1
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.300
We'll be nominating Hubert Humphrey.

2
00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:29.980
Anything we can do to discourage them will be, I'm sure, wholeheartedly appreciated by

3
00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:30.980
the nation.

4
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.660
So if you can get across, make your voice heard, it might possibly have some effect.

5
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:41.360
Look, 25,000 American guys have been killed.

6
00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:43.380
These people should be at convenience.

7
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.640
Because they have permitted it.

8
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:46.600
They have allowed it.

9
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:48.620
And if they're on your side, they don't mind it.

10
00:00:48.620 --> 00:00:50.400
And if they're against you, then fuck them.

11
00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:54.320
Randolph Street branch is open.

12
00:00:54.580 --> 00:00:59.840
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

13
00:00:59.960 --> 00:00:59.960


14
00:00:59.960 --> 00:00:59.960


15
00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:10.320
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:10.320


17
00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:10.340
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

18
00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:10.460
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

19
00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:11.420
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

20
00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:18.280
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

21
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:25.500
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

22
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:59.920
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

23
00:01:59.920 --> 00:01:59.920

00:01:59.920 --> 00:01:59.920


25
00:01:59.920 --> 00:01:59.940
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

26
00:01:59.940 --> 00:01:59.940


27
00:01:59.940 --> 00:01:59.940


28
00:01:59.940 --> 00:01:59.940


29
00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:13.860
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

30
00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:17.940
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.180
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

33
00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:21.920
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

34
00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:21.920


35
00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:29.640
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

39
00:02:59.580 --> 00:02:59.600
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

40
00:02:59.600 --> 00:02:59.600


41
00:02:59.600 --> 00:02:59.600


42
00:02:59.600 --> 00:02:59.600


43
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:09.520
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

44
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.420
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

45
00:03:11.420 --> 00:03:11.640
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

46
00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:12.940
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

47
00:03:12.940 --> 00:03:20.660
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

48
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:33.820
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

49
00:03:33.820 --> 00:03:33.820


50
00:03:33.820 --> 00:03:34.060
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

51
00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:38.020
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

52
00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:43.880
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,

53
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.040
call up, people who've left their children and those who've stayed at home.

54
00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:05.260
They have their hours. What we did right now was try to set up some ground rules.

55
00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:13.860
They say we can go to 18 South Michigan and West on State and the 48 I received is a

56
00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:22.800
Now when we get there, they are trying to reach their communication to find out if we're

57
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.000
going to be stopped at that point.

58
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:33.440
Now, again I'm saying we have a legal right to go to my house.

59
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:43.220
Now if anybody gets arrested on their way to my house, that's a false arrest.

60
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.760
Now, we are going to pull out of here now.

61
00:04:52.420 --> 00:04:54.680
We're going to stay on the left side of the street.

62
00:04:56.220 --> 00:05:02.500
We're going to walk as slow as we can because the general has to let his troops know down

63
00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:08.520
the line that the art of daily gave him earlier ain't no good no more.

64
00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:14.500
Hold them there.

65
00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:17.980
Hold them there.

66
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.520
Okay, I left them just as they turned out.

67
00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:25.280
Stay in the line.

68
00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:29.720
Four breaths, four breaths.

69
00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:31.260
Keep moving.

70
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:32.080
Four breaths.

71
00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:33.020
Keep moving.

72
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.020
One six one, they are at twelve now.

73
00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:47.720
Ten four.

74
00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.720
You know what Dick Gregory looks like?

75
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.780
Gregory lives on in High Park.

76
00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:13.620
I think it's on 55th Street.

77
00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:23.040
If the march was to continue beyond 18th Street, it would be going right through the heart

78
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.300
of the black belt in Chicago, South Side of Chicago.

79
00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:36.680
They felt that this many people making, attracting, would attract quite a large number of black

80
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:43.300
people and they felt that perhaps, in my opinion, they felt that perhaps the march would swell

81
00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:47.300
and perhaps over 100,000 people would just growl, they feel that they could not control.

82
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:49.360
Okay lieutenant.

83
00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:54.180
Lieutenant, very slowly.

84
00:06:54.460 --> 00:06:54.820
That's good.

85
00:06:54.820 --> 00:06:55.140
That's good.

86
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.520
That's good.

87
00:07:01.140 --> 00:07:02.540
That's good.

88
00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:16.020
That's good.

89
00:07:22.380 --> 00:07:23.720
That's good.

