when we twisted our home up in the air and there was about to break the woman on so i say what are you doing man this little woman co-employees you crazy because like a shot a picture got by i say so you will break your leg which you got a piper it so the lady was dramatic i know my back i know my line is i lied right so she tried to run she moment of her head to learn to go i see my letter go so they let it go and she opened up her hand it was a night light or so i told myself when i was a horse in medicine that we don't but it's perfect sure i'm still the general so i tell myself i've got to go get me some soldiers while i'm you know walking around here to talk to one of my friends and he told me man you need to go to l.a. camp he said they do that kind of stuff. and so from him witnessing an injustice a day later he's. gone through leadership development classes and now three years later he's our leader human rights we're going to answer my job is to is to keep trying to wake up the messes you know and keep you know exploit you know stay with

the system is doing. it right now more personal hero and i think all. the time general. and the reason i admire him so much as the reason i admire so many people. he's really somebody who grew up here and i'm now sperms are always energy basically trying to from the rights of other folks to their. general did nine years in the state been six of those nine years were done in solitary confinement. is the individual that if you listen to the policy makers if you listen to people with money and wealth and power there's no rehabilitating. you know he's a career criminal i guess you would have said the same thing about malcolm malcolm x. that he was a career criminal and now he's on a postage stamp. date a second. and even a time. look you. a

smile. came from always going to really help me. far. to day the reason why i get up and go do what i do every day you know when i go work for. me. as first responders to emergency calls the skid row fire. back in the mid seventy's the city made a policy that skid row would be a contained preserved area much like an indian reservation or. unwashed on one it would be contained literally. for humanitarian reasons that it would be easier.

if you're one of the other important things to understand. is that it's not primarily a homeless population and people tend to think it is and it's really critical people understand that because if you think of skid row is primarily a homeless population that's one set of issues with one set of solutions then you build large shelters and if you do it the way some people at city hall would like it. that's not what skid row is principally endangered low income residential community in the fifty blocks of skid row there are sixty five what we call single room occupancy housing without this people would have nowhere to go who in the private or the public sector. a single adult whose total income is a two hundred twenty three dollars check. the majority of people who. are social security. the reason why we call this community

a hole because what we can afford. you know we have to go to a community redevelopment agency is a good moratoriums that stopped. conversion of low income housing units into condos in los. we lost a thousand units and about three or four year period from about two thousand to two thousand and four. it took the city a long time to respond with a moratorium on losing that housing gentrification. which new people who come in and they have higher income levels and the economic good the older people were forced to leave. and all these uptown or some want to come and have their sort of disneyland manhattan experience they have other options to other communities they can go to but the poor skid row really have no other housing anywhere at all almost anyone would say if you've got to be crazy why would you save skid row what is the possible value of saving

a skid row if you think about it by if thousands of people on main street lose their house and that's thousands of people for whom the city will have to build a massive and costly shelter system and makes far more sense to preserve the housing the poor living and let the poor continue to pay their own brand so makes good economic sense not just good social and moral sense for the city to in fact preserve the housing that's in the skid row area. there are a lot of empty lost in the area the city could convert that into housing for me under. twenty four thousand dollars a year to have someone. supportive housing him housing with services the. eighty five percent of your return sure it. is. from forty to one hundred thousand dollars a year people through the emergency room mr turtle's record store. this is the famous security. street by street fame it's no longer we're.

on the train. there they are we're there somewhere. that. whole world for a war that. every . little. bit of. this hears reasonable things that they

do down here they harass people. over and they'll stop the same person maybe a five times one day and this goes on all day no day just decide to see if you were a white t. shirt and shorts you could soon be though don't they are arguing so that probable cause to be stopped which is. no where in the world in the neighborhood could not stand in the street not still not great nowhere but downtown austin slowly place to get to this. cheap or is neighborhood still play all day. just in the street all day come downtown los is black are you brown you can still say i will kill little prick just can't post street kids just to supplant. for years officials turned a blind eye to skip around in two thousand and six the chaos finally caught the

city's attention fifteen new police officers were deployed to an area less than one square mile in size. the safer city soonish it cost the city of los angeles six million dollars in its first year alone. we say for certain is initiative that was launched in september two thousand and six a bill on the drawing board since two thousand and two it was originally called the homeless reduction strategy that was launched with a vengeance in september of two thousand and six and there was an effort there was really chartered by mayor of the overdose of chief bratton knows a comprehensive approach to skid row. where we're going to be to promise there was going to be a serious crackdown on what was called serious crime and skid row and then there was to be a big expansion of services. well our one of those things happened and the other

one didn't. really put zero dollars him to your services side to come in so hard with the enforcement without having the the enhancement patients getting the services that are necessary to make this out the community is kind of backwards if you make me get off the sidewalk where am i going to homeless where i'm going we need to really go where my grower you know take me out. so there were two are going to just sit here i can't stand here i can lay here so you know where you are go when you look at the crime it's occurring here in skin and when you see the drug dealing. in your life you need prostitution on the train on unless we have every right and every responsibility givers sponsibility to address and i stand behind the scenes. nice to see because. you know.

you'd think that the mayor was you know east in a way talked about safer cities you would think he was mother teresa. instead of being the most fascist democrat and the most that you know he's always allowed the fascists to take over his city administration the manhattan institute and as far as i'm concerned up from my perspective chief bratton runs a stand sitting here and i don't know why we have a mayor. rule of resources here. to see. quality of life and said this was the last time maybe three full. police chief william bratton made his name cleaning up new york city with the controversial broken windows theory of crime wave action. safer cities how to implement the same policy in his town. the same tactics that was shown and broken windows theory in new york right where they say concept by you the same way he

justified new york in the same way you plan on jennifer. california but consequences are really bad devastating for lives of the people here especially people with disabilities the first year there were nine thousand arrests an area of the tour over thirteen thousand people or twelve thousand citations issued most for cyprus where literary or care workers someone who kept under the thirty or five americans who have a warrant for their arrest. there's a saying you know when you're in the arctic you have feel entitled well to chill feet. she looks like a fairly simple ship. full of people. the
