.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You can tap the screen if you want to come
on to contribute to the topic or just share your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
On a similar story. Okay, be mindful of the rules
the app when you're sharing your stories.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, all right, So the demeanor of the blue comes
out and the blue they are detaining the individual. The
demeanor of that of the person being detained often changes
quickly once they are fully under the soft click the
soft cuff. We don't call them the soft cuff, so
(06:23):
once let's change that in the notes. We're gonna call
it a soft cuff because we gotta be careful not
to offend the AI on this app.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Right, So, once the soft.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Cuffs have been put on because they want to ask questions,
the demeanor of the person sometimes changes, okay. And oftentimes
they could be inside of a business and the individuals
may have managers, like the recent story where the individuals
had the you know, the managers called out the men
(06:54):
in blue for the person who had came into and
attack the person one of the managers. So now you're
is signed the business and they are trying to conduct
this business and this investigation, and there are people around.
They're looking at all the doorways, they're looking at all
the people that they have to protect.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
They're also trying to get the information.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It is really helpful when there's one mic on the scene, okay,
because when all of you guys are talking, that is
not helpful. Everybody can't tell the story. At the same time,
You're going to get your opportunity to tell your version,
because I guarantee they're gonna send enough people out to
get your part of the story.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So just wait your way to turn.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I know the adrenaline is high, and I know you're
not gonna be thinking about it in the moment, but
hopefully these words will register if you end up in
that situation, You're going to get your chance to tell
the story.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
But one mic at a time. When on the scene, okay, So.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The demeanor of the person in the soft cuffs is
standing next to the blue he or she they are
usually possibly just under some kind of disagreement with what's happening.
They may not be happy about the situation that they
are in. They may not even feel justified that they
are in that situation.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So a calm.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Demeanor are all the individuals they notice how they show
to the scene. The majority of the time they show
to the scene calm. So when everyone has a calm demeanor,
everyone wants to listen to each other.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Then it makes these incidents go as.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Trained and everyone can get on and be about the
good business of freedom, right, because that's what you want.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You want to be on the freedom side. So if
you want to get to the business of freedom, you're
gonna have to follow the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That I'm gonna break out down for you today. Okay,
some people win in soft cuffs are apologetic. Sometimes they're apologetic.
They get you know, they recollect themselves because they they
are capable of expecting the unexpected.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We talked about that of the series, right, So they're
capable of behavior lists that they keep it coming in.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
They're capable of expecting the unexpected, so they know, Okay,
the scene has happened. I am now in soft cuff,
and I understand that I need to tell my side
of the story because I may feel it I didn't
do it, so they may feel that they have to
explain themselves, and then they may say, well, you know what,
I need an apologetic tone, and I need a tone
(09:14):
of respect if I'm going to be heard. Right. That's
anywhere wherever you are, whether you're at work, no matter what,
you may have to get a tone of respect in
order to be heard. Sometimes people need that respect in
order to listen to you. That is the lesson that
we talked about last night. If you missed that lesson,
I will make sure that clips of that lesson come
up again. But you can also follow the lessons in
(09:36):
full on my YouTube leak, Blink and bio.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, so, sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
When the soft cuffs are on there apologizing to the
man in blue and saying, you know what, I didn't
mean to do what I hat go up.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I went upside. Somebody here totally forgot that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I am not supposed to be put my hands on people.
I know that I am supposed to keep my hands
to myself, and all of a sudden, out.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of know where, the thorhammer came down there. I was right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So because I didn't think first and I made an
irrational decision.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I am now in this.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Situation, I am apologetic, and I know that I shouldn't. Now,
just because you say that you apologize, grow up people apologize,
It doesn't mean that the soft cuff comes off. Okay,
we're not gonna say the actual thing, right, because I
don't want there to be any confusion as to the
language that I'm using, because sometimes the AI will get confused.
That's why we say it soft cups. Right. So just
(10:28):
because the soft cuffs, you know, the soft cuts are
owner you apologize, that doesn't mean that the s the
situation is now over. And I see sometimes some people
get themselves caught up because thank you so much for
joining GQT. So some people get themselves all the way
caught up because they're saying, well, I mean I thought,
I apologize, now let me go. Well, sometimes it doesn't
(10:50):
work that way because the jurisdiction of.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The county that you're in.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Sometimes the rules are this and that they have to
enforce this or that, or you may be on a
private property. Now you're talking about an emminol rhyme with
that trespas So when that happens, then there's something too
different going on. Okay, so you don't know what all
that particular man in blue has to figure out about
(11:14):
how this is going to go. Oftentimes, the less you say,
the more a.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Person can think straight.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Because if a person in blue, can you know, you've
got all this clutter going on, then they have to
make a decision and decide. Okay, well maybe it's better
if this person just sits in the back of the court.
