00:01:05,287 --> 00:01:07,821
(tires squeal)
5
00:01:19,101 --> 00:01:20,867
- Kuj, Kujichagu--
6
00:01:20,869 --> 00:01:22,469
- That time again, huh?
7
00:01:22,471 --> 00:01:23,403

00:01:33,582 --> 00:01:34,514
Umoja.
10
00:01:36,118 --> 00:01:38,384
- To strive for and
maintain unity
11
00:01:38,386 --> 00:01:42,355
in the family, community,
nation, and race.
12
00:01:42,357 --> 00:01:45,758
- Kujishu, Kujichacalia,
Kujichagulia.
13
00:01:49,698 --> 00:01:51,598
- [Freddie] To define ourselves,
create
14
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,434
for ourselves and speak
for ourselves.
15
00:01:54,436 --> 00:01:59,506
- Ujima, these values are
called the Nguzu Saba,
16
00:02:01,309 --> 00:02:05,378
which in Swahili means
the Seven Principles.
17
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:08,748
Developed by Dr. Karenga,
the Nguzu Saba stands
18
00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:12,585
at the heart of the
origin and meaning of...
19
00:02:15,357 --> 00:02:16,556
- [Group] Kwanzaa.
20
00:02:16,558 --> 00:02:19,225
- For it is these values
which are not only
21
00:02:19,227 --> 00:02:20,827
the building blocks
of community,
22
00:02:20,829 --> 00:02:24,297
but also spiritual rejuvenation.
23
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,333
Come on now, rejuvenation.
24
00:02:28,170 --> 00:02:28,835
Hum something.
25
00:02:28,837 --> 00:02:29,869
Come on, hum.
26
00:02:29,871 --> 00:02:32,472
(group hums)
27
00:02:35,644 --> 00:02:38,811
- Yo, that is way too much
work for a made up holiday.
28
00:02:38,813 --> 00:02:40,847
What is wrong with a
pine tree and a fat man?
29
00:02:40,849 --> 00:02:42,916
- You know that
shit's made up too.
30
00:02:42,918 --> 00:02:44,217
- Kai don't care as
long as there's
31
00:02:44,219 --> 00:02:45,518
a man giving her something.
32
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,453
- Long as it's long baby.
33
00:02:49,491 --> 00:02:51,624
- All right, so let's get ghost
34
00:02:51,626 --> 00:02:53,459
before aunt Gwen
changes her mind.
35
00:02:57,732 --> 00:03:00,066
What?
36
00:03:00,067 --> 00:03:02,401
Come on, y'all, you
know this is my steelo.
37
00:03:03,572 --> 00:03:05,471
And plus we ain't got
time for me to change.
38
00:03:05,473 --> 00:03:08,641
And plus, I make this
shit look good.
39
00:03:11,246 --> 00:03:11,978
- Yep.
40
00:03:13,848 --> 00:03:18,284
Bam, you will change in the car.
41
00:03:18,286 --> 00:03:19,319
- [Roni] But what about this?
42
00:03:19,321 --> 00:03:20,137
What's--
43
00:03:20,138 --> 00:03:20,954
- Oh, no, no, she
can't help that.
44
00:03:20,956 --> 00:03:22,655
She was born that way.
45
00:03:22,657 --> 00:03:23,690
- Let's go hoes.
46
00:03:25,493 --> 00:03:26,442
- [Kai] That's your cousin.
47
00:03:26,443 --> 00:03:27,392
- No, see, that's your friend.
48
00:03:27,395 --> 00:03:28,761
See I didn't have no choice.
49
00:03:30,632 --> 00:03:32,999
I thought we were going
clubbing not thugging.
50
00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:36,636
- It's LA, you know
what they say.
51
00:03:36,638 --> 00:03:37,670
Let's go hoes.
52
00:03:43,311 --> 00:03:45,945
- [Kai] All right My-E, yes.
53
00:03:45,947 --> 00:03:46,879
- Okay now.
54
00:03:47,849 --> 00:03:49,949
- Puff, puff, pass, boo,
thank you.
55
00:03:50,852 --> 00:03:53,886
- 'Kay, sharing is caring.
56
00:03:55,590 --> 00:03:56,556
Excuse me.
57
00:03:56,558 --> 00:03:59,626
- Guess who's been designated.
58
00:03:59,628 --> 00:04:01,594
(women laugh)
59
00:04:01,596 --> 00:04:02,462
- Dang.
60
00:04:02,464 --> 00:04:03,396
- [Kai] Regulated.
61
00:04:07,902 --> 00:04:11,371
(upbeat hip hop plays)
62
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:13,740
- What you got?
63
00:04:13,742 --> 00:04:14,741
- Check it.
64
00:04:14,743 --> 00:04:16,976
¶ See they call me My-E ¶
65
00:04:16,978 --> 00:04:19,579

76
00:04:47,709 --> 00:04:49,575
- [Roni] Whoa.
77
00:04:49,577 --> 00:04:50,843
- [Kai] Oh man.
78
00:05:06,661 --> 00:05:08,995
- I know Aunt Gwen got AAA.
79
00:05:08,997 --> 00:05:10,730
- It ain't going to be in there.
80
00:05:15,937 --> 00:05:17,570
Nope.
81
00:05:17,572 --> 00:05:18,438
- Come on, cuz.
82
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,372
- Nope.
83
00:05:22,344 --> 00:05:25,111
- Fine, I'll do
everything my damn self.
84
00:05:32,487 --> 00:05:34,821
No, Aunt Gwen, we
didn't hit anything.
85
00:05:36,024 --> 00:05:37,890
Well of course we were doing 65.
86
00:05:38,893 --> 00:05:41,094
Yeah, it just went flat.
87
00:05:42,931 --> 00:05:44,831
I know, we're going
to pay for it.
88
00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,568
No, no jack.
89
00:05:50,872 --> 00:05:52,739
Okay, see you.
90
00:05:54,743 --> 00:05:56,109
- [Homeless Man] Hey.
91
00:05:56,111 --> 00:05:57,844
- Fool, you don't know me.
92
00:05:57,846 --> 00:06:02,682
- Know there was a dozen, two
Jameses, Thomas, Thaddeus.
93
00:06:02,684 --> 00:06:03,616
Persecution.
94
00:06:03,618 --> 00:06:04,584
- You need to back up.
95
00:06:04,586 --> 00:06:05,785
- All got a story.
96
00:06:05,787 --> 00:06:07,854
- Get off, get off of me.
97
00:06:07,856 --> 00:06:09,122

(thudding)

00:06:16,965 --> 00:06:19,031
- Who the hell was that?
104
00:06:25,573 --> 00:06:28,174
(window knocks)
105
00:06:30,578 --> 00:06:31,544
- Hey, what's up?
106
00:06:33,915 --> 00:06:36,182
- Aunt Gwen got the
card at home.
107
00:06:36,184 --> 00:06:37,583
She's calling AAA, telling them
108
00:06:37,585 --> 00:06:39,051
where to find us and all that.
109
00:06:40,655 --> 00:06:42,121
- How long's it going to take?
110
00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:45,425
- [Kai] Long enough, excuse me.
111
00:06:48,596 --> 00:06:50,096
Hi.
112
00:06:50,098 --> 00:06:50,963
- How you doing?
113
00:06:50,965 --> 00:06:51,831
What's up?
114
00:06:51,833 --> 00:06:52,465
- What's your name?
115
00:06:52,467 --> 00:06:54,250
- Kev.
116
00:06:54,251 --> 00:06:56,034
- Is she trying to help
us or herself?
117
00:07:01,009 --> 00:07:02,475
That's your friend.
118
00:07:02,476 --> 00:07:03,942
- Roni, please make
sure that fool
119
00:07:03,945 --> 00:07:06,646
doesn't end up in his
trunk or something.
120
00:07:06,648 --> 00:07:07,780
- All right, come on.
121
00:07:08,817 --> 00:07:12,652
- Nah, I'm straight, I'm
gonna stay here.
122
00:07:12,654 --> 00:07:13,586
- You sure?
123
00:07:15,790 --> 00:07:17,723
- Yeah, I'm sure.
124
00:07:24,232 --> 00:07:27,099

125
00:07:36,644 --> 00:07:39,111
(window raps)
126
00:07:44,052 --> 00:07:47,820
- [Kai] Yep, she out like Shout.
127
00:07:47,822 --> 00:07:50,189
- [Roni] Damn, this night.
128
00:07:50,191 --> 00:07:51,190
Now what?
129
00:07:54,162 --> 00:07:55,862

134
00:08:36,771 --> 00:08:39,071
- Ever have one of those dreams,

00:08:41,576 --> 00:08:44,043
where nothing comes out
when you try to scream?
136
00:08:47,882 --> 00:08:48,814
Scream.
137
00:08:51,786 --> 00:08:52,718
Scream.

See what I mean?

Christmas was three days ago.

Jingle Bells and ho, ho, ho.
161
00:12:24,132 --> 00:12:27,366
Just so you know,
this ain't gonna

166
00:12:43,351 --> 00:12:48,187
Today's December 28th,
third day of Kwanzaa, Ujima,
167
00:12:49,223 --> 00:12:51,257
to build and maintain
our community
168
00:12:51,259 --> 00:12:54,560
together and to make our
brothers' and sisters' problems
169
00:12:54,562 --> 00:12:58,364
our problems and to
solve 'em together.
170
00:12:58,366 --> 00:12:59,932
I know you didn't know.
171
00:12:59,934 --> 00:13:01,484
I didn't know until
Uncle Darnell
172
00:13:01,485 --> 00:13:03,035
told me so during one of
his blackouts.
173
00:13:04,038 --> 00:13:07,540
Oh, no, not that kind
of blackout.
174
00:13:07,542 --> 00:13:09,208
That's just what we
call it when Uncle D has
175
00:13:09,210 --> 00:13:12,411
one of his moments and is
compelled to bust you out
176
00:13:12,413 --> 00:13:14,580
because of your lack
of blackness.
177
00:13:14,582 --> 00:13:15,981
You'll see what I mean.
178
00:13:27,128 --> 00:13:31,130
It's Ujima, though, Umoja,
Kujichagulia, Ujima.
179
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:33,833
So.
180

