2:00 am
you act. like you're going to do. so right now we're driving through both neighborhoods and you can see time and distance from each gang. so this is jordan. this is the territory claimed by the green street crips during war time bonnie hunt is now less likely to come in here because there's one way in and often one way out so once you come in and do a shooting you're trapped in their neighborhood and they can return fire so it's not the safest way to to avenge a shooting so often they'll go on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street kripke that's a lot of times when innocent people get shot. so in the next couple of days someone from this development most likely will go over towards nickerson like they have the
2:01 am
last couple of days and commit a shooting and vice versa so all these neighborhoods now are in play. or if there are. several months ago. a gentleman with the moniker of menace from 15 he'll was caught inside the gang territory of the village voice a couple of the village boys. went outside jumped on menace beat him down and stuck to mr ashby you. and. they took the trash here and brought them back behind another house and tortured them they sodomized him they sliced him up with a machete and when they sliced him up they put at the end his chest for village voice. and then they continued to torture and then they wrapped him up in a rug burned and dumped him in long beach there's one thing about beating a guy down or killing them but the torture of the sodomy all that stuff that's
2:02 am
that's just what gang members do so they found menace right around here beat him down put him in the trash can and then they will him. to this location here. where they. assault them sodomized them and torture. they're not concerned with people watching them commit crimes being prosecuted because. they'll go after witnesses they'll intimidate them and if they have to the old even try to kill them you can see how they're marking up their neighborhood as village voice. my personal opinion is a lot of gangs get a sympathetic ear to the general public and when the public 6 posed to exactly what these guys do. then everyone agrees that we don't want to in our neighborhood.
2:03 am
easy. obviously it's been challenging for you.
2:04 am
and hard you know to lose a family member is very hard. he was a little bit drunk he drank that night and then the next morning me i didn't hear from him and i was a will and that's weird and i'm like you must be really mad at me and i didn't hear from him i didn't know what was going on and then they come up to me that and then and then ok what's going on why i mean what i do and then i'm like thinking like in my head like ok i haven't done anything bad and i haven't done anything that i can think of anything and asking all where we got last night and the 1st thing that pops into my head what's going on what's wrong with what you know i told him that he was he came is he in jail is he like her what's wrong with that like the last thing i thought of him was what was wrong with him you know the last thing and then towards the end they tell me ok we're going to meet up and. who was it we found his body. dolphin after i heard was that i didn't hear anything else i thought they
2:05 am
were lying they just did it really mean like no more is going on it's not true. you. know and then i just don't remember anything after that after that i remember i was crying and they not believing it still and i don't really believe it's going to combat that can be truly cannot be true but. they say it gets better i don't think that those are the ones rosie king and i was it for as we just everyone would say old he was young he wasn't even 21 yet and eventually we're going to move out on our own we have plans to help and she's awesome she looks like her which is what . i thought and i think when i look around i see him with a little bit of peace in him but it's hard at the same time because i don't know why it's just more trying to get through the life we were never in a month or a for her like not to grow up here because you know what do you think he was raised
2:06 am
here for him does was it for him this was basically like that's it they never got out of here and i want was he to get out and i do her who is going to get i guess to her he's in the loop on through her because that's what's left of. i.
2:07 am
back. up a basketball game a large crowd i hang around the parking lot so we were just there to disperse the crowd because when you get a large crowd like that drinking nothing good ever happens from that so we were sent down there to make jodi gets home safely.
2:08 am
so that's where the big problem with the police that i was trying to make it away was like we know katie is right. there. was something more noble with him up and good. to stop it. just really rough treatment on the street. and nothing there was want to rest for one individual who didn't want to go along with the program so we had to rest i'm. sure my little home is known as. the cia doing. the cia during. the night. is for me not. the oldest puppet to call it for us to look at is good
2:09 am
i got a. good look at it look at us they think they tell us they came in a scuffle. took him down because he was talking down a freedom of speech you can say what you want to say and a right to put a hand on him you know as will go down around his son tom some time ago thomas mann . as a black police officer it's definitely different. than again i am bringing me off rather than going to block the stuff but it's definitely different it works both ways some people some citizens are more comfortable talking to me because i'm black and some people think that i should give people a lot of breaks because i'm black you know i get down to tom think oh now that me so it is my pain a little more stressful being
2:10 am
a black police officer down here but. i don't know i don't i actually like it i don't want to work on the other team is not like you know. working in this area. it was on a rhyme. he had got into a domestic dispute with the child's mother she knew he was on the run she still called the police are. not taking anything the same thing negative about her so he fled to a house that was down the street so he gets into a standoff what i would say about. 1520 sheriff's officers if you feel bad that. battle you that you're. not one of those many you know you know if you declare where you feel like damn like you really think. that you.