And you don't want that leather. You do not want
that leather on your leg. Okay, So you have to
listen to the things that I'm telling you, So write
it down. If you just write this down, okay, and
(11:42):
it may come to you at the time of Sometimes
when the soft cuffs are on, you know, like I said,
they're apologetic. And then there are those that are in denial.
When you have the individual that's in denial, I want
to talk to Grandma. I want to talk to Auntie.
I want to talk to mom. I want to talk
to all those who tend to be the the the rate,
(12:05):
the the enablers on the scene and and in denial
right along with the person that you had to the
the the irrational thing that never really I never really
comprehend is the enabler called the three numbers. They're neighbor,
the call M M M, and then when you called
and the blue came out, then you're in denial and
(12:28):
upset about the way that they have to go about
doing things. This is so confusing to me. So when
you decide that you are going to call, make sure
you are prepared for everything that comes with calling. It's
not a social call. You didn't invite them over to dinner.
They are not about to have Taco Tuesday with you.
That's not the reason why that is not in an
an eat invite. You know, when you dial that number,
(12:50):
oh so you can have some company and someone to
talk to, That's not what that number is for. So
once they come, they are coming to do whatever it
is that that dispatcher said to them needs to be
happening on the scene.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
They're there to do their job. So your job is
to act.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Like you have some common sense as a person that
is in that community and paying your taxes and getting
what it is that you pay your taxes for the
protection that you so desire.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So the less that you do.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
In the negative, the less negative that you do, the
easier that this process could impossibly go right, expecting unexpected
at all things in life.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
But I'm just giving some tips.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I made a promise I wasn't gonna bump today, but
I'm sorry if it's bumping the computer, you guys podcasters
back to you, Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So, Also, some people, when they're in the soft cuffs,
they laugh.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Some people's in the soft custs they begin to laugh
hysterically because they are just nervous. Some people have a
nervous laughter and so they may begin to laugh hysterically.
That could throw the scene off. You know, just hoping
that everyone around the scene can continue to check their
demeanor because that person and may just feel extremely nervous.
This may be something that they've never experienced before. They
(14:04):
know they did something wrong, they know that this is
possibly the outcome of what's coming, but they may just
be laughing hysterically and.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That may not make sense. So you got to continue to.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Focus on everyone's demeanor remaining calm, because it is how
you carry yourself that is your resume going forward, right,
so you definitely want to keep you know that can happen.
Other things that was discussed earlier is a person could
become angry I mean totally the one that caused the scene, right, hey, precious,
(14:39):
totally the.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
One that caused the scene and will.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Turn around and somehow I'm sorry, you guys, I am
pushing something that I didn't want to push.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay, there we go. I'm so sorry about that. Okay,
So totally they will end up upset. What in the
world are you upset about?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But that's that's not Sometimes that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
But my opinion is, you know, you're all over wherever
this is happening that my opinion is we're.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Listening and not judging.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Sometimes people will become upset that the person decided to
call out the people in blue, and so when they
are upset, they may have to be dealt with in
the way that the people in blue.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Are trained to do.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Right, So, once the people in blue are doing what
they what they have to do to get the person
to stop being in that mode of upset, you know,
that's really not nothing. You know, all the extra people
on the scene business.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So I know you.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Want to get involved, but you need to move to
the side, try to collect yourself. Call your person. Do
you have someone in your phone that you can call
the notes how to calm you down. So if you do,
if you don't know how to calm down on your
own when things are going on and when you're on
when something is happening on the scene, if you don't
know how to do that on your own, then maybe
(15:58):
consider calling someone to say this is my goal to person.
