7:38 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 are you have some domestic violence but most of it's getting late in the lot of it's dope we're going to go eat. one boy's an average up to a 1000 out of the day every day. as an average corner of war going to boil really got it together you can you know make a living more than i. ever get on my back. shoulder to. shoulder with anything i get paid every day. i get paid every day

7:43 am
your officer. told you to get up off the ground to serve began to pat him down. heard them freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man like wrestling essentially. john. was that away from the officer. of his crew. they obviously did a kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then what happened on 3 swung at the observations didn't hit him i never saw any contact with you do you any kind went back to where they were so the answers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gonna need to turn 3.
7:44 am
moved up to the big time they mailed me more wrong. 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
7:45 am
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. 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 well 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 it themselves and it was hard to get
7:46 am
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 passion income compassion and 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 of 65 riots the 92 riots left a huge scar in this community they left a scar in this community that has caused a 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 a boys and girls club or a large community center where
7:47 am
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 unwinds is either a liquor store or a funeral home or in a church. when you might. know. what. was going to. have one of the campaign you're like oh no you don't you let. me show you we're
7:48 am
going to hear you let down like you want to lie in state hustling you know saying stay hustlin really 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 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 for you to get it to how many you can get you a job or a legitimate job homie and not have to worry about all that money but the good the people got to help me get a job they got ready to. throw. me. i'm tired i'm ready to give up their so you've been accustomed to. say. access to good drugs in the us they're out here on the streets to get hanged and rifles you know assault rifle that bag for less than
7:49 am
a $1000.00. here no idea what is here and it is a. little late to keep this honest now not hard but the way men and i had to go here work you know selfishly. in a game it down to you know got to play the crowd is right it might route out you know no hammer no way see it if everything's going to move that's all that it can't do try to play some game going where you out there see the street to. the artist 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 i guess i got to let it go now time to clear it out now talk about side by side i have lost many friends in my life time 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 that other every day and i lost plenty of friends before you were mean so you know had
7:50 am
heard me but. not to the extent that i lost my brother. i mean in a few years later my so i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. so i still haven't recovered from all that like deep down the saddest feel taken oh you know toll on me to where i haven't found a way to cope yet. any . 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
7:51 am
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 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 male lineal. very. good you know. back when we. think you know the beautiful.
7:52 am
my older brother was a gang member and my young brother was a gang member so i understand what happens where gangs and oftentimes when people are trying to find themselves they'll search and search and then they'll 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 be is really to let them know you don't need again you have a sense of self-worth dad with the lord on your side that you can have a different sense of self-worth and you don't have to depend. anyone and besides that you can get involved in something this on a pile in teh 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
7:53 am
a lot of helicopters in the sky we knew something was going on so we want to track that down and it is something going now my guess what it's no yellow tape but yeah this is how we do it though who knows we put down flop people as we go do we all find out what happened you know your boy do it you feel me. the cameras are fairly 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 there because you know when to 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 far 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
7:54 am
there will be able to start performing. to see what they're going. to get that they need it right with me. yeah pretty much just right to. let him know what i. just heard from a c.p.r. certified may still be all the time they're going to be down here because you're in charge of the police i shot somebody in broad daylight in front of everybody stood over him while he died i covered that story and then just another sad story. this block here is 115th 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.
7:55 am
than the bombing on the bloods and i mean the money is huge it's probably 325-0000 we can in sales just in this develop could be biased. their rival gang rape even creeps in the same problem they do make money in sales narcotics in the motivation to stay within the gang is nice alive in haiti it's an ongoing feud between the great 3 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 always talk about the bounty hunters and
7:56 am
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 a vigil they love to honor their dead. when there's a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few results from the one incident. kills a bounty hunter then 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 most 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. on the streets.
7:57 am
