Roll and Different Things that are in the different subsets of the same game in all 3 crips and that theres a lot of conflict within the gangs and. And between the games most of the conflict i would say revolves around money and most of their money is made from top sales they do have other activities but thats thats the main source of most of their income. And thats what drives a lot of the violence thats out here we have way down in murders historically for this area but were still i think were up to 40 for this year and i am not sure but i think this division is only 10 square miles and you had 40 murders and thats thats the lowest amount of murders weve had in decades and its virtually all being related there are some that arent you have some Domestic Violence but most of its getting late in the lot of its doper than were going to we.

But. We. Want to. Every day i mean i try to get everybody not get the good. Time to stop taking my stuff good to. P. V. A wasp it was day one. Nato the defensive alliance that has shaken several countries its the union of the supposedly like minded the culture agree on what the main threats of its the appear to me of military might that said to be both in great shape and brain dead at the same time as the organization celebrates its 70th anniversary is it finally signed for it just think about whats on. The Korean Special or something we can bank of switches on the minute of. Yeah but theres also the gulf where. You thought the whole doping can russia think was over forget it. But your book come about through a couple of us sure mostly are some of the models of the. Russian outlets eligibility for the International Competition says at stake this includes events like the Tokyo Olympics and the fee for world cup and qatar if i am in the early as last. Year when you coming out though just as it was 4 years ago in moscow antidoping plavix at the center of the scandal so who tampered with the doping samples database and one does greegor you want you guys have to do with it i knew she still has reached out to paul simeon is not. Hes a push on the bush. By to expose me emotion touch a little to the pollution a dinner tonight. Moved to the big time they mailed me more wrong. And its. Only through the surveillance photos that we got it was. In this community there are people who believe that its ok to to sell marijuana to put food on the table its ok to sell practical food on my table and its i got a tail its 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 ive got kids that have to eat and as a parent. I cant come up with a logical argument to say that if i were in that situation and thats the only option i had that i would do the same thing and so its been really important to me to try and build some understanding in the Police Officers in the realities of the community and that doesnt 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 its a victimless crime its not there are people dying over it several years ago in the early sixtys 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 dont believe theres been enough time in dedication and passion income compassion and the 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 its 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 in 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 isnt a sit down restaurant in watts there isnt a Movie Theater in watts we do not have a y. M. C. A. Or 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 given street in watts is either a liquor store or a funeral home or in a church. You need to live my life. You know. That was very. Very intense and well you know look at mean youre like oh. Are you. Going to hear you look down like you want to lie in state hustling you know saying stay hustlin really before felon bros i was really home no redemption all day and one day and im not going to you just like im not going to you know that ill believe you know say ill be here with nobody to you i mean even by being you youll be in a failing on me you know saying i feel like you cant make it you know im saying theres a way you can make it all me they got programs but you would get into how many you can get you a job or a legitimate job homie and then at the word about all that money but the good the people go. So help me get a job they got right now ive been looking for 5 months bro. Me 5 months im tired im ready to give up their so youve been hustling. Same. Access to good grounds and you know if theyre out here on the street you get hanged in life or you know Assault Rifle or that bag for less than a 1000. 00. Here you know the heart is here and it is. You keep this honest now and i do not talk about the way man and i had to go here work you know so because you know. To no game it down to you know got to be crowded right my router you know no hammer no i see it going to move you i saw that it come to try to play some game going where you out there see the street oh my lord just a spade right here we call this out of not really gone south as you. And is really going to. Look at it go they just live up to it but let it go down town by the cliff not talk about sound bites i have loved me for any of them my life time but the passing of my brother i was with him you dont know. Those and i took a big toll on the passing of my brothers but i deal with them every day using the job that every day when i lost plenty of friends before you thought of me so it had heard me but. Not to the extent that i lost my brother. I mean in a few years later my so i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. So i still havent recovered from all that like deep down inside his spiel taken oh you know told on me to where i havent found a way to cope. I am. I and. Theres 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 Sheriffs 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 were in an area where people who are constantly hurting and costly and eat so we have to look beyond ourself in the boards helping people we have so many people that dont have a father so i can serve as our role model and that image and to give a positive light on many people who havent seen productive africanamerican males. 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 theyll search and search and then theyll find again 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 tried and it is. Really to let them know youll meet again have a sense of self worth. With the lord. They you can have a different sense of selfworth and you dont have to depend on anyone and besides that you can get involved in something this on a pioneer 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 more is something going now my guess what its no yell and say well yeah this is how we do it. We put it down flop people as we go do we will find out what happened you know your boy do it you feel me. The cameras a very powerful weapon and once you have that camera on the camera doesnt lie on actions you know you have to walk out the pistol you know when to any of messed up 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 teenagers 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 before. She went there to tell you that they need it right. Pretty much just write. A letter you know what i. Just heard from a p. R. 30 still read all the time theyre going to be down here are you trying to the police i shot somebody in broad daylight in finance. Stand over him while he died i covered that story and then just another sad story. This block here is 115 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 its probably 30. 00 to 50000. 00 and we can in sales just in this develop could be biased. Their rival gang prevention creeps in the same problem they do make money in sales a narcotic in the motivation to stay within the gang is a nice alive in haiti is an ongoing feud between the great mystery crips and the bonnie hunt of bloods weve 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. 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 youre 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 thats 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 his visual they love to honor their dead. When theres a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few results from the one incident. Kills upon an honor then the bombing im going to get together and they need to retaliate and a more violent gang is. The more respect that 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 cant do anything about it and thats how they were on the streets. Thinking of getting a new gun the ones we got in our shells no problem was he didnt know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired coach we dont need a crate with him he will just stir reaching out and she will want to spray him anywhere near.