183
00:13:41,843 --> 00:13:45,444
¶ Rolling to LA though,
tired of Club Metro ¶
184
00:13:45,446 --> 00:13:49,281
- Oh, for those of you
who don't know me,
185
00:13:49,283 --> 00:13:52,051
see, I was born and
raised in the IE.
186
00:13:53,921 --> 00:13:55,888
That's the Inland Empire,
the IE,
187
00:13:56,924 --> 00:13:58,891
60 miles east of the
City of Angels.
188
00:14:00,027 --> 00:14:04,463
¶ So, me, Kai, and my
cousin Roni, ¶
189
00:14:04,465 --> 00:14:06,298
¶ Dying to get our party on ¶
190
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:10,135
¶ Rolling to LA though,
tired of Club Metro. ¶
191
00:14:10,137 --> 00:14:14,139
Four dance floors of hip-hop,
reggae,
192
00:14:14,141 --> 00:14:17,409
and rock in Espanol and retro.
193
00:14:17,411 --> 00:14:21,413
So, the Sentra starts to
rattle and pull to the right.
194
00:14:21,415 --> 00:14:24,884
- I cannot believe we got a
flat in the middle of the night.
195
00:14:24,886 --> 00:14:26,986
- Not tonight.
196
00:14:28,489 --> 00:14:31,624
- Okay, just let me get
the facts, folks.
197
00:14:34,328 --> 00:14:37,897
What is the deal with
automobiles and my black folks?
198
00:14:37,899 --> 00:14:40,400
For real?
199
00:14:40,401 --> 00:14:42,902
And the fact that your
spare is always flat, folks?
200
00:14:42,904 --> 00:14:43,636
For real?
201
00:14:46,607 --> 00:14:50,676
And don't get me started
on a working jack, folks.
202
00:14:50,678 --> 00:14:52,144
My black folks.
203
00:14:53,214 --> 00:14:56,482
So, I wind up in a fix at
the Spirit of 76
204
00:14:56,484 --> 00:14:58,350
that sits on Central
and Brockton,
205
00:15:02,223 --> 00:15:05,357
gat in my lap in case
I rocked on.
206
00:15:06,627 --> 00:15:09,295
One in the morning sitting
in my Aunt Gwen's ride.
207
00:15:10,698 --> 00:15:13,933
I can't leave Aunt Gwen's
Sentra sitting on Central.
208
00:15:13,935 --> 00:15:18,304
If it gets stolen, scratched,
towed, or broken into, soon as
209
00:15:18,306 --> 00:15:20,639
I see her, I'm going to be
the one to get broken in two.
210
00:15:20,641 --> 00:15:23,108
Aunt Gwen gonna to kill me.
211
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:24,043
- Yi-ah!
212
00:15:26,447 --> 00:15:29,048
(crowd cheers)
213
00:15:29,050 --> 00:15:33,385
- Well, maybe not kill,
but I sure ain't going
214
00:15:33,387 --> 00:15:35,354
to be rolling in the
Sentra no more.
215
00:15:35,356 --> 00:15:36,322
Feel?
216
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,636
Ever have one of those
dreams, where nothing
217
00:15:50,638 --> 00:15:52,438
comes out when you
try to scream?
218
00:15:54,041 --> 00:15:54,740
(window taps)
219
00:15:54,742 --> 00:15:55,741
Tap.
220
00:15:57,144 --> 00:16:00,612
So I'm sitting in the
Sentra on Central sensing
221
00:16:00,614 --> 00:16:03,615
something sounding like
rapping, like tapping, like-
222
00:16:04,685 --> 00:16:07,286
(beatboxing)
223
00:16:09,423 --> 00:16:14,193
¶ Who's that peeping in my ¶
224
00:16:14,195 --> 00:16:17,296
¶ Nobody now ¶
225
00:16:17,298 --> 00:16:18,263
- Tap.
226
00:16:18,265 --> 00:16:19,732
(window taps)
227
00:16:19,734 --> 00:16:21,266
I hear that tapping again.
228
00:16:24,705 --> 00:16:27,406
Oh cool, it's Roni.
229
00:16:27,408 --> 00:16:29,074
Well, let me let you in, girl.
230
00:16:30,111 --> 00:16:32,762
Where you been?
231
00:16:32,763 --> 00:16:35,414
I'm lonely, got me sitting
in the station in the middle
232
00:16:35,416 --> 00:16:38,517
of the night, one in the
morning, losing patience.
233
00:16:40,388 --> 00:16:45,157
Something, something
just ain't right.
234
00:16:47,595 --> 00:16:50,095
(window bangs)
235
00:16:50,097 --> 00:16:52,031
(window taps)
236
00:16:52,033 --> 00:16:55,134
Now before you trip, let me
237
00:16:55,136 --> 00:16:58,270
go on and admit that
I'm strapped.
238
00:16:58,272 --> 00:16:59,405
Yeah, that's right.
239
00:17:00,775 --> 00:17:05,377
I'm strapped with my gat,
at Central and Brockton.
240
00:17:05,379 --> 00:17:07,746
38 in my lap, case I
get rocked on.
241
00:17:08,783 --> 00:17:12,117
Yo, that's nice.
242
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,286
¶ So I'm strapped with my
gat at Central and Brockton ¶
243
00:17:14,288 --> 00:17:16,622
¶ 38 in my lap, case I
get rocked on ¶
244
00:17:16,624 --> 00:17:18,791
¶ Late at night in my lap
there it sat ¶
245
00:17:18,793 --> 00:17:21,260
¶ There I sat, there I sat ¶
246
00:17:21,262 --> 00:17:23,796
¶ There I sat, took a nap. ¶
247
00:17:23,798 --> 00:17:26,098
¶ Rat-a-tat-tat-ta-ta. ¶
248
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:27,800
(window taps)
249
00:17:27,802 --> 00:17:28,734
Tap.
250
00:17:30,805 --> 00:17:31,737
Tap.
251
00:17:33,474 --> 00:17:34,406
Tap.
252
00:17:36,377 --> 00:17:40,312
I put the gat in my lap 'cause
I was a little terrified.
253
00:17:42,450 --> 00:17:44,450
Tapping on the window.
254
00:17:46,220 --> 00:17:50,656
Cousin Roni outside, so I say,
255
00:17:50,658 --> 00:17:53,659
"Hold on cuz, let me
let you in."
256
00:17:57,698 --> 00:18:00,499
Before I can, here comes
that damn dream again.
257
00:18:02,136 --> 00:18:05,704
First, I can't holler,
now I can't even move.
258
00:18:05,706 --> 00:18:09,174
Try to open the door,
but I can't even move.
259
00:18:09,176 --> 00:18:11,577
Can't take this much more
'cause I can't even move.
260
00:18:11,579 --> 00:18:14,513
Feel like a prisoner of
war and I can't even move.
261
00:18:15,349 --> 00:18:16,348
Can't move.
262
00:18:17,651 --> 00:18:18,650
Can't move.
263
00:18:20,221 --> 00:18:21,220
Can't move.
264
00:18:22,423 --> 00:18:23,422
Can't move.
265
00:18:24,859 --> 00:18:29,695
First, I can't holler and
now I can't even move.
266
00:18:29,697 --> 00:18:33,132
If you dreaming, Myeisha
girl, wake up now, fool.
267
00:18:34,735 --> 00:18:37,870
(otherworldly music)
268
00:18:43,644 --> 00:18:47,646
Roni, who you calling
this late on a pay phone?
269
00:18:47,648 --> 00:18:50,449
You better come on so we
can get on and head on home.
270
00:18:51,552 --> 00:18:54,219
(window raps)
271
00:19:01,662 --> 00:19:02,728
Where you going to?
272
00:19:03,631 --> 00:19:05,297
Where the heck you been?
273
00:19:05,299 --> 00:19:06,698
I'm opening the door.
274
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,635
At least, I'm trying to.
275
00:19:09,637 --> 00:19:10,602
Let me let you in.
276
00:19:11,939 --> 00:19:14,339
I know you ready to go home,
girl.
277
00:19:14,341 --> 00:19:15,507
I'm dying to.
278
00:19:17,811 --> 00:19:19,878
We'll just explain it
all to Aunt Gwen.
279
00:19:21,315 --> 00:19:23,515
You could just explain
it all to Aunt Gwen.
280
00:19:24,552 --> 00:19:26,518
I'll just explain it
all to Aunt Gwen.
281
00:19:27,721 --> 00:19:30,222
We ain't fixing no flat
tonight, forget that.
282
00:19:31,392 --> 00:19:33,458
Aunt Gwen's just going
to have to get black.
283
00:19:34,662 --> 00:19:37,596
We ain't fixing no flat
tonight, forget that.
284
00:19:37,598 --> 00:19:39,932
Aunt Gwen's just going
to have to get black.
285
00:19:39,934 --> 00:19:41,333
(screeching)
286
00:19:41,335 --> 00:19:43,735
(beatboxing)
287
00:19:45,339 --> 00:19:46,538
¶ 911, the jokes on you ¶
288
00:19:46,540 --> 00:19:49,108
- 911.
289
00:19:49,109 --> 00:19:51,677
- Yes, could you guys come
down to Central and Brockton
290
00:19:51,679 --> 00:19:55,914
to the 76 gas station
because my cousin is in a car
291
00:19:55,916 --> 00:19:57,950
and she has a gun on her,
but she's passed out.
292
00:19:57,952 --> 00:19:59,785
We can't get in the
car 'cause it's locked.
293
00:19:59,787 --> 00:20:00,786
- Okay, who's inside the car?
294
00:20:00,788 --> 00:20:02,733
- My cousin.
295
00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:04,679
- And she has a gun with her?
296
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,625
- Yes, it's in her lap,
and she's passed out.
297
00:20:06,627 --> 00:20:07,459
- She's passed out?
298
00:20:07,461 --> 00:20:08,738
- She's passed out.
299
00:20:08,739 --> 00:20:10,016
- She's been drinking?
300
00:20:10,017 --> 00:20:11,294
- I don't know, we
just came to--
301
00:20:11,298 --> 00:20:12,598
- Do you think she shot herself?
302
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,366
- Yeah, she has a flat,
I don't know.
303
00:20:14,368 --> 00:20:15,801
- Okay, what kind of
car is she in?
304
00:20:15,803 --> 00:20:16,935
- It's a Nissan Sentra.
305
00:20:16,937 --> 00:20:18,837
- Hold on, what color?
306
00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:19,922
- White.
307
00:20:19,923 --> 00:20:21,006
- So she's in the
car by herself?
308
00:20:21,008 --> 00:20:22,508
- By herself.
309
00:20:22,509 --> 00:20:24,009
- Have you tried to
bang on the doors?
310
00:20:24,010 --> 00:20:25,510
- Yeah, we banged on the
windows and everything.
311
00:20:25,512 --> 00:20:27,946
She's passed out, we
cannot get her to wake up.
312
00:20:27,948 --> 00:20:29,781
The music's loud, so we
can't do nothing.
313
00:20:29,783 --> 00:20:30,983
- Okay, I'm going to keep
you on the phone
314
00:20:30,985 --> 00:20:33,352
until the officers are on
their way, okay?
315
00:20:37,725 --> 00:20:41,493
- On December 28th, 1998, I
was working the graveyard shift
316
00:20:41,495 --> 00:20:43,629
when I received a call
from RPD dispatch
317
00:20:43,631 --> 00:20:46,665
at approximately 01:55
hours assigning me
318
00:20:46,667 --> 00:20:49,534
to proceed to the point
of origin of a 911 call,
319
00:20:49,536 --> 00:20:52,271
which was Baines 76
Unocal gas station,
320
00:20:52,273 --> 00:20:56,508
located at 6575 Brockton Avenue
in the city of Riverside.
321
00:20:56,510 --> 00:20:59,011
The call conveyed that there
was an unresponsive female
322
00:20:59,013 --> 00:21:00,612
locked in a white Nissan Sentra
323
00:21:00,614 --> 00:21:02,681
with a visible
firearm on her lap.
324
00:21:02,683 --> 00:21:04,816
¶ So I'm strapped with my
gat at Central and Brockton ¶
325
00:21:04,818 --> 00:21:07,319
¶ 38 in my lap, case I
get rocked on. ¶
326
00:21:07,321 --> 00:21:10,589
- At approximately 02:00
hours, I arrived on the scene.
327
00:21:10,591 --> 00:21:12,557
When I spoke with the two
females who were standing
328
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:14,359
on the north side of the
gas station's premises
329
00:21:14,361 --> 00:21:16,695
next to the pay phone,
the two females advised me
330
00:21:16,697 --> 00:21:19,064
that the female in the locked
vehicle was a family member.
331
00:21:19,066 --> 00:21:20,666
She appeared to be unconscious
332
00:21:20,668 --> 00:21:22,501
and had a loaded
firearm on her lap.
333
00:21:22,503 --> 00:21:24,736
I saw that the two
females were very upset.
334
00:21:24,738 --> 00:21:27,839
- She been, I'm sorry, has
she been drinking today?
335
00:21:27,841 --> 00:21:30,075
- I don't, I don't know.
336
00:21:30,077 --> 00:21:30,776
That's what I'm telling you.
337
00:21:30,778 --> 00:21:32,711
I don't know.
338
00:21:32,712 --> 00:21:34,645
She had a flat tire and
she called the house
339
00:21:34,648 --> 00:21:36,815
so she could get the tire fixed,
340
00:21:36,817 --> 00:21:39,518
but we found her like
this, so we don't know.
341
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,752
- Uh-huh, you don't know
what's going on?
342
00:21:40,754 --> 00:21:42,154
- Uh-uh.
343
00:21:42,155 --> 00:21:43,555
- Based on the demeanor
and the occupant's
344
00:21:43,557 --> 00:21:45,657
non-responsiveness to her
family members,
345
00:21:45,659 --> 00:21:47,859
I believed that the vehicle's
occupant was necessarily
346
00:21:47,861 --> 00:21:49,661
in some sort of
medical distress,
347
00:21:49,663 --> 00:21:51,596
especially because her
family members
348
00:21:51,598 --> 00:21:52,864
did not know what was
wrong with her.
349
00:21:52,866 --> 00:21:55,934
- How long ago did she,
did you talk to her?
350
00:21:55,936 --> 00:21:59,671
- That was like 20 or
30 minutes ago.
351
00:21:59,673 --> 00:22:03,408
Can you guys, can you guys
bring an ambulance with you?
352
00:22:04,845 --> 00:22:08,113
- Yeah, since we don't actually
know what's wrong with her,
353
00:22:08,115 --> 00:22:10,482
and the gun, you can
just see the gun?
354
00:22:10,484 --> 00:22:11,850
- Yeah, it's in her lap.
355
00:22:11,852 --> 00:22:12,851
- It's sitting in her lap?
356
00:22:12,852 --> 00:22:13,851
- Uh-huh.
