the city of into. a short drive down the hill from the hollywood dream they south-central one of the most notorious addresses on the planet. like its famous neighbor south central has made its place in the imagination and. beyond the fiction the reality of this residence lives seldom touches the t.v. screens in movie theaters of the one. ready monday afternoon of the summer and fall 2012 police chase an armed robbery suspect across the city. i am the driver and carjack the mob is following the law and shooting an interest

they were particularly hunting for less than the hour. poetry sponsored by the gallon. and the city's chief of police charlie beck but today we're having a toy giveaway where presidents. words. the terrorists. past. the hour on. john initially we ran across there were people screaming that it was their spirits who were grabbing kids and i am going to scare you. to see i'm going to the only store. for some american is still in the land of opportunity for running out of options get into trouble is a recurring theme in the area the as well expectancy in los angeles county missouri and. her mom while.

i try. to. call hollywood often goes to south central for inspiration of those that live in moscow of them so.

sets are made. like 3 generations. you got the old gee you got the homie you got the little home you know say. for instance like this is a little homey right to me. and i'm a homie. you got the old geezers order me you know to me. so. i got 3 generation to hang on to me as made. right now we're in the imperial course housing projects you know and so p.j. crips on the east side a. lot of me is based in watts just cool going to the name.

of that any good i said anything can happen. you know in my me are laughing again right now for a game. and 5 minutes later and i'm going to. some people for. the gang of. some people you know really don't have family that i can count on to whatever so again give them that support you know stability to make you feel like you know they got their own i am. when you join me again it's like. everybody else on the bus where come from so it's like if i hang with somebody hurt. and i know what a front we've got a little good to know and this will make people join again a family that you can relate to you know people that you can trust you know what i

mean. but you have to earn everything in a game. get a couple of us with all the combat it is very beginning dollars i mean i'm standing watching your back burner and you make sure nobody. i mean you know nobody come over there we don't know trying to hurt nobody over here you know as i would go every day only to see your buddy you know everybody so we don't know you don't come over here simple as that. typical day for me it's a story. you know amount to check a few traps. and a food place and. i'm sure everything is everything. you believe.

in. and. there's a. blue. moon. every day you never know what you'll get up to you can wake up and say you going to check in school but end up shooting somebody so every day is a different day and every day as a struggle for a lot of people i don't have it so weak on my hand try to get it by any means necessary. this place is so for you to go. in alone the way of saying. it was i knew you could. crack cocaine the deal. one of the number one drill. you got. moving in close to 1st place is crystal meth. you know that's. taking away

a lot of peace. right about. imperial courts jordan downs nickerson gardens avalon gardens and guns ak. the largest ones over going to be jordan downs nickerson and imperial courts basically there's a different gang and each one of them nickerson gardens has bounty hunter bloods that's a that's a really large gang a couple 1000 members i'm sure in imperial they've got some some pretty good names they've got i think funny side hill side i'm not sure where all these names come from the great street which is in jordan downs you're going to have things like pita roll and different games that are in there are different subsets of the same game they're all 3 street crips and then there's a lot of conflict within the gangs and. in between the gangs most of the conflict i

would say revolves around money and most of that money is made through dope sales they do have other activities but that's that's the main source of most of their income. and that's what drives a lot of the violence that's out here we have. we're way down in murders historically for this area but we're still i think we're up to 40 for this year and i am not sure but i think this division is only 10 square miles and you've had 40 murders and that's that's the lowest amount of murders we've had in decades and it's virtually all gang related there are some that aren't you have some domestic violence but most of it's gang related and a lot of it's doper than we're going to go we. want to boys you know average up to a 1000 out of the day every day. as an average corner

or want to avoid them. you got to. thinking you know make a living more than a. bring your own money back. shoulder to. shoulder easy i guess i get paid every day. i get paid every day every day i wake up come for a very. knees in the large amount of. yard be a large amount anything is money to be made you can make money off of marijuana crap 1st of anyone but you if you got a large amount that's when you make enough money. i said. i don't have

a. right . to move up the. supply i have making those dollars you know i'm saying. no you get it and you got to get it or you know i'm sad so are people we don't know mama no daddy so you know he has had a screeching look for total scream and they say you got it you know be a thing and it get on from there you know looking back. you know it was fun to be home to. me like. i'm right. it does feel me it's one.

we game a we represent a project i will always do it but at the same time is still something else out 4 there bigger than this town and i will never stop playing no this model that i lead as pain today i. want to see some beer for all of us to grow as succeed off got people that care about their weight but nobody. knows. what. we're doing. what. every day when i try to get me what i did the good. time to stop. if it really. was it was a day when. you

can see. why a paradise with so much around turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have

many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory. bodys this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental race that's going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with those because the people have less political power. moved up into the big time they now in a more robert. scale banded. around these are the surveillance photos we got it was

robbing the. rest of. his community and there are people who believe that it's ok to sell marijuana to put food on the table it's ok to sell fact about food on my table and it's when i got a tail it's really hard when you get into the community and you see how some people live and you see that there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that have to eat and as a parent. i can't come up with a logical argument to say that if i were in that situation and that's the only option i had that i wouldn't do the same thing. and so it's been really important to me to try and build some understanding in the police officers in the realities of the community and that doesn't mean by any. in the sense that i condone it or i will let it go on especially since the other reality is that almost all the

homicides that we do have are directly wrapped around narcotics and narcotics sales and so you might have people that will claim it's a victimless crime it's not there are people dying over it several years ago in the early sixty's this community was predominantly white and you had the steel mills and you had a lot of economic growth and then the riots came a lot of those folks in a lot of those businesses left the community one because of fear too because of the folks within the community destroyed it themselves and it was hard to get economic growth and development back into this community because of the fear and i feel like south los angeles has just been left and pushed to the side since the 1965 riots and that i don't believe there's been enough time and dedication and passion income compassion and the fight for equality to build this community we need to get past

the riots kind of a weird thing to say because that happened a long time ago it's been 20 years since the last one. but the riots the 65 riots the 92 riots left a huge scar in this community they left a scar on this community that has caused the business not to be able to come back. until we can bring business back to this community it can thrive there isn't a sit down restaurant in watts there isn't a movie theater in watts we do not have a y.m.c.a. or boys and girls club or a large community center where a child can go after school to receive tutoring in sports and afterschool program on a larger scale and every other store and a given street in watts is either a liquor store or a funeral home or in a church. you