90
00:07:34.700 --> 00:07:36.260
That's good.

91
00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:38.400
That's good.

92
00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:39.060
That's good.

93
00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:39.140
That's good.

94
00:07:39.140 --> 00:07:39.140


95
00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:39.300


96
00:07:39.940 --> 00:07:40.880
That's good.

97
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:40.880


98
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:40.880


99
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:41.600
That's good.

100
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:41.600


101
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:41.940
That's good.

102
00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:41.960
That's good.

103
00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:42.820
Thank you.

104
00:07:44.140 --> 00:07:47.460
Nice and peaceful and calm.

105
00:07:55.960 --> 00:07:57.980
Off for peace.

106
00:07:58.380 --> 00:07:58.940
Peace.

107
00:08:31.880 --> 00:08:36.560
We are on the way to my house, up on the sidewalk.

108
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.180
We have met the arrest situation once we step off the corner.

109
00:08:41.180 --> 00:08:45.360
I and the troops move back five feet.

110
00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:51.600
Now we're going to move across the street and at that point we'll meet the concentration.

111
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:54.060
Remember you're on your way to my house.

112
00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:54.700
Let's move it baby.

113
00:08:55.520 --> 00:09:02.640
There's not going to be no gas because when we walk across the street legally, then they're going to arrest us legally

114
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:05.180
and then I feel we got a false arrest suit.

115
00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:08.180
You are not on your way to a convention.

116
00:09:08.430 --> 00:09:12.470
You are on your way as a private citizen to my house.

117
00:09:17.110 --> 00:09:19.690
Now all of a sudden there's a whole bunch of people in front.

118
00:09:20.350 --> 00:09:22.290
I don't know who that whole bunch of people is.

119
00:09:22.710 --> 00:09:27.610
I think they ought to get away from in front because we're trying to do it so as to preserve head.

120
00:09:28.030 --> 00:09:29.790
Everybody agree on the idea of preserving head.

121
00:09:30.950 --> 00:09:32.530
We're not out to get clobbered.

122
00:09:32.650 --> 00:09:35.290
We're out to exercise our constitutional rights of protest.

123
00:09:36.150 --> 00:09:38.290
All you stalls just be cool.

124
00:09:57.290 --> 00:10:04.310
All who attempt to go any direction other than west will be subjected to arrest.

125
00:10:04.310 --> 00:10:08.850
Any other direction besides that direction you go to jail.

126
00:10:09.550 --> 00:10:12.510
Stand on the white line. Please stay over me on the white line.

127
00:10:13.850 --> 00:10:15.190
All stalls be cool.

128
00:10:17.950 --> 00:10:20.210
The disagree has been arrested.

129
00:10:20.990 --> 00:10:24.490
All delegates please. All delegates please.

130
00:10:25.710 --> 00:10:30.310
We have been told as delegates of the Democratic National Convention

131
00:10:31.950 --> 00:10:38.710
categorically that we cannot walk on our present course where we are taking this evening's stroll.

132
00:10:40.890 --> 00:10:44.310
We feel this is a violation of civil liberties.

133
00:10:45.890 --> 00:10:55.210
It is a refusal to respect our right as citizens to the streets, to free movement in this that is yet our America.

134
00:10:55.550 --> 00:10:57.650
If we want to go to jail, let's go to jail.

135
00:11:17.550 --> 00:11:21.690
I have to remember in our city we all have to have causes.

136
00:11:22.090 --> 00:11:29.670
Our main cause for two years in the convention business has been to struggle our way out of the potential losses.

137
00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:09.130
A high speed but temporary beautification program is underway in the dilapidated area surrounding Chicago's amphitheater.

138
00:12:09.810 --> 00:12:13.710
The grass along the highway on the main approach has been brightened with flowers.

139
00:12:14.370 --> 00:12:19.370
As delegates turn off the highway they'll see freshly painted aluminum cyclone fences.

140
00:12:19.890 --> 00:12:23.090
Coming up here to Pershing Road is where the barricades were.

141
00:12:23.170 --> 00:12:26.250
From that section on you had to have a pass to get into it.

142
00:12:26.470 --> 00:12:29.270
In other words the people who lived in there had to have these screens too.

143
00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:34.410
An undisclosed amount of money has been spent on redwood fences.

144
00:12:34.890 --> 00:12:43.050
They extend for miles along the routes the delegates will take, screening out the vacant lots, the debris, the impromptu playgrounds of the poor.

