5:51 am
are the future of these kids all the future of the city and we are hoping to get to where they need to be. it's a home cooking. having a good. cook does but the other two pieces of your. beef. try to. get a good base. we were shopping malls. i asked the teacher that one day i have
5:52 am
seen this while we go home with them or the reason. they don't feel like doing the work. forty you've got forty kids to a class forty kids paper. plus homework they say oh we're going to get a relative audience so we just. know we need the education i should be able to do day four was not say oh we don't. blame the teachers because the tondo home where he got cut out of the school systems having budget cut is not every day you see a kid go to school do what i got to do. to get out the hood i'll make sure i'm doing i'm going to school for a reason it's not a lot of time you see a lot of people state school some get out the way some of. my mom and my dad stop saying some i get out the house now we head. teachers urban teachers they did not
5:53 am

5:54 am
if we. can do all. these allowed to gangsta right. to free said no. you can't act as a police officer without probable cause even if you see somebody who looks suspicious they're doing something suspicious you can't necessarily do a lot about it unless you see that i'm doing something specific so you may see somebody standing out and it's really cold out and they're along and you want to know what they're doing but you really can't search them or anything like that.
5:55 am
typical things that you might be looking for are people who are out in cold weather or in odd parts of the city you could observe them from a distance if they can't see. these under the saloon there he's at a bar he's standing outside and people inside may know that if you want anything go outside and see that guy pick it up to take a baguette. but chances are he's not going to be dealing on the street if he is outside of a bar if he has any connection to the bar because that the best way to deal in a bar situation is in the men's room. this guy here that's given a good look and he's welcome back that's good if you are in uniform if you're not in a cruiser he knows that you saw him so he may decide not to be doing any more business
5:56 am
tonight. he is standing there in the dark and why and again it's a constant like around whether it's five minutes later twenty minutes later you come back around again now what is he up to. if you're in uniform if you're in a cruiser and he knows you're a cop probably less danger if he knows you're a cop if you if you're in uniform he knows that you saw him he knows it you saw him standing there and you may come back around and he met or better not be holding anything he better not be in the middle of dealing anything like that if you're working undercover you really don't want to be seen you don't want to make eye contact with the guy unless you want to make some sort of a deal with him you certainly don't make him suspicious although you might well make eye contact in terms of giving him that the idea that you want something.
5:57 am
this pizza shop here. that could be alive depending upon how late that's open that pizza shop could be a place where people are going to congregate they're going to go there are late at night place it's open twenty four hours a day or very very late that's where people go after the bars and they want it may want to keep the party going a little bit so that would be a good place to sell. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family
5:58 am
were unemployed. oh that wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo down engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow sector of will switch is dedicated to increasing power for just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of
