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 you're. 'd gonna get to know summer 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 arrows to draw while pursue next in the food. sounds and. i am getting from come to the chase continued into the neighboring district our boss. am the suspects destination is the imperial court builder's temporary housing of the 2nd world war the project and those around it survived and became synonymous with the origins of dentistry games or civil unrest and home to one of america's most neglected because my own 000000000000000000000000000 calls are not on from the side. but as the suspect abandoned his car that home they

were particularly hunting for less than the hour. holy crap sponsored by the talent . the city's chief of police charlie beck but today we're having a toy giveaway where president's. words. the terrorists. past. because initially when he ran across there were people screaming that there was there is parents who are grabbing kids and family is going to scare the kids. to see him knowing the only story. for some american is still be the land of opportunity for running out of options and into trouble is a recurring theme in the area the as well expectancy in los angeles county missouri

and find her. wanting. to say. hollywood often looks to south central for inspiration those that live in moscow comes.

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 near me. and i'm homey. you got the old geezers order me you know to me. so. i got 3 generation to hang on to me as mater. right now we're in the imperial course housing projects you know i'm so p.j. cripps on a nice day you know what i mean is based in watts which is cool going to unable.

to. put out any given said anything can happen. you know it might be all laughing again right now for a game. and 5 minutes later i am but i am going to. some people for. the gang of. some people you know really don't have family that i can count on to want to ever so again give them that support you know stability to make them feel like you know they got their own i am. me you join me again it's like. everybody else all know that's where comfort so it's like if i hang with somebody hurt. and i know what a front we got a little good you know saying this will make people join

a good family that you can relate to you know people that you can trust you know what i mean. but you have to earn everything and again. i get to get a couple of dollars in my opinion on a comeback but it's hard to get in dollars i mean i'm standing watching your back burner until you make sure nobody. i mean you know nobody come away that we don't know trying to hurt nobody over here you know as i would go every day. but you know everybody so we don't know you don't come over here simple as that. term of the 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. so you. will a long. time

. 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 that don't have it so weak on my hand try to get it by any means necessary. this place is so if you go. in alone the way i'm saying. it was i knew you could. crack cocaine the deal. one of the number one. you got. close to 1st

place is crystal meth. you know that's. taking away a lot of peace. until courts jordan downs nickerson gardens along gardens and guns at. the largest ones over are 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 it's a it'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 till 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 are in there different subsets of the same game

they're all creature eclipse 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 are 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 an average of 2 an hour and out of the day every day.

as an average corner or want to avoid a really got it together you can you know make a living more than a. regular money back. told this. child is. not getting every day think riza i get paid every day every day i do a good count for you barry. unease in the large amount of. yet to be a large amount of anything is money to be made you can make money off of marijuana crack christo anyone but you if you got

a large amount that's when you make enough money. i say i. don't have a. right . to move up to you. know supply him making those dollars you know i'm saying. you know you get it and you got to get it or you know i'm saying it's a lot of people we don't know momma no daddy so you know he has had a screeching look forward to the streets and they said you got it you know be a thing and then get on from there you know looking back. you know it was fun to be home to. be like i don't. care. enough to know right.

now so. it's just a few moments when. we game and we represent a project live and always do it out but at the same time as still something else out there bigger than this i'm not i never stop playing now this model that i lead as pays to dev as us want to see some beer for all of us to grow and succeed off got be that counted out to wait for the bot. waiting. what. every day man i gotta get me one and i did a good. time to stop but i stopped. going to. the v.a. was payable on day one so. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports

for the cut. ok in the special something we can dangle says the minute oh. yeah but just let us be off when. you talk to home don't think in russia things was over for getting. the full meal talked about through here come to me especially on the last day of summer as muscle. a little. russian outlets eligibility for the international competition says that stake list includes events like the tokyo olympics and the fee for world cup in qatar if i am in the early as last year we can all just up here where you can one of the just as it was 4 years ago in moscow anti-doping plavix that the center of the scandal so who tampered with the doping samples database and one does greegor you want she could have to do with it and you know

i'm ugly she's stupid but as we start to pull simeon you could talk a little spots we're not used to push on the bush. by to express my emotions touch a little towards the polish in a dinner tonight. moved to the big time they mailed me more wrong. and it's. only through the surveillance photos that we got it was the. growth.

in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to to sell 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 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 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 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 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 any 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. i was going to. have one of them again you're like oh. it's so good to hear you let down like you want to lie in state hustling you know saying stay hustling really before fell in bros i was really horny 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 you could get it to 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 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 grounds and you know if they're out here on the street to get hang and rifles you know assault rifle that bag for less than a $1000.00. here you know the heart is here and it is a. little keep this honest now not hard but the way men and i had to go here work you know selfishly. you know gave it back to you know got to plan because right it might route out you know no hammer no i see it if everything's going to move that's all that it comes to trying to play the 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 a good look at it go to just look at us i got to look at it. clearly still

does not talk about side by side i've lost many friends of the 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 when i lost plenty of friends before you and me so you know had heard me but. not to the extent that i lost my brother. i mean and then a few years later my son i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. so i still have to recover from all that lay down the saddest feel taken oh you know toll on me to where i haven't found a way to cope. on. 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 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 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

. 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 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 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 surveying 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 it is something going now but guess what it's no yell and say well yeah this is how we do it though who knows we put down flop people as we go do we will find out what happens if i go boy do it you feel me. the cameras and 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 there because you know when to any of that stuff your camera is your power 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 they've 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 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. think we're just training. c.p.r. certified may still be all the time they're going to be down here dorothy you are in charge of the police i shot somebody in broad daylight in front of everybody stand over him while he died i covered that story 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. my experience nobody does more. 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 raping creeps in the same problem they do make money in sales narcotics on 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 the 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. bloods. originated here if you're going to western movies they had to bounty hunters. and during that time they used to you know wash the western movies and always talk about the bounty hunters and that's how we create you took that same piece. start calling. it was a murder that took place on the body on a 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 if he kills a bombing on or in 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 run the streets. the european union's tendency to believe that. represents europe has long been a major gripe for russia but as the e.u. experiences significant internal difficulties it is studied to reassess what it is and what it stands for what does that process mean for the countries sharing the continent with. the economic system known as capitalism has generated more wealth than any other system in history in many ways it has defined maternity itself hundreds of millions
