seventeen this is our most imaginative most amount of guy said like no no no but it's on row which is. every time that ben knight barack or do they change me on to fatten. you to see somebody and i did in a coal way i don't need no bottom for the seed i mean just say no to your gaze kind of expose my life it's a lot of. the first that they have been because of violence it was like you know it was a shotgun but we came together.

the second one it was odd but we still came to get it in a day when everybody just seemed just in case split up. one thing we do as citizens one thing we tend to do is to humanize human beings so we talk in terms of how many people were murdered norms what are the numbers so what do we do about that mindset what do we do to humanize murder the only way that that we could think to do it was to name them. each day is listed on a board with the name of the person they're a church and how they were killed without respect to where they're from what their

color is what they did or did not do for a living whether they graduated or didn't from moscow where they dealing drugs not you don't know if you look at that board we were. very. slightly more. well my. shah sometimes i look at our little church and our little walls and say you know how much wall space do i have here after a while this will get to look celie and stuff like that i suppose when we looked more like maybe milwaukee and a half million people and they killed fifty three people not two hundred fifty. odd.

the all. ha. ha ha ha ha my name is a mia baracoa as a kid growing up in the projects of new orleans i saw shootings like this all the time and eventually committed acts of violence myself at the serving five years in jail i began to help kids to mentor but this story isn't about me this is a story about the environment in which i grew up. a wild night across metro new orleans someone sprays a crowd with bullets as they were leaving a high school basketball game five people good evening and all nine people were shot tonight including an eleven year old to be in five separate shootings in new orleans and jefferson parish has

a nine year old boys are covering tonight after another drive by shooting in new orleans east it's much like the one where the two year old girl was shot and killed several kids playing in the middle of the afternoon when the gunfire broke out a shooting happened just after seven i was called in the crossfire as a way that is able to record it was the target shooting. this is a story about what it's like being young and surrounded by family but it's also a story about finding solutions. you tolerate as unable. to watch children have to see this day after day. and it. and one nine hundred sixty s. had his largest population and his small is murder rate but in the course of fifty years over ten thousand people have been murdered and since two thousand and five more people have been killed than those who lost their lives when the levees broke . at this moment there was

a battle being waged each and every day on the streets of new orleans it is a battle for the heart and soul of this great city by the time you wake up tomorrow morning i will have likely received another message. the worst part of my day that says exactly the same thing mr mayor was sorry to inform you that earlier this evening police officers responded to gunshots when they arrived on the scene they found a young african-american male face dale in blood gunshots in the back of his head he was announced dead on arrival there are no witnesses.

the first script that the browns. dad in all the son's right that culture next one that's a load of crap and over there you know got your next one that's ok i would go to the next one extra room can you i'm a real live people if the people listening to can tell you i'm tom i take children . across the street from the shoot there's a screen printing shop or rest in peace t. shirts are the most popular either give us or when a person passed away it's like giving flowers just recently to remember that person to show that this was my friend this was my loved one the day he died the next

morning in the shop get my shirt and you go to church every day until that person is better dressed. similar. to. when you hold a shirt you write your words down sometimes. heard so much that people don't have words and now it's me to come up with words on x. me to come up with words our actual what type of person was and from there the designs come from mighty many shops have opened to meet the demands for shirts about twenty all together with a three mile square radius there's not a soul as i basically wanted to do birthdays for every old planes more limited than you can survive without the one rest in peace or with your business will never grow because i'm the world's. first face to my whole family rest in

peace presently. he was the quiet person who the hard work but he worked on the riverfront and he loved spending time with his kids wish they were babies when he was killed with one and three he had a nickname goof troop after the the disney character goofy because he always said funny things you know to make people laugh the boys there plays back in my head all the time is like what's wrong with my what i can remember about david is when he's twelve years trying to. scratch records on my little k.-mart stereo hours and hours and hours of david spending at his turntables mixing music and making music i think we were watching like american idol or a talent show i can just remember that the people on t.v. saying in this sound a really bad for van want to go out on his birthday to celebrate with when i was nephew and this car pulled up into a parking lot that was there was nearby and told them to come here. and that's when

the nightmare began we hear and it would sounds like an explosion that pop pop pop but boom boom boom the whole house shakes he shook me he was like my get up shoot ninja mangas shot and then i looked down and there is my son. lying on the ground there's a hole in his chest where the bullet bike in his chest me behind his ear a die f. lee in the core and then and then you're left with the blood on the sidewalk the neighbors the police tape much i was killed for no reason no reason he's saying is that he done it because because my son just was standing there he was going to be a witness somebody here that much power in your life that they woke up and decided another human being would not walk the plane or another day.

