a grid between concrete ribbons of freeway. two miles of the west is a pacific coast highway and the beaches that money. five most of the north drilled they all drive in beverly hills. seven miles to the east to corner of hollywood by twenty five miles south those orange county and disneyland. surrounded by the california dream this region best known legs. on its streets there up to the country's most violent outbreak of civil unrest not once twice it's also the home of america's two most infamous african-american gangs crips and bloods is bloody forty year feud has taken five times as many lives as the long running sectarian conflict in northern ireland it was devastating body count continues

today. but in south los angeles. life wasn't always this way. once to. the one nine hundred fifty s. three friends from south l.a. ron bird. grew up reaching for the piece of the american dream. the most significant thing was when i went to join the boy scouts good boy scouts of america. my mother taking up to scout to be good your robert plant with the original bill if one thousand nine hundred thirty three to nine hundred eighty three parked in our neighborhood right there what there to join the boy scouts my mother did with the scout master. it was nice but he chose my mother well i don't

but we never called us selfish jack that was something that this. city police would describe this as we were clubs. what drew me to sloths and was that they mirrored who i was and it made one feel like one had some status and you had an identity and identity that you didn't have anywhere else. the sense of family has a sense of acceptance you also have a way to wheel some power because now you've got numbers. in those days we give you a point. because you have to be here because everybody else in town knew but you know. this occurred how good are those things i say these days my dear i shall be cheering landover back to the studio here to look through a sad burns off. before we. just what we call wolf and oh you know

i was good with my hands that's what he said and he does you know you looking for somebody to tell him i'm getting a phone. it wasn't really about destroying somebody really just a competitive day and you know just competing with. his time and produce all the time. my mother. always said you know what did you do just that i didn't do anything you know see people including parents could not believe that the man just after a lot of. young black men in this society have always been represented as the most threatening figures possible. their use as being people.

will. commit crime. from one hundred fifty to nine hundred sixty six the los angeles police department was commanded by chief we are. chief barker ran a police department like a military unit and the people who bought it brought us word of black residents that it was far and. bigger and. not that hard to get out and so the cops were treating these young black men as though they were enemies as they were in warfare. it was an open secret that one of the tacit duties of the l.a.p.d. was to make sure people were in the right neighborhoods at the right time and alameda boulevard was the white curtain in l.a.

you didn't cross alameda for no reason at all east of these away areas linwood south gate you couldn't go there you had cops they didn't want you there and blacks that danes to cross the line were quickly put in place by police officers. one time i was walking down the street on seventy seventh and central and the man said hey you. heard him and i kept walking he say you and they ran on the curb jumped out the car and say did you hear it's called you a shepherd say you know my name not you so you know get up against a wall and such a soul and it look like i've been robbed. as well out of the rubble and she looks just like you. know. so the idea was to create not only a segregated society but the idea that those of darkened you were inferior and

should be treated as such. and after a while you begin to internalize this and you develop a deep seeded self hatred. because you see yourself as having almost no value. in a free society i'm walking down a street pole he's got the nerve to ask me where you go where you come you know he'll damn good as well going. i mean i'm going to help them because when i came from. tell me where you go. people ask you what are you doing here you go anywhere they ask anybody else what they do and. you stop and ask anybody else in a society why you exist. going to step out of sand and you got the nerve to ask me that all day every day now what do you think that does to me psychologically what does it tell me what message there might be and fear every day so you'll understand it every day speed me

a spoon for the hatred. every day that's my doc spoonful the hatred. you see. pan it's just a question of when is this going to erupt and upon whom is it going to erupt i will attack myself am i going to tax my brother you understand i want to tax my own image you know i'm going to eventually attack the cause of my anger and my frustration. at seven pm on the sea level one thousand and sixty five in the corners of a hundred sixteenth an awful lot twenty one year old watts resident market fraud was pulled over by the california highway patrol on suspicion of drunk driving. a routine traffic stop until police insisted on impounding fries car despite being

less than two blocks from so. mother. joined the rapidly growing crowd along with mark grew increasingly belligerent what they felt was the heavy handed police response. reinforcements who called him. and his mother and brother was taken into custody. of the crowd continue to swell as word of the incident swept through the neighborhood. water from the. what happened. to the as we just. it was a cumulative it was one. two minute the as. long as the mission and three cretaceous three. four judges three.

the cutting through a call for order came a voice that only the night before was raised by thousands in the street and i would take night if you like. i think this week the negro people down here have got. to tell you. we know it's real and you can show it you greater than living it show that it doesn't work it doesn't destroy. it in oppressed as we would take to be. their parents are coming from places where black men are expected to step up the street and say yes to a twelve year old white boy. where black men are lynched with regularity. and so from their perspective los angeles looks wonderful they're certainly aware of the flaws but they recognize it's such an improvement their children however

evan very different perspective. we come along and we teach you to win that. topic can americans again filled the streets. but this time over two hundred feet and deputy sheriff. so here we are in a crowd at night when. things in such disarray and we're facing cops in the street . and they went to move the crowd back. so when we moved forward. and so you're looking at one of the. and your reading of people and the body language that says it's going to build. in

a fire from around the crowd. is oh now. please let's friday morning additional police were called in from all points of l.a. to squash what authorities were now termed a full scale life legacy they call it a right to look. we would. see it as guerrilla warfare but the reason that you can't say it is because you never gave the so-called nickel up and tell it to be spread to some of the little. her little legs then what happens is that it becomes

a big newspaper story which increases political pressure on the authorities to do something. illegal live in a body a sixteen thousand national guard. led national guard particulars an official explained to engage in civilian crowd completely at least. at that point they point to the other issue which was the iron fist the aren't. a this these leads to a virtual free fire zone where people could be shot. making . the wrong time at the wrong intersection. claimed by police because it feels

a little bit worse refusing orders to go to. the autopsies clearly show people were shot in the back. one has to really question whether or not a human one is worth all of your a case of fear. that is to say people were being killed for what can retrospect one of the most trivial of offenses. really and did not to mind anything because we're talking about desperate people we're talking about people who have nothing to see no hope. this is a criminal a lawless element with which we're confronted and that the only thing they understand is farce and. that's been the one taboo. is that black people and other oppressed people in this

country are never to use violence to achieve what it is they want. but this country uses violence whenever it chooses and then it legitimizes the violence. sinitta masses my life is of no value how can your property how can your society how can a civilization how can any of them or rules or any of the monuments how can any of it be of any value to me. but all it has on the door for me is a rejection helps i'm not on. i'm not allowed to touch not allowed to partake dissipate. all my life i was rejected before i was born and the

most reject nothing is open to me. and every time i'm not on a door and get rejected takes a little something out of. the fact it took them a ship down from a barbecue ship down in the bay is a testament to the revolutionary spirit. and so there was this sense of pride to be a taking a stand and to be it sent the message out to the world. a. is. such. a thing of the rebellion represented for us it was a real fix celebrate our consciousness from sixty five until about seventy one again activity you know labels all time low because so many young people with
