3:38 am
one of the reasons i became an attorney was to help people because you know what i was a little girl i noticed that there were a lot of drugs in the community a lot of gangs in the community and i found 2 bodies dead bodies that had been overdosed on heroin they were in the alley all run to the 1st and mechanically and i knew they were because my cousin was a heroin addict and i knew and one of the women i knew her little girl and i knew her and i had seen her when she was alive so i was in 3rd grade when i saw these bodies then fast forward a little bit farther in the future and then crack came into the community and my little cousin was a victim of that and so just saying what that did to the community i decided to know when i have a disability were. no use drugs they can't get a job maybe will have been tagged with melanie's for low level offenses when she tag with a felony you're serving
3:39 am
a life sentence on the installment plan basically you are going to go in and out of jail because you've got to come out and be faced with i have a felony so i can have public housing like imperial courts i can't be with my family because i am a felony. you're stuck on the streets trying to figure out how to get a job you can get a job because you have to check the box and if you're a felon you most people won't employ you you can't get public housing public health you can't get medicare medicaid if you have a felony man names and they will incarcerate and actually it's drug related ok as we're finding and that's why these prisons are so overcrowded now because of drugs so what we're finding is when they come out they can't get treatment because my facility is based on medicare and i can't serve the men and melanie's so it's a catch 22 and it keeps bringing people back around to the same place where they can manage our they can't find housing they can't get medical treatment and they may be depressed at this point and i won't be able to get any treatment for their mental. issues and so therefore it just becomes
3:40 am
a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself over and over. male black and. we're going to run our economy out a. little bit about what a lot of perimeter. narcotics and news doing surveillance on non-narcotic said to me in the midst of gardens which is funny kind of blunt which is why gang for the last 15 years. or so we're going to try to take down the cellar right now. let's pick up the very start you know. so the finding of blood of one of the largest and most violent gangs in the country are make tremendous profits on selling. at any given
3:41 am
time inside the water here and using these 3 to 5 active not particular selling day and night and all of just what they call per cell it's just this gentleman studies are selling on the streets to locate it to get a local transit rochus low so what if i. know a lot of times too. cash calendar. alfonzo are among. those chosen to change guard service. his 1st words
3:42 am
at a low a c. or a challenging post you've got to use to me. i have no doubt that what happened was criminal. defense concentrate market is a $1000000000.00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to solve these problems there are numerous stuff showing that doctors were keen to cast factory concentrates for the effects of it's on the patient gives them doctors the wrong stoplight. turn to stone why they would keep me in security procedures day to day and people still die i don't always question or so i tried being hard to live when so many have. thought that's my life that's how i started out australia 40 years ago and i've
3:43 am
been living in the log cheeriest life of ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because they assets bought it 40 years ago and gone straight up. officer. told you to get up off the ground to serve begin to. name things on the sounds of an mit grown man like mislead essentially. john. was to do away from the officers. of his group. the obviously did a kind of lunge for the web in one. missed and then when it happened on tree swung as i was just hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the 2 and the kind went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on
3:44 am
3. yes. let's go here i don't know if it's really for me. to have the i don't know man oh most certainly with my oldest son we live it was a lot. going on. you got to keep this place through nobody's very innocent or your album do i know how long you've been sitting here obviously one of those couple minutes trying. you know they haven't checked did you say. you haven't i think that's what that's where you keep that. yeah let me let me check with these guys right now. you can see red sneak is the jacket has read everything so consistent with gang activity. this is their territory bonding on the
3:45 am
blogs nobody else's territory you better have a mission to be in here if you can rival gang and if you're not. this gang has a different sets of cliques to the gang and they're broken up into crews they got you shooters they were crew be dope dealers or crew your robbery suspects a cruise gentleman here is part of savage squad it's a click of the body on a bloods that responsible for street robberies home invasions look at store ovaries . and they take pride in that and a tattoo themselves they take the legions to each other and that crew you see arms so this is from their christian gardens is the $112.00 street that's his clip me h.w. for bonnie on a watch. and then this is b. ip instead of rest and peace it's bonding and peace and that's his home. there rival gangs crave street so they'll have $107.00 which is the pinnacle for murder craig street with that she crossed out. you're telling everybody that you killed a great street and. everybody comes out to check on these guys in
3:46 am
a report back to other gang members so why they're being stopped as you can. see behind us 120 and 127 i want to lock is a unit that's selling i caught it so as much as a concern about these guys are more concerned about the money inside of me with his hand inside and narcotics inside so they'll move this location right when they can set up shop somewhere else. all these guys are here a customers whenever you see a group or transients hanging around you know that there's a narcotic location within 50 to 70 feet and they set up camp here and that's all they do is smoke all day long but these guys again it's everything's full circle so these guys now are your car thieves your burglar s. because they have to feed their habit and a gang members know that so it's just a revolving door here. is enough from that enough to take. the other suspect into custody for sales a narcotic so tyson's going to bring him back to the station people for sales.
