1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. There's a really important thing to

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: know when covering issues like this that, especially on the

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: type of podcast I have, one is you can't be

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: the breaking news people like. There's too many moving parts,

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: the story is evolving, and really I'm not a journalist,

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, so I try not to do If you

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: notice the way my show works, I try not to

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: do breaking news stuff that's not the nature of my show.

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I also try not to do the type of analysis

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: that's necessarily drawing the conclusions about whatever particular like political

11
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: land mind something is mine is too translate and to

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: understand and to put into perspective things that might be baffling.

13
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot if you noticed about my show, there's

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: a lot of my show that's really like yo. But

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you know what I'm saying, this

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: is the way that food was thinking about that, or

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: here's a way for you to think about this. Now.

18
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: When you get into something like a school shooting, but

19
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: not only not just a school shooting, elementary school shooting,

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: got dog kids, there's some stuff that I'm just not

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: either emotionally prepared for or even equipped to do commentary on.

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: Nah saying like I can't. I can't call it. And

23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: then there's some sort of political landmines like you know

24
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: what happened every time there's an active gunm in situation

25
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: where you start talking about gun laws again, and like

26
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: if we just if I just kept doing shows about

27
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: gun gun laws, you know, I would sound just like

28
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the cut true where you know, don't

29
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: not never get done, and it's just ridiculous. And in

30
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: the meantime, foods getting shot up all the time, you know,

31
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: and you know DoD daily, you know what I'm saying,

32
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: like all that energy or we're here to drag the

33
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: police or make them be superheroes or you know, sort

34
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: of armchair quarterback in a situation. This here is to

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: understand why the hell you hesitated and how stuff like

36
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: that don't ride where I'm from. But on the other hand,

37
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: you also know, hey, homey, if you weren't outside with us,

38
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you can comment about this. Let's get

39
00:02:45,919 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: into this, uh elementary school shooting, y'all good politics. H So,

40
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: as y'all see, I clearly delayed releasing this particular episode because,

41
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: like I said, it's like, first of all, I have

42
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: to emotionally process the idea of children being subjugated to

43
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: something like this, notwithstanding the fact that I noticed was

44
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: almost a Latino community. It's close to the border that

45
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: hits home. Um. Notwithstanding, I'm like watching the sort of

46
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the the press conference from the police, and I'm like, Yo,

47
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the least you could do was speak Spanish, like, fam

48
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: that's the least y'all could do for these families. You

49
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: can't even do a press conference in Spanish, my niggd,

50
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Like that's called as ice. And of course I'm watching

51
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: the zeitgeist about guns and such, just trying to figure out,

52
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: like what's the angle, what's the basis, like what role

53
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: is to the politics play and something like this. So

54
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: first of all, Yo, nobody should have to live like this.

55
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Nobody should go through something like this. You know, we

56
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: make we make comments and jokes about like and they're

57
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: not jokes like in some senses, but it's like, yo,

58
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it's real in the villa, like if you if you

59
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: lived in like violent neighborhoods, you know, getting invested stuff

60
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: where like our stuff gets shot up. You know. We

61
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: had World on wheels was like a roller skating rink

62
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: and then I had to stop going there. I had

63
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: to go to skate junction out in out in West Kovina.

64
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: This is like twenty minutes east of minutes east of

65
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: where World on Wheels was, because I used to always

66
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: get shot up. You know what I'm saying. This is

67
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: something that like a child shouldn't have to deal with.

68
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: The MLK Day parade down in Lamur Park in in

69
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: south central Los Angeles, the Crunshaw District. We're just stop

70
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: going because something always went down, you know what I'm saying.

71
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: And these are not things that are child should ever

72
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: have to live with. You know, we live in the

73
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: inner city. Parents have been burying their children for decades,

74
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: and even with that being true, it's still not easy.

75
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: You don't get used to it like the one gets

76
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: used to that. So out the box, man, it's different.