357
00:22:13,852 --> 00:22:14,851
- Okay, and she's the
only one in the vehicle?
358
00:22:14,855 --> 00:22:15,721
- Yes.
359
00:22:15,723 --> 00:22:16,655
- What is her name?
360
00:22:17,891 --> 00:22:20,726
- My name is Myeisha.
361
00:22:20,728 --> 00:22:24,629
Y'all know us Ishas: Myeisha,
Moisha,
362
00:22:24,631 --> 00:22:25,931
Ayish, Loisha, Lacrisha,
Tanisha, Tyisha.
363
00:22:27,735 --> 00:22:29,868
We the Ishas, we the first
cousins to the Awnas.
364
00:22:31,805 --> 00:22:34,373
Y'all know the Awnas: Loawna,
365
00:22:34,375 --> 00:22:36,942
Tiana, Showana, Jowanna, Tawana.
366
00:22:38,145 --> 00:22:39,010
(dialpad beeps)
367
00:22:39,012 --> 00:22:39,878
- How old is she?
368
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:40,679
- She's 19.
369
00:22:40,681 --> 00:22:42,081
- 19-years-old?
370
00:22:42,082 --> 00:22:43,482
- Uh-huh.
371
00:22:43,483 --> 00:22:44,883
- Okay, and the car's just
parked in a parking lot?
372
00:22:44,885 --> 00:22:46,118
- Yeah, at the gas station.
373
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:48,887
(siren whirs)
374
00:22:48,889 --> 00:22:50,622
- As I finished speaking
with the two witnesses,
375
00:22:50,624 --> 00:22:52,657
Officer Hobart arrived
on the scene.
376
00:22:52,659 --> 00:22:55,394
I informed Officer Hobart
that the vehicle's occupant
377
00:22:55,396 --> 00:22:57,562
was apparently
unconscious and had a gun.
378
00:22:57,564 --> 00:22:59,998
Because the occupant had a
gun, I knew that we would have
379
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,967
to secure the area to
make it safe
380
00:23:01,969 --> 00:23:03,535
for emergency medical personnel
381
00:23:03,537 --> 00:23:05,871
to render any aid the
occupant required.
382
00:23:05,873 --> 00:23:09,174
- How far is the, the
police station from here?
383
00:23:09,176 --> 00:23:10,942
- Well, they're just,
they're in the city
384
00:23:10,944 --> 00:23:13,979
just driving around, but
they're on their way there.
385
00:23:13,981 --> 00:23:15,714
- Officer Hobart and I
approached the vehicle
386
00:23:15,716 --> 00:23:17,182
with our guns drawn and
pointed downward.
387
00:23:17,184 --> 00:23:18,550
- Oh.
388
00:23:18,551 --> 00:23:19,917
- They don't sit at a
police station waiting.
389
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,421
- Okay, here, I see a
police officer.
390
00:23:22,423 --> 00:23:23,155
They found us right now.
391
00:23:23,156 --> 00:23:23,888
There's a police car right now.
392
00:23:23,891 --> 00:23:25,224
- Hey.
393
00:23:25,225 --> 00:23:26,558
- Officer Hobart
approached the vehicle
394
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:27,892
along the passenger
side rear door
395
00:23:27,895 --> 00:23:29,928
as I approached along
the driver's side door.
396
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:32,431
From my position behind the
driver's side rear door,
397
00:23:32,433 --> 00:23:34,199
I could see the occupant's gun
398
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,966
on her lap pointed
towards the driver's door.
399
00:23:35,969 --> 00:23:37,068
- Okay, if they're coming--
400
00:23:37,070 --> 00:23:38,270
- In the drive--
401
00:23:38,271 --> 00:23:39,471
- The weapon was
readily accessible.
402
00:23:39,473 --> 00:23:40,689
- They're coming toward you?
403
00:23:40,690 --> 00:23:41,906
- After Officer Hobart
and I verified
404
00:23:41,909 --> 00:23:42,674
the occupant had a gun--
405
00:23:42,676 --> 00:23:44,142
- Yes.
406
00:23:44,143 --> 00:23:45,609
- I held my position until
backup arrived.
407
00:23:45,612 --> 00:23:46,778
- Why don't you go talk to them?
408
00:23:46,780 --> 00:23:48,213
- Okay, thank you.
409
00:23:54,988 --> 00:23:58,089
- Soon as I hear the cops'
sirens, the first thing
410
00:23:58,091 --> 00:24:03,161
that pop into my mind, "Man,
I wish I was a white girl."
411
00:24:07,167 --> 00:24:10,135
- Actually, cops kill more
white people than black.
412
00:24:11,972 --> 00:24:14,005
- Or at least a little
lighter than I am.
413
00:24:15,042 --> 00:24:18,076
And not white in the, "I
can flip my hair
414
00:24:18,078 --> 00:24:22,581
and I got blue eyes,"
kind of way, but in a,
415
00:24:22,583 --> 00:24:26,084
"Officer, can you help
me out?", kind of way.
416
00:24:27,087 --> 00:24:30,789
In the, "Young lady,
are you okay?
417
00:24:30,791 --> 00:24:33,758
You look distressed,"
kind of way.
418
00:24:34,695 --> 00:24:37,229
In the, "Are you okay?
419
00:24:37,231 --> 00:24:38,964
You need a ride?
420
00:24:38,966 --> 00:24:44,035
You look lost," kind
of way, but not today.
421
00:24:46,707 --> 00:24:51,710
Tonight, my name is
Myeisha, and I'm black.
422
00:24:53,046 --> 00:24:55,180
Might have had a
little to drink.
423
00:24:55,182 --> 00:24:59,551
Those are just the facts,
but even still with all that,
424
00:24:59,553 --> 00:25:01,186
I figure I should still
be all right.
425
00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:06,758
I mean, if Roni couldn't hear
me, I must be asleep, right?
426
00:25:08,161 --> 00:25:11,763
And if I'm sleeping, I'm
dreaming
so it must be deep, right?
427
00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:17,903
If I'm deep asleep, the police
will just wake me up, right?
428
00:25:19,206 --> 00:25:22,741
Show some care, help me
find a spare,
429
00:25:23,877 --> 00:25:25,677
even help jack me up, right?
430
00:25:27,614 --> 00:25:32,684
To protect and to serve written
in black and white, right?
431
00:25:34,187 --> 00:25:36,855
- I observed that the occupant
was in dire medical distress
432
00:25:36,857 --> 00:25:39,157
and in need of immediate
medical assistance.
433
00:25:39,159 --> 00:25:42,060
I observed that the occupant's
mouth was slightly open.
434
00:25:42,062 --> 00:25:43,194
Her eyes were closed.
435
00:25:43,196 --> 00:25:44,195
Her breathing appeared shallow.
436
00:25:44,197 --> 00:25:46,114
Her lips were quivering.
437
00:25:46,115 --> 00:25:48,032
Her body was shaking, and
there was a white substance
438
00:25:48,035 --> 00:25:50,302
that was accumulating around
the sides of her mouth.
439
00:25:50,304 --> 00:25:52,871
Based on my prior experience
with persons overdosing
440
00:25:52,873 --> 00:25:55,607
on drugs, I believed Jackson
was experiencing symptoms
441
00:25:55,609 --> 00:25:57,842
which were consistent
with drug overdose.
442
00:25:57,844 --> 00:25:59,978
Believing that time was
of the essence, I thought
443
00:25:59,980 --> 00:26:02,113
that we should use the
quickest means available
444
00:26:02,115 --> 00:26:04,316
to remove the gun from her
presence to make it safe
445
00:26:04,318 --> 00:26:07,586
for emergency personnel to
render the necessary aid.
446
00:26:07,588 --> 00:26:10,288
I would attempt to break the
window and retrieve the gun.
447
00:26:10,290 --> 00:26:12,591
¶ So I'm strapped with my
gat at Central and Brockton ¶
448
00:26:12,593 --> 00:26:15,193
¶ 38 in my lap, case I
get rocked on. ¶
449
00:26:15,195 --> 00:26:17,295
- After verifying that all
the officers were in position,
450
00:26:17,297 --> 00:26:19,130
I performed a silent
three count.
451
00:26:19,132 --> 00:26:21,032
I then broke the window
on my first attempt
452
00:26:21,034 --> 00:26:22,601
using the ASP baton.
453
00:26:22,603 --> 00:26:25,136
I then dropped the baton
and leaned to tuck my body
454
00:26:25,138 --> 00:26:27,772
into the front window and
grab the occupant's gun.
455
00:26:27,774 --> 00:26:29,708
As I reached into
retrieve the weapon,
456
00:26:29,710 --> 00:26:31,176
I heard a boom, which I believed
457
00:26:31,178 --> 00:26:33,712
to be a gun blast going
towards my right ear.
458
00:26:33,714 --> 00:26:35,847
¶ So I'm strapped with my
gat at Central and Brockton ¶
459
00:26:35,849 --> 00:26:38,817
¶ 38 in my lap, case I
get rocked on ¶
460
00:26:38,819 --> 00:26:41,820
- Once inside the vehicle, I
could no longer see the weapon.
461
00:26:41,822 --> 00:26:43,088
I thought that the
vehicle's occupant
462
00:26:43,090 --> 00:26:44,856
had grabbed her gun and shot me.
463
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:48,226
(tape rewinding)
464
00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:49,961
Once inside the vehicle,
I heard (beep),
465
00:26:49,963 --> 00:26:52,030
which I believed to
be a gun blast.
466
00:26:52,032 --> 00:26:53,932
(tape rewinding)
467
00:26:53,934 --> 00:26:56,101
Once inside the vehicle,
I heard (beep),
468
00:26:56,103 --> 00:26:57,469
which I believed to
be a gun blast.
469
00:26:57,470 --> 00:26:58,836
Once inside the
vehicle I heard...
470
00:27:02,843 --> 00:27:07,912
¶ Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you ¶
471
00:27:11,652 --> 00:27:16,688
¶ Happy birthday, Mr. Officer,
happy birthday to you ¶
472
00:27:23,130 --> 00:27:25,930
Officer Garland, the
one on the floor,
473
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,433
it's his birthday today.
474
00:27:28,435 --> 00:27:30,101
He's turning 24.
475
00:27:30,103 --> 00:27:33,171
(celebratory music)
476
00:27:39,813 --> 00:27:42,414
Yo, wait, December 28th.
477
00:27:43,717 --> 00:27:45,817
That would make the
officer a Capricorn.
478
00:27:48,155 --> 00:27:51,823
Capricorns are supposed to
be practical and prudent,
479
00:27:51,825 --> 00:27:56,428
ambitious and disciplined,
careful and patient,
480
00:27:56,430 --> 00:28:01,232
humorous and reserved,
pessimistic and fatalistic.
481
00:28:03,070 --> 00:28:07,105
December 28th, that would
make Officer Garland
482
00:28:07,107 --> 00:28:12,043
a Kwanzaa baby, Ujima baby,
well, maybe.
483
00:28:13,346 --> 00:28:18,383
December 28th, 1998, it means
Y2K is only a year away.
484
00:28:19,219 --> 00:28:20,418
You heard of Y2K.
485
00:28:22,222 --> 00:28:24,422
You ain't heard of Y2K?
486
00:28:24,424 --> 00:28:29,494
Okay, they say one second
after 12, next New Year's Eve,
487
00:28:31,264 --> 00:28:34,099
after they drop the
ball on New York, right,
488
00:28:34,101 --> 00:28:38,236
things are going to go bananas,
for real, end of the world.
489
00:28:39,272 --> 00:28:41,239
They say all the
computers in the world
490
00:28:41,241 --> 00:28:43,825
are going to lose
their megabytes.
491
00:28:43,826 --> 00:28:46,410
Even banks and stuff are going
to lose grip on their cash.
492
00:28:47,914 --> 00:28:51,783
Now, of course nobody I
know is so naive to believe
493
00:28:51,785 --> 00:28:54,819
that ATMs are going to go crazy
and start spitting out 20s.
494
00:28:54,821 --> 00:28:58,356
I ain't saying I believe in
it, I ain't saying I don't,
495
00:28:58,358 --> 00:29:01,259
but you know me, Roni,
and Kai got that ATM
496
00:29:01,261 --> 00:29:04,095
on University and
Main staked out.
497
00:29:04,097 --> 00:29:06,097
We just going to be in
the vicinity,
498
00:29:06,099 --> 00:29:08,233
case cash start spitting out.
499
00:29:08,235 --> 00:29:09,200
Think I won't?
500
00:29:10,871 --> 00:29:15,206
But 1000 years, that's
crazy to even think,
501
00:29:15,208 --> 00:29:20,078
1000 years of time, if
we're lucky, we get like 79.
502
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,081
That's like a blink,
like a wink.
503
00:29:24,084 --> 00:29:26,134
(clock shatters)
504
00:29:26,135 --> 00:29:28,185
But at least I get one of
the very few in the history
505
00:29:28,188 --> 00:29:31,422
of the world to go from the
old millennium to the new.
506
00:29:31,424 --> 00:29:35,360
Out of everybody in
history to ever live,
507
00:29:35,362 --> 00:29:39,130
I get to be one of the very
few in the history of the world
508
00:29:39,132 --> 00:29:43,334
to go from the old millennium
to the new, you too.
509
00:29:45,305 --> 00:29:46,070
Know what I'm gonna do?
510
00:29:47,407 --> 00:29:51,142
I'm going to make the
millennium that's next my best.
511
00:29:51,144 --> 00:29:53,011
I'm going to make M2 the bomb.
512
00:29:54,047 --> 00:29:56,281
Might even make me an
M2 resolution.
513
00:29:57,317 --> 00:29:59,984
Start me an M2 revolution.
514
00:30:02,055 --> 00:30:05,223
- December 28th, Y2K in a year,
515
00:30:06,426 --> 00:30:09,160
makes Officer Garland
a Capricorn over there.
516
00:30:11,898 --> 00:30:15,066
Let's see other signs we
got in the house tonight.
517
00:30:15,068 --> 00:30:16,267
Say, what's your sign?
518
00:30:17,137 --> 00:30:18,837
¶ Say, what's your sign ¶
519
