see him knowing the only source. for some american is still in 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 and an area in. her. arms fire. crews are trying. to. call hollywood often looks to south central for inspiration from those that live must go on 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 homey. you got the old geezers order to 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 is cool going to the name will. that be any good i said anything can happen. you know it might be all laughing again right now for me again. in the 5 minutes later and i am going to. some people for. the gang of. some people you know really don't have family that i can count on and want to over. again give them that support you know stability to make you feel like you know they got from town i am.

me 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 got a little good you know saying 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 dollars them all up come back 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 over there 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 i'm on to check a few traps. into food places and. i'm sure everything is everything.

you believe. and will a long. time . and. 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 for you to go. in alone the way i'm saying.

it was i knew you could. crack cocaine the deal. one of the number one drug. 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 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 are in there different subsets of the same game they're all creature eclipse and there there's a lot of conflict within the gangs and. in between the games 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 eat. a lot of boys you know average up to a dollar 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. joe did. not told me if i get a good thing every day take resume i get paid every day every day i do a good count for you barry. monies

in the large amount of. yeah be a large amount of anything is money to be made you can make money off of marijuana crack 1st of anyone but you if you got a large amount that's when you make the money. i say. they don't have a. right . to move up the to. supply him making those dollars you know him saying. no 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 mom and dad so you know he has had a screeching look for toll the streets and they say he 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 here. you are here and. i'm not going to write. it to you it's one. we game and we represent a project live we always do it at but at the same time a still something else out there bigger than this i'm not i'll 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. every day man i gotta get me one and i did the good. time to stop.

the put it through. the day was printed on day one. the russian state television propaganda machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are in an information war. we can change the world tomorrow. we use an old you tube videos the sleepless night shift to day is the longest network on. russian brush with russia russia and russia today. but i was so relieved to hear that they were actually russia to live and i really have to join to see you then on

our team. who are so proud and still. are just getting the numbers. why have you not shut down our t.v. on you tube it's a propaganda machine mr walker. world is driven by shaped by. the day there's thinks. we dared to ask.

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the holder doctrine eric holder former attorney general under obama this is the idea that banks are systemically important they can't be processed because this would be a danger to the society as a whole but what's remarkable is that this idea has bled over into other industries so now boeing has a major scandal on its hands it is claiming that it's just a michael important in the law doesn't apply to us other agricultural companies are saying now we're systemically important we're above the law that is leading to

bionic laptop or see this becoming a i think it's a caca stock or c. is the right word it's ruled by the least qualified are now in charge of running the economy and the results are obviously catastrophic. moved to the big time they mailed me more roamers. and it's. really for the surveillance photos we got it was. 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 be. 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 given street unwinds is either a liquor store or a funeral home or in a church. when

you might. you know. i was going to. have one of them again you're like oh. it's only going to hear you let down like you want to lie in 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 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 not the word about all that man but the flows that the people got to help me get a job they got ready to. grow. on me. i'm

tired i'm ready to give up their so you've been accustomed to. say. access to good drugs and you know if they're out here on the streets to get hanged 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 very. you keep this honest now not hard but to a man and i had to go here work you know selfishly. you know gave it back to you know get to play the crowd is right my route you know no hammer no i see it if everything's going to move if that's all that it comes to try to play some game going where you go out there see the street to own i'm going to stay right here we call this out of not really going satisfy. it is really going to be a good look at it go at it just look at us i got to look at it. clearly

still does not talk about sound bites i have lost many friends of the 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 using the job that 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 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. 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 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 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 and we. think 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 often times when people are trying to find themself 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 is really to let them know you'll meet 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 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's something going now my 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 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 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 the pharmacy. to see what they're going. to get that they need it right. yeah pretty much just write. a letter you know what i. just heard from a c.p.r. service 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 stand 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. my experience nobody does more. than the bombing on the bloods and i mean the money is huge it's probably $30.00 to $50000.00 a week in sales just in this developed to be biased. there rival gangs great between crips of the same problem they do 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 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 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 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 dead. when there's a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few good results from the one incident if he kills a bonding honor 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. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy glue foundation 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. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from.

isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is truth what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallowness. with the death toll from the coronavirus epidemic climbing to more than $900.00 worldwide we look at the temporary accommodation for russian citizens airlifted from the epicenter of the outbreak.
