gang. they would live for one another and kill for one another. is there a difference between the cops and the gangsters? absolutely. i am not saying they are the same. but that us-versus-them mentality that made a steal with cops who were willing to plant evidence on people and view the committee as a target as opposed to a partner, there was enough similarity. they are very different, but there is enough similarity and you have to deal with the mindset of both. tavis: mayor are some other fascinating things in the book. conversations you had, were you have done with people high up in the justice department, the defense department, i should say. and some similarities that they saw between what happens in the streets like los angeles and new york and chicago and what they see in iraq and afghanistan. talk about some of those similarities. >> we started the gang prevention academy -- former dancers who can stop the retaliation shootings and work parallel is a former gangsters who can stop th
