homeless services is allocated $100 million in the city of los angeles, but $87 million goes to the lapd to police the community in downtown los angeles and in the skid row communities. the other piece i want to talk about is the creation of this rhetoric as professor brown was speaking about it i was reminded of the lynch letters, and when you read the letters and some of the community members were reading passages and you could clearly identify that how predictive policing was part of it about the location of the plantation owner's house and the physical characteristics of the slaves and how they should be monitored and traced and how they should be tracked. then i want to talk about the infinite amount of money that is being poured. when we look at the homeland security grants how those monies are routed to the local law enforcement that to the extent since 2003 in los angeles and the long beach area over $800 million has come directly to law enforcement agencies to keep on policing our communities. lastly on that point i want to raise the level of corporate profit and also we cannot

i work with a group called the stop lapd coalition. i'm not an academic or lawyer but primarily grassroots organizer, that's been my history. it basically is that we are discussing the system that is fundamentally flawed by design. and professor simone brown spoke about the history of surveillance, and i think as an organizer, one of the things we always try to do is building in the communities and in particular building with communities on skid row and the coalition is based out of los angeles to look at the landscape of surveillance and the landscape of policing that and how many different ways it is impacting our community so i have a little graphic. many folks in the audience are e some of the folks in the audience may have seen this before. this is just a circle of lapd love that we feel every day. this is the architecture of surveillance both human and electronic technology the los angeles police department is using. but i don't want to go through that because it is going to take a whole lot of time. but the point being that in e