77
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: This is different than gang violence because of the the

78
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: nature of what this is. But losing your baby is

79
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: losing your baby and being a part of a community

80
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: that has to deal with this sort of situation. If

81
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: you could hear my voice, shake is because this. You know,

82
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: I never lived through no Sandy Hook. I ain't lived

83
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: through no Colin bind you know what I'm saying. But

84
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: I'm a parent back then when those things were happening,

85
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't apparent, you know what I'm saying, Like I was,

86
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean Colin Bining, Like it's still like around high school.

87
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Ay it was maybe nine and you know what I'm saying,

88
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Well out of high school then you know. But like

89
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: this and stuff is wild to have to live with.

90
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: So first of all, you know, again I know how

91
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: many weeks out this pot is about that, But like

92
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: this stuff stick with you, hommy, Like when you go

93
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: through stuff like this, it is mugs stick with you. Now,

94
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: having said that, here's what I find that needs a little,

95
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: a little explaining, little little little hood. It's auso. If

96
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: there's one thing you know, if you are a civilian

97
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: or you active, if you active as meant like gang banger,

98
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: gang affiliation, if you bout that life, if you in

99
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: the field, if you outside, you in the field, whatever

100
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: slang you're using, you know what I'm saying. If you

101
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: go up to the function and you gotta stick on

102
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: you you pull the stick out, you better be prepared

103
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: to use it. You don't think twice. If you pull

104
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: out on somebody, you listen. You have to use your stick.

105
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: You can't have it on you and pull it without

106
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: the wherewithal that this is pulled to be used. Maybe

107
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: it's a deterrent, maybe you could stop somebody from pulling theirs.

108
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: But you have the thought has to cross your mind

109
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: and you have to reckon with the reality of you.

110
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Ask anybody in the field they have reckoned with the

111
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: reality of already settled that I might not make it

112
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: hone to night. They didn't know. It's already in their head.

113
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: And a lot of them, dudes, which is the sad

114
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: part about it. In in their mind they like, I'm

115
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: already on borroad time. I should have died a long

116
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: time ago. I should have died in a shootout last week,

117
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like they don't already reckoned

118
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: with their morality or non morality. Wow, they didn't already reckon.

119
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Well maybe with their morality maybe that was Freddy and

120
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they don't record with their mortalenty

121
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: already that's already a settled I'm gonna die out here.

122
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: Studies show that like, even even if you get out

123
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: of gang life, if you stay there, like most likely

124
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna die within a ten mile radius or where

125
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: you were from. Nipsey used to say that all time.

126
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm gonna die out here. I'm gonna die

127
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: over here, partially because of his commitment to not leave.

128
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: But it's like, yo, this is my hood. If you

129
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: if you got me, you got me. But I ain't running.

130
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: I ain't running in my own hood. They like, if

131
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: you pull your strap, you using it. Also there's an

132
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: understanding of like, you know what you signed up for,

133
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: you know in in in my story, I have a

134
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: song which maybe I'll link it in the show not

135
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: It's a song called We Was Only ten. It's on

136
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: the people EPs ex streaming. It's you can me and

137
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Dj Mosky you cook it up And I tell the

138
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: story of really my first interaction with like real you know,

139
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: sort of guns and like crip recruitment, and it was

140
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: really accidental, you know, I was, but but it made

141
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: it very clear to me, like that these other little

142
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: ten eleven twelve year old boys, because we was all

143
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: just you know, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve years old,

144
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: it was clear to me that they knew what they

145
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: were signing up four And once it became clear that

146
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: that's what was happening, that this wasn't just me trying

147
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: to kick it with the homies and it's trying to

148
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: be cool because I don't want them to think I'm

149
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: a punk. It was like, oh, we could die. So

150
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: the story for me took place on the east side

151
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: of South Central. I know, I say a lot of

152
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: specifically l a stuff, but that's why y'all love me.