2:11 am
need to be able to get it. and police are to my right i'm behind a small gang but i can see the camera lens and focus on the andre on the porch it's dark. i don't know if he hasn't gone you can't hear me yet it may be. that i don't know what's going to come out that this is the situation i know i have a lot of aggressive people that's on the same solve we're all just trying to feel fill it out oh it's just not going to know much. about it you know going to leave you know. you got a moment where it is this big long dialogue talking back and forth with the sheriff there saying give yourself up and say look i want to run i'm for going to for ever in a penitentiary just grant me the chance to see my girl i'm not going to hurt or i just want to see my girl and we can all be fair peacefully they will i know give
2:12 am
yourself a listen in the dog so he's a gang member in a league we've got a tough mentality so he's like not having that you know i'm going to die right here now how serious it is a mystery you got me. thinking. there . you. go. you thought it would help you get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care about anything are they given him his aggression cantars of aggression and i've given him any sympathy like you know what just cause maybe mother knowing that his baby mother isn't a cop car they will say all she wants in a hospital so he's thinking like i'm going to lose my baby life so here's what they want top of anxiety is right now. i told
2:13 am
you never to have to suffer little yes you. know i'm just wondering. if you are right here it is hard. to. hear you but you. can't. believe it is. that i met you but. that is good. for you that you that you know you are doing that so we're planning now we're just we're just listen to knock i can feel the tension oh i feel like something's going to happen you know something's going to happen you don't know to what extent it's going to happen but you can feel it was raised i'm getting goose bumps in this dialogue is going on and in the middle of a dialogue it's like a dance science. it's
2:14 am
. a little. little. little. and. i don't trust medical authority at all never and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at
2:15 am
like diet has nothing to do with autoimmune disorders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. good. way to take up your heart is no doubt whatsoever. that you are. and that. this or that you know it obviously might be on much you can you imagine it maybe i'm your man some of you wear it all up in your car.
2:16 am
so as we wait it out the tension increases it goes from silas to the cops turn back gone give up yourself come on right now you're not seeing your baby mother now period you not seen or you give up yourself right now or worse and in a dog's. name a man with no options so is very very very tense dog walk around or he's round up bringing a dog we're going to dog if you bring in a dog i'm a blast though and it was so you know you. got light you get them you're kind of a go. but. you are so. good at the target. they released the dog when they released the dog. he jumps up to protect itself from getting bit like anybody would to shield themselves from getting bit so he gets up with a shoe in his hand he throws if you. go.
2:17 am
out. when this motion happens we're going to pop pop pop pop pop. it was a sure. you. wanna shoot you got the commander in a bag i didn't tell anybody to shoot i never gave that order to go. loon cohen you know. they go pick up the dog they sentimental back for the dog and all sentimental back for that the kid has shaken on the ground they still come out with their guns pointed at him like as if he's going to get up he's not going to get up after that nobody's going to have to get shot 88 times they reported 23 shots he was shot 88 times in his body.
2:18 am
right now there's a small little war. in the tween the bounty hunters and great story. we could be
2:19 am
eating as minor as a girl because somebody took somebody else's girl so. somebody gets shot in the war breaks out. you know in the past gang members would do was you know they committed drive by they would ask you where you're from and if you gave out the wrong answer. they kill you now. when a gang member commits a drive by or walk up and while someone where you're from doesn't matter what your answer is you can get killed anyway there is no correct answer and i don't know why that started or where that came from but. nowadays if. a gang member asked where you're from listening to his run because going to shop. the gangs are in the schools and there's not a lot of police presence in the school so they basically have free reign there. and it starts off when they're young you know you get the little youngsters out there
2:20 am
fighting in the schools. and it spills onto the streets and you know the teachers are out there trying to do the best job they can but it's just a it's a tough environment and you have the good kids that are actually trying to get education they've got to deal with all the gang feuds that are going on. in the schools.
2:21 am
a lot of our students come from single family homes and a large majority of our students around 70 percent of my kids are actually coming from foster homes every kid wants to learn and i don't think that any one of our kids comes with the intention to gangbang every single day that's not part of their agenda. this is the main corridor that my kids exit to get home avalon boulevard is the street that they have to cross over anything cross over walk down to get to the train station or get down to their homes across avalon boulevard and sometimes kids feel unsafe. like high schools run about $720.00 as gangs so the dangers that we face that kids come into from school so we have the safe passage program which consist of law enforcement charity public safety was in our pipes cuniform that actually do security on campus and off campus and our community again in a bid to records former gang members that changed their lives and they kind of help us with a safe passage say fast is
2:22 am
a 1000 feet from the school so our jurisdiction far has been the security on campus we could at least 1000 feet from the school. we work in concert with l.a.p.d. and a loss as county sheriff on a side track campus. we are security officers who are allowed to carry and cuss pepper spray and firearms if we was a see somebody attacking a kid we will definitely jump out and stop that person from attacking a kid and yes we can detain him in holding the l.a.p.d. gets. we have had kids get shot you know come to school the friends it was the 2nd year that we was here with green dad the kids walking the school and. you guys walked up to him and then shot him he was a former gay member that was trying to get his life together he was trying to you know true. get a good education but you know. you've been tagged as a gang member you know even though you turn your life around and try to do right ok and look at it like the.
