  • Jerry Ballesteros is a retired Senior Lead, and CRASH Officer for the LAPD who patrolled Newton division in the 90s. He’s a community-first policeman who gets respect by leading with respect. Today he consults on Hollywood projects, making sure things portrayed on the screen reflect the reality he knows so well. Donte “Bojangles” Johnson is a community organizer and managing director of Slauson Rec, a recreational center and theatre company located on the Eastside of South Central Los Angeles helping people in the community use art as a means of expression. Bo co-founded the organization with Shia LeBeouf after they met during Bo’s first acting role in David Ayer’s The Tax Collector.

    Love Jon. Huge fan of him as an actor for a long time. Waking dead, punisher, ming Richard, Ford V Ferrari. Dude does it all. Also a class act in real life and has lots of wisdom. Love this dude.

    Look to these two men if you want to see empathy in action. Really enjoyed their authentic conversation. I also appreciate how Jon asks “what was that like” or “tell me about that” and then lets his guests tell their story. Powerful stuff!

    I'm a retired police officer from London 1981 - 2001 and just like Jerry said when it became personal it became dangerous. It is a professional
    job with laws, regulations and standard operating procedures. We're paid to follow those rules, criminals are not and sometimes the guilty will
    get away. That doesn't mean you may cheat next time. Just like in the game of poker, it's doomed to end in violence.
    P.S. Big fan of Jon's from The Punisher, Hot One's, DD and Walking Dead. In that order.

    Kudos to Jon as a moderator and to whoever edits these! Both guys got a really fair, equal amount of talking time here, I felt, and that's - in principle and in practice - a difficult but crucial thing to do! Great stuff!

    This is one of my favorite podcast episodes of all time. This is what it's supposed to be. Jon lets his guests talk. Brining people from different sides of life to essentially agree to disagree but still see each others as humans is remarkable. Being able to recognize the different between the police as an institution versus the individual is critical if we don't want the future of policing to essentially be a civilian military.

    They don't hold the same values one is a cop the other one said he doesn't trust the police. The thing about police is you can meet 3 good ones but on that 4th meeting and you get the one that has something to prove and you have a bad experience. That guy ruined it for the other 3 guys that were good

  • @briterry4961
    @briterry4961 Рік тому +2

    Gangs are a product of survival. You put groups of disenfranchised minorities together and limit their resources wth do you think will happen? If you've ever read Lord of the Flies or been apart of any society, or comprehend politics, ect. you'd know that tribalism and competition for resources is pretty much every species' nature. America enslaved black ppl for 400 years and they've been trying to pull themselves up by the boot straps ever since. It's a sick system we have and the playing field is far from leveled. I appreciate the constructive discourse. However, the difference in these two gentlemen's stories is one could quit his job, take off the uniform and live a relatively less stressed life. The other was born into a life as narrowly inescapable as the cops he had to run from.

  • @eddycd24
    @eddycd24 2 роки тому +1

    And the cops never find anything. They think they know what's going on because of a few rats, but they have zero idea. Fucking zero. I've known many guys in my small town of 30k that have made millions of the radar. Again, early 2000s.

  • @richie6905

    Coming from someone from the south central WATTS area growing up In the 90’s.
    I feel like although the cop is legitimately empathetic and remorseful for the way policing was done during his tenure, he likely downplayed his own involvement in these tactics and separated himself from what was going on. Not discounting his experiences and what he went through, as I also recognize that his life was also constantly in danger.