yes. magri is a high school she likes documents life video cam i want to let you guys see. how hard i'm trying to get to my goal. i want to be a courier so you know that's not going to be easy this going to be tough challenges in life but i really want to be a congressman i know what it takes to get and i'm striving for you know stand on a road of what it takes right now in this moment his struggles are similar to many teams i'm mad at sixteen be frustrated with his education all i want to do is just do this right but sometimes just one just do the simple thing

a simple blood test to his right just know or you know especially when you get kids turning so you're in the teacher's trying to make you feel stupid about you raising your hand excellent question you know matt took a video camera to school to record a class he was not going to run if you're a student or my question was oh i'm anybody. else. i'm. so much you know going to richmond it was. you know this guy had it and you know where he. was wrong about you know what you want out of you do not continue to throw p.b.'s meet somebody who is younger. you know you keep us. in this course is basically like fighting for the teacher or think. you know what

faith if you leave the. economic up and downs and the find out all day long the deal sang i and the rest because i think the case you will be if we call me. choose your language killed if we kill with zero in federal custody still so much. to split the consensus can. choose the opinions that degrade to. choose to stories that imply the. truths be accessed often.

ok let's take another look very sorry to take you. to get here. at that back with that her hair that looks. like. the fiscal. cliff. the flimsiest. live.

in many changes to the public school system in the last few years but kids see classes like mats are still common students with disciplinary issues may be punished but in many cases the root causes are not addressed often these problems escalate to violence. and sometimes they're resumed after school where there's greater access to weapons . they grab a certain neighborhood make you feel like you need something to protect yourself and your state is not going to take it easy because you came points above all no fighting wants i mean this is my fight is in school mike we can get out just any minor just because what i think kids have guns is for all different types of

reasons i think perception is the main reason why people have what do you protect yourself. out of a lot of people who. are negative but it's something that they get respect from a tab of both you have a k forty seven. we caught in the chapel i was in a gun is way easier to get than to take food now here looking for a cellar like. a life bed full about the big textbooks are way more expensive to get to some people get a phone punch. some time most of the time it be legal but you have to order them online and stuff like this you can just walk into the store and buy and i don't see textbooks like that in walmart. take. the rap group u t p featuring

the frame i just want to see if they became like jack it was a really no bystander no by really doing that and they're like man in my up to remember that night and like i did what happened and i'm like man no everybody can feel like. they had a gun shop it was on the borderline of like new orleans and jefferson parish called elliot's and it was just i was so. you get could just this was no paradise a lot of hunting going only it is normal and then in the wheezy the last station you must be twenty want to buy a hand but you can buy a hunting rifle at the age of eighteen assault rifle falls into the hung rival category so if you have look class s k s s make eight hundred eighteen out of no use i didn't say you eight hundred by one and a hundred. he just makes a hundred dollars and i hope i was in the hood and a.k.l. so right with thirty round clip if you let the people instead of them going to operate in the office with fifteen twenty year the cumulation and go. to the

lisa's work with youth and the summer they started the day care for kids who had nothing to do two weeks after summer camp a young man was shot a block and a half from here when that occurred and i'm driving home seeing that body on the other side of police tape and what's more than that seeing the kids and the neighbors it was a normal occurrence in their lives and i just said we're going to open a center now we're not going to open it two years from now and i'm going to five years from now we're not going away to the experts tell us we dotted all the i's and crossed all the t.'s at the center over the fish patches quickly learn about the kinds of obstacles they would face lisa recalls a story about giving one of the kids a bike i gave him a bicycle because he'd been walking to work to the french quarter the donor had been generous with us so we decided to give him the bicycle to go to work he had had that bicycle only a few hours got a block from my house and officer pulled him over yanked off of his bike

