o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o newsroom crews are not uncommon from psycho. but as the suspect abandoned his car that they were particularly plentiful as the development comes up wholly sponsored by the l.a. . city's chief of police charlie beck but today we're having it for you the way it will be. for its. potential to see what. happens. initially when he ran across there were people screaming there is parents who are grabbing kids who. are going to come up to scale. the same knowing film. for some american is still the land of

opportunity for running out of options going into trouble is a recurring theme in her career the worst way expectancy in los angeles county missouri and. her. wildest. dreams are trying. to run. off hollywood often looks to south central for inspiration those that live go.

'd sets are made. like 3 generations. you got the old gee you got the homie you got the little home you know i was there. forrest is like this is a little homey right here on me. and i'm homey and then you got the old z. that's order me you know to me. so. it's like a 3 generation gang or to me as mater. right now we're in an

imperial course housing projects you know and so the p.j. cripps on the east side. you know to me is based in watts which is cool going to enable. that in any given said anything can happen. you know it might be on laugh again right now for a game. in 5 minutes later and i'm going to. some people from. the gang of the. people you know really don't have family at a town on a want to over so again give them their support you know stability to make you feel like you know they got. down on. the you joined again it's like. everybody else all know that's where come from so it's like if i

hang with somebody her 2 months and i know what a front we got a little good didn't know saying this will make people join again a family that you can relate to you know people as you can trust you know what i mean but you have to earn everything and again. i get to get a couple of dallas in my at the mall or come back but it's nice to get in dollars main and saying i'm watching your back burner until you make sure nobody you know around me you know nobody come over that we don't know trying to hurt nobody over here you know as i would go every day and say here but you know everybody so i will know you don't come away simple as that. typical day for me it's a story. you know amount to check a few traps. into food places and. i'm sure everything is very.

well you. will in a long. time . and. every day you never know what you'll get out until 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 we try to get it by any means necessary. this place is so if you go. away. you can.

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 people right of. appeal courts jordan downs nickerson gardens along gardens. 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 that's it's a really large gang a couple 1000 members i'm sure and 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 peta roland in different days or in their 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 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 aren't and 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 you know average up to 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 that. bring your own money back. so did. told me if i get paid every day take resume i get paid every day every day i do a good count for you barry. annis in the large amount of. you have 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 said. i don't have a. right . to move up to you. and i supply him making those dollars you know i'm saying. no you get him 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 forward to the streets and they say 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 i don't.

care. enough to know right. now. 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 a still something else out there bigger than list. never stop playing now this model that i lead as pays to devils us want to see some beer for all of us to grow and succeed often got pretty good at counting up to wait for the. last. waiting. what. every day when i try to get everybody i did the good. stuff. to put it through. the day was put on day one.

this is a story of women and women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know some of us did really believe. i was out there. who were not. the person that hears the cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. falling off 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough and it. will give women on death row. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. 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. moved

to the big time they mailed me more wrong. and it's. only for the surveillance photos 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

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 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. you might. know. i was going to. have one of them again you're like oh. it's only really the here you look down they can see you want to lie in state hustling you know saying stay hustlin really

before felon 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 at the word about all that money but the clothes 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 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 to. 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 play the crowd is right my route you know no hammer no i see it going to memphis that's all that it come to try to play some game going where you go out there see the street oh my lord is displayed 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 let it. clear so does not talk about sound bites i have loved me for any of them 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 the job that everyday when i lost in a frame before you and me so you know had heard me but. not to the extent

that i lost my brother. i mean 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. 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 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 when we. go you know the beautiful.

my older brother was a gang member and my young brother was a gang member so i understand what happens with gangs and oftentimes 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 important 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 starving 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 yellow tape but yeah this is how we do it though who 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 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 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. yeah pretty much just right to. let him know what i. think i just heard from a c.p.r. certified it may still be all of 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 and 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.

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 would be biassed. their rival gang rape even crips 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 to. me 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 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 this 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 bonding time 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. on the streets. the age.

thing. seemed wrong all. just all the old yet to say proud just being a dick educating and engaging it was a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
