00:00 Is there anything you want to say?

00:08 I just went there, I saw like too much people, yeah.

00:20 Police say you were filmed smashing two police cars when you posted it to your Instagram account.
00:24 It was a mistake from me, I know.
00:26 Why did you do that?
00:27 I don't know, just like they piss me off about stuff like that being a joke.
00:32 Why were they doing that?
00:33 Because they like quite some of the police and the street bus like after,
00:38 and that police started like to hit some people there,
00:42 and I saw the guy there, his hand like all was bleeding, all the clothes.
00:46 So you were angry at the police?
00:48 Yeah, but I didn't say anything.
00:49 And then you went and smashed two police cars?