2:23 am
l.a.p.d. did a perimeter and they was actually because we. was actually able to make an arrest. right here in l.a. you never know who's going to. have the spirit of moment so some days days be. happening some days you know it's just. here. going into high school i went to morningstar high school and california. i can remember being around the age of 15 or 16 or we started becoming active gang members after high school i've experienced dayton. enemy and 97 was about 18 and experiencing that situation and having a revealed in front of my homeboys. almost cost me my life. and saying that i
2:24 am
remember was 97 and maybe 2 weeks before my graduation one of my homeboys close to me. wanted to kill me and it was like a dark night i just remember it was kind of dark and it was one light twitching and within that light that was tick you know twitching liked i remember looking across the street and it was one of my homeboys from my neighborhood at a trench coat on and he walked up towards me and i remember him telling me i was and i said well we're here to see me and he put out the 45 and he put it to my face and. what that what then that quick 2nd i snooped the gun very smooth i seen all the bullets and the barrel. and he start talking crazy he was on the start talking crazy talking about you know i should be smoked because i'm dana enemy and i understand i know the protocol for females you know like you
2:25 am
don't date enemies you don't date other fools from other neighborhoods i think the guys who probably get away with it but for females no and so because i did date somebody from another neighborhood it almost cost my life. he pulled the trigger but it was like a spiritual thing that happened that i can't explain till this day i mean for me i think it was god that was my transition of changing because when he pulled the trigger the barrel moved but no bullets didn't come out and i blacked out and when i blacked out i remember fallen in his black tunnel i thought i was shot in the hit i thought i was going to hell because i was i was in this black tunnel falling and then finally i was just looking back and i'm like where am i like i did all radio was going on i'm going to hell and i remember start i started to pray the off father to hell mary because this is things that i kind of remember from catechism and i said you know what i've said a lot but it's better to go on and pray and just hope that the lord you know forgive me for my sins and i move forward and i remember looking back as i fall in
2:26 am
this tunnel it was the virgin mary's hands and i accepted my death and when i accepted my dad i was back and i'm still standing up the person still pull in the trigger and the bullets are not even coming out and it's clicking. and then my mom comes finally he runs and my mom just pulls up and i'm just shocked like oh my god i could have my brains landed on the floor 2 weeks before graduation. you know it's difficult to get in and out of south central los angeles and it's it's just a violent area that the level of violence that people live with is unacceptable entirely unacceptable when i was a little girl my parents took me to vietnam when i was in saigon during the tet offensive i was not as afraid in saigon with bombs dropping every day from dusk
2:27 am
till dawn as i was when i came back to los angeles because i was the victim in los angeles i didn't feel like i was a victim in vietnam and the level of violence i feel is just the same really even though they don't declare it to be a war zone it is a war zone. cameras in the public housing developments there was great distain in the community didn't want the cameras there there's already bars on the windows and some of the developments and the community perspective was already living in a prison when you drive by our community it looks like a prison and now you're adding video cameras and now you're watching us and being brothers always watching us we just want to feel like we're a normal community but on the other hand the cameras have been extremely successful as it relates to long for some and a witness intimidation we've had some murders occur inside jordan downs and caught them on video where we didn't have to ask a community member to put their life in danger and testify because we got it all on video so i think now that it's grown on the community and they realize that we're
2:28 am
utilizing it not to suppress them but to help them it's been extremely successful. this is a story of women women was troubled histories and complex court cases you know some . where not. the person that. the cheesiness of be 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 punishment. of women on death row. the outbreak of the corona virus has become a black swan event for the global economy is no longer whether the u.s. and other economies will slip into recession the question now is how long the
2:29 am
recession will last it's going to get worse before it gets better. this is a murder that was caught on video the murder was committed by the great street crips it was an in-house murder meaning that a street crypt killed another street crips oftentimes gang members killed by cold and one of the code says to never commit crimes against your own gang members in this particular scenario or murder investigation there was a. transplant that was a narcotics user he went to purchase narcotics from 3 crew members on the narcotics was either bad or he was somehow slighted on it as a result he went to another great street cred gang member in got a gun with a gun the transience shot and killed a street gang member at the time of the shooting there was another great street
2:30 am
gang member with the person that was killed the victim of the murder and according to the game code he asked to make amends for allowing a gang member to be killed on his own watch. if he doesn't act toward take. some sort of action against the shooter that he will be disciplined by his own gang so. in this scenario that particular crips gang member. carries out the murder against the great street gang member who provided the gun to the transit and it's all caught on video. this is inside jordan downs it's mid day and you can see there's about 10 to 15 gang members loading the parking lot. just going about their daily business. ok here's the group here of the game members several of them loitering you going to see the victim of the shooting come running.
