And this is a chance what this is a time when if they a lot of them are making decisions about who theyre going to be as adults if youre living in poverty and everyone around you is living in poverty its hard to understand why you should get up in the morning go to school every try to find a job and then go to that job every day and do things that are not necessarily fun and interesting and this is not about the students or about the parents its and but theres a lot of history of. People being incarcerated if there are has been and still is a lot of drug abuse in philadelphia and i think if you live in poverty and without hope its very hard to. Dig yourself out of that its very hard to do the things you need to do. If you graduate a part of that bradley uprising which will only make it harder for. This is this is a signature of.

They would fight for you know stuff on the corners the main thing is. They start shutting down the schools stock given the key its different activities they took out the gym school they took out. Different activities for the kids to do they all have all football and baseball games and stuff like that to go to we had the chance to sell by the sports they had joe best basketball player he was good he was he was looked up to and he was a mark by the different people in the school when they did that they dont do that like the school more theyll give you a chance to have to show. You all really ability the kids they dont want to go just the more. Social science math and all that one and a lot more than that in school we were doing all the more. So we asked students in the spring how many of them knew you know could put their hands on a gun within 24 hours and all. Asked every student in the school felt that they could get their hands on a gun within 24 hours my students are not buying guns but they know that their uncle has a gun and they know where it is or they know that. They know somebody who has a con and then know where it is so when i say they can put their hands on a gun im not saying i could buy one.

They can come and blow our brains out at any given time and we cant really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill people out war illegally get away with. All the fire crawls still berea all the trouble heres 3 failed the point its hello playing the k. K. K.

Experience exposed to and why would she. Go out of the. Box. Ill tell you so shocking my. Theory is why. Were. Not seeing a lot of. d seconds on sci fi use. Because. You. Just let. Us know its an important so really important issue in our community and people are dying and theres a lot of shooting going on and a lot of it is. Because people are not thinking it through to people who are in their communities that are doing that need to come and talk to them and share with them about their lives and flies them about their lives so ongoing and mentor them i mean i think our stories all need mentors and community and i think there are. Community is full of people who are i mean i think actually the most important icons are the ordinary people who just have figured out how to have a good life and are working to have families have a house. You know because i think he you know one of the problems in and ive had ive been working with this copulation for 25 years and i think one of the problems is that its only the famous people are not the right people for it to be using as your models because very few people are going to become stars and thats you know i mean if youre lucky in that happens thats great but for the rest of the population figuring out what the balance is i have work that youre satisfied with and the. Holzer well that keeps you in the house to have friends those are really important skills that. Need to be modeled. On a. Little more respect i mean because black lives matter risk because i want to make sure its going to drive the next generation to take on that task that americans are both for except for native for what if dr Michael Marmot i dont want to ever tell i dont want to carve growing. What i regard know what jumped out or what the ground was shot down. To the reality of what went on with your what 3700 doesnt imply stuff and i was out and think to myself oh when it comes to relationships between the black and White Community when it comes to relationships often to commend. Them for. Worked with their own laws old policy that they could push we also work with them to organize a march. That. They did everything from. Media press relations to outreach to reached out to all the elected officials within new york City Logistics to help plan a route marshalling may help each other with safe they create signs there was a lot of beautiful saying citys children did but were teaching a lot of fight. Right how do. You think about the schools they develop your relations immunizations these are skills that they could take to college and into corporate america. These are the careers they want to pursue which is for a while lot of these kids will have something that theyll have a leg up on all all of the kids in a situation who want to become a lawyer thats. Right now be able to write out legislation ok there we will go and lobby for in the state capital in albany down at city hall these kids are a part of history and its important that we make them part of the site. Gives them a way to false to be changed if they want to see help them create Solutions Based on the future of these kids all the future of the city and we are hoping to get to where they need to be. Its a who cooking. Reading could. Cook just the day but. Youre. The fellowmen type and. We were shopping malls. I asked the teacher that one day i have seen this while we get home from work the reason the would only harm is they dont feel like doing the work. 40 youve got 40 kids to a class and weve got a great 40 kids paper. Plus homework they say oh were going get a relative audience so we just. Know we need the education guy should be able to do day for us not say oh we dont. Blame the teachers because the tondo home where he got cut out of the School Systems having budget cut is not every day you see a kid go to school and do what i got to do the mission my film to get out the hood ill make sure im doing im going to school for you reason its not a lot of time in syria a lot of people state school the summer when i get up get out the way some of. My mom and my dad stop saying some i get out the house now we have african teachers in urban teachers that did not speak perfect english but you got to teach in a losing place i cant understand what they saying is a highly teaching. But thats just because of the budget cut. At the right times to replace just good they. Cant try to educate people of the person thats in the classroom dont know the knowledge they so they dont know how were learning. Thats often the scope of the girls girls at least dance drugs keep these drugs to be a need to. Hold. Everybody have a different i just see the new as far. As the due caution is it helps to up the spin. Room at last on the side here. And on to be off in full gear which. Is what is known as the i can do all i do all i can do. Because hes allowed to games to. Do for you to free said no. You cant act as a Police Officer without probable cause even if you see somebody who looks suspicious theyre doing something suspicious you cant necessarily do a lot about it unless you see that im doing something specific so you may see somebody standing out and its really cold out and theyre along and you want to know what theyre doing but you really cant search them or anything like that. Typical things that you might be looking for are people who are out in cold weather or in odd parts of the city you could observe them from a distance if they cant see. These under the saloon there hes at a bar hes standing outside and people inside may know that if you want anything go outside and see that guy pick it up and take a baguette. But chances are hes not going to be dealing on the street if he is outside of a bar if he has any connection to the bar because the the best way to deal. In a bar situation is in the mens room. This guy here thats given a good look and hes welcome back thats good if you are in uniform if youre not in a cruiser he knows that you saw him so he may decide not to be doing any more business tonight. He is standing there in the dark and why and again its a constant like around whether its 5 minutes later 20 minutes later youre coming back around again now what is he up to. If youre in uniform if youre in a cruiser and he knows youre a cop probably less danger if he knows youre a cop if youre if youre in uniform he knows that you saw him he knows it you saw him standing there and you may come back around and he met or better not be Holding Anything he better not be in the middle of dealing anything like that if youre working undercover you really dont want to be seen you dont want to make eye contact with the guy unless you want to make some sort of a deal with and you certainly dont make him suspicious although you might well make eye contact in terms of giving him that the idea that you want something. This pizza shop here. That could be alive depending upon how late thats open that pizza shop could be a place where people are going to congregate theyre going to go there are late at night place its open 24 hours a day or a very very late thats where people want to go after the bars and they want may want to keep the party going a little bit so that would be a good place to sell. Join me every thursday on the all excitement and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. There was a crack seems to do crack when i was a locate my dad he was like a bust at the so you know like what i mean it when i was a baby boy i had a bad childhood. Theres always been single mothers and Africanamerican Community service and slavery. I think its more of these teenagers having kids and you can expect a 14 or 15 year old 1st daughter now order for him maybe a far there and hes a check out. We actually lost our place and. My car end up breaking down and i was unable to get to work on time so they let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have barely enough to pay my car insurance. Gas in my car. Some control for a middle class to homeless even though its muslim are very hard working people who want to get ahead that have either have some some Health Issues or have some of how district about luck a full time job wont always pay for a place to live and missing just a months rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly.
