“Deja vu, 2004. Me and Timmy Hayes, we brought the community down here because they were shutting the basketball courts down. They were shutting that key down. And we said, once you shut those programs down, all hell's gonna break loose. And if you look at the police statistics after 2004, after they shut that program, that's key down. The kids didn't have nothing to do. positive, so I understand. I understand we're going through that again. And this is like a whole community. We survived off of basketball, off of soccer.

So we need to have these conversations because that's public man. So we had people come here and pay $75 and charging our residents to a show. So we have to have these audits. So I know there are Policies already in place, but what is the policy we need to be specific about these policies? Of course now we got our kids here who have to pay to do our name, but we got people who come in here and use the permit and for $75 in…”
“We feel needs to be on the corner where the schools that not on barrack homes.

“And then- Is there a trial? Is there going to be a trial? Well, there's no trial.”
“In the meantime, this officer is still working with our children in our community.”
“That's what I'm saying. If one of our kids kill a cop, they will not be on the streets the next day.”
“That's what I'm asking. Because I got the phone call that our community wants to know.”
“Council Member Shakur. yes um now sitting here thinking about it um we have enough cameras with access to the doors that and entrances and exits because thinking about putting in offices or space where people interact, where will we put them next? You know, I don't want to start that precedent right now where we, you know, people feel like they're, but as long as we can see the surrounding outside stuff, I mean, we need cameras so stuff will be, but I know I don't want no camera in my office or”

“Yes, so thank you for taking over during a transitional phase that's going on in the executive office and with George leaving. My question was on the follow-up with the mayor was saying about the former incarcerated and stuff like that. Also, we have a lot of young men that don't want to become incarcerated. And so I know there's three young men I have sent down there to HR. And the problem has been they applied for sanitation jobs, but they were told they need licenses. So I don't know what was going on, because I've been trying to get the HR. I'm just trying to find out. Because like you…”
