100 Blocks

- I lived in Oakland California my whole life.

Apparently it isn't anything like it use to be.

I'm starting to feel like no one ever makes it

out of here.

It's hard to stay motivated when you ain't got

shit to look forward to.

That's why I always looked up to the big homie Jaleel,

he's always done what he has to do in these streets

but ain't never let the streets define him.

He always saying "I ain't gone hustle forever."

He gonna be the one that make it out of the hood,

and I'm a be just like him.

D, what's up with it bruh?

Shit, I need your help bruh?

What's good?

How much dough you got?

-D, you know I'm finna dip in a minute,

I ain't even been doing to much.

-I know, I know, how much money you got bruh?

How much you need?

-I got thirty, I'm finna go pick up twenty

from Wayne plus yo fifty, man.

-Fifty (sighing) bruh, that's damn near all I got.

I'm gone flip it, bruh,

you know me.

You know how I get down bruh?

-You gone have to fill me in bruh.

-You know I'm not about to do that over this horn bruh,

you know that.

Meet me over there on MLK at the li'l spot man,

you know where I'm at.

Aight bet.

- I mean on one hand I can understand,

but at the same time tho, I couldn't believe he was willing

to gamble his life savings on a possibility.

-Shit, bruh look, I called you cause you and Moe

are the only niggas I can count on.

-Bruh you already know, but what's up with this fifty tho?

-Man, these Asians coming down here from L.A.

Hey man with that super black, I'm talking

about super cheap, super cheap bruh.

When you start selling H?

-Right now, right now, soon as you give me the money.

-Man I don't know D, blood this is my last you feel me.

-I understand all that, understand all that,

but with that you can get some more, and with the twenty

Moe going to get and the fifty you got, bruh,

I'm telling you that's well over two and maybe even some

and you can do your pull ups, get your weight bench

and if there's anywhere you want you can place them thangs

anywhere you want to on this earth man

if you do this.

That shit sound good.

-And maybe I'll even come with you.

-Nigga knock it off, knock that shit off boi,

you know you ain't leaving the town.

-I know that, I told a li'l bitch that last night.

She said the exact same thing, y'all think y'all know me,

you know me but that bitch don't.

Shit, I know yo ass lying.

Ahhh, you got that.

Look tho, it's in here bruh.

-Come on man, those words ain't gotta come out your mouth

and you ain't gotta finish your sentence man.

I ain't gone say no more then.

-You already know, nigga love you for that.

Love you too boi.

I already know.

Let me get up outta here man,

I gotta hop in the shower.

-I wasn't even gone say nothing,

but your better not go to yo bitch smelling like that.

Nigga knock that shit off.

-Better smell like me nigga, do you hear me man,

you better go crazy.

Boi you crazy.

-Call me nigga, love you for that.

I'm a hit you in a second.

You already know.

- I can understand cause D is his best friend

but to give up all of your dough, that's crazy.

Hello!

-What's up blood, yeah I'm over here.

Nigga say he ain't got them stacks tho.

What!

I'm on my way, man.

-Shit, nigga, what's the move, what you want me to do?

-I'm on my way bruh, I'm on my way man.

Aight.

We sliding?

Nah we bout to stay posted,

said he about to slide through.

- See D told Jaleel he could triple his money

by hooking up with some Asian cats from outta town.

D ain't never lied to Jaleel but I'm sure neither of them

anticipated what was about to happen.

- Just run the license plates.

Well what does it say?

- It says that the car belongs to a Chantelle Ellis.

-Don't seem like no girl car to me.

- It could be a family member or boyfriend.

Or it could be stolen.

- Doesn't say anything about it being stolen.

-Just watch out for this guy, he could be armed.

-Let's just get this over with, I don't wanna be late

for my son's t-ball game again.

Fuck!

Fuck breh!

It's cool.

It's cool, it's all right.

They already know what's up.

- Two officers made a routine traffic stop

and were shot,

we're waiting to get more information.

From what I'm also being told, they set up a five

to six block perimeter around where it happened

and they're trying to track down the assailant.

As soon as I have more information I'll be getting

right back to you, this is Michelle Joyner reporting.

(helicopter whirring and siren sounding)

Hey boy.

Yo, look at that.

The suspect is dead.

It is a grisly scene on the streets of east Oakland today.

These are live Sky7HD pictures at the scene.

Fuck!

You got me baby, you got me?

Stop, stop stop.

Excuse me!

Shhh!

-Don't shhhs me nigga, this is my fucking spot.

I'm tired of you thinking you can come up in here

and do what the fuck you want.

Nigga you think you slick,

I don't know what the fuck you got going on,

but you don't pay me no mind no more.

All you care about this god damn TV.

You don't care about me,

you don't care about our relationship.

-This was a major fuck up Marty.

-We're still trying to put all the pieces together.

So far this is what we've got.

Four officers dead.

No civilians.

-I still have to explain to the city why four

of Oakland's finest were killed by one gangbanger.

-He's got a rap sheet but so far we don't see

no gang affiliation.

-That only makes it harder to swallow.

It's still some hoodlum with an assault rifle

killing police officers in broad daylight.

- I'm doing the best I can

with the resources that I have.

Maybe if I hadn't lost 90 officers.

-I know you're not trying to put this on me.

-It's not about blame mayor, it's about me

doing the job that you brought me here to do,

which is protect the community.

-Well you better figure out a way to do that quickly

before my office does.

That'll be all chief.

Mayor.

- When Moe got the word that D was dead,

he could care less about the dough Wayne owed.

All he cared about was getting revenge,

even if Wayne had nothing to do with it.

Fuck!

-Come on, come on, nah, come on, come on.

Stop, stop, you shouldn't be doing this.

He's still my son.

I know Auntie, I know.

But you still shouldn't be doing this.

If I don't who will, huh?

-Come on let's go inside, come on.

It's okay.

Man I don't know about you

but ever since that shit went down

I can't stop thinking about it.

I just keep wondering what am I going to do when it's me,

when it's us.

I know what I'm going to do.

And I tell you right now,

it won't involve being carried away on a stretcher,

that's for sure.

You can't say that Finn,

those guys, they didn't even see it coming man.

-That's the thing, you can't let your guard down

with these fucking guys.

But here's what I don't understand,

how can one shit stain street thug

inflict so much damage?

Why don't you ask Omar?

Ask Omar what?

-About the uh, violent epidemic of young blacks

in uh Oakland.

Well I can't answer that.

But you're from Oakland right?

Yeah so what?

-So you must have some idea of the mentality of these guys,

you took criminology right?