threw him down face down on the ground and accused him of stealing about so now that young man he takes my six year old to the store with him for protection because a six year old white child is protection from the p.d. . a two thousand and eleven report from the department of justice confirms the claims of many new orleans you are findings reveal the pattern of practice of unconstitutional conduct or violations of federal law in several areas these included violations committed by officers through their actions including the use of excessive force unconstitutional stops searches and arrests and racial profiling and ethnic profiling the report details dead indeed the limited arrest data that

the department collects points to racial disparity in arrest of whites and african-americans in virtually all categories where particularly dramatic disparity african-american youth on the age of seventeen. how many have been pulled by police they don't know me so i might seem like i'm a bad person but you like you don't know me sometimes you know they do good deeds and they help people. that have seen the police raise people and the people i've seen into people actually in from i do it playing basketball just kind of break the whole basketball game going to go. to jail and i think crown thanks. i think all please quote. i would want to know some of them are bad but not not all of them because i met some police officers and staff at the disrupt. description and so i'm at. let me say i don't want to beg her on but the closest

thing i can give you typed them by saying all of them a bit because that'll be done with someone new to me they start with so many times they go to call your barmy like yeah yeah i'm against the that's what happened against theirs they get pulled over by the cops you know when really i'm not really a gangster is maybe still like that you know it made me feel like i was i wouldn't even wanted to my own society. might be pretty shortly to say. the least so the. man may be. i was just a little old. they had a nationality or. for

those who do get arrested the rollies the courthouse in orleans parish prison known as opie p c c interviews two brothers about being locked up you have been known to be. right there your parents about would be. clearly there message does doesn't when you don't. know the no beef with them. all right bill throughout both of them are pretty good in fact as occasions. when you were black in the twenty three hours i wanted to hear one hour of free for. oh how did that make you feel. i don't want to cage them and they are like there are

niggers in a sale and that bill to sell just to get it how you live don't you think that is one of the most extreme examples of the city's arrest mentality is a story of kevin griffin their first run in with the first offense ten years old never done anything remotely has been i got a lot of fights as a kid you know with that the children but never so this experience and kevin was a kid he was cornered by three bullies he broke a bottle to the fin and self and the show it blinded one of the boys kevin was arrested and tried for attempted murder my legal came to court drunk every day he greet the alcohol every time so i don't have a great defense kevin served five years in it to lure you prison and not the easy and it was a lot of that a lot of thinking going on you know is like me a lot and then by me being a christian i was like a lot of tall going to. meet next but mason is like i'm ten

and i'm sitting here saying. hey i'm still small. all i can run circles around kevin into the place more brutal than the place he left behind a lot of abuse by guards a lot of us. among the four inmates there as well but a lot of the stem from the abuse from from the guards if you use that to kevin's release to loop prison was closed now for mistreatment of him makes by the department of justice would assistance from the juvenile justice project of louisiana you know there's a lot of misconceptions about what are the most effective ways to reduce juvenile crime or to improve public safety across the board well we too often see is putting more money into building more prisons or you know the solution is more police officers on the street. so what you're arguing for is that courage should pull back after making identity

a boss that national identity let me ask you a personal question for this guy it's a current first or an iraq a first i'm a kurd first and then i mean rocky i am not iraqi that i am a kurds because let me ask you that question i am from holland i have been bombarded you know i still remember the smell of the chemical weapons so what iraqi identity brought to me iraq and into brought to me the killing soft people mass graves four thousand five hundred villages were destroyed. and.

there's a media leave us so we leave that maybe. i will see bush and see you in the play your party there's a good. shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics. are today. live. live. live live.

live . right to see. first street. and i think that you're. on a reporter's twitter. and instagram. to be in the know. on.

a kind of militants are controlling major cities in iraq a show of strength not since seen since their battles with u.s. forces a decade ago we look at who these insurgents are and how they became so strong. while in syria al-qaeda linked rebels and other opposition groups are engulfed in bloody infighting the forthcoming peace talks are under threat from the growing divisions among those aimed top to topple assad. approval ratings for either leaders dip into an all time low as bailouts and austerity trigger a clearance sale of countries assets to patch up the budget holes are to reports on how many people are upset with the move by at a borg it may not be a small.
