11:36 am
shooting somebody so every day is a day every day and every day as a struggle for a lot of people that don't have a so weak on my hand try to get it by any means necessary. this place is so if you go. into the way. of the street. crack cocaine is below. one of the number one. you've got. close to 1st place is crystal meth. you know that's. taking away a lot of people right about. imperial courts jordan downs nickerson gardens along gardens and guns at. the
11:37 am
largest ones over going to be jordan downs nickerson and imperial courts basically there's a different gang in each one of them nickerson gardens has bounty hunter bloods that's a it's a really large gang a couple 1000 members i'm sure and 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. roll and different things that are in there different subsets of the same game they're all reached recruits and that there's a lot of conflict within the gangs and. 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 that drives a lot of the violence that's out here we have way down in. orders historically for
11:38 am
this area but we're still i think we're up to 40 for this year and i'm not sure but i think this division is only 10 square miles and you've got 40 murders and that's that's the lowest amount of murders we've had in decades and it's virtually all being related there are some that aren't you have some domestic violence but most of it's getting late in the lot of its dope we're going to eat. one boy's an average up to a 1000 out of the day every day. as an average going to war yeah i want to boil really got it together you can you know make a living more than. bring your own money back. so do. children is anything i get i get paid every day. i get paid every day
11:39 am
every day i wake up come friday very. pleased in the large amount of. yeah i'll be a large amount anything is money to be made you can make money off of marijuana crack 1st of any war but if you've got a large amount that's when you make it a money. paid over. to the. supply. well i am making those dollars you know i'm saying. you know you get him
11:40 am
and you got to get it or you know i'm saying it's a lot of people we don't know mama know daddy so you know he has had a screeching look forward to the streets and they say you got it you know be a thing and then get on from there you know looking back. you was probably going to. be like i don't. know right. now. you just love your moods when. we game a we represent a project live we always do it at but at the same time is still some nose out there bigger than live on my own never stop playing now this model that i learned as pays today i. want to see some beer for all of us to grow a succeed off got people that care and love to wait but. what.
11:41 am
we. what. every day when i try to get me what i did the good. time to stop. going to. the v.a. was put on day one. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy you confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
11:42 am
seemed wrong. rowles just don't hold. me. to shape out these days to come to council. and indeed from an equal trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. give me too much as. we say. there's an awful lot in common i'm old but i'm also the most companies you know so i've been a kid who says you know. when i meet. his
11:43 am
11:44 am
moved to the big time they mailed me more roamers. and it's. only through the surveillance photos that we got it was. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to do so marijuana to put food on the table it's ok to sell practical food on my table and it's 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 would 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
11:45 am
community and that doesn't mean by any. any 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 out a lot of those folks and a lot of those businesses left the community one big. because of fear too because of the folks within the community destroyed 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 in dedication and
11:46 am
passion income compassion and a 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 in 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 theatre 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 an afterschool program on a larger scale and every other store i mean given street in watts is either a liquor store or a funeral home or in
11:47 am
a church. you need to live my life. i was going to. have one of the campaign you're like oh you don't. go in there we're going to hear you let down like you want to lie in your state hustling you know saying stay hustling. before felon bros i was really home no redemption all day and one day and i'm not going to you just like i'm not going to you know
11:48 am
that i'll believe you and not 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 but you would get into how many you can get you a job or a legitimate job homie and i have to worry 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. i mean it's 5 months i'm tired i'm ready to give up their so you've been hustling. say. access to good ground for the hours they're out here on the streets to get hang 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 to. keep this honest now not hard but the way men and i had to go here work you know so because you know. to no game it down to you know got to be college right my route you know
11:49 am
no hammer no i see it every day going to movies i saw the audience come to try to play some game going where you go out there see the street oh my lord just a spade right here we call this out of not really going satisfy. it is really going to be not to look at it go to a just look up to a little bit of a downtown clear so does not talk about sound bites i have loved me for any of them my lifetime but the passing of my brother. would give me the most. was and i took a big toll on the passing of my brothers but i deal with them every day using the job that every day you know i lost plenty of friends before you wrote to me so you know had heard me but. not to the extent that i lost my brother. i mean i mean a few years ready later my son i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. so i still
11:50 am
haven't recovered from all that like deep down inside his steel taken over you know told on me to where i haven't found a way to cope. i and. 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 incidents 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
11:51 am
constantly hurting and costly in need so we have to look beyond ourself in the boards 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 . very. good you know. back. to. 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
11:52 am
find again 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 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 but guess what it's no yellow tape but yeah this is how we do it the hood knows we put it down flop people as we go do we will find out what happened your boy do it you feel me. the cameras
11:53 am
a very powerful weapon and once you have that camera on the camera doesn't lie on actions you know you don't have to walk out down the pistol you know or do any of that stuff your camera is your house is not going to live the l.a.p.d. murdered an unarmed teenager in the imperial courts housing projects thursday afternoon to teenager identified as james davis dislodged his weapon began to run witnesses say police retrieved his weapon and fired a fatal shot into 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 before. the shooting when they're going. to get that they need it right. pretty picture right to. let him know what i. just heard
11:54 am
from a. 3rd still we think all the time i think they're going to be down here are you trying to the police are shot somebody in broad daylight in finance. stand over him while he died i covered that story and then just another sad story. in this block here is 115 street one of the busiest rock cocaine spots by far and ones but i would say even in the country. in 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 would be biased. their rival gang prevention creeps in the same problem they do
11:55 am
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 tree 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. this place is 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 they just always talk about the bounty hunters and that's how we create we took that same piece. start calling ourselves to bonnie hunt and it was a murder that took place on the bonnie hunt of blood he was stabbed to death outside the area you could see right here is this vigil they love to honor their
11:56 am
dead. when there's a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few results from the one incident. kills a bonding honor then the bombing i'm going to get together and they need to retaliate and a 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 were on the streets. when lawmakers manufactured consent instinctive public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. when the final