153
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: Right east side of South Central. It's between when my

154
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: grandmother lived on seventy three uh in San Pedro, between

155
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Florence and Maine. Now shoelaces. If you bought my book Terraform,

156
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: you know the shoelaces was blue over there unless you

157
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: go four blocks down to which shoelaces were read and

158
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: then four mode blocks down to which they were blew again.

159
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Anyway, down the street from my grandmother's house

160
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: was my uncle by marriages family, and we should call

161
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: him my dear right and um my uncle's uncle Sonny,

162
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, God rest his saul. And but across the

163
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: street from them were some boys who they had the

164
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: better Nintendo games, you know what I'm saying. They used

165
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: to like, you know, had the boxing gloves out in

166
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: the yard. We was l a kids, you know, And

167
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: for me, I felt like I could free rein, run down,

168
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: running up and down the street because I essentially had

169
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: two grandmothers like on the opposite ends of the block.

170
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: So like this was I mean, this was such a

171
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: little safe an over here. When you're on a block

172
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: like that and you're that young and this is just

173
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: my grandma's house, you don't think about gang life yet.

174
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: You're not thinking about how it's just just unaware, like

175
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: you're just and it's not it's not unaware in a

176
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: sense of like naive, it's just innocent. We're just kids.

177
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: You know. There were kids that, like your grandma said,

178
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: don't play with them, like you know, you're not allowed

179
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: to play with them. They you know, they're not raised right,

180
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: they're bad little kids. And then there's kids that you look,

181
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: there's nowhere in the world y'all didn't know somebody that

182
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: felt like, I don't know, man, I just don't feel

183
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: safe around this food. Like when you was kids, you

184
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: couldn't put your finger on but you were just like, man,

185
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, some you know what I'm saying, Man,

186
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should play with them. So

187
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: we had we had that on our street too, So

188
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: there was kids across the street, and I remember specifically

189
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: my cousins, some of my older cousins being like, basically

190
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: without saying it, like yo, don't go over there, like

191
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: essentially like, man, you know this, this your grandma and them.

192
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: You don't live on this street. That's just your grandma

193
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: on them and you don't know them, and you're not

194
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: built for this. I was like, we're just playing Nintendo,

195
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, and they were cool, it's fun. Everybody over

196
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: there a grandma house. They all older than me. Like

197
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm one of the younger. I'm on the younger side.

198
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: And my cousins so like everybody older than me, Like

199
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: I just got drinking. I'm like, man, I'm I'm just

200
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna go over there and go play. So we're playing Nintendo,

201
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, slap boxing outside, putting the box and things,

202
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: and then they decide they're gonna go to the Golden

203
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: Ox to get some fries. They used to call it

204
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: the Ox. I understand what he was saying at first

205
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: when he said the Ox, and I was like, we're

206
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: going to wear He was like ox. I was like

207
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: where He's like Golden Ox to get some fries. I

208
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah. So I'm looking back across the

209
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: street and there was a golden ox. So, first of all,

210
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking back across the street at my family function

211
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: and they're chilling, and I just remember somebody looking across

212
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: the street basically like Jason, what is you doing? Y'all

213
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: know my birth name is Jason, Like what what is

214
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: you doing? And me just trying to be cool. So,

215
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, there was an alleyway right behind this golden ox.

216
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: It's on Florence and Maine. Uh again, east side of

217
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: South Central were still there, which is like pretty crazy.

218
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: The gay the alleyway. You know, it's caged off now,

219
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: but like it comes a little lack click in the alleyway.

