12:46 am
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 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 the 65 riots the 92 riots left a huge scar in this community they left a scar on this community that has caused the business not to be able to come back. until we can bring business back to this community it can thrive there isn't

12:51 am
a big toll on the passing of my brothers but i deal with them every day listening to other every day and i lost it in a frame before you wrote to 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 deep down inside his steel taken over you know told on me to where i haven't found a way to cope. i and. there's been a great number of shooting incidents which have occurred right outside. right
12:52 am
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 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 male.
12:53 am
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 themself they'll search and search and then they'll find a gang 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. with the lord. they you can have a different sense of self-worth and you don't have to depend on anyone and besides that you can get involved in something this on

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 a huge it's probably $30.00 to $50000.00 and we can in sales just in this develop could be biased. their rival gang rape increase in the same problem they do make money in sales a narcotic in the motivation to stay within the gang isn't is a live in haiti is an ongoing feud between the great tree 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 a very 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
