10:39 am
i am not sure but i think this division is only 10 square miles and you 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 aren't and you have some domestic violence but most of it's going related and a lot of it's doper than we're going to go we. want to boys you know average up to an hour and out of the day every day. as an average corner war zone avoiding really got it together we can you know make a living more than a. regular money back. so we do. not told me anything i get a good thing every day i think riza i get paid every day every day i do a good count for you barry. monies

10:46 am
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 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
10:47 am
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 it 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
10:48 am
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 theater 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. when
10:49 am
you might. know. that it was going to. have one of the campaign or like. our show and we're going to hear uma down like you want to lie in your state hustling you know saying stay hustlin really before felon bros i was really hold on 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 share 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 then at the word about all that man with the clothes that the people got to help me get a job they. grow. i mean. it's
10:50 am
i'm tired i'm ready to give up their so you've been accustomed to. say. access to good grounds 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. little keep this honest down and not hard but the way men and i had to go here work you know so because you know. in a game it down to you know got to play the crowd is right my route you know no hammer no i see it if everything's going to move i saw that it come to try to play some game going where you go out there see the street to. the artist 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 up to
10:51 am
a little bit. of clear no doubt not talk about sound bites i have loved me for any of the my life time but the passing of my brother that's what hit me the most. and i took a big toll on the passing of my brother but i deal with him every day listening to other every day and i lost it in a frame before you really mean so you know had heard me but. not to the extent that i lost my brother. i mean and in a few years later my son i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. so i still haven't recovered from all that like the saddest feel taken oh you know toll on me to where i haven't found a way to cope. with. any .
10:52 am
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 towards 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
10:53 am
. 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 you have
10:54 am
a sense of self-worth that 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 integrity 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 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 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.

10:56 am
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. 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 would be biased. their rival gang rape between crips and the same problem they do make money in sales narcotics on the motivation to stay within the gang is nice alive in haiti is 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 they were murdered they were
10:57 am
a high powered rifle so you. can usually when you see a group like that hanging out they were going to spot. this place is what you call the mothership. of 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 was created 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 bonding 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
10:58 am
a 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 street. the holder doctrine eric holder former attorney general under obama this is the idea that banks are systemically important they can't be prosecuted because this
10:59 am
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 is systemic only 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 beyond a kleptocracy this becoming a i think it's a cracker 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. the i. am.
