:20:01
I'm a cop.
:20:04
You're a cop?
:20:06
- Where?
- South Central.
:20:08
Let's get this straight.
:20:10
Your daddy got 187'd by a brother...
:20:13
...and you 5-O in South Central?
:20:14
We need cops who ain't looking
for an excuse to smoke a brother.
:20:18
I became a cop because a lot of cops
up here don't give a damn.
:20:23
Call an ambulance, it takes 20 minutes.
Call a cop, it takes two hours.
:20:26
- So when you get the call?
- ASAP, brother.
:20:29
You never pulled a Rodney King?
:20:30
No, and hope I never have to.
:20:33
You hope? What do you mean?
:20:34
I mean there's a lot of brothers
out here who play for keeps.
:20:38
Crips and Bloods are not choirboys.
:20:41
Most white kids ain't choirboys,
but do you whup them at will?
:20:45
If I have to clock a brother
to teach him a lesson...
:20:48
...I'll do it and save his life.
:20:51
You think what you want.
:20:52
All you know about South Central
is what you see at the movies...
:20:56
...brought to you by folks who don't
go south of the Santa Monica Freeway.
:21:01
I think it's great what you're doing.
:21:03
I really do. Working with at-risk
kids is wonderful.
:21:06
My lady runs a mentoring program
out of her office on weekends.
:21:10
I tell Shelly all the time,
"You're running this program...
:21:14
...that's great...
:21:15
...but you're behind a desk and have
no idea what's going on out there."
:21:20
Don't tell me I have no idea!
:21:22
Because I've been on
the front lines many times.
:21:26
You gangbanged?
:21:29
Up until two years ago.
:21:32
I've been Cripping since
I was 12 years old.
:21:35
Gangbanging, that was my job.
:21:37
24/7, I used to have to watch my back.
:21:40
Kill or be killed. Why?
:21:42
That's what every fool
in the 'hood did.
:21:45
Who was I to be different?
:21:47
Ever smoke somebody?
:21:48
First time was on my 13th birthday.
:21:51
You know what Jewish kids do
on their 13th birthday?
:21:56
OGs wanted to test my manhood.
:21:58
So we pull up on some Bloods.