145
00:12:43.310 --> 00:12:53.150
In other words all the ice source, the lots were all the debris and all of that which in other words put the fence up to beautify the street.

146
00:12:53.570 --> 00:12:58.170
The redwood fences may remain, hiding the unfinished business of the city.

147
00:12:58.170 --> 00:13:00.390
The delegates will come and go.

148
00:13:01.030 --> 00:13:05.790
The people of the neighborhood will go back to things as they are and always have been.

149
00:13:06.030 --> 00:13:08.710
It's always the poor guy that nobody worries about.

150
00:13:09.350 --> 00:13:11.810
In other words it's just the way things are.

151
00:13:12.390 --> 00:13:16.610
You see it every day of the week. If you travel the city of Chicago you're bound to run into it.

152
00:13:17.030 --> 00:13:21.890
That's commercial. I doubt that y'all talk to these white folks about y'all, but y'all don't understand it.

153
00:13:22.090 --> 00:13:25.490
It's the same thing, man. That's what's wrong with black folks today.

154
00:13:25.490 --> 00:13:26.290
Talk around.

155
00:13:26.650 --> 00:13:27.570
Yeah, well let me write it down.

156
00:13:28.070 --> 00:13:29.290
Why are you not going to do it?

157
00:13:29.730 --> 00:13:34.450
Yeah, well I understand why a lot of people are going to talk in the first place about the things that are going on.

158
00:13:34.850 --> 00:13:41.430
Because they know that the white people are only here to find out black people's position on the thing.

159
00:13:41.550 --> 00:13:45.830
They're because they think that what's now the Democratic convention is only something that happened to white folks there.

160
00:13:46.150 --> 00:13:48.930
And the black people understand that this is something that's been happening to them for years there.

161
00:13:49.370 --> 00:13:54.130
A lot of brothers say this is another commercial thing. This is something they've been talking about for the last four years there.

162
00:13:54.130 --> 00:13:58.790
White people coming here now, they want to know what black people's feeling about the whole thing.

163
00:13:59.310 --> 00:14:07.250
Black people know what the thing is now. Black people, you know, at the point now, they don't give a fuck about rapping, nothing, nothing for action.

164
00:14:07.370 --> 00:14:10.550
They feel that the hunkies coming here, fuck with them, they better die here.

165
00:14:11.930 --> 00:14:15.930
And that's the simple reason now I've been standing here for ten minutes trying to get other brothers to talk.

166
00:14:16.290 --> 00:14:17.730
These other brothers don't want to talk no more.

167
00:14:17.730 --> 00:14:20.510
You're talking about the Democratic convention, you know.

168
00:14:20.630 --> 00:14:25.230
They whoop niggas down here every night and never nothing say, and y'all be telling me about Democrats.

169
00:14:25.450 --> 00:14:27.590
You know, y'all can take that down the street somewhere, man.

170
00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:33.290
Just later, later. Our biggest job is, you know, just getting our thing together. Later for whitey.

171
00:14:33.530 --> 00:14:39.710
They all grew up together. Right in this neighborhood here, all our life, me and him. All our life in this same neighborhood.

172
00:14:42.050 --> 00:14:44.550
I grew up in this neighborhood myself, you know that.

173
00:14:44.870 --> 00:14:46.670
You didn't grow up before we did.

174
00:14:46.670 --> 00:14:49.830
Yeah, I didn't grow up before you did, but I know the issues that's going on.

175
00:14:50.230 --> 00:14:54.870
Well, you know how rough it was when you grew up. Imagine what it was like when we grew up.

176
00:14:55.190 --> 00:14:58.070
Right on. I did that there, but I also know what's going on there.

177
00:14:58.210 --> 00:14:59.670
As far as the police, you know what's happening.

178
00:14:59.670 --> 00:15:03.510
You ever eat any powdered eggs? You ever eat any powdered eggs? You drink any powdered milk?

179
00:15:03.730 --> 00:15:06.290
No, no, I don't feed them. I don't feed them.

180
00:15:07.690 --> 00:15:08.510
Hey, please.

181
00:15:09.390 --> 00:15:13.470
You're talking about the police, Black, I keep telling you. You, uh, the police ain't y'all.

182
00:15:13.470 --> 00:15:18.270
Later for the police, man. The police, they got their jobs, that's their job, let them do it.

183
00:15:18.290 --> 00:15:22.530
But if you get your thing together, you ain't got to worry about no police action.