220
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Here comes to lack click clack. Popped the trunk. And

221
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: then I started realizing as they politicking all the little

222
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: cause cause b block lock started happening, and then the

223
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: tools starts showing up, you know what I mean by

224
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: the tools, you know, And at that point, I'm like, oh,

225
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: this is really. Like like I said before, I'm like, oh,

226
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: this is real. You know, I should man, wait a minute,

227
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ready for this. And like

228
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: at that point, I was like, see this why everybody

229
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: kept looking at me across the street like hey, you

230
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I was like, oh this, and

231
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: I remember having I remember making that decision that day,

232
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: like yeah, let me go ahead and uh, let me

233
00:14:27,880 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: go ahead and fall back. There's a thing that people reference,

234
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: at least in the streets, at least in the generation

235
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: before me. Like a lot of young dudes they ain't

236
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: never seen the movie, but but the dudes above me

237
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: referenced the nineties movie Boys in the Hood, because I

238
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: think of a lot of the gangster movies that were

239
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: kind of happening around this time. John Singleton, who was

240
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: clearly from South Central like captured a very special like

241
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: specificity about what it was like to be in South

242
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Central and an extension California as a whole or l

243
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: A as a whole in its surrounding areas. Because you

244
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: could you could uproot this story and in at least

245
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: it's the high points of it, and you could place

246
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: this in Filipino community to places Latino communities. The high

247
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: points of it. There are let me not say it's

248
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: all the same thing, but there are there are specific notes,

249
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: and those notes are captured in the relationship between dough

250
00:15:54,760 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Boy and Trey and dough Boy is ice Cube, These

251
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: dough Boys played by ice Cube and Trades played by

252
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: Cuba Gooden Jr. Right, and when it was time to

253
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: go ride, right we like again. A game references this

254
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: moment too in his Drink Champs episode when it was

255
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: time to go ride, when it was time to go

256
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: shoot up a situation to go blast out the window,

257
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: like it's time to go do some murdering. Trey was

258
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: angry and was in the whip with him, but then

259
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: had a moment where he was like, yo, let me out,

260
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: and the whole and the whole rest of the car

261
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: looked at him like, really need to get you fi

262
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: get out. Dough boys stayed in the car, Trey got

263
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: out the car. Now they brothers, they both same hood,

264
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: same neighborhood, They family like this, They raised in the

265
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: same space, same thing. It's the same. Nobody questioning if

266
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: Trey really from here, but Tray go off to college.

267
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: Dough boy dies, I mean, if if there's a statute

268
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: of limitations on spoilers. But the point is it's the

269
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: picture of whether you gang banging or you just affiliated.

270
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: You a civilian or you're a soldier, and that's the difference.

271
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: Some people stay in the car and it's gonna die

272
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: out here because we know what we signed up for.

273
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: Is the is they attitude? Others are like Tray that's

274
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: like this is my family to sit. But like, listen,

275
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm not made for this, and you gotta make the

276
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: call to get out the car because if you stay

277
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: in the car, you have to shoot because you know

278
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: what you signed up for. You don't think twice right.

279
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: Game makes an example of that's the difference between him

280
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: and Kendrick because he's like they're actually very similar in

281
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: the way that they're in their tastes and what they like.

282
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: It's just the difference is I stayed in the car.

283
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: Kendrick has sense enough to get out the car, you know,

284
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: because you used to think that staying in the car

285
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: was like that's real nigga ship, Like that's you're real man,

286
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: If you're real nigg if you stay in the car,

287
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, it's really you out

288
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: here in the field, like you really. If you stay

289
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: in the car, you you fake and you fraudulent if

290
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: you get out and now Game is like, damn, I'm

291
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: in my forties now, so maybe I should have got

292
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: out of the car. It's it's crazy right you because

293
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: you like, man, I don't know if this was the

294
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: right thing to do. It's what I knew. It's like

295
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: at that point, it's too late. Like I know a

296
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: lot of gang intervention people I I that was like

297
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: serving in our communities was like even way out of

298
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: the I e. Because whatever the reason was, they was

299
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: out there trying to you know, look out for us too.

300
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: The attitude was, look, it's too late for me. Don't

301
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: don't make the same mistakes I did. I know what

302
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: I signed up for. If you got a chance to

303
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: get out the car, get out the car like people think.