3:47 am
i. i. i i. you know buy vocational pastor is extremely difficult i work full time as a special agent for the u.s. department of justice office of the inspector general and that is. a position in which i investigate f.b.i. agents the agents u.s. attorneys and others. it's difficult to to handle both jobs well and i've been pretty successful of both areas. i believe that it's
3:48 am
imperative for me to continue in my career in the federal government because. as a role model in both areas of life so people when they come to our church and they found out that number one i am bi vocational that that's impressive to be because they want to know how i can hold it all together and secondly because i am a man of god and i treat everyone fairly no matter where i'm at. i believe that is our. responsibility. to god that we serve as a god of 2nd chances and i am so pleased that we have so many people. that have been rehabilitated people been formerly incarcerated former drug addicts former prostitutes gay members and we accept everyone as they are and we let them
3:49 am
know that hey they may have made mistakes in the past but they are god is a forgiving and a merciful god we're here to tell. what happens with so many people the wind up being homeless is that they've had opportunities that. maybe they haven't been able to take advantage of it. oftentimes they shut down. for me. i had a brother homeless and eventually died on the streets and it's very difficult to deal with someone who has really given up on life. when you think about the sheer numbers of individuals who find themselves homeless in los angeles we're talking about estimates 38 to 45. on a nightly basis find themselves only. 4 door. exists between south los angeles and downtown.
3:50 am
on skid row skid row's community you know folks. see guys that i know you know it's their group and your role in the mission and they go to jail and they end up in a county jail for 7 months by the case and i always said you know they go to court the case is over the fido wasn't you usually go. you know what happens if a guy have a job you know lost a job i know we all pay rate you know it's very few people have their own home you know so by the time you get out your pardon is gone you know all this stuff is. going to go to 90 days to come pick up your property you know is there music music every day. so you get out you have nowhere to go you have no money you know what do you do you come to skid row to get a road is the only place you could come see you roll. you something just some
3:51 am
clothes and hopefully you know design is not to. be you know it's going to get into a program. to hire an estimate of disconnection from the labor market for african-americans is around 60 percent for african-americans between the ages of 18 and roughly $45.00 so think about think about you have a population in 2012 about 500000 african-americans who reside within the city of los angeles which is 459 square miles and a large percentage of them the greater number of are not connected to work in los angeles one in 18 african-americans own homes the natural homeless population in this 50 square block area it's about 4500 but when we talk about south central los angeles combined south central los angeles homelessness combined with downtown los
3:52 am
angeles homelessness we're talking about 20000 people skin. role. exists within the center of power in los angeles and i think it's important to note that skid row thievin in los angeles california is a well kept secret this is the epicenter this is the epicenter of poverty and if you can't fix it here you can't fix it. the largest amount of homeless people are african-american children because of you render why and why many homeless and she has 3 children what happens is there's not a lot of housing for women and children so the woman goes into transitional housing by herself and those 3 kids usually get split into different foster homes and at that point they may never really see each other as a family again and and that's the most one of the most heart wrenching things because the kids will tell me i had my little 16 year old boy you know boys are
3:53 am
supposed to cry 0 and i saw a tear about to form a design he said mistakes and i didn't do anything wrong i don't understand why this is happening to me and. it was very sad and i was like you know he didn't do anything wrong but his life had been turned upside down and and i can't tell him that his life is ever going to get better. or ever since time when the kids are going to get the kids ok in the teachers spends time with the teacher gets the kids and the parents spend time they get the kids if the gang spends time they get the kids more often than not the gang is the one that spends a time when the kids and so they do get that sense of community from them because there's a very dysfunctional family unit there's you know they're not everybody needs some kind of support and nurturing and some sense of belonging and appreciation so they're going to go wherever they can get it. is. ok. to.
3:57 am