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:21,239
¶ Do the Pisces run this
mother for ya ¶
520
00:30:21,241 --> 00:30:22,574
¶ Hell yeah ¶
521
00:30:22,576 --> 00:30:25,143
¶ Do my Aries run this
mother for ya ¶
522
00:30:25,145 --> 00:30:26,544
¶ Hell yeah ¶
523
00:30:26,546 --> 00:30:29,080
¶ Do my Libras run this
mother for ya ¶
524
00:30:29,082 --> 00:30:30,381
¶ Hell yeah ¶
525
00:30:30,383 --> 00:30:33,184
¶ Do my Taurus run this
mother for ya? ¶
526
00:30:33,186 --> 00:30:35,520
¶ Hell yeah ¶
527
00:30:40,994 --> 00:30:43,895
- December 28th, Y2K in a year,
528
00:30:45,098 --> 00:30:47,866
makes Officer Garland
a Capricorn over there.
529
00:30:50,003 --> 00:30:51,569
- Once inside the vehicle,
I heard a (speech blurs),
530
00:30:51,571 --> 00:30:53,538
which I believed to
be a gun blast.
531
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:55,640
I immediately fell
backwards onto the pavement
532
00:30:55,642 --> 00:30:57,375
injuring my legs and wrists.
533
00:30:57,377 --> 00:30:59,577
I saw the occupant rise
forward in her seat.
534
00:30:59,579 --> 00:31:01,546
While thinking that I had
been shot and believing
535
00:31:01,548 --> 00:31:04,916
that the occupant was
attempting to shoot me again,
536
00:31:04,918 --> 00:31:07,452
I begin firing into the driver's
side door of the vehicle.
537
00:31:07,454 --> 00:31:10,088
- If Roni couldn't hear me,
I must be asleep, right?
538
00:31:10,090 --> 00:31:12,357
- I begin firing into the
driver's side door of the
vehicle.
539
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:15,226
- If I'm sleeping, I'm dreaming,
so it must be deep, right?
540
00:31:15,228 --> 00:31:17,195
- I begin firing into
the driver's side door.
541
00:31:17,197 --> 00:31:18,596
- If I'm deep asleep, the police
542
00:31:18,598 --> 00:31:19,964
will just wake me up, right?
543
00:31:19,966 --> 00:31:21,466
- I begin firing
into the driver.
544
00:31:21,468 --> 00:31:24,669
- Help me find a spare,
even help jack me up, right?
545
00:31:24,671 --> 00:31:25,603
- I begin firing.
546
00:31:25,605 --> 00:31:26,471
- Right?
547
00:31:26,473 --> 00:31:27,338
- I begin firing.
548
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:28,206
- Right?
549
00:31:28,208 --> 00:31:29,073
- I begin firing.
550
00:31:29,075 --> 00:31:29,941
- Right?
551
00:31:29,943 --> 00:31:30,608
- I begin firing.
552
00:31:30,610 --> 00:31:31,476
- Right?
553
00:31:31,478 --> 00:31:32,343
- I begin firing.
554
00:31:32,345 --> 00:31:33,211
- Right?
555
00:31:33,213 --> 00:31:34,078
- I begin firing.
556
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,946
- Right?
557
00:31:34,948 --> 00:31:35,613
- I begin firing.
558
00:31:35,615 --> 00:31:36,447
- Right?
559
00:31:36,449 --> 00:31:37,315
- I begin firing.
560
00:31:37,317 --> 00:31:40,251
(gunshots fire)
561
00:31:40,253 --> 00:31:41,986
- Ever have one of those dreams,
562
00:31:44,024 --> 00:31:46,257
where nothing comes out
when you try to scream?
563
00:31:49,496 --> 00:31:52,096
(beatboxing)
564
00:32:00,407 --> 00:32:04,976
¶ Worst come to worst,
my people, my ¶
565
00:32:11,251 --> 00:32:15,053
¶ One, one ¶
566
00:32:15,055 --> 00:32:19,390
¶ Worst come to
worst my people ¶
567
00:32:19,392 --> 00:32:21,693
The entrance to gunshot
number one (beatboxing).
568
00:32:25,665 --> 00:32:27,398
The entrance to
gunshot number one
569
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,367
is located on the
right upper arm.
570
00:32:29,369 --> 00:32:32,170
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
571
00:32:32,172 --> 00:32:33,571
The course of the
projectile is through
572
00:32:33,573 --> 00:32:35,740
the skin and soft tissue
of the right upper arm,
573
00:32:35,742 --> 00:32:38,142
perforating and fracturing
the right humerus.
574
00:32:38,144 --> 00:32:40,712
This is a non-fatal, however
very serious gunshot wound
575
00:32:40,714 --> 00:32:44,248
to the right upper arm,
fracturing the humerus, humerus.
576
00:32:45,285 --> 00:32:46,985
- Did he just say humorous?
577
00:32:48,154 --> 00:32:50,521
I think he said humorous.
578
00:32:50,523 --> 00:32:53,691
¶ Humerus, humerus ¶
579
00:32:53,693 --> 00:32:55,493
- That's funny.
580
00:32:55,495 --> 00:32:58,296
What's not so funny is
the fact that me, Kai,
581
00:32:58,298 --> 00:33:00,131
and Roni been working
on our routine.
582
00:33:01,167 --> 00:33:03,468
You know, for when we
hit the scene.
583
00:33:03,470 --> 00:33:07,105
(club music plays)
584
00:33:07,107 --> 00:33:10,141
Yeah, that's right,
we them girls.
585
00:33:10,143 --> 00:33:13,611
You know the ones, get
you on the dance floor,
586
00:33:13,613 --> 00:33:16,147
thinking you going to
have some fun,
587
00:33:16,149 --> 00:33:19,050
thinking you going to get
your grind on,
588
00:33:19,052 --> 00:33:22,453
get your freak on,
maybe even get you some.
589
00:33:22,455 --> 00:33:25,223
But as soon as we get
you on the floor,
590
00:33:25,225 --> 00:33:28,159
you realize you gets none.
591
00:33:28,161 --> 00:33:31,329
We bust out the routine
we came here to do.
592
00:33:31,331 --> 00:33:33,131
And we ain't being mean.
593
00:33:33,133 --> 00:33:35,333
It's just how we do what we do.
594
00:33:35,335 --> 00:33:38,403
So you end up standing there
bobbing your head, wondering
595
00:33:38,405 --> 00:33:42,373
if you going to get some
attention, create a little
tension.
596
00:33:42,375 --> 00:33:45,576
So when we see it in your
face, give you a taste.
597
00:33:45,578 --> 00:33:47,328
Know what I mean?
598
00:33:47,329 --> 00:33:49,079
But what you don't
realize is that
599
00:33:49,082 --> 00:33:51,315
it's all built into the routine.
600
00:33:54,421 --> 00:33:57,588
(crowd cheers)
601
00:33:57,590 --> 00:34:00,558
(club music plays)
602
00:34:28,321 --> 00:34:30,588
Like I said, we ain't mean.
603
00:34:30,590 --> 00:34:31,756
That's just how we play.
604
00:34:31,758 --> 00:34:32,723
- We're Roni.
605
00:34:32,725 --> 00:34:33,624
- Kai.
606
00:34:33,626 --> 00:34:34,642
- Myeisha.
607
00:34:34,643 --> 00:34:35,659
- [All] We Three The Hard Way.
608
00:34:35,662 --> 00:34:37,361
- So, anyway.
609
00:34:39,532 --> 00:34:41,566
We working on a new routine.
610
00:34:41,568 --> 00:34:46,170
Old one's getting tired, about
time for it to be retired.
611
00:34:46,172 --> 00:34:47,105
So...
612
00:34:50,543 --> 00:34:51,809
See the dilemma?
613
00:34:51,811 --> 00:34:54,512
This is where we're
supposed to hit this.
614
00:34:54,514 --> 00:34:58,382
It's cool and all, me, myself,
personally,
615
00:34:58,384 --> 00:35:01,652
I think we should be doing
more of Aaliyah's moves.
616
00:35:01,654 --> 00:35:05,857
Girl is bad and so smooth.
617
00:35:05,859 --> 00:35:08,459
She's got that thing, you know?
618
00:35:08,461 --> 00:35:11,596
She should be doing some more
movies or something, you know?
619
00:35:11,598 --> 00:35:14,198
I bet you, she's really
going to blow up
620
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,433
in a couple years or so.
621
00:35:16,469 --> 00:35:18,436
But I get the feeling,
she might want
622
00:35:18,438 --> 00:35:20,404
to give the slip to R. Kelly.
623
00:35:20,406 --> 00:35:23,307
I mean maybe it's just
me, but he gives me the--
624
00:35:23,309 --> 00:35:24,909
- Willies.
625
00:35:24,911 --> 00:35:28,913
- Anyway, check out what we
got so far in our routine.
626
00:35:28,915 --> 00:35:30,481
Then you'll see why a fractured
627
00:35:30,483 --> 00:35:32,550
humerus isn't just a funny bone.
628
00:35:35,522 --> 00:35:37,922
(beatboxing)
629
00:35:49,636 --> 00:35:52,737
¶ One, two, two, two, two, two,
two ¶
630
00:35:52,739 --> 00:35:55,339
(beatboxing)
631
00:35:57,744 --> 00:35:59,577
The entrance to gunshot number--
632
00:35:59,579 --> 00:36:01,779
¶ When they faces can
see me they nod in-- ¶
633
00:36:01,781 --> 00:36:04,182
(beatboxing)
634
00:36:04,184 --> 00:36:06,417
The entrance to gunshot
number two is located
635
00:36:06,419 --> 00:36:08,452
on the left
posterior upper neck.
636
00:36:08,454 --> 00:36:11,355
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
637
00:36:11,357 --> 00:36:13,257
The course of the projectile
is through the skin
638
00:36:13,259 --> 00:36:15,693
and soft tissue of the left
upper neck, coursing through
639
00:36:15,695 --> 00:36:18,396
the mandible, and exiting
the right side of the jaw.
640
00:36:18,398 --> 00:36:20,398
The mandible is
extensively fractured
641
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,800
and there is some
fragmentation of the teeth.
642
00:36:22,802 --> 00:36:24,402
The exit for gunshot number two
643
00:36:24,404 --> 00:36:26,470
is located on the right
side of the jaw.
644
00:36:26,472 --> 00:36:27,838
This is a very serious, however
645
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,342
not rapidly fatal gunshot
wound fracturing the jaw.
646
00:36:31,344 --> 00:36:33,811
(lights stir)
647
00:36:39,385 --> 00:36:42,253
(dramatic music)
648
00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:46,724
- I heard that dreams
about losing
649
00:36:46,726 --> 00:36:49,493
your teeth symbolize a loss
of childhood innocence.
650
00:36:50,663 --> 00:36:53,264
These dreams often occur
at times of transition
651
00:36:53,266 --> 00:36:56,400
from one life stage to the
next and can be a message
652
00:36:56,402 --> 00:36:59,003
that an important
milestone is occurring
653
00:36:59,005 --> 00:37:01,372
and urging you to face
the inevitable.
654
00:37:02,575 --> 00:37:04,308
You know what I'm going to miss?
655
00:37:05,612 --> 00:37:08,412
(bell dings)
656
00:37:08,414 --> 00:37:12,483
Gram's Mission Barbecue
downtown on Main Street.
657
00:37:12,485 --> 00:37:17,321
Man, Robert be putting his
foot in his Q, both feet.
658
00:37:18,524 --> 00:37:21,425
Oh, don't worry, that's
a good thing.
659
00:37:21,427 --> 00:37:22,627
It's the same as saying--
660
00:37:22,629 --> 00:37:24,629
- Mmm-mmm, that Q is slammin.
661
00:37:25,798 --> 00:37:30,668
- Beef tips, coleslaw,
mac & cheese, chicken,
662
00:37:31,938 --> 00:37:34,038
that's what I'm
gonna be missing.
663
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:39,310
Pork ribs, potato salad,
barbecue beans, greens, yams,
664
00:37:40,913 --> 00:37:45,916
peach cobbler, I got something
that needs to be said though.
665
00:37:45,918 --> 00:37:50,388
So, what's the deal with
barbecue folks and their bread?
666
00:37:51,591 --> 00:37:54,392
Y'all heard what I said,
the bread.
667
00:37:55,561 --> 00:37:59,363
The bread, if you could
call it that,
668
00:37:59,365 --> 00:38:01,732
it's the same no matter
where you at.
669
00:38:01,734 --> 00:38:04,735
You could be at Gram's,
Bobby Ray's in San Berdoo,
670
00:38:05,838 --> 00:38:09,974
Louisiana Fish in Moval
or M&M's in LA,
671
00:38:09,976 --> 00:38:13,377
your meal's gonna come
out the same way.
672
00:38:13,379 --> 00:38:18,049
Green's gonna be hooked,
mac & cheese, please.
673
00:38:18,051 --> 00:38:20,551
Baked beans gonna to
be lip smacking
674
00:38:20,553 --> 00:38:22,820
and the Q's gonna to
be slamming.
675
00:38:24,657 --> 00:38:28,526
But sitting on top of your
order, off to the side,
676
00:38:28,528 --> 00:38:32,930
I guarantee there's going to
be some paper thin, no flavor,
677
00:38:33,966 --> 00:38:36,600
it ain't even Roman
Meal white bread.
678
00:38:36,602 --> 00:38:38,369
(imitates disappointing buzzer)
679
00:38:38,371 --> 00:38:41,605
You heard what I said,
white bread.
680
00:38:41,607 --> 00:38:43,841
I'm telling you, it's
going to be white.
681
00:38:43,843 --> 00:38:47,411
White bread, but if you
accidentally luck out
682
00:38:47,413 --> 00:38:49,814
and get you some wheat
bread, don't be looking
683
00:38:49,816 --> 00:38:53,951
for no wheat grain, wheat
smell, wheatgerm, wheat taste.
684
00:38:55,521 --> 00:38:57,988
Ain't nothing like that gonna
to be found in this bread.
685
00:38:57,990 --> 00:39:00,358
This wheat bread is
gonna to be wheat
686
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,727
only because that's
what the bag says.
687
00:39:02,729 --> 00:39:04,795
- Wheat bread.
688
00:39:04,797 --> 00:39:08,132
- What's really sad is that
since the rest of the meal's
689
00:39:08,134 --> 00:39:12,036
so good, we forget about
the bread, white or wheat.
690
00:39:13,539 --> 00:39:17,375
And when it's time to sop