. need to live my life. you know. that i was going to. have one good look at mean you're like. are you really the yeah you look down i can see you want to lie in state hustle and. stay hustling really well for fell in bros i was really hold on no redemption all day and one day and i'm not going to you just like i'm not going to you know that i'll believe you and now say i'll be here with nobody to you i mean even by being you you'll be in a failing on me you know saying i feel like you can't make it you know i'm saying there's a way you can make it all me they got programs for you would you 2 how many you can

get you a job or a legitimate job homie and then at the word about all that money but the good the people go. so help me get a job they got right now i've been looking for 5 months bro. something months 5 months i'm tired i'm ready to give up so you've been hustling. same. access to good ground for the hours they're out here on the street you get hanging in life or you know assault rifle that bag for less than a $1000.00. here you know the heart is here and it is that. you keep this honest now and i do not turn back to a man and i have to go where you work you know so because you know. you know gave it back to you know got to plan because it is right my router you know no hammer no i see it going to move that's all that it can't do try to play some game going where you out there see the street oh my lord just

a spade right here we call this out of not really can satisfy. it is really going to be a good look at it go to just live up to it but let it go down town by the cliffs so does not talk about sound outside i love me for any of them my life time but the passing of my brother i was with him you know most. of those and i was a big toll on the passing of my brother but i deal with him every day leaving the show that every day you know the last thing a friend before you thought of me so you know had heard me but. not to the extent that i lost my brother. i mean and in a few years later my son i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. so i still haven't recovered from all that like deep down inside his steel taken oh you know told on me to where i haven't found a way to cope. i

am. i and. there's been a great number of shooting incidents which have occurred right outside. right outside between the church and a liquor store as a matter of fact a few years ago i was told by the sheriff's department there there were more shooting incident that have occurred right outside our church than anywhere else in south l.a. . and try to be open to all different types of people because we're in an area where people who are constantly hurting and costly and eat so we have to look beyond ourself and look forwards helping people we have so many people that don't have

a father so i can serve as our role model and that image and to give a positive light on many people who haven't seen productive african-american males . we. go. back and we. go you know the beautiful. my older brother was a gang member and my young brother was a gang member so i understand what happens with gangs and oftentimes when people are trying to find themself they'll search and search and then they'll find a gang and some of the gangs they give them a sense of worth they feel them for they feel like they are someone. however

well we try to is. really to let them know you'll meet again you have a sense of self-worth. with the lord. they you can have a different sense of self-worth and you don't have to depend on anyone and besides that you can get involved in something this on a pioneer gritty you can be more. good news mason we started like this we will look up in a sky and starving l.a. we saw a lot of helicopters in the sky we knew something was going on so we want to track that down and more is something going now my guess what it's no yellow tape but we do it the hood knows we put them flop people as we go do we will find out what happens if you fail me. the cameras are very powerful weapon and once you have that camera on the camera doesn't lie on actions you know you

have to walk out the pistol you know or do any of that stuff your camera is your house is not going to lie the l.a.p.d. murdered an unarmed teenager in the imperial courts housing projects thursday afternoon the teenager identified as james davis dislodged his weapon began to run witnesses say police retrieved his weapon and to fire the fatal shot to the teenager's back after james davis was shot he was handcuffed and then denied medical attention from a nurse who happen to be on site as he lay dying when i shot to the back a nurse was on the same who actually lives in imperial forces she was visiting there will be able to start the pharmacy. to see what they're going. to get that they need it. would be. pretty. just write. a letter you know what i. just heard from a c.p.r. $33.00 all this time they're going to be down here you are in charge of

the police i shot somebody in broad daylight in finance. body stand over why he died i covered that story and then just another sad story. this body here is 115th street one of the busiest rock cocaine spots by far and on but i would say even in the country. my experience nobody does more. than the bombing on the bloods and i mean the money is a huge it's probably $30.00 to $50000.00 and we can in sales just in this develop could be biased. their rival gang raping creeps in the same problem the way to make money in sales a narcotic in the motivation to stay within the gang is nice alive in haiti it's an ongoing feud between the great st crips and the bonnie hunt of bloods we've had 4

murders in the last week and i think into the murders were 847 so when they go out on what they call a mission or a murder they bring high powered rifles. and usually when you see a group like that hanging out they were going to spot. just places what you call the mothership. the bloods. originated here if you're going to western movies they had to bounty hunters. and during that time they used to you know watch the western movies and always talk about the bunny hunters and that's how we create we took that same piece. start calling ourselves to. it was a murder that took place in the bond of blood he was stabbed to death outside the area you could see right here is his visual they love to honor their dead. when there's a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few results from the one incident. kills upon an honor and the bombing i'm going

to get together and they need to retaliate and the more violent gang is. the more respect it has the more violent gang it is the more successful they are the more violent the gang is the more the community feels that they are intimidated and they can't do anything about it and that's how they run the streets. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to. sport i'm sure i'll see you then. give me a couple good. is

enough. but i'm also the most companies you know so i'm going to give us as you please when i meet. this company she will speak. to me nobody goes from didn't you know just to see. if you're a coke. machine if you. think they. will tell you a list too. cass
