---

How you doin'?

- What you doin' Bull?

Actually you said you

was on my son's case.

- How you all doin' today?

Hey,

how you doin'?

- Come here.

- Hey sister, how are you?

He worked on, when my

son, my son was killed.

Murder, ya'll

helped me, 'member?

Yes, of course.

- Today his birthday.

Yeah, I saw that.

Yeah.

How ya doin'?

So when I look at selecting

people for homicide,

I'm looking at

what's at their core,

what's motivating them.

They're just passin' through

here tryin' to check a box,

say, "Hey I worked homicide for

a couple years" and move on,

although that may work,

that's not the ideal

homicide investigator.

The ideal homicide investigator

is someone who looks at it

and knows it's a calling.

It's something

that they wanna do,

they're not doing it for any

reason or short period of time.

This is what is in their DNA.

Ya'll work so hard,

people don't know,

ya'll go home and ya'll

take this with ya'll.

Ya'll make it personal.

And I love ya'll for that.

Well thank you.

Ya'll work so hard, people

never tell ya'll thank you.

Oh, thank you.

- The victims, we the victims.

You're right.

- You know, the family.

I love ya'll.

Thank you.

Ya'll keep up

the good work here.

Okay sister,

we'll talk to ya.

In some aspects, being

a homicide detective here

is the same as it is

anywhere else in the country.

They interview witnesses,

they process evidence,

and they chase leads.

But,

the great success that

we've had in south LA,

in south bureau, has been

the fact that we're workin'

extraordinarily hard to

build relationships in this

community that are

influenced by gang violence.

All these gangs'll have a

hood day every once in awhile.

Which is like the day they,

lands on a certain day of

the month that coincides with

the number of the street

they're on, or whatever

the case may be.

And 40s had a hood day recently

and had a little party,

and drink and whatever.

And one guy ran through

a gun, they got that guy.

And then they had about

30 other guys jammed up

along this driveway over here,

this blue apartment,

blue home here.

Right down that driveway.

So everybody's compliant,

we had 'em lined up

all the way down the right

side of this driveway,

and they had three racks a ribs,

three or four big racks

a ribs on the grill.

So like I said, I

ain't sittin' around

their ribs are gonna burn,

so I ended up cookin',

I cooked their ribs for awhile.

Everybody running their

hands through warrants.

I took 'em off the grill.

They were bein' cooperative,

I couldn't see lettin'

their ribs burn for nothin'.

They offered me some.

I said, "Oh come on,

all you big guys,