304
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: People think that, like you know, gang recruitment is like

305
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: equal opportunity. A lot of these ogs were at least

306
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600

310
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: like it's the pain you experience. But if I'm gonna

332
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:58,440

333
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: you put all our lives in danger. But on the

334
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: other hand, we're still talking about human beings. I don't

335
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: care how hard this person say, how hard they say

336
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: they are. When guns is flying, when the bullets is

337
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: flying and you don't know where the direction they're coming from,

338
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: you don't think twice. It's scary. I don't know if

339
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: you've ever been in a shootout situation, whether you was

340
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: innocent bystander or you just happen to hear from far away. Hell,

341
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: you can hear guns from two blocks away, and it's scary,

342
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 1: Like don't like like, don't let nobody lie to you

343
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: that adrenaline Some people are just adrenaline junkies. It's scary.

344
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: You like this not It's like, don't you your instincts

345
00:21:53,560 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: are gonna click in. It's scary, But what did you

346
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: sign up for? Right? And then on the other hand,

347
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: there's a a type of training that like, well, nobody

348
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: wants innocent people to die, so you don't just don't

349
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 1: start spraying back. You gotta know who your op is,

350
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: what the situation is. And I mean nobody wants you know,

351
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: little Kayla who just happened to be playing outside nobody

352
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: wants unless stay crazy. Nobody wants the baby to die.

353
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: So sometimes you gotta like wait, regroup. You can't just

354
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: shoot at everybody, like hold on, wait, wait a second, man,

355
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: take do a little recon Like think this through. You

Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You're walk into a party. You

357
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,119

Speaker 1: don't know how they're gonna respond. You don't know that.

363
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: You don't make no assumptions about foods like so like

364
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,440

00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: came to my children, I don't know if there's anything,

381
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: and I mean, ain't nothing gonna stop me kind to

382
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: my children. Let me tell this story. We used to

383
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: live in Long Beach and there was one night our

384
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: house used to our our little apartment used to the

385
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: back entrance was like an alleyway, you know in our

386
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: and me and my wife's bedroom window kind of faced

387
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: the alleyway. It was a great view of the alleyway

388
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: in the trash cans anyway. You know, one night, I'm

389
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: dozing off and we hear You always hear people in

390
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: the alleyway, you know, cars, tweakers, whatever the case. Maybe

391
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: you just hear them all the time. And then one

392
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: day in the you know, out of a cold sleep,

393
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: I could hear what sounded like somebody trying to get

394
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: into our gate from the alleyway into like into our

395
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: living space rather than just passing by, so he was

396
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: trying to get in. My eyes popped open cold sleep.

397
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: My wife said, Babe, now you know that pile of

398
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: clothes that's next to the bed that a lot of

399
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: times I don't know. I guess I'm making assist gender

400
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: joke here, but like heterosexual couple sist gender heterosexual couple joke.

401
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: But that pile of clothes that's on the side of

402
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: the bed that men always have, the clothes that are

403
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: in between dirty and clean, where it's like it's not

404
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: really ready for the hamper yet, I could probably wear

405
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: it again. Or it's the parasuetes that you was trying

406
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: to sleep in but it got too hot so you

407
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 1: just put them on the side of the bed. Ultimately,

408
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: that pile of clothes is the babe, did you hear

409
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: that pile of clothes or the can you go get

410
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: me some water? Pile of clothes? At at some point, yo,

411
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: booths ain't gonna send you outside to something. What I

412
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: don't want to be is outside in the alley way

413
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: standing over a dead body in Madrals. I'm not trying

414
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: to be on the news talking about this with self

415
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: defense in Madrals. So there's a pile of closed next

416
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: to my bed, just in case my wife sents me

417
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: to do something. So anyway, Babe, I pop up and

418
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: I probably physically can't do this again. But my side

419
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: of the bed was towards the wall, and her side

420
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: of the bed was, you know, towards the door to

421
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: get out, And somehow another in one movement, I was

422
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: able to push my body up and jump over her,

423
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: get my sweats on, get into the kitchen to the

