The Council

- Strong armed robbery, murder, extortion,

attempted murder, trafficking, kidnapping,

and the list goes on.

Tell me about your involvement

in the organized crime group known as The Council.

The Council, huh?

Now I know y'all wondering what's going on, right?

A bunch of poker faced niggers

riding together on a mission, right?

Niggers with attitude, right?

Now before shit gets real,

let me take you to the prequel to eliminate all assumptions

before y'all start not liking me and shit.

What y'all do to my brother?

- We are doing our best to right this wrong, mam.

You can't right this wrong, he dead,

he fucking dead.

- We are doing our best, mam. - Hey fuck you.

That's my cousin, fuck you.

Get the fuck out of here with that.

So could I have the badge numbers

of every officer that was here?

Who the hell are you for?

- It was him, Officer Chaney and his ass, Officer Cooper.

Fuck you, you ugly black bitch.

- Bitch? - Yeah, you heard me.

Nah, nah,

a bitch is the faggot who forgot to pull out your mom.

What the fuck did you say?

What the fuck did you say?

- Forget about it. - I'll be right here.

See how they treat us?

They kill us and talk to us like we ain't shit.

Then they bring his ass over here

to try to calm us black bitches down.

I think we're done here, okay, pal?

Not quite, not quite at all.

And you,

you might think about how you speak to a policeman.

Okay, master, okay I will,

but who's gonna watch how y'all talk to our black women?

- Our lives. - Your laws

- Our lives - You take

- Our streets - Ain't safe

- You shoot - We fall

- Our lives - Your laws

- Our lives - You take

- Our streets - Ain't safe

- You shoot - We fall

- Our lives - Your laws

- Looks like more black blood shed in these streets, huh?

I don't know, you tell me Deacon.

The only time y'all come out here, protesting

is when the police shoot and kill our own.

We're coming to see

that justice be served on all ground.

So what about the justice

for that ballplayer, Kendall Walker

that was shot by the Seven Fives?

I know you know all about that.

Or Keisha Miller, that little girl that was shot on 89th.

If I'm not mistaken, you live on 87th

and you said support, right?

So you're telling me that Code Black

is taking care of all expenses, right?

Thought so.

And I don't get it,

y'all come out here breaking your necks

for a false image in front of the media?

You don't care about the community.

But you know what?

The news crew just arrived.

That's what you've been waiting for, right?

I don't want to be in your spotlight, black man.

- My only brother Messiah, he didn't even do shit.

- Everything is gonna be okay, all right, just trust me.

He dead, Messiah, that shit not okay.

They treat us like we ain't shit, man.

Justice, I assure you, will be served.

You really ready for this shit?

You know once shit cracking, ain't no turning back?

Yeah, do I look like I'm ready?

No.

Dora

- I dropped my teddy and he picked it up for me.

I'm so sorry, sir.

No worries, mam, beautiful daughter.

Thank you.

Come on, Dora.

Thank you, mister.

- I want to thank you all for coming out for the

Edgewood Treemont Elementary School graduation ceremony.

Before we get started,

I would like to welcome and to bring onto the stage

to lead us in our pledge of allegiance,

a great friend of mine and a Treemont Bulldog.

My very great friend, Detective Ronald Cheney.

Come on, Detective Ron.

Thank you.

I really appreciate this opportunity.

As an officer of the law,

we spend a great deal in the headlines of the news.

We risk our lives every day to protect and to serve.

And I just want to thank you all

for granting me the opportunity

to say our pledge of allegiance.

If you'll please stand.

I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America.

And to the Republic, for which it stands,

one nation, under God

Hey.

- Pick! - Okay, okay, okay.

Look at it.

You see your card? - Yes, I see it.

Put it back in there.

Put it back in there, come on.

Okay, okay.

Hurry up.

This your card?

No.

Ah shit, fuck it.

- Don't kill me. - Give me your wallet.

Come on, come on!

Okay, all right just take it all right?

- No take your fucking ID, hurry up.

- Okay. - Hurry up.

Be blessed brother.

What the fuck, man?

Get his gun.

Fucking crazy?

So this is the good Samaritan

that almost caught the killer?

I'm Detective Griffin

and this is my partner, Detective Cooper.

- Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?

No.

Have we met before?

'Cause you looked really familiar.

I don't know.

- Did you get a good look at the guy or what?

- Did I even say if I minded or if I didn't mind

you guys asking me questions?

- Who gives a shit what you mind or don't mind?

You're nobody, okay?

I need to know, did you see the guy or not?

Not quite.

I don't know.

Maybe he was white.

Oh maybe, huh?

What are you fucking slow or something?

You got to hit that hard with the gun,

is that what you're telling me?

- Apparently. - Well how 'bout another one?

Okay, I got.

Well then fucking get it.

This is fucking bullshit.

Are we done?

Yeah, we're done here.

We just wanted to ask you a few questions.

I mean the other witness there

said it was a white guy, too.

Messiah, Messiah you all right?

You didn't talk to the media or anything, right?

I'm sorry.

And you are?

I'm Michael Douglass III.

I represent this heroic gentlemen.

And you are?

Detective Griffin, LAPD.

Okay, well is my client a suspect?

No.

Exactly, so I'm trying to figure out

why is he being questioned?

- And how do you know we're questioning him?

Well, I know you're not here

to simply thank him for putting his life on the line.

Now my job is to protect the wellbeing of my client

and make sure he doesn't answer any questions

or be interviewed by anybody,

especially knowing that the killer

is out there on the loose.

We're just doing our job.

And I am trying to do mine.

Now do you mind?

If you can remember anything else

that might help us find who did this, give me a call.

Good day, gentlemen.

We need to get up out of here.

You understand what I'm saying?

- Yeah, black dress shit, black pants, black shoes.

What about him?

He owe us a bill?

Yeah.