up that last bit of Q sauce
691
00:39:17,377 --> 00:39:18,843
you got sitting in the
corner of that
692
00:39:18,845 --> 00:39:21,545
take-out styrofoam container
that you just can't reach
693
00:39:21,547 --> 00:39:25,916
with your plastic fork,
that paper thin, flavorless,
694
00:39:25,918 --> 00:39:29,153
you wish it was Roman
Meal bread gets it done.
695
00:39:30,957 --> 00:39:33,023
That's what I'm
gonna be missing,
696
00:39:33,025 --> 00:39:36,594
barbecue, fake wheat
bread and kissing.
697
00:39:38,798 --> 00:39:41,849
(bell dings)
698
00:39:41,850 --> 00:39:44,901
Listen, kissing, okay,
Wesley in "Sugar Hill"
699
00:39:50,543 --> 00:39:54,979
or Denzel in "Crimson Tide"?
700
00:39:56,983 --> 00:40:02,019
Okay, Denzel in "Hurricane"
701
00:40:03,055 --> 00:40:07,758
or Wesley in "White
Men Can't Jump"?
702
00:40:10,530 --> 00:40:13,130
Okay, Wesley in "Murder At 1600"
703
00:40:16,736 --> 00:40:21,806
or Denzel in "Devil In
A Blue Dress"?
704
00:40:24,110 --> 00:40:29,180
Okay, Denzel in "Glory"
or Wesley in "Blade"?
705
00:40:37,190 --> 00:40:42,226
Okay, Wesley in "Jungle Fever"
or Denzel in "Malcolm X"?
706
00:40:49,535 --> 00:40:54,605
Okay, Denzel in "Mo'
Better Blues"
707
00:40:57,143 --> 00:41:01,245
or Wesley in "Mo' Better Blues"?
708
00:41:04,150 --> 00:41:07,017
(Myeisha coughs)
709
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,529
I heard that dreams
about losing your teeth
710
00:41:18,531 --> 00:41:21,065
symbolize a loss of
childhood innocence.
711
00:41:22,068 --> 00:41:23,868
These dreams often
occur at times
712
00:41:23,870 --> 00:41:26,637
of transition from one
life stage to the next.
713
00:41:27,073 --> 00:41:28,138
(beatboxing)
714
00:41:28,140 --> 00:41:30,107
¶ One, two, three, three,
three ¶
715
00:41:30,109 --> 00:41:32,710
(beatboxing)
716
00:41:38,718 --> 00:41:40,251
(gunshot fires)
717
00:41:40,252 --> 00:41:41,785
- The entrance to gunshot
number (beatboxing).
718
00:41:41,787 --> 00:41:43,754
¶ Yeah show 'em where it's at ¶
719
00:41:43,756 --> 00:41:45,823
(beatboxing)
720
00:41:45,825 --> 00:41:48,659
Number three is located on
the right posterior shoulder
721
00:41:48,661 --> 00:41:50,728
on the right upper back.
722
00:41:50,729 --> 00:41:52,796
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
723
00:41:52,798 --> 00:41:54,698
The course of the projectile
is through the skin
724
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:56,934
and soft tissue of the
right posterior shoulder
725
00:41:56,936 --> 00:41:58,669
exiting the wall of the back.
726
00:41:58,671 --> 00:42:02,039
This is a non-fatal gunshot
wound to the right upper back.
727
00:42:04,944 --> 00:42:06,143
- I was always a tomboy.
728
00:42:07,747 --> 00:42:10,848
People used to say I must be
gay because I dress this way,
729
00:42:10,850 --> 00:42:15,152
baggy jeans, sneakers, my
shirt hanging loose this way.
730
00:42:15,154 --> 00:42:18,188
Always a tom boy, and
if you don't
731
00:42:18,190 --> 00:42:20,925
like it, you can kiss
this this way.
732
00:42:22,261 --> 00:42:26,697
Looked good playing the field,
and still has sex appeal.
733
00:42:28,234 --> 00:42:30,034
(net swishes)
734
00:42:30,036 --> 00:42:34,605
Played some basketball,
but softball was my game.
735
00:42:34,607 --> 00:42:38,609
Got my pitch up to 65 my
last year at Riverside High.
736
00:42:38,611 --> 00:42:40,044
Even got a little fame.
737
00:42:41,047 --> 00:42:43,881
It's true.
738
00:42:43,882 --> 00:42:46,716
Got my picture in "The Black
Voice" newspaper, page B2.
739
00:42:54,260 --> 00:42:57,828
My best pitch, I called
it the Quick-an'-Split.
740
00:42:58,698 --> 00:43:01,065
Had batters singing the blues.
741
00:43:01,067 --> 00:43:02,600
- Strike!
742
00:43:02,602 --> 00:43:03,334
- See ya!
743
00:43:04,804 --> 00:43:06,637
I love the sound of my
pitch in the catcher's mitt
744
00:43:06,639 --> 00:43:09,740
when it hit that sweet
spot it was like, like...
745
00:43:14,714 --> 00:43:19,717
Sounded good, felt good,
and I look good too.
746
00:43:21,220 --> 00:43:22,686
Okay, let me stop.
747
00:43:23,322 --> 00:43:24,955
I did look good though.
748
00:43:24,957 --> 00:43:27,224
Thinking about walking
onto a Cal State
749
00:43:27,226 --> 00:43:31,795
or a UCR, RCC, Valley, Cal Poly.
750
00:43:33,132 --> 00:43:36,133
I messed up and didn't get
my applications in on time.
751
00:43:37,637 --> 00:43:41,372
Tom boy, shoot, I
could have been
752
00:43:41,374 --> 00:43:44,942
a cheerleader if I wanted to,
home boy.
753
00:43:46,112 --> 00:43:49,380
¶ My name is Myeisha and
I'm the best ¶
754
00:43:49,382 --> 00:43:53,117
¶ Come get with me,
forget the rest ¶
755
00:43:53,119 --> 00:43:56,854
¶ My name is Myeisha, you
know my name, ¶
756
00:43:56,856 --> 00:43:57,955
¶ Wanna get with me ¶
757
00:43:57,957 --> 00:44:00,257
¶ You better step up your game ¶
758
00:44:00,259 --> 00:44:02,226
¶ Her name is Myeisha ¶
759
00:44:02,228 --> 00:44:04,094
¶ She is the best ¶
760
00:44:04,096 --> 00:44:07,398
¶ Come get with her or
get the rest ¶
761
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,299
¶ Her name is Myeisha ¶
762
00:44:09,301 --> 00:44:11,268
¶ You know her name ¶
763
00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:16,173
¶ Wanna get with her you
better step up your game ¶
764
00:44:16,776 --> 00:44:19,309
(wind rustles)
765
00:44:23,149 --> 00:44:24,915
¶ One, two, three, four ¶
766
00:44:24,917 --> 00:44:27,317
(beatboxing)
767
00:44:32,124 --> 00:44:34,858
¶ With one comes the two
to the three and (beat) ¶
768
00:44:34,860 --> 00:44:36,293
- The entrance to (beatboxing),
769
00:44:38,431 --> 00:44:40,097
number four is located on
770
00:44:40,099 --> 00:44:42,199
the left posterior
side of the head.
771
00:44:42,201 --> 00:44:45,135
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
772
00:44:45,137 --> 00:44:47,404
The course of the projectile
is through the scalp
773
00:44:47,406 --> 00:44:49,773
exiting the right
posterior scalp.
774
00:44:49,775 --> 00:44:52,176
The projectile does not
enter or fracture the cranium
775
00:44:52,178 --> 00:44:54,478
and the course is only
through the scalp.
776
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,380
The exit on the right
posterior scalp
777
00:44:56,382 --> 00:45:00,017
is a half inch irregular
stilet hole without abrasion.
778
00:45:00,019 --> 00:45:01,985
This is a non-fatal
distant gunshot
779
00:45:01,987 --> 00:45:04,021
wound perforating
the scalp only.
780
00:45:04,023 --> 00:45:05,022
- [Myeisha] Hold up.
781
00:45:05,024 --> 00:45:06,256
- Wait a minute.
782
00:45:06,258 --> 00:45:08,859
(beatboxing)
783
00:45:09,995 --> 00:45:12,796
¶ Wait a minute ¶
784
00:45:12,798 --> 00:45:15,232
- I know he did not just
say only through the scalp.
785
00:45:16,802 --> 00:45:21,004
I know he did not just say
only, talking about my scalp.
786
00:45:22,041 --> 00:45:25,843
He must not realize that
the only place
787
00:45:25,845 --> 00:45:28,946
my hair grows is on that scalp.
788
00:45:28,948 --> 00:45:30,147
You know what?
789
00:45:30,149 --> 00:45:33,150
I'm not even going to
into the whole black women
790
00:45:33,152 --> 00:45:35,452
and their hair
conversation right now,
791
00:45:35,454 --> 00:45:38,388
not with a coroner anyhow.
792
00:45:40,493 --> 00:45:44,962
All I'm going to say is
Sarah Breedlove,
793
00:45:44,964 --> 00:45:49,433
AKA Madam C.J. Walker, AKA
first self-made
794
00:45:49,435 --> 00:45:53,470
American woman millionaire,
built on black hair care.
795
00:45:53,472 --> 00:45:56,407
You hear?
796
00:45:56,408 --> 00:45:59,343
Hot iron burns on your
forehead, scars on your neck,
797
00:45:59,345 --> 00:46:03,981
highlights, lowlights, frosting,
tinting,
798
00:46:03,983 --> 00:46:07,184
sleeping sitting up so your
new style don't get wrecked,
799
00:46:07,186 --> 00:46:10,788
kitchen sink perms,
combing through them naps,
800
00:46:10,790 --> 00:46:14,558
baby hair pumping, getting
your dandruff scratched.
801
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,960
Now, I know some of my sisters,
802
00:46:16,962 --> 00:46:19,963
y'all gone natural, and
I ain't hating.
803
00:46:19,965 --> 00:46:22,166
All I'm saying is you
don't want to go
804
00:46:22,168 --> 00:46:25,102
there unless you are
aware of the hair.
805
00:46:25,104 --> 00:46:27,204
¶ I want a girl with,
in her hair ¶
806
00:46:27,206 --> 00:46:30,808
¶ Bamboo earrings, at least ¶
807
00:46:30,810 --> 00:46:34,845
- Only through the scalpel
let me give you, Mr. Coroner,
808
00:46:34,847 --> 00:46:38,015
some advice when addressing
a black woman's hair.
809
00:46:38,017 --> 00:46:40,884
The only time you want
to let "only"
810
00:46:40,886 --> 00:46:42,953
come out your mouth is if
you're saying--
811
00:46:44,290 --> 00:46:47,558
- If only I could get my flip
to flip as good as yours.
812
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,027
- If only I could get
my micro braids
813
00:46:50,029 --> 00:46:51,929
to hold as good as yours.
814
00:46:51,931 --> 00:46:55,499
- If only I could get my streaks
to blend as good as yours.
815
00:46:55,501 --> 00:46:58,969
- If only I could get my bob
to hold as good as yours.
816
00:46:58,971 --> 00:47:03,473
- Only through the scalp and
since I'm handing out advice,
817
00:47:03,475 --> 00:47:05,609
let me give the men a
little slice.
818
00:47:05,611 --> 00:47:08,412
You know me, I'm gonna be nice.
819
00:47:08,414 --> 00:47:11,949
Now brothers should already
be aware of this fact,
820
00:47:11,951 --> 00:47:15,352
but if you ain't a brother and
you like your coffee black,
821
00:47:15,354 --> 00:47:18,355
here's a little insight to
help you with your mack.
822
00:47:20,025 --> 00:47:21,925
Do not touch the hair.
823
00:47:23,863 --> 00:47:28,432
Perm, relaxed, crimped, slicked,
braided, dreaded or fro,
824
00:47:28,434 --> 00:47:31,468
please, just let the hair go.
825
00:47:31,470 --> 00:47:33,604
Do not grab the hair.
826
00:47:33,606 --> 00:47:35,639
Do not clutch the hair.
827
00:47:35,641 --> 00:47:37,307
Do not caress the hair.
828
00:47:37,309 --> 00:47:39,109
Do not stroke the hair.
829
00:47:39,111 --> 00:47:40,143
Do not fondle with the hair.
830
00:47:40,145 --> 00:47:41,328
Do not fiddle with the hair.
831
00:47:41,329 --> 00:47:42,512
Do not twiddle with the hair.
832
00:47:42,514 --> 00:47:44,915
Do not absentmindedly
twirl the hair,
833
00:47:44,917 --> 00:47:47,251
or swirl the hair, or
curl the hair.
834
00:47:47,253 --> 00:47:49,319
Do not pensively seize the hair.
835
00:47:49,321 --> 00:47:51,255
Do not passionately
grip the hair.
836
00:47:51,257 --> 00:47:54,324
Do not attempt to run your
fingers through the hair.
837
00:47:54,326 --> 00:47:55,392
Do not kiss the hair.
838
00:47:55,394 --> 00:47:56,526
Do not lick the hair.
839
00:47:56,528 --> 00:47:57,995
Just...
840
00:47:57,997 --> 00:47:59,897
Did I make myself clear?
841
00:47:59,899 --> 00:48:01,064
Hands off the hair.
842
00:48:02,134 --> 00:48:06,169
But, if you care to get
near the hair,
843
00:48:07,339 --> 00:48:10,574
then be aware of when
hair's just been done.
844
00:48:10,576 --> 00:48:14,144
When a sister's just come from
Ebony Crest, Shear Elegance,
845
00:48:14,146 --> 00:48:18,215
or Miss Ellison, make it
very clear that you see
846
00:48:18,217 --> 00:48:21,585
the hair, you feel the hair,
847
00:48:21,587 --> 00:48:25,989
and if allowed, you would
stroke the hair.
848
00:48:25,991 --> 00:48:28,191
You would caress the hair.
849
00:48:28,193 --> 00:48:29,159
You would grab the hair.
850
00:48:29,161 --> 00:48:31,111
You would clutch the hair.
851
00:48:31,112 --> 00:48:33,062
You would fondle, fiddle,
twiddle and twirl the hair.
852
00:48:34,266 --> 00:48:38,502
I know it's not fair,
but hey, hair's not fair.
853
00:48:38,504 --> 00:48:42,339
So if you really care,
do not touch the hair.
854
00:48:44,009 --> 00:48:45,642
And oh yeah, when you
see a sister
855
00:48:45,644 --> 00:48:49,046
going like this,
don't be phased.
856
00:48:49,048 --> 00:48:51,014
Ain't nothing wrong with her.
857
00:48:51,016 --> 00:48:55,485
She's only scratching her
scalp through her braids.
858
00:48:55,487 --> 00:48:58,322
I know he did not say
only through
859
00:48:58,324 --> 00:49:03,226
the scalp, only
through the scalp.
860
00:49:03,228 --> 00:49:06,196
¶ One two three four five ¶