I call this person and they helped me. But don't
make this like we talked about last night. These are
ten percent of the year, ten percent of a two
year time frame kind of incidents. This is happening more
than ten percent.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Of the time.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't really think it should happen ten percent of
the time, but life is unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
So if it's.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Happening more than ten percent of the time, especially in
a two to five year Marisol, thank you for coming by,
precious GQT.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Think you for stopping it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So thank you for sharing the live GQT. I highly
appreciate that. So when it comes to you know, individuals,
you know this, it shouldn't happen all the time, and
you need to be considering getting a distance away from
individuals that have this kind of you know, energy and
negativity and menace to societyness.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Going on all the time.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Who wants to be around that, And if it's possible
for you to be in another space, please consider distancing
yourself now. Disclaimers that I wanted to put out on
this Demeanor series.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I am coach D Shiels.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
For those who do not know, please make sure that
you follow me on YouTube the links in the bio.
You can also go over to Instagram. I am D
Shields the links in the bio. You can get a
free copy tonight of the Demeanor Book. The Demeanor Book
is coming out. The e book has a look at
what's coming, so you can get a copy tonight of
the Demeanor Book.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, so take a break, don't leave, okay, seventeen. That's
not bad. Thank you so much. I highly appreciate that.
Thank you so much. Okay, So, if under the influence.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
My disclaimer, If under the influence, it may be a
mixture of all those emotions that I just talked about, right.
You may get a mixture of apologetic, You may get
a mixture of denial. You may get a mixture of
the hysterical laughter that could happen okay often and then
or the anger okay, and then sometimes the person simple
(18:00):
may say that the person was just quiet. You know,
they were aware of what happened, and you know, today
is not a good day form and they are just
quiet and they're reflecting, and so they turn around and
they just get you know, the soft cuffs on, and
then they just get on back, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
They just get on back to to what's happening.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
They understand that, you know, a bad decision was made,
bad you know, actions happen in that day, and they're
just quiet on the ride. Possibly, I don't know, I'm
just guessing what could possibly be on their mind.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So the disclaimer under that is sometimes it could be
that that they will you know, end up being quiet
and the reflection of choices. Possibly that could just you know,
they're just reflecting on the choices that they made. Their
life may even flash before their eyes as they you know,
go on that ride, however long it is, to whatever
station that they're headed to.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So that's a disclaimer that I another, I mean, a
disclaimer that I wanted to add. You know, if under
the influence, it may be a mixture of all those things, right,
And then another disclaimer in some cases it's a mental
health situation. Every county knows how to deal with those
and the professionals in blue know how to handle should write,
a majority know how to handle a situation like that, right,
(19:18):
And so that's the greatest thing about the training and everything.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That they do.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
They know what they're doing. You're not trained. You don't
know what's happening. You don't know what's supposed to happen.
So let them do their job. Okay, we're gonna talk
about that. Also, and even if you have an opinion goal.
I used to always tell people, go inside in a
closed room and close yourself in the bathroom and talk
to the mirror about it. Learn how to be quiet.
All right, So we already covered that. Now family and friends.
(19:49):
Do I have enough time? Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Okay, so I'm about four minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I may go over a little bit family and friends interference.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
When the authority f.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And when the person in blue is in investigation, minutes
or hours on the scene. This is an investigation. It's
the process. This process of the arrest or arrival to
the scene is an active investigation. You hear them say
that often right may have to put soft cuffs on
individuals in order for this to go in a call manner,
(20:25):
and some people may get cuffs that aren't even a
part of what's happening, continue to have the screen.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Thank you so much for that. You guys almost got
into seven hundred. I highly appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
So family and friends interfering could sometimes just get this is.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
An active investigation.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
That's the main thing I want you to know when
that happens, right, you tend to if you want to interfere,
it may not be wise to do so, and you
may cause now to have to be moved over so
that you are not in the way of whatever it
is that they came out to do. Right, So it's
really important for family and friends to check their demeanor
(21:03):
as well. Okay, it's so important that family and friends
check their demeanor as well.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Do not risk having to be a person.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You call the three numbers and you ask for the
persons to come out. The person's a blue to come out,
and then when you call the numbers, you asked for
them to come out, and then next thing you know, you're.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Going because you didn't know how to carry yourself.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Is that what you really wanted to happen. That is
not what you wanted to happen. Okay, So learn how
to carry yourself. That part is so key, all right,
dancing emojis, question marks.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Anything like that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You guys want to get on the microphone, anyone has
a story that they want to share, anything like that,
this is your opportunity to do so, all right, And
we covered all those different steps. I hope that you
were able to get something out.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Of today's series.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