184
00:15:23.170 --> 00:15:25.390
People are under the impression that police are invincible.

185
00:15:25.590 --> 00:15:29.870
And you know that the police is this, that's it. When you say police is over.

186
00:15:31.850 --> 00:15:37.170
Later. It's, uh, we can, me and you get together and can be so strong and so, you know, blend in so well.

187
00:15:37.510 --> 00:15:38.850
Ain't nothing gonna bother us no way.

188
00:15:39.390 --> 00:15:44.390
I think I be worrying about the police, sir. We, man, these people know police jumping on niggas.

189
00:15:44.650 --> 00:15:47.950
These people know police beating them up and only, like you say, here they come now

190
00:15:47.950 --> 00:15:50.150
because some hunkers got jumped on at the Democratic convention.

191
00:15:51.990 --> 00:15:55.430
But the police, man, y'all, y'all overemphasize it. The police is a bunch of bros.

192
00:15:56.310 --> 00:15:59.270
A bunch of young, ignorant, patted boys that can't do no better.

193
00:15:59.430 --> 00:16:03.630
So they go out there and get on the job where they think they're gonna harass some Black dude. That's all.

194
00:16:04.450 --> 00:16:07.310
The average dude, you see a police, he must be some kind of sickness anyway

195
00:16:07.310 --> 00:16:10.970
because if he white, he can go out there and get a $15,000 a year job if he has something on the ball.

196
00:16:16.390 --> 00:16:21.890
Those are the things you, you, uh, you put up with.

197
00:16:22.030 --> 00:16:27.010
In other words, you just, in other words, you wanna, you seem to avoid all that.

198
00:16:27.030 --> 00:16:29.930
In other words, you're staying away from trouble. You don't wanna get in trouble.

199
00:16:29.990 --> 00:16:34.170
So you stay away from, uh, from that and you don't wanna be involved in it.

200
00:16:35.550 --> 00:16:38.490
You don't fuck with the police before we gonna fuck with you?

201
00:16:38.950 --> 00:16:40.130
You ain't gonna put that on me.

202
00:16:41.810 --> 00:16:43.070
You believe that, Free?

203
00:16:43.310 --> 00:16:44.950
Yeah, I believe it.

204
00:16:45.670 --> 00:16:49.350
Because if this is another man, I'll shoot that damn dude.

205
00:16:50.310 --> 00:16:55.090
You ever seen the police come around and crack Black people's head for no reason at all? You haven't ever seen that, huh?

206
00:16:55.370 --> 00:16:57.210
Because I only got hit upside my head.

207
00:16:58.150 --> 00:17:00.010
What you doing in there saying that you be hit upside your head?

208
00:17:00.010 --> 00:17:00.590
What's wrong?

209
00:17:01.850 --> 00:17:03.650
You didn't have to hit me.

210
00:17:05.030 --> 00:17:08.730
Have you seen Black people get hit upside their head and wasn't doing anything that you felt that was wrong?

211
00:17:09.110 --> 00:17:12.770
I have seen that.

212
00:17:14.390 --> 00:17:18.810
If a motherfucker don't take care of himself, he a dumb, mother.

213
00:17:20.150 --> 00:17:21.490
Yeah, you dig?

214
00:17:22.990 --> 00:17:24.710
Check out your own self.

215
00:17:25.870 --> 00:17:27.270
That's all you got to do.

216
00:17:27.270 --> 00:17:30.290
Am I driving?

217
00:17:31.410 --> 00:17:36.350
You know, the only thing I said there, you know, I've seen the police crack a lot of people's heads for no reason at all.

218
00:17:36.970 --> 00:17:42.350
You have cracked a lot of people's heads for no reason at all when we was growing up.

219
00:17:43.030 --> 00:17:43.430
Remember?

220
00:17:43.770 --> 00:17:45.450
Yeah, well, that was a different time.

221
00:17:45.650 --> 00:17:48.970
Okay, now I'm telling you, now it's still the same thing.

222
00:17:49.310 --> 00:17:51.970
But I'm talking about the police, you know, cracking people's heads.

223
00:17:51.970 --> 00:17:56.050
What you care about the police? You didn't care about them? Hey, man, I'm not nobody's...

224
00:17:56.050 --> 00:17:57.730
Sorry, man, I'm playing for Saturday.

225
00:18:02.490 --> 00:18:08.030
See, Black people have been demonstrating and going on for I don't know how long.