424
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: like weapons area, grab a knife, and I was outside

425
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: in the alley. And somewhere in between that, I shut

426
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: and locked my wife's door and my child's door, my

427
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: daughter's door to their bedroom. And I don't remember how

428
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: I did all that. It was like you just your

429
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: lizard brain clicks in and it's just go time. All

430
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: I could think about is you gonna have to kill

431
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: me before you get to my family. I'm either going

432
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,399

444
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,920

00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: like I can't explain in All I could think about

Speaker 1: look like I said, I probably I don't. I couldn't

451
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,359

452
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: that type of energy to force at any moment. I

453
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,439

455
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Ain't no way, it's just nothing to do

456
00:28:43,560 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: it now, active shooter situation. You're on the special duty

457
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: of protecting elementary school kids. And as the story has developed,

458
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: we've been learning and trying to understand how all of

459
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: this transpired. You know, it's a town of like sixty

460
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: six thousand people, like there's there's barely anyone there. It's

461
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: a small, tiny Latino town with an even tinier police force,

462
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: and you in probably the scariest situation of your life. Now,

463
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: I started looking for people who were in special forces,

464
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: tactical units, or signed up for this special type of

465
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: school police protection, which really only existed after post Columbine,

466
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, and that was something we ain't ever seen

467
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: nothing like that, like an active mass shooter situation in

468
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: a school. Schools used to not have forces that were

469
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: specifically for that. Before that, you were supposed to wait

470
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: for the experts, you know, you you yeah, you don't

471
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: go in because we never seen nothing like that, Like

472
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: you wait for the experts. After this, it was like,

473
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: after this, you know, we started having these rise of

474
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: these active gunmen's, these shooters school shooting situations. No, you

475
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: you need to take the you need to take the

476
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: danger out immediately. You gotta subdue the the target immediately.

477
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: And there's no thinking like I need to stop who

478
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: who to shoot or find him? Shoot him? Ended? And

479
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: I think about end it now, you know what I'm saying.

480
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: But it didn't used to be like that. Now you're

481
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: in a tiny town near a Texas border. This is

482
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: the last thing on your mind. Family. You've been writing tickets,

483
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: you've been like being deporters, you know what I'm saying.

484
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: Just you ain't like you know you like you haven't

485
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, doing domestic violence calls like you ain't had

486
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: no situation like this. But if you but once you

487
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: start talking to like you know, special forces, taxing people

488
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: like I saw this video on on what is that

489
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: thing called Twitter? I'm tired, y'all. And the gentleman was

490
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: calmly explaining, Hey man, you have to understand that if

491
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: you sign up to protect people's babies, don't nobody care

492
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: whether you make it home or not. That's stay babies.

493
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: And if that's a thing for you, then this may

494
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 1: be not the job. Like if you if you're trying

495
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: to preserve your own life, you have you this isn't

496
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: the field. No one is concerned about your life. And

497
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, he Cutt't it real clean for that?

498
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of true. Man, Like when we're thinking about

499
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: the police response, which we're getting to when it was

500
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: when the when the cops was like, yo, well we

501
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: might get shot too. That's why we didn't go in.

502
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: It's like, don't mind it. Why whether you live or not,

503
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: anybody worried about the fireman give burnt you both. That's

504
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: your job. You go in there and put the fire

505
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: out again. You know what you signed up for. So

506
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: this is what he trying it. So this so this

507
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: this technical unit dude that I saw twitter that I'm

508
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: horribly I should have more evidence it is, but his

509
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: own their problems. He was like, listen, maybe this isn't

510
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: a job for you, and that's fine. And that's that's

511
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: why I think people need to understand. It's fine if you, like,

512
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: if you're still trying to believe this like superhero, like

513
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: you're all John McClain, Like all cops are John McClain.