00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,514
¶ Cotton candy sweet is
tootsie roll, tootsie, beat ¶
866
00:49:24,516 --> 00:49:27,617
Number five is located on
the central lower back.
867
00:49:27,619 --> 00:49:30,487
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
868
00:49:30,489 --> 00:49:32,389
The course of the projectile
is through the skin
869
00:49:32,391 --> 00:49:34,358
and soft tissue of the
left lower back
870
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,760
exiting the left
anterior lateral hip.
871
00:49:36,762 --> 00:49:39,596
This is a non-fatal gunshot
wound to the left lower back.
872
00:49:39,598 --> 00:49:44,368
- I was in a video, nah,
for real, I was in a video.
873
00:49:45,471 --> 00:49:48,338
I was in this video, it
was even on TV.
874
00:49:49,341 --> 00:49:52,476
Okay, so it was like
on channel 23,
875
00:49:52,478 --> 00:49:54,044
exclusively local to the IE.
876
00:49:55,514 --> 00:49:58,715
Okay, see, this MC from Moval,
877
00:49:58,717 --> 00:50:01,151
got signed by Moval Records,
right?
878
00:50:01,153 --> 00:50:03,921
Local label.
879
00:50:03,922 --> 00:50:06,690
Think his name was MC D-Low,
and they about to release
880
00:50:06,692 --> 00:50:09,793
his first single, and they
about to shoot the video.
881
00:50:09,795 --> 00:50:14,364
So, me, Kai, and Roni are
at Club Metro,
882
00:50:14,366 --> 00:50:16,767
letting ourselves go.
883
00:50:16,769 --> 00:50:20,437
This kid sees us, says
he's shooting a video.
884
00:50:20,439 --> 00:50:22,572
Sees us doing our old routine,
885
00:50:22,574 --> 00:50:25,042
not even the new one
you just seen.
886
00:50:25,044 --> 00:50:29,079
Says he's looking for some
females to represent for the IE,
887
00:50:29,081 --> 00:50:33,683
so naturally, you know, Roni,
Kai and me.
888
00:50:33,685 --> 00:50:35,619
- You girls heard of
Moval Records?
889
00:50:35,621 --> 00:50:37,354
- [All] No.
890
00:50:37,355 --> 00:50:39,088
- Well, we shooting a
music video.
891
00:50:39,091 --> 00:50:39,823
- [All] So?
892
00:50:39,825 --> 00:50:42,426
(bell rings)
893
00:50:44,296 --> 00:50:46,563
- But we still show up
for the shoot.
894
00:50:46,565 --> 00:50:50,600
Shoot, we just down to
get our groove on.
895
00:50:50,602 --> 00:50:52,436
They were for real.
896
00:50:52,438 --> 00:50:56,373
Had a director, a crew
and everything,
897
00:50:57,443 --> 00:51:00,243
so on action, we did our thing.
898
00:51:00,245 --> 00:51:02,245
- "Grab That Girl By The Bow",
take one.
899
00:51:02,247 --> 00:51:05,382
(MC D-Low beatboxes)
900
00:51:16,161 --> 00:51:17,527
¶ Pretty thighs ¶
901
00:51:17,529 --> 00:51:18,762
¶ Stomach right ¶
902
00:51:18,764 --> 00:51:20,097
¶ Thick old thighs ¶
903
00:51:20,099 --> 00:51:21,364
¶ And her booty fat ¶
904
00:51:21,366 --> 00:51:23,567
¶ Pop, do the pop,
don't stop, do the pop ¶
905
00:51:23,569 --> 00:51:26,503
¶ Don't stop, do the pop,
don't stop, do the pop ¶
906
00:51:26,505 --> 00:51:31,575
¶ Girl, drop it girl,
drop it girl, booty fat ¶
907
00:51:33,645 --> 00:51:36,880
¶ Pop, don't stop, do the pop ¶
908
00:51:36,882 --> 00:51:40,817
- Okay, so you probably
won't recognize us.
909
00:51:40,819 --> 00:51:45,188
You know, I thought they
were serious, but when I saw
910
00:51:45,190 --> 00:51:50,260
the video, all they showed
was the angle on the gluteus.
911
00:51:50,262 --> 00:51:54,798
I mean, I like my posterior,
but I like my face too.
912
00:51:55,901 --> 00:51:58,735
I think they showed it
once on BET Uncut,
913
00:51:58,737 --> 00:52:02,172
but in the final cut,
you don't see me,
914
00:52:02,174 --> 00:52:05,909
at least not from any angle
where you could see me.
915
00:52:05,911 --> 00:52:08,678
All they showed was what
Roni, Kai, and me call
916
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,415
the hoe shot, all bottom,
no top.
917
00:52:13,485 --> 00:52:16,820
Okay, this is how Moval
Records shot me.
918
00:52:16,822 --> 00:52:19,222
¶ Booty, booty, it's the booty,
booty ¶
919
00:52:19,224 --> 00:52:22,792
¶ It's the booty, booty,
it's that booty fat ¶
920
00:52:22,794 --> 00:52:25,595
¶ Pop, don't stop, pop,
don't stop ¶
921
00:52:25,597 --> 00:52:28,532
¶ Pop, don't stop,
pop don't stop ¶
922
00:52:28,534 --> 00:52:31,201
¶ Booty, booty it's the booty,
booty ¶
923
00:52:31,203 --> 00:52:34,538
¶ It's the booty, booty,
it's that booty, booty fat ¶
924
00:52:34,540 --> 00:52:36,640
¶ Pop, pop, pop ¶
925
00:52:36,642 --> 00:52:39,509
(screeching hum)
926
00:52:41,647 --> 00:52:43,813
¶ One, two, three, four, fix,
six ¶
927
00:52:43,815 --> 00:52:46,416
(beatboxing)
928
00:52:51,823 --> 00:52:54,958
(dramatic music)
929
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,560
- The entrance to
gunshot number six
930
00:52:56,562 --> 00:52:58,495
is located on the left thigh.
931
00:52:58,497 --> 00:53:01,498
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
932
00:53:01,500 --> 00:53:03,466
The course of the projectile
is through the skin
933
00:53:03,468 --> 00:53:05,802
and soft tissue of the
left thigh, perforating,
934
00:53:05,804 --> 00:53:08,471
fracturing and fragmenting
the left femur.
935
00:53:08,473 --> 00:53:10,974
This is a non-fatal, however
serious gunshot wound
936
00:53:10,976 --> 00:53:13,510
to the left thigh
fracturing the left femur.
937
00:53:14,713 --> 00:53:16,479
- My cousin died once...
938
00:53:17,449 --> 00:53:19,449
Well, almost died.
939
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,354
No, not Roni, my cousin Freddie.
940
00:53:25,424 --> 00:53:28,458
Well, he kind of died.
941
00:53:29,361 --> 00:53:31,294
Okay, so if you know me,
you know
942
00:53:31,296 --> 00:53:33,930
I've got sports skills, but
when it came to Freddie,
943
00:53:33,932 --> 00:53:37,534
man, it was more like
sports kills.
944
00:53:37,536 --> 00:53:39,869
He's uncoordinated like a mug.
945
00:53:39,871 --> 00:53:42,405
I mean like a mug.
946
00:53:42,407 --> 00:53:47,010
So when I heard he broke his
leg, I was like, "Yeah, and?
947
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,447
Well of course he broke his leg.
948
00:53:50,449 --> 00:53:53,283
That's Fred, that's
what he does."
949
00:53:53,285 --> 00:53:54,517
Okay, so you know how you've got
950
00:53:54,519 --> 00:53:56,753
that one cousin who's
always getting hurt?
951
00:53:57,889 --> 00:54:00,857
You could be playing
tag, hide and go seek,
952
00:54:00,859 --> 00:54:04,427
jump rope, or digging
in the dirt...
953
00:54:04,429 --> 00:54:06,997
You know you played
digging in the dirt.
954
00:54:06,999 --> 00:54:09,933
No matter what
though I guarantee
955
00:54:09,935 --> 00:54:12,002
Freddie was gonna get hurt.
956
00:54:12,004 --> 00:54:14,337
Dropped a brick on his head,
957
00:54:14,339 --> 00:54:17,307
that was funny and
that one bled.
958
00:54:17,309 --> 00:54:19,376
Broke his left arm twice.
959
00:54:19,378 --> 00:54:21,344
Broke his right arm once.
960
00:54:21,346 --> 00:54:24,714
Ankles always sprained,
usually the left,
961
00:54:24,716 --> 00:54:26,449
but the right one too.
962
00:54:26,451 --> 00:54:28,818
Always has something
in his eyes,
963
00:54:28,820 --> 00:54:30,987
even though he wore glasses.
964
00:54:30,989 --> 00:54:33,990
Over 100 stitches, no lie.
965
00:54:33,992 --> 00:54:36,393
Had to sleep on the bottom bunk
966
00:54:36,395 --> 00:54:37,927
because he'd fall out the bed.
967
00:54:41,433 --> 00:54:42,466
That was Fred.
968
00:54:42,467 --> 00:54:43,500
So then he gets hurt and
starts crying.
969
00:54:43,502 --> 00:54:45,902
We're like, "Shh, come on man.
970
00:54:45,904 --> 00:54:48,872
You act like you dying
or something."
971
00:54:48,874 --> 00:54:50,840
Thing was if one of our aunties
972
00:54:50,842 --> 00:54:54,444
heard Freddie's boo-hoo,
our game was through.
973
00:54:54,446 --> 00:54:56,579
Roni used to get so mad.
974
00:54:56,581 --> 00:54:57,981
She didn't know what to do.
975
00:54:57,983 --> 00:55:01,351
- Damn Fred, shut up, you
act like a little girl.
976
00:55:02,554 --> 00:55:04,988
- As long as there was
no blood flow though,
977
00:55:04,990 --> 00:55:07,023
Freddie was usually good to go.
978
00:55:07,025 --> 00:55:10,794
So they take him to Kaiser,
oh wait,
979
00:55:10,796 --> 00:55:13,997
let me break down the break.
980
00:55:13,999 --> 00:55:16,433
This fool goes out to
Devil's Canyon
981
00:55:16,435 --> 00:55:21,037
out by Cal State rolling
on a moped, a moped.
982
00:55:22,607 --> 00:55:25,575
That's a motorcycle
that you pedal.
983
00:55:25,577 --> 00:55:29,746
So full speed ahead goes
Fred, crashes the moped.
984
00:55:29,748 --> 00:55:31,748
They take him to Kaiser Fontana.
985
00:55:31,750 --> 00:55:34,517
Soon as I find out, I'm
on my way to the hospital
986
00:55:34,519 --> 00:55:38,421
to have me some fun,
get my bag on.
987
00:55:38,423 --> 00:55:39,956
So when I get there, he's like--
988
00:55:39,958 --> 00:55:41,825
- They just want to
keep me overnight.
989
00:55:41,827 --> 00:55:43,360
Then I'm gonna go home.
990
00:55:43,362 --> 00:55:47,664
- Next day, I'm learning
about fat embolism syndrome
991
00:55:48,834 --> 00:55:50,400
and Freddie's not at home.
992
00:55:51,570 --> 00:55:52,936
He's in a coma.
993
00:55:52,938 --> 00:55:55,705
It was induced.
994
00:55:55,707 --> 00:55:57,941
That's how it was introduced.
995
00:55:57,943 --> 00:55:59,909
Doctors explain it this way.
996
00:55:59,911 --> 00:56:02,445
- Fat embolism syndrome
is a symptom complex
997
00:56:02,447 --> 00:56:05,515
of acute respiratory failure
after long bone fractures.
998
00:56:05,517 --> 00:56:08,118
It's thought to be caused
by deposition of embolic fat
999
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,453
within the pulmonary
capillaries resulting
1000
00:56:10,455 --> 00:56:12,122
in a capillary leak
within the lung.
1001
00:56:12,124 --> 00:56:15,558
The source of the embolic
fat appears to be marrow fat.
1002
00:56:18,597 --> 00:56:20,063
- Freddie broke his femur.
1003
00:56:20,064 --> 00:56:21,530
Fat was headed to his lungs,
got stuck in his throat,
1004
00:56:23,068 --> 00:56:27,036
so he's put into an
induced coma for two weeks
1005
00:56:27,038 --> 00:56:31,508
'cause he was too weak to
breathe or speak, two weeks.
1006
00:56:32,944 --> 00:56:38,014
Two weeks to even eat like he
was dead in that hospital bed.
1007
00:56:40,552 --> 00:56:44,788
They said it was good for
him to hear familiar voices,
1008
00:56:46,558 --> 00:56:48,458
so I showed up just
about every day.
1009
00:56:49,661 --> 00:56:51,494
- [Aunt Dee] Please Lord,
be present in this room.
1010
00:56:51,496 --> 00:56:54,764
Let your spirit rain
your healing Lord.
1011
00:56:54,766 --> 00:56:59,169
- Aunt Dee moved in to Kaiser
Permanente permanently.
1012
00:57:00,605 --> 00:57:02,806
My Aunt Dee, Freddie's mom, had
1013
00:57:02,808 --> 00:57:04,808
always been the
auntie with faith.
1014
00:57:04,810 --> 00:57:07,544
You know, the religious aunt
who made sure you prayed
1015
00:57:07,546 --> 00:57:09,813
in your car for a long
ride or dropped
1016
00:57:09,815 --> 00:57:12,949
a, "Stay on the Lord's
side," if she thought
1017
00:57:12,951 --> 00:57:15,185
you were starting to back slide.
1018
00:57:15,187 --> 00:57:19,823
Aunt Dee moved into
the ICU, I kid you not,
1019
00:57:19,825 --> 00:57:22,692
praying my cousin back
to this side saying--
1020
00:57:22,694 --> 00:57:24,794
- This coma ain't
nothing but a comma
1021
00:57:24,796 --> 00:57:26,596
in my son's life story.
1022
00:57:26,598 --> 00:57:30,667
- [Myeisha] After 16 days,
Freddie woke up in a haze.
1023
00:57:30,669 --> 00:57:32,202
First thing he says to me is--
1024
00:57:32,204 --> 00:57:34,737
- Cuz, I went to New York City.
1025
00:57:35,974 --> 00:57:40,643
- And I'm thinking,
(carnival music) not pretty.
1026
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:46,616
Shame, fat emboli got his brain,
how sad.
1027
00:57:47,619 --> 00:57:50,019
And he's getting mad
'cause nobody
1028
00:57:50,021 --> 00:57:52,088
believing his New
York City dream.
1029
00:57:52,090 --> 00:57:54,057
He starts to scream
about the weather,
1030
00:57:54,059 --> 00:57:58,027
what he ate, where he went,
cash he spent.
1031
00:57:58,029 --> 00:57:59,062
He's talking about he was--
1032
00:57:59,064 --> 00:58:00,230
¶ Uptown baby ¶
1033
00:58:00,232 --> 00:58:02,499