226
00:18:10.650 --> 00:18:13.410
And, you know, we've been getting our heads beaten, whatnot.

227
00:18:13.490 --> 00:18:17.870
We knew what was going to happen when those folks went down there because we have seen the pigs on the scene.

228
00:18:18.170 --> 00:18:20.750
We know what he's like. We know what he's capable of.

229
00:18:20.990 --> 00:18:24.950
Just being a damn pig, oinking and beating, and walking the streets.

230
00:18:24.950 --> 00:18:27.490
I'm sick of these damn pigs walking our streets.

231
00:18:28.750 --> 00:18:31.890
And so everybody gets uptight when a few hunkies get their heads beat.

232
00:18:32.310 --> 00:18:34.270
What did they do when we was getting our heads beaten?

233
00:18:34.450 --> 00:18:36.610
So I don't even want to deal with why they got their heads beaten.

234
00:18:36.790 --> 00:18:40.230
No damn walker reporting up, whatever else that's going on.

235
00:18:40.450 --> 00:18:43.250
I just want to deal with Black and Black liberation.

236
00:18:43.810 --> 00:18:47.090
My scene is picking up my damn gun, and I'm a mother.

237
00:18:47.830 --> 00:18:52.950
Have my baby in one hand, my gun in the other, and walking up to some hunkie, all hunkies,

238
00:18:53.130 --> 00:18:56.250
saying, I'm here, motherfucker, to get what's mine.

239
00:18:59.070 --> 00:19:05.070
You know, like all over the city of Chicago, each person like Black Power is doing their own thing,

240
00:19:05.250 --> 00:19:07.650
and the Irish Power, whatever you want to call it, you know.

241
00:19:08.130 --> 00:19:10.030
We're all people, and all poor folks.

242
00:19:11.670 --> 00:19:16.670
And like the Democratic convention, you know, and they're shortening their bill of sticks and that,

243
00:19:16.750 --> 00:19:19.770
and they seem, you know, they didn't care what kind of person you was.

244
00:19:20.070 --> 00:19:21.350
They worked on you with that thing.

245
00:19:21.350 --> 00:19:25.350
We realized, the whole us, like Durlein, all realized we in the same boat.

246
00:19:25.410 --> 00:19:27.450
Power flows from the barrel of a gun.

247
00:19:29.010 --> 00:19:32.630
Did you feel that something had to be done about daily before the Democratic convention?

248
00:19:32.730 --> 00:19:33.430
That's right, man, that's right.

249
00:19:33.770 --> 00:19:37.410
When he put out that shoot, when he put out that shoot to kill, man, the man that just done got power mad.

250
00:19:37.910 --> 00:19:41.110
He just done still done got so much power, man, he worse than Hitler.

251
00:19:41.890 --> 00:19:44.810
I said to him very emphatically and very definitely,

252
00:19:46.090 --> 00:19:49.410
that an order be issued immediately under his signature,

253
00:19:51.270 --> 00:19:53.210
to shoot to kill any arsonist.

254
00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:57.570
Sure, everybody get a gun and go down the street and every dark one you see, shoot.

255
00:19:57.630 --> 00:19:59.390
You know what I mean? They're all evil.

256
00:19:59.610 --> 00:20:05.010
But after it kind of calmed down and everything else, why, there was a different story to them.

257
00:20:05.250 --> 00:20:11.370
To shoot the main or cripple, anyone looting, any stores in our city.

258
00:20:11.370 --> 00:20:16.130
Isn't he after all the men who coined the phrase, good government is good politics?

259
00:20:16.670 --> 00:20:17.570
He does believe it.

260
00:20:17.790 --> 00:20:25.350
And he thinks good government includes the suppression of leftist dissent.

261
00:20:25.570 --> 00:20:29.530
When they had this convention, about three of them thought, you know,

262
00:20:29.590 --> 00:20:31.750
when they put out that shoot to kill order, you know what I'm saying?

263
00:20:32.290 --> 00:20:35.650
So his colleagues come up and told him, look here man, you got to modify this thing.

264
00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:37.970
So he goes and modify it, but it still mean the same thing.

265
00:20:37.970 --> 00:20:41.810
So when they had this convention, they said this is my city and you all can't do what you all going to do.

266
00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:44.730
So he figured that these black brothers is going to start some of these things.

267
00:20:44.830 --> 00:20:46.750
So he gets these boys all hyped up, you understand?