514
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's a die hard reference

515
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: that all cops. And he's just like hero, you know,

516
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: just crime fighters, like all of your Avengers. Then yeah,

517
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: then you can't bitch up in a situation like this,

518
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: or maybe you're not, and listen, it's fine. Just don't

519
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: sign up for the type of position that you can't

520
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: but then just just betrayed. It's fine, Just get out

521
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: the car because you like this ain't the world for you.

522
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: And don't ask for billions of dollars for no tanks

523
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: and like army grade weapons. If when you had the

524
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: chance to use your weapons, you don't use them. You

525
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: got to know what you signed up for. And don't

526
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: nobody care whether you come home or not. We're talking

527
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: about their children, and as and as the story is progressed,

528
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: that's rain true about children, about your kids too, because

529
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: not only were the police having a restraint of parents,

530
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: some of them parents got away and went and got

531
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: their babies. Ain't none of y'all. You're not listen to me.

532
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: Listen to me. You're not gonna stop me from getting

533
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: my baby. I die in there. You're not gonna stop

534
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: me from getting my baby. And then when the cops

535
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: finally went in, guess what they did. A couple of

536
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: them when got their babies, Like I just okay, that's

537
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's huteman. Have you just I'm saying, at

538
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: that point, your lizard brain took over. I don't care

539
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: how much you've been trained. The ship is scary. Your

540
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: lizard brain gonna take over. Just don't act like you

541
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: an avenger because you're not. And so and in my

542
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: position is this Wait, let me back up. The story

543
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: I'm covering was how the local police hesitated and then

544
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: some of them waited for and then they waited for

545
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: like the specialist to get there before they breached the

546
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: school to go apprehend this kid that was, you know,

547
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: shooting up in the meantime, like and not only that,

548
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: like Homie was outside the school. He's running around to

549
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: see and shot at his grandma, crashed his car. Was

550
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: like shooting outside the school, then went in the school

551
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: started shooting the popo just around now. I'm trying to

552
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: paint this picture to give some color to what the

553
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: popo was doing. And if you haven't followed me, so,

554
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: if you haven't figured out what I'm trying to do

555
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: here is I'm actually humanizing the police here too. What

556
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is shit is scary, right, But

557
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you stayed in the car with

558
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: dough Boy. But on the other hand, when you was

559
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: in that alleyway between Florence and Maine, you could have

560
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: turned around just like me. Not only you kept going.

561
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: I know it's scary, but this is what you signed

562
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: up for. So they didn't go in. They waited, and

563
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: as the story started going coming forward, like, yo, I

564
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: thought that wasn't protocol, Like why did y'all wait in?

565
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: Their answer got everybody riled up, And I want you

566
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: to listen to this answer and follow me on this.

567
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: The answer us look at we didn't even know where

568
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: the bullets was coming from. And when they stopped shooting,

569
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: he said that for a second there, we thought it

570
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: went from an active shooter to a barricade situation. And

571
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: if it's a barricade situation, then yeah, you need some tactics,

572
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,959
Speaker 1: you need some strategy. So on one hand, you could

573
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: make the descendant and look, and this is what they're

574
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: trying to say. It sounds awful when they're like, well,

575
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: if we had just went in, man, we would have

576
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: got shot and we could have died too. I know

577
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: it seems crazy, but like I mean, we could have

578
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: shot too, and all of us went chick rocks. Their

579
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: argument is, well, if we go down, then there's no

580
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: hope what y'all gonna do if we go down. So

581
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that we're good too. We're

582
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: trying to preserve life. But like all want my officers

583
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: to die. Either. The problem is, don't nobody care about

584
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: your life? Right now? Our children are in there, nicky,

585
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: you signed up to watch our children. I'm my my

586
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: brain look, my brain went back to the lizard thing.

587
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: Somebody need to go in there and get my kids.