that was too funny.

00:58:34,232 --> 00:58:36,799
Anyway, who knows?
1048
00:58:36,801 --> 00:58:39,269
Maybe Freddie did go
to the city.
1049
00:58:39,271 --> 00:58:41,671
I sure hope Aunt Dee has some
1050
00:58:41,673 --> 00:58:44,073
of her prayer power
left over for me.
1051
00:58:48,847 --> 00:58:50,747

number (beatboxing).

Number seven is located
on the right middle back.
1057

This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
1058
00:59:16,641 --> 00:59:18,174
The course of the
projectile is through
1059
00:59:18,176 --> 00:59:20,910
the subcutaneous tissue
of the right middle back.
1060
00:59:20,912 --> 00:59:22,946
The bullet does not
enter the chest.
1061
00:59:22,948 --> 00:59:26,115
This is a non-fatal gunshot
wound to the right middle back.

about this spot?
1064
00:59:30,855 --> 00:59:32,155
- Yeah, girl, that's where I got
1065
00:59:32,157 --> 00:59:34,657

know mine's hot.

My cousin says you got skills.
1070
00:59:42,901 --> 00:59:44,267
You got a problem with that?
1071

What?
1077
01:00:05,857 --> 01:00:09,659
That's all I got, then let
me get 25, I'll pay you back.
1078
01:00:09,661 --> 01:00:10,727
- You ain't got no job.
1079
01:00:10,729 --> 01:00:12,195
- I know I ain't got no job.
1080
01:00:12,197 --> 01:00:14,964
You don't have to bust me
out in front of people.
1081
01:00:14,966 --> 01:00:16,299
Just do me this favor.
1082
01:00:16,301 --> 01:00:18,868
I'll get you back
just like I got
1083
01:00:18,870 --> 01:00:21,137
your back last month,
don't front.
1084
01:00:24,409 --> 01:00:27,210
All right, let's see
what you can do.
1085
01:00:29,147 --> 01:00:32,148
Hold up, wait, is it gonna hurt?
1086
01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:33,650
- Do pigs like dirt?
1087
01:00:33,652 --> 01:00:36,052
- That's funny, but
for real though?
1088
01:00:36,054 --> 01:00:38,955
- Tiny pieces of fire tapping
your skin, but then numb.
1089
01:00:40,025 --> 01:00:41,424
- That'll work.
1090
01:00:41,426 --> 01:00:42,358
All right.
1091
01:00:43,361 --> 01:00:44,427
Begin.
1092
01:00:44,429 --> 01:00:48,097
(sweeping dramatic music)
1093
01:00:52,437 --> 01:00:57,240
She was powerful, beautiful,
and smart, like me.
1094
01:00:57,242 --> 01:01:00,810
Her name means the
beautiful woman has come.
1095
01:01:00,812 --> 01:01:01,811
I'm here.
1096
01:01:06,351 --> 01:01:08,351
I'm putting her there
because only kings get
1097
01:01:08,353 --> 01:01:11,287
to see the queen,
know what I mean?
1098
01:01:11,289 --> 01:01:13,156
(Tattoo Artist laughs)
1099
01:01:13,158 --> 01:01:16,826
Trust, it'll be the last
time you see her.
1100
01:01:16,828 --> 01:01:20,296
(sweeping dramatic music)
1101
01:01:25,804 --> 01:01:29,272
I told Uncle Darnell I was
thinking of getting a tattoo.
1102
01:01:29,274 --> 01:01:30,707
He says--
1103
01:01:30,709 --> 01:01:33,009
- A tattoo ain't
nothing but a scar.
1104
01:01:33,011 --> 01:01:36,112
Now you can get a scar if
you want from me for free.
1105
01:01:36,114 --> 01:01:38,448
The pain will be the same,
it just won't take as long.
1106
01:01:39,884 --> 01:01:43,786
- Then he starts going
into one of his blackouts.
1107
01:01:43,788 --> 01:01:46,823
- You would have never
made it as no slave.
1108
01:01:46,825 --> 01:01:50,727
- It'll be 100 degrees, IE heat,
1109
01:01:50,729 --> 01:01:53,996
and if I forget and say, "Man,
it's hot."
1110
01:01:55,867 --> 01:01:58,134
- You would have never
made it as no slave.
1111
01:01:58,136 --> 01:02:00,470
This ain't nothing,
but dry heat.
1112
01:02:00,472 --> 01:02:03,740
Now down South, they got
that humid heat,
1113
01:02:03,742 --> 01:02:06,342
plus the master wasn't
giving you much to eat.
1114
01:02:06,344 --> 01:02:08,377
- [Myeisha] I get me
some new tennis shoes.
1115
01:02:08,379 --> 01:02:11,914
- You would have never
made it as no slave.
1116
01:02:11,916 --> 01:02:13,850
They didn't even have shoes.
1117
01:02:13,852 --> 01:02:15,785
You'd just be stepping, stepping
1118
01:02:15,787 --> 01:02:18,821
with your bare feet on
the hard concrete.
1119

1122
01:02:26,765 --> 01:02:28,898
lame hip hop to prove
he was cool.
1123
01:02:28,900 --> 01:02:30,500
Even when I did something right,
1124
01:02:30,502 --> 01:02:32,001
like help him move our couch.
1125
01:02:32,003 --> 01:02:33,336
- You would have never
made it as no slave.
1126
01:02:33,338 --> 01:02:34,421
- Now why?
1127
01:02:34,422 --> 01:02:35,505
- Don't you know that
once you show
1128
01:02:35,507 --> 01:02:37,273
them how hard you could work,
1129
01:02:37,275 --> 01:02:39,108
that's how hard you would work.
1130
01:02:39,110 --> 01:02:41,544
- So, I dropped the couch.

This is a typical distant

The course of the projectile
is through the skin

and soft tissue of the
right lower back,
1139
01:03:20,018 --> 01:03:22,952
perforating and fracturing
the third lumbar vertebrae.

01:03:22,954 --> 01:03:26,189
This is a non-fatal gunshot
wound to the right lower back.

- [Nurse] Next.
1142
01:03:28,075 --> 01:03:29,958
- They found my C in
junior high.
1143
01:03:29,961 --> 01:03:31,427
There was a screening one day
1144
01:03:31,429 --> 01:03:33,496
that seemed to be pretty benign.
1145
01:03:33,498 --> 01:03:36,032
They drew a line, we
stood in line.
1146
01:03:36,034 --> 01:03:37,533
They took a look at our spine.
1147
01:03:40,538 --> 01:03:42,572
A few days later came a
letter in the mail
1148
01:03:42,574 --> 01:03:44,540
saying I needed further testing.
1149
01:03:44,542 --> 01:03:47,043
After X-rays, the doctor
says he didn't
1150
01:03:47,045 --> 01:03:49,445
like the way my spine
was resting.
1151
01:03:49,447 --> 01:03:50,880
The diagnosis--
1152
01:03:50,882 --> 01:03:52,548
- Scoliosis.
1153
01:03:54,419 --> 01:03:59,355
- [Myeisha] A lower C curve,
not like Becca, who had an S.
1154
01:03:59,357 --> 01:04:02,625
Hers was an internal swerve.
1155
01:04:02,627 --> 01:04:07,296
Told I had to wear a plastic
brace for two years in my case.
1156
01:04:07,298 --> 01:04:12,235
This thing went all the way
from my chest down to my waist.
1157
01:04:12,237 --> 01:04:15,204
I'd have to be encased in
this brace to prevent improper
1158
01:04:15,206 --> 01:04:18,474
alignment since I didn't
embrace the exercises
1159
01:04:18,476 --> 01:04:20,643
the doctor gave me as
my assignment.
1160
01:04:20,645 --> 01:04:22,411
- [Doctor] This
exercise aims to align
1161
01:04:22,413 --> 01:04:24,647
the spine and activate
underused muscles.
1162
01:04:24,649 --> 01:04:27,383
Stand next to an elevated
bench so that the edge
1163
01:04:27,385 --> 01:04:29,418
of the bench is near your hip.
1164
01:04:29,420 --> 01:04:32,021
The leg that is on the
same side as the thoracic
1165
01:04:32,023 --> 01:04:34,423
and cavity should be
pressed against the bench.
1166
01:04:34,425 --> 01:04:37,059
Lean to the side over the
bench and bring up your leg
1167
01:04:37,061 --> 01:04:39,262
to form a straight line
with your body.
1168
01:04:39,264 --> 01:04:40,596
The foot should point up.
1169
01:04:40,598 --> 01:04:43,032
- Since I didn't
embrace the exercises
1170
01:04:43,034 --> 01:04:46,168
the doctor gave me as
my assignment, I have
1171
01:04:46,170 --> 01:04:49,505
to be encased in this brace
to prevent improper alignment.
1172
01:04:50,541 --> 01:04:52,141
Told I was going to
have to wear it
1173
01:04:52,143 --> 01:04:55,278
for two years straight,
eighth grade and ninth.
1174
01:04:56,447 --> 01:05:00,316
The first year wasn't
too bad, but the second,
1175
01:05:00,318 --> 01:05:01,984
we were going to have a fight.
1176
01:05:03,087 --> 01:05:06,389
Ninth grade, first year
of high school,
1177
01:05:07,625 --> 01:05:09,358
now you know that wasn't cool.
1178
01:05:10,561 --> 01:05:12,995
I wasn't about to show
up as no freshman looking
1179
01:05:12,997 --> 01:05:17,199
like no fresh fool, like
some kind of a geek,
1180
01:05:17,201 --> 01:05:22,338
like some kind of a freak,
all grotesque.
1181
01:05:22,340 --> 01:05:25,474
Whole year and a half where
I got my second base chest.
1182
01:05:26,511 --> 01:05:29,345
So I was like, "Forget it."
1183
01:05:30,615 --> 01:05:33,049
I figured I might as well just
1184
01:05:33,051 --> 01:05:36,052
take the chance, take the risk.
1185
01:05:36,054 --> 01:05:39,689
I mean worst thing that could
happen to me I guess will be
1186
01:05:39,691 --> 01:05:44,327
that I'd have some back pain
when I got real old, like 56.
1187
01:05:46,497 --> 01:05:50,299
Worst thing I guess,
back pain at 56.