268
00:20:46.950 --> 00:20:48.810
You know, like you're going to be playing football or something like that.

269
00:20:48.890 --> 00:20:52.470
You know how the coach keeps coaching Italians, he says, well look at that, we got to do this and we got to do that.

270
00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:57.850
So naturally, this convention comes, but there ain't no black folks, they don't care who's there.

271
00:20:57.950 --> 00:20:59.670
They going to whip somebody, they got to whip somebody.

272
00:20:59.870 --> 00:21:04.370
You said the police was there, the police, all this military force was there for the black people there.

273
00:21:04.410 --> 00:21:07.450
That's right, man. But we was cool. We laid dead.

274
00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:08.690
We going to dig and see what happened.

275
00:21:09.270 --> 00:21:12.470
But the police, they got to whip somebody because they fired up.

276
00:21:12.490 --> 00:21:14.570
They just got to whip somebody. They don't care who they whip.

277
00:21:14.870 --> 00:21:17.010
And when the white folks dig, they say, look here baby.

278
00:21:17.430 --> 00:21:20.730
They tell this, look here baby, you done fucked up because you whipping my kids.

279
00:21:21.270 --> 00:21:23.130
But now you whipping them black folks, it's a shame.

280
00:21:23.190 --> 00:21:28.390
I don't want to, we wouldn't like to see you do it, but you done fucked up now, dad, because you done whipped my kids, baby.

281
00:21:28.390 --> 00:21:29.170
That's my man.

282
00:21:29.550 --> 00:21:31.830
He has studied, lawyers, doctors and so on and so forth.

283
00:21:32.650 --> 00:21:35.870
And these middle class, booze wild folks, they going to college, they ain't got dough.

284
00:21:35.870 --> 00:21:39.230
They folks got dough. People like us, we ain't got no dough.

285
00:21:39.510 --> 00:21:43.550
If we go to college, we got to go on athletic scholarships and so on and so forth.

286
00:21:44.010 --> 00:21:45.250
So what did he do, dad?

287
00:21:45.530 --> 00:21:47.030
They said, well, this is my kind of dude.

288
00:21:47.290 --> 00:21:49.730
He blocked off a whole neighborhood now.

289
00:21:49.850 --> 00:21:51.330
And people live there, they can't raise their money.

290
00:21:51.390 --> 00:21:52.870
It's hot. They can't raise their money.

291
00:21:53.030 --> 00:21:54.070
What kind of shit is that?

292
00:21:55.150 --> 00:21:56.430
You know this, man, don't you?

293
00:21:57.810 --> 00:22:01.110
I just want to see how far, you know, your ideas are.

294
00:22:01.110 --> 00:22:02.070
I know these ain't hard.

295
00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:05.710
See, right here is the anthem theater, right in here.

296
00:22:05.910 --> 00:22:08.050
All along here, and all these streets were blocked off.

297
00:22:08.090 --> 00:22:10.730
These are the little businesses that were complaining that couldn't get,

298
00:22:10.990 --> 00:22:12.770
in other words, they couldn't get in there too.

299
00:22:13.050 --> 00:22:17.070
After all, the success of the city is based on the total input.

300
00:22:17.310 --> 00:22:22.150
And conventions are valuable to the city basically for two reasons.

301
00:22:22.270 --> 00:22:23.930
One, of course, they bring money to the city,

302
00:22:23.950 --> 00:22:28.510
but also there's a fantastic exchange of ideas that occur at a convention.

303
00:22:32.070 --> 00:22:34.770
Hey, hey, hey!

304
00:22:34.970 --> 00:22:42.490
Come on, let's go!

305
00:22:43.030 --> 00:22:43.390
Come on!

306
00:22:44.110 --> 00:22:45.070
Come on!

307
00:22:46.290 --> 00:22:47.050
Come on!

308
00:22:47.050 --> 00:22:48.810
Come on!

309
00:22:48.810 --> 00:22:49.690
Come on!

310
00:22:49.730 --> 00:22:50.030
Come on!

311
00:22:50.030 --> 00:22:50.030


312
00:22:50.030 --> 00:22:51.490
Hey, hey!

313
00:22:51.990 --> 00:22:52.970
Come on!

314
00:22:54.130 --> 00:22:54.890
Hey!

315
00:22:55.850 --> 00:22:57.690
What are you doing?

316
00:22:57.890 --> 00:22:58.590
What did I do?
