The video opens with Speaker A delivering an official police briefing about a mass shooting that occurred early in the morning at the intersection of 10th and K in Sacramento. The report confirms six fatalities and approximately ten injured individuals, and it urges the public to provide any information that could help identify the suspects. The second half features Speaker B, DB Bedford, known as the "EI Guy," who uses the tragedy as a platform to discuss emotional intelligence (EI). He argues that the shooter’s actions stemmed from unchecked emotions overwhelming rational thought, and he emphasizes personal responsibility, the importance of managing one’s emotional state, and the broader societal need to cultivate EI. Bedford shares personal anecdotes about handling firearms, draws parallels between extreme violence and everyday verbal aggression, and makes a strong call to action: viewers should share his message, enroll in his EI courses, and help grow a community that prioritizes emotional regulation to prevent future incidents. He concludes with condolences and a plea for collective healing.
Chapters
At 2 o'clock in the morning last— this morning, our officers were in the area here at 10th and K, and they heard shots being fired. They responded to our scene behind me and located a large crowd. They found that multiple people unfortunately had been shot, and this is a really tragic situation. We now have confirmed that we had 6 people killed in the area of 10th and K. An additional 10 people were transported or self-transported to area hospitals. So we are asking for the public's help in helping us to identify the suspects in this and provide any information that you can to help us solve this.
Peace, fam. DB Bedford here, the EI Guy. You know, my number one goal in life is to try to convince anybody that's listening to never let your emotions overpower your intelligence. You know, I sat on this Sacramento shooting since Yesterday, thinking about if I want to speak on it or not. When I woke up this morning, I just couldn't get over the fact that six people are dead and ten people got injured because somebody, somebody let their emotions overpower their intelligence. And what do I mean when I say that? I mean that just because people do bad things. Doesn't mean they don't have any intellect, but in the midst of their emotional rage, all logic goes out the window, which is why we say when emotions are high, logic is low. And so what does emotional intelligence have to do with a gunman, right? Gunman, gunman, or gunman who decides for whatever reason To fire into a crowd of people and not be thoughtful of what the end result's gonna be. Well, to me, people need to understand that you are responsible for how you act, no matter how you feel. And so let's put this in perspective. I got a couple of guns. You probably got a couple of guns. And people piss me off all the time. There are times where I feel disrespected. There are things that I still struggle to let go sometimes of people who have done or said things to me. And even though I might even feel like doing something to somebody, when you practice emotional intelligence, you understand how you feel, but you're responsible with what you do with that feeling. And I think that the sooner society realizes that this is a real thing This is not something, no fairy tale. This is not some, you know, a foo-foo type of living. It is really important to be able to understand how you feel, which is your mood, your attitude, and your energy, and manage that feeling that you have. Extremely important. And I know because I've been someone who fired a gun several times in my life, I understand every time I did that, that emotions were high and logic was And the point I want to make here, even for you, you may not go to that extreme, but in your everyday engaging with people, you may not physically assault people, but you probably verbally assault folks with your bad energy, with your attitude, with the way you respond to things, to the way you responded to that email, that text, the way you engage with the ones that you love. I think it's very powerful. To understand the value of emotional intelligence. And, you know, I just think about, you know, whoever they were, they, they killed 6 people, which means that's 6 funerals, 36 pallbearers, right? There's 6 families that have to go through this traumatic experience. There's the 10 people that got shot. So you multiply that, and then all of the people who were running for their lives. So one person or a small group of people decided that whatever happened They were going to disregard everybody else and take this extreme action because they were in their feelings. And this is why emotional intelligence is something that not only that I am dedicated to doing, but you should be dedicated to doing. And you should be helping me spread the word to as many people as possible because you and I never know when that person is on the edge, right? I always say. Emotions are fragile, but emotions are not fragile like a flower. They fragile like a bomb because at any given time people will lose their shit. And I need you to help me by sharing my videos, taking my courses, and telling many people as possible about emotional intelligence so we do not find ourselves constantly in these same situations over and over again. Sending prayers. And vibes of healing to the families and everyone that has been impacted by this senseless act. To whoever done this, it all boils down to one thing. It doesn't matter why. What it matters is you had a feeling about something and you were unable to manage the way that you responded to it. And now there are hundreds of people that are— maybe thousands of people whose lives have been changed forever. And we have to get more people in the groove of practicing emotional intelligence. We have to grow this community. We don't have time to keep playing. I need you to help me grow this community so that we can get people on board, because we don't know when the next time somebody gonna lose their shit and get out here and do something stupid. Peace in the mouth.
