The largest ones over going to be jordan downs nickerson and Imperial Courts basically theres a different gang and each one of them Nickerson Gardens has Bounty Hunter bloods thats a thats a really large gang a couple 1000 members im sure imperial theyve got some some pretty good names theyve got i think funny side hill side im not sure where all these names come from the great street which is in jordan downs youre going to have things like peta roland and different gangs that are in there and different subsets of the same gang theyre all creature eclipse and then theres a lot of conflict within the gangs and. In between the gangs most of the conflict i would say revolves around money and most of that money is made through dope 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 were 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 gang related there are some that arent you have some Domestic Violence but most of its gang related and a lot of its dope or were going to go we. Want to poison our job to a dollar and out of the day every day. As an average paranoid on avoiding. Thinking you know make a living more than a. Bring your own money back. So we did. Not chose easy i guess i get paid every day think we still get paid every day every day i wake up come friday very. Uneasy in the large amount of. Yeah ill be a large amount of anything is money to be made you can make money off of marijuana crack christo anyone but you if you got a large amount thats when you making the money. I said.

No you get it and youve got to get it or you know im sad so are people we dont know mom i know daddy so you know he has industries who look for top the streets and they say you got it you know be a thing and then get on from there you know looking back. You know it was fun to be home to. Be i know. Im right. Off the field its one. We game a we represent this project i would always do it at but at the same time is still some nose out there bigger than this. Never stop playing no this model that i love. To do. Want to see some beer for all of us to grow a succeed off of people that care and love to wait for the. What. We. Want. Every man i try to get everybody not to play good. Try to stop. Complaining that it. Was put on day one. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race off and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. You know. Im one of them and i think you might. Get one news reel buddy. Paid bobo. I dont want or i can just let me as i knew she needed out with me about it yeah i am kind of the room you could be in bed and had a chicken god. You may have to move out of one of the one that young enough to pull pull out of the. 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 do so 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 wouldnt 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 well 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 dont believe theres 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 its been 20 years since the last one but the riots the 65 riots of 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 a 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 on any 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 i was going to. Have one good look at me and youre like oh you dont let. I. Really believe that here you medalling see you want to lie in state hustling you know saying stay hustlin real before felon brawl with her is really all i know rather than this day and one day and im not going to you just like im not going to change it ill believe you and now say ill be here with nobody to tell you im even by being you youll be in a failing army you know santa feel like you cant make it you know saying theres a way you can make it all me they got programs for you to get into how many you can get you a job or a legitimate job homie and at the worry about all that man but the clothes that the people got to help me get a job they got right now ive been looking for 5 months bro. I mean months 5 months im tired im ready to give up so youve been. Saying. Access to good. Out here on the streets you get hangin in life or you know Assault Rifle that day for less than a 1000. 00. Here. It is to. Keep this honest announcement not hard but the way men and i had to go here work you know so because you. Know gave it down to you know got to be college right my route you know no hammer no right. To going to move thats all that you cant do try to play the game go where you can see the street oh just a spade right here we call this out of not really gone south. And is really going to. Look at it go go they just got to. The cliff. On time by the sound of love me for any of them my life time but the passing of my brother thats what hit me the most. Is that i was a big toll on the passing of my brothers but i deal with them every day listening to read. You know the last plaintiff before you out of a so it had heard me but. Not to the extent that i lost my brother. I mean and then a few years ready later my son i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. So i still havent recovered from all that like the saddest feel taken oh you know toll on me to where i havent found a way to cope yet. I am. I am. I and. Heres the end of the 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 are constantly hurting and costly and eat so we have to look beyond ourself in the towards 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 male lineal. We. Will be doing all over this. Matter we. Only. 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 them. Theyll search and search and then theyll find again. Some of the gangs they give them a sense of worth they feel important they feel like they are someone. However we try to do is really to let them know you dont need a game you have a sense of selfworth. With the lord. That 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 thats on us. You can be more. Good news mason we started like this we will look up in the sky and surveying 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. Its something going now but guess what its no yellow tape but. Well find out what happens if you fail me. The cameras are very powerful weapon and once you have that camera on the camera doesnt lie on action you know you dont have to walk out the test you know or do any of that stuff your camera is your hour is not going to lie the l. A. P. D. Murdered an unarmed teenager in the Imperial Courts housing projects thursday afternoon the 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 and. This was on the same who actually lives in Imperial Forces she was visiting there will be able to start before the security. Issues that we are going. To get to meet it. Would upset me. To get me to try to describe to you our little know what i. Think were just trying to try my c. P. R. Certified it may still be all the time i spend big i could be down here to be very trying to the police i shot somebody in broad daylight in front of everybody stand over him while he died i covered that story and then just another sad story. This body here is 115th street one of the busiest rock cocaine spots by far and ones but i would say even in the country. My experience nobody does more on cocaine than the bombing on the bloods and i mean the money is huge its probably 30. 00 to 50000. 00 a beacon in sales just in this developed would be biased. To rival gang raping crips and the same problem they do make money in sales narcotics in the motivation to stay within the gang is a means alive in haiti is an ongoing feud between the great tree crips and the montana 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 they were murdered 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 youre going to western movies they had to Bounty Hunters. And during that time they used to. You know wash the western movies and always talk about the bunny hollows and thats how we create we took that same piece. Start calling. It was a murder that took place in the bond of blood he was stabbed to Death Outside the area you could see right here is his vigil they love to honor their dead. When theres a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few good results from the one incident if he kills a bonding honor then the bombing honors get together and they need to retaliate and the more violent gang is the more respect it has the more violent a gang it is the more successful they are the more violent the gang is the more the Community Feels that they are intimidated and they cant do anything about it and thats how they run the streets. Seemed wrong. Just. To me to be yet to shape out the state becomes to educate and in detroit it equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Officer. Told him to get up off the ground the officer began to pet him down. And then place on the sounds of kind of fighting into the grown man like wrestling essentially officer hurley. Through his window. Which threw away from the officer holding the toys out of his crib. The obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on tree swung at the officers hands didnt hit him i never saw any contact between the 2 any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and thats when the officer pulled out his gun and aimed it on tree. You. So the approach of promise is to protect russias National Security by mirroring new u. S. Missile capabilities following the collapse of the i n f control agreements also. Police use water kind of the tear gas against anti capitalist protesters close to the g. 7 summit the demonstrators that demanding that the leaders of the worlds top economies. Inequality and run away from the evil. And the as easy as it looks our correspondent takes to the skies with russias elite ever seen before the forthcoming show. About a bad bank but the