01:06:46,391 --> 01:06:49,525
- If you know me, you
know I wasn't one
1204
01:06:49,527 --> 01:06:51,694
of the early bloomers
like my cousin.
1205
01:06:53,031 --> 01:06:56,499
Until I was 16, it
seemed like "A" was gonna
1206
01:06:56,501 --> 01:06:59,301
be the only letter that
my bra ever saw.
1207
01:07:00,705 --> 01:07:04,640
Clever Ricky and his friends
got to calling me Manchester.
1208
01:07:06,044 --> 01:07:08,444
Want to know what I called
their sorry behinds?
1209
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:10,413
Never mind.
1210
01:07:11,349 --> 01:07:16,218
But then I turned 16, and bam.
1211
01:07:16,220 --> 01:07:21,290
I mean boom, I mean pow, I
mean wow, I gots mine, see?
1212
01:07:23,694 --> 01:07:27,329
Second base all in your face.
1213
01:07:27,331 --> 01:07:31,600
Now it wasn't like I was
easy or fast or loose,
1214
01:07:31,602 --> 01:07:34,203
but that don't mean I didn't
let loose when I let loose.
1215
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,708
I guess if I wanted to, I could
tell you that I'm a virgin,
1216
01:07:39,710 --> 01:07:41,844
but that wouldn't be the
honest version.
1217
01:07:43,214 --> 01:07:45,548
Waited til I was 16 though.
1218
01:07:45,550 --> 01:07:47,416
(beatboxing)
1219
01:07:48,786 --> 01:07:53,722
I didn't even know if we were
doing it right, no lights.
1220
01:07:55,526 --> 01:07:58,194
Dontrey kept talking about
how the time was right,
1221
01:07:59,230 --> 01:08:01,230
how he was the last
one of his boys
1222
01:08:01,232 --> 01:08:03,199
in line, how that wasn't right.
1223
01:08:04,802 --> 01:08:08,671
Thing was, Dontrey was fine.
1224
01:08:08,673 --> 01:08:11,707
(beatboxing)
1225
01:08:11,709 --> 01:08:16,412
And when we did it, we
did it all night long.
1226
01:08:16,414 --> 01:08:18,647
¶ Until the break of dawn ¶
1227
01:08:18,649 --> 01:08:21,784
- Well, at least that's
Dontrey's version.
1228
01:08:21,786 --> 01:08:24,553
Let's just say that dawn
came with a quickness.
1229
01:08:24,555 --> 01:08:26,255
Can I get a witness?
1230
01:08:26,257 --> 01:08:28,891
(rooster crows)
1231
01:08:28,893 --> 01:08:30,459
But it was still all right.
1232
01:08:32,196 --> 01:08:33,395
It was still all right.
1233
01:08:34,899 --> 01:08:40,169
Mouth was slightly open,
eyes were closed,
1234
01:08:41,539 --> 01:08:46,609
breathing shallow, lips
quivering, body shaking.
1235
01:08:47,345 --> 01:08:49,745
(beatboxing)
1236
01:08:52,884 --> 01:08:57,253
Dontrey liked my lips and
he dug my hips,
1237
01:08:59,357 --> 01:09:04,426
but yes, I must confess,
he loved my chest.
1238
01:09:05,796 --> 01:09:09,265
Good guess, he was a breast man.
1239
01:09:09,267 --> 01:09:13,669
And at 16, like I said,
I had the best man.
1240
01:09:15,206 --> 01:09:19,408
Forget the rest, come caress,
why settle for less, man?
1241
01:09:20,578 --> 01:09:23,646
Just stop right there,
do not touch the hair.
1242
01:09:27,852 --> 01:09:32,521
At 16, stopped wondering,
found out for sure.
1243
01:09:33,724 --> 01:09:37,193
At 17, stopped accepting
and started wanting more.
1244
01:09:38,396 --> 01:09:42,865
At 18, declared myself
a woman, grown, mature.
1245
01:09:44,235 --> 01:09:48,270
At 19 awaiting 20,
knocking on heaven's door.
1246
01:09:49,440 --> 01:09:52,875
Awaiting 20, a weight
in 20, I wait for 20.
1247
01:09:54,645 --> 01:09:58,380
At 16, stopped wondering,
found out for sure.
1248
01:09:58,382 --> 01:10:01,650
At 17, stopped accepting
and started wanting more.
1249
01:10:01,652 --> 01:10:05,254
At 18, declared myself
a woman, grown, mature.
1250
01:10:06,424 --> 01:10:09,625
At 19 awaiting 20,
knocking on heaven's door.
1251
01:10:09,627 --> 01:10:11,227
(gunshot fires)
1252
01:10:11,229 --> 01:10:13,529
- At 20, a teenager no more,
grown.
1253
01:10:13,531 --> 01:10:15,564
I'm going to learn to moan.
1254
01:10:15,566 --> 01:10:18,634
At 20, a teenager no more,
grown.
1255
01:10:18,636 --> 01:10:20,669
I'm going to learn to moan.
1256
01:10:20,671 --> 01:10:22,238
But sounds like 20's
out of reach
1257
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:23,405
and I'm running out of time.
1258
01:10:24,575 --> 01:10:26,775
Half a dozen on one
hand, six on the other,
1259
01:10:26,777 --> 01:10:29,511
figure of speech and I'm
running out of rhyme.
1260
01:10:29,513 --> 01:10:33,916
Seems like a crime to waste
all that I bring to the table.
1261
01:10:33,918 --> 01:10:36,885
So why don't we agree to
make this tale a fable?
1262
01:10:36,887 --> 01:10:39,455
Let's agree to make
this tale a fable.
1263
01:10:39,457 --> 01:10:42,491
Seems like a crime to waste
all that I bring to the table.
1264
01:10:42,493 --> 01:10:44,893
So why don't we agree to
make this tale a fable?
1265
01:10:46,897 --> 01:10:49,265
¶ Once upon a time in the
Inland Empire ¶
1266
01:10:49,267 --> 01:10:51,634
¶ There lived a young girl
who wanted to spit fire ¶
1267
01:10:51,636 --> 01:10:54,003
¶ There lived a young
girl, wanted to spit fire ¶
1268
01:10:54,005 --> 01:10:56,639
¶ There lived a young girl ¶
1269
01:10:56,641 --> 01:10:59,441
(ominous music)
1270
01:11:03,848 --> 01:11:06,315
Why don't we agree to
make this tale a fable?
1271
01:11:07,618 --> 01:11:11,920
Then if you're able, if you
can, if it's not too much
1272
01:11:13,424 --> 01:11:17,493
to ask, when they finish
singing you happy 19th birthday,
1273
01:11:18,696 --> 01:11:22,598
before you make your wish
and blow, put a candle
1274
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,366
on the cake for me to
add to the glow.
1275
01:11:25,569 --> 01:11:28,904
Close your eyes and wish
that what you're seeing
1276
01:11:28,906 --> 01:11:31,740
ain't nothing but a dream
fable, and I'm gonna
1277
01:11:31,742 --> 01:11:35,477
wake up, 19 at your
birthday table.
1278
01:11:51,495 --> 01:11:53,095
Close your eyes and wish
that what you're
1279
01:11:53,097 --> 01:11:55,431
seeing ain't nothing but
a dream fable.
1280
01:11:56,734 --> 01:12:00,436
And I'm going to wake up,
19 at your birthday table.
1281
01:12:06,010 --> 01:12:08,110
Put another candle on to
add to the glow.
1282
01:12:11,849 --> 01:12:16,752
Now, make your wish, and blow.
1283
01:12:17,822 --> 01:12:19,855
(blows)
1284
01:12:24,695 --> 01:12:26,795
- Jackson's mouth was
slightly open.
1285
01:12:26,797 --> 01:12:28,130
Her eyes were closed.
1286
01:12:28,132 --> 01:12:29,798
Her breathing appeared shallow.
1287
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,368
Her lips were quivering,
her body was shaking,
1288
01:12:32,370 --> 01:12:34,436
and there was a white
substance that was accumulating
1289
01:12:34,438 --> 01:12:35,904
around the sides of her mouth.
1290
01:12:37,408 --> 01:12:41,777
- At 19, knocking on
heaven's door.
1291
01:12:41,779 --> 01:12:42,778
- [Beatboxer] 10.
1292
01:12:42,780 --> 01:12:45,381
(beatboxing)
1293
01:12:50,955 --> 01:12:52,121
- The entrance to
gunshot number 10
1294
01:12:52,123 --> 01:12:54,556
is located on the left
upper forehead.
1295
01:12:54,558 --> 01:12:57,459
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
1296
01:12:57,461 --> 01:12:59,828
The course of the projectile
is through the skin
1297
01:12:59,830 --> 01:13:01,997
and soft tissue of the
left upper forehead,
1298
01:13:01,999 --> 01:13:04,833
entering into the cranium
through the left frontal bone,
1299
01:13:04,835 --> 01:13:07,136
through the left and right
frontal lobes of the brain,
1300
01:13:07,138 --> 01:13:09,605
through the right orbit,
perforating and rupturing
1301
01:13:09,607 --> 01:13:12,574
the right ocular globe, and
exiting the right orbit.
1302
01:13:12,576 --> 01:13:15,077
The direction of the
projectile is back to front,
1303
01:13:15,079 --> 01:13:18,113
left to right, and
downward 45 degrees.
1304
01:13:18,115 --> 01:13:21,450
This is a fatal distant
gunshot wound to the head.
1305
01:13:23,587 --> 01:13:25,554
¶ 11 ¶
1306
01:13:25,556 --> 01:13:27,856
(beatboxing)
1307
01:13:27,858 --> 01:13:30,058
- The entrance to gunshot
number 11 is located
1308
01:13:30,060 --> 01:13:33,128
above and behind the left ear
on the left side of the head.
1309
01:13:33,130 --> 01:13:36,131
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
1310
01:13:36,133 --> 01:13:39,001
The course of the projectile
is through the scalp,
1311
01:13:39,003 --> 01:13:42,070
entering into the cranium
through the left occipital bone,
1312
01:13:42,072 --> 01:13:44,006
perforating the left cerebellum,
1313
01:13:44,008 --> 01:13:46,074
perforating the pons of
the brain stem,
1314
01:13:46,076 --> 01:13:49,077
and penetrating into the
anterior base of the cranium.
1315
01:13:49,079 --> 01:13:52,214
This is a fatal distant
gunshot wound to the head.
1316
01:13:52,216 --> 01:13:53,916
¶ 12 ¶
1317
01:13:53,918 --> 01:13:56,518
(beatboxing)
1318
01:14:00,090 --> 01:14:01,824
- The entrance to
gunshot number 12
1319
01:14:01,826 --> 01:14:04,092
is located on the right
central back.
1320
01:14:04,094 --> 01:14:07,129
This is a typical distant
gunshot wound entrance.
1321
01:14:07,131 --> 01:14:09,898
The direction of the
projectile is back to front,
1322
01:14:09,900 --> 01:14:13,168
left to right, and slightly
upward three degrees.
1323
01:14:13,170 --> 01:14:15,170
This is a fatal distant
gunshot wound
1324
01:14:15,172 --> 01:14:17,739
to the chest, perforating
the right lung.
1325
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:24,880
¶ One to the chest,
one to the arm ¶

¶ One to the leg, one
to the neck ¶
1327

¶ One to the back, one
to the back ¶
1330
01:14:34,592 --> 01:14:37,526
- I bet you ain't seen no
female MC who's been shot
1331
01:14:37,528 --> 01:14:40,496
as many times as me,
not since Supersonic had
1332
01:14:40,498 --> 01:14:43,198
a female MC from the West,
put it down with the best.
1333
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,517
You know?
1334
01:14:45,518 --> 01:14:47,835
One of the Js, some JJ
Fad lives in the IE.
1335
01:14:47,838 --> 01:14:51,640
For a minute, I thought
about rapping in Pig Latin.
1336
01:14:51,642 --> 01:14:53,141
That ain't happening.
1337
01:14:53,143 --> 01:14:55,143
This is the key right here.
1338
01:14:55,145 --> 01:14:57,813
It's been a year since
they shot Biggie.
1339
01:14:57,815 --> 01:15:01,016
Since Tupac was killed,
it's been two.
1340
01:15:01,018 --> 01:15:04,253
It only makes sense that this
should happen to me right now.
1341
01:15:04,255 --> 01:15:08,891
I got to live, I'll be the best
female MC ever, too clever.
1342
01:15:10,294 --> 01:15:14,563
Before me, MCs only been shot
a couple of times and lived.
1343
01:15:14,565 --> 01:15:18,200
I got a dozen, and I'm
still spitting rhymes.
1344
01:15:18,202 --> 01:15:22,671
You can't stop me, this
is my time to shine.
1345
01:15:22,673 --> 01:15:24,239
¶ One to the chest,
one to the arm ¶

(beatboxing)
1350
01:15:38,822 --> 01:15:42,891
- The average person can hold
their breath 60 to 90 seconds.
1351
01:15:42,893 --> 01:15:45,827
The lungs take in
oxygen-enriched air first,
1352
01:15:45,829 --> 01:15:47,696
gets rid of carbon
dioxide second.
1353
01:15:48,766 --> 01:15:50,265
The average person
breathes in and out
1354
01:15:50,267 --> 01:15:53,302
15 to 25 times every 60 seconds.
1355
01:15:53,304 --> 01:15:56,004
Breath enters into the
nose and mouth first,
1356
01:15:56,006 --> 01:15:58,173
pharynx and larynx second.
1357
01:15:58,175 --> 01:15:59,741
There are two phases
to the process
1358
01:15:59,743 --> 01:16:04,179
of breathing, inspiration,
expiration.
1359
01:16:05,316 --> 01:16:10,586
- Creativity, release,
insight, conclusion,
1360
01:16:13,023 --> 01:16:18,093
inventiveness, completion,
ingenuity, closure,
1361
01:16:20,698 --> 01:16:25,767
imagination, exhalation,

1362
01:16:28,672 --> 01:16:33,742