588
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: And if you ain't gonna go, I'm gonna go. Make

589
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: give me that gun. Like listen, you're gonna be an

590
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: alleyway like problem. Either they're dying, I'm dying. Let me

591
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: tell you what's not gonna happen. Not gonna You're not

592
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna get my children, but showing up nineteen nineteen folks,

593
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: nineteen babies. All that to say this, when you look

594
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: at the police decision, and now you know as of

595
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: today it's may, it's being investigated. Like the governor Abbott,

596
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: you know, for what he's worth. He's like, man, what wait,

597
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: y'all wait what? And the police chief in the place

598
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,479
Speaker 1: was like, yo, we got the benefit of hindsight now,

599
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: like damn that was not a good idea. Sometimes you

600
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: take else you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm gonna

601
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: give him that. He's like, damn, yeah now it sounds

602
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: stupid now. It sounds stupid now. But Yo, at the

603
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: time we thought this was the right thing to do.

604
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: Maybe or maybe y'all was scared, you know, And if

605
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: you're scared, go to church, just like this ship you

00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: And on top of that, it's our children, and it

608
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: might be a whole lot of reasons why tactically speaking,

609
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: you should take a beat to figure out what you're doing.

610
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm just like, look, man, y'all signed up to be

00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: watch now listen. If you got a conscious that stuff

613
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: weigh heavy on you. I don't think it's any officer

614
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: in that tiny town that that ain't wearing heavy on

615
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: you know. We see the uh you know, the political stuff.

616
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: I noticed because I know if O. G has lived

617
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: long enough, they carry a lot of PTSD and regret

618
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: around some of the lives they've taken. It's like, no,

619
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: we did, we had to do. I get it. You

620
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It was their life over mind.

621
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: I made a decision. But this and ship humm me,

622
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: it keeps it keep them up at night. And especially

623
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: if you ever did time, Like unless you just a

624
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: straight sociopath, you did time. Man, You're like, yeah, I'm

625
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: haunted by this stuff, man, like you're sitting in that

626
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: sale by yourself. I mean, it is scary, man, And

627
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: it's already it's already traumatic because you know, especially like

628
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: if it was a shootout situation, like I'm talking gang stuff,

629
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: it was shootout situation, like you your life flash before

630
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: your eyes too. Don't let nobody a lie to you.

631
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: You don't get used to that, you know. But I

632
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: know it's police right now, who's like getting night terrors?

633
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: They know the nineteen kids was on. They watch you.

634
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: You think they don't regret that pause. You think they

635
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: don't regret that, I bet you they do. I think

636
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: some of them didn't know what they signed up for.

637
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: I think some of them did. I think some of

638
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: them just didn't never expect that this was gonna go down. Now,

639
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: there might be levels of racism to it. I don't know,

640
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: that's not I don't know that's not a not a

641
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: story I'm seeing. The most racist thing I've been seeing

642
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: was the fact that like y'all can't even talk to

643
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: these families in Spanish. It's like you don't even care fan.

644
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying from what I understand. You

645
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: know this city is notorious for like gunning for deportation.

646
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they held off because it was

647
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: brown kids. I know that like a lot of uh

648
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: the police force was brown kids. But power is the

649
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: hell of a drug. Don't you get into a system,

650
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: you start thinking you better than the other ones. Now,

651
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that's the situation. I know it's real

652
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: in the field, though, I also know listen, when you

653
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: sign up this, look, that's just how this is just

654
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: how it go. Fam You signed up for this, and

655
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, it's par for the course.

656
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: When you if you pull, if you look, you gotta bust,

657
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: you gotta shoot, it sucks. And if you nod down

658
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: the shoot, then don't sign up for it, or don't

659
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: pretend like you were superhero because you're not. And that's fine,

660
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: it's okay if you're not a superhero. Hey, I'm saying, look, police.

661
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: It's okay if you're not John McClain, it's fine. Just

Speaker 1: make it very clear on this show that I do

665
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: talk a lot of gangster stuff. Why I always have

666
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: a caveat is because I need people to understand I'm

667
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: never gonna false flag for you, because I'm okay with

668

671
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: around in my whole life. But I ain't been a

672
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,399
