Waist Deep
Save our streets!
Save our streets!
Residents of South Los Angeles
marched on City Hall
for the third day in a row,
protesting the lack of police protection
in their community.
The protests were touched off by
the death of Mildred Thompson.
Mrs. Thompson, her husband
and two children died while sleeping.
Their home was set on fire
by suspected gang members
involved in the drug trade.
According to reports,
Mrs. Thompson had confronted the leader
of the notorious gang
the Outlaw Syndicate,
demanding that
members of his gang...
Yeah?
...no longer sell drugs
in front of her home.
Sh*t, Luck.
I asked you to do one thing.
One thing, and you can't even do that.
Well, it's 3:
00.He get out at 3:
00.No, I can't leave here
and go get him. I can't.
Because I just got this job, dawg,
and I'm not trying to f*** it up.
Lucky...
All right. I'm gonna get over there
when I can, man.
Yeah.
How you doing, Mr. Brooks?
This is Otis over in Security.
Sir, my replacement
and I gotta go deal with a family
emergency that just popped up.
No, I understand.
No. No. It's my son,
Mr. Brooks.
Hello?
What's up, L.A.?
It's your girl Yo-Yo
making it do what it do.
Record temperatures
continue today
in what has been
the longest heat wave in 27 years.
Nine people have died
from heat-related complications,
and there is no end in sight.
In South Los Angeles,
residents of Watts Fowler continue
their boycott of city services
until the Mayor has addressed
their grievances.
Hey, look, I'm gonna have to lock the gate
in a minute, Junior.
-What up, boy?
-What up?
was supposed to pick me up.
Yeah, he was.
I'm trying to find him now.
What happened
to your face, Junior?
Some boy tried to punk me.
-You beat his ass?
-Yeah.
All right, then,
get in the car.
What did I tell you
about fighting, Junior?
when you grow up. You hear me?
Yeah.
Will you ever learn?
I'm happy to see you, though.
Oh, man! Cool!
Give me that.
Add that to your collection.
Hey. Hey, look, Dad.
Yeah. Talented horse.
Dad?
Yeah.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah. What's up?
When I was standing back there
in the schoolyard, I was thinking
if nobody came back for me,
what would happen?
I'll always come back for you.
Pinky promise?
Pinky promise.
-Dad?
-Yeah.
Can I have some ice cream?
Yeah. We can get you
some ice cream.
Yes.
-Got to stop by my job first.
-Okay.
En vivo y directo
from the West Coast, baby,
you know me, Julio G,
in your ear hole once again.
I'm glad y'all
are tuned in, man.
We got a lot of music
coming your way today.
Y'all wanna hear something,
just hit us up, man.
Phone lines are wide open.
You know how to do it, man.
What're you doing, man?
-What?
-Never put your hands on a gun.
What are you thinking about?
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I should have never put it there anyway.
That's yours?
No, it's not mine. I got it from my job.
I'm supposed to take it back.
Don't matter, though.
Don't ever play with a gun!
Okay.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Knucklehead. Crazy, man.
We have
Yes, a very, very special guest
on the line.
He is a distinguished author
and scholar,
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson.
What's up, Dr. Dyson?
Thank you so much
for having me on the show.
It's so good to have you here.
I think it's very necessary for us
as a community to organize our dissent
against this animal,
this beast,
that has infested us
in a negative fashion.
These drugs have
undermined us.
What we call the
political economy of crack
really devastated us.
And now, on top of that,
drug gangs.
Gangs that are involved
in the business of distributing...
How you doing, brother?
I think that you would
look really good in this one.
What you think?
No, I'm cool.
It's on special.
Yeah, I'm straight.
Come on, now.
Help a sister out.
Move, b*tch!
Yo, man, I got places to go, man!
Move!
Yo! Drive!
Yo, put this motherf***er
in park, nigga!
You know what the f*** this is?
What the f*** are you doing?
Come on, man!
Get the f*** out of this car!
My son, man...
Get the f*** up out this car, nigga!
Junior!
Hey, man!

Where did they take the car?
I don't know!
B*tch, if you don't start talking,
-in your motherfucking mouth!
-I don't know!
-I didn't have anything to do with it!
-You know something.
Get that f***ing gun
out of my face.
I want my son back.
I want my son!
-One, two...
-All right!
All right. I just heard about the guy
they supposed to be selling the cars to.
Where is he?
Where?
On 96th Street.
-Let's go.
-Wait!
-Let's go!
-I can't!
Wait, wait. All right.
Can I please just get my sh*t first?
Hey! That's my sh*t!
Hey! You motherf***er!
Come on, let's go! Let's go!
