For new times on legal, Barbara. This is the daily today part three of our series on Reese and policing in Baltimore. What happened? to a generation caught between a crack epidemic that consume their parents and the aggressive police tactics meant to fix the problem. It's Wednesday June sixth ass here, ok, Terry Malloy, was

was on his picture, though one anyone answer. Can I go ahead? Take a look at it. The first time I went to visit Toby at her house. We went into this empty room. She called it looks room or yeah. This is the one you might have agreed and you guys so the room is filled with all these photos, Nook and she tells me to bring up this one. It's blown up the poster size and its really beautiful photo of seven teenage boys, and it is right in the middle of them. It was agreed by the citizens.

Right, oh boy, button on the far left his fat fat man he's the one of the dreads making. If you sign and then next to her reason, then comes Razor Teresa meeting that was next best friend and this one does raises. Rather Mitch racist match has its arm kind of casually hung round nooks, neck nook smiling just beaming. You looked like someone just cracked, a joke and he's cracking up and others Eddie on the right in a red, sweatshirt, Jim Jim, whose wearing Canova what looks like a varsity jacket and tighter and Tata Baby S. Many a baby.

Greece and went freeze my firm ass five September to demonstrating their my son went December, two thousand and sixteen September, two thousand a fitting Eddie you think, was shot in the street. He's sand get animals here with one leg learn about to take that one another off they may he asked Fifty three days after my fine together, the one is giving them a. Thank you to my there. Now overturned by the time of that month? Around said on that day, I got a phone call from my family carefully

Man lying out of the hospital for what is hung up administrative drama, his always date. When I got there at once, three six seven out of seven friends, Two are in jail: one survived, everybody else died, so she reaches for this photo album and me. She opens up in front of us and she starts flipping through showing us birthdays. Family celebrations, service, kill all with nook and their extent Family of friends in their neighbourhood, and so many of them had been killed a girl Then DNA would greatly it is an children she was killed. There was nobody makes.

A cousin name little Tony another friend name a leak? Show you a bit. He was married, it compulsory avenue, rethinking hold on a second light. I actually couldn't quite process it. I didn't know how to ask her a question. I did not ask her a question about. It is bathed with their generation Israel way with their generation, they kill and babies Bailey this town, I mean it reminds me of recovery, war in Iraq and having people die either under your nose you're having in it view and writing a story about a family

and you leave them on Friday and come back on a Tuesday and the Father's dead. I mean that would happen all the time in that's what her life is like people are just evaporating and not you know all people who got cancer, but seventeen year old, fifteen year olds, insane but they're like in a war or something what happened at the town is worth itself,

zero tolerance. Policing was supposed to make life better for next generation. It was supposed to stop the crime from the crack epidemic that had so tormented Toby. Indeed, that has generated, but obviously that's not how it played out. Instead, nook in his friends, their life's were shaped by two forces. First, by what the drugs in the job losses had done to their parents and the options they solve their lives. As a result, but then second by policing strategy that seem to assume their destiny from the very beginning, arrested or dead gonna be clear there. Right now. I never envy with you to there being a baby is funny. Looking Becky.

We would not about embryo long audacious an onlooker always ever they meet tonight. The about this take Peter. What did he reminds you of? What would you would you look like me on my guy every day I think about how he was. He was adorable

I very much so it turns out the when Nook was younger, he's been several years living with his great at Marian Civitas, younger sister. She become really successful, an accountant and she moved out to Baltimore County like so many upper middle class people in Baltimore, and this year's it was a world away from Toby in the city pointed one I think, give him a better life all active. We could allow hate him if he would be able to visit him, or he wisely happen on a weekend whenever she want it would feel her child, but we could give him a better life and not be bought up, and you know daddy and that's how they became

I'm not having more in our home young girls. Here he had piano lessons. Data

sign language. They told him how to very early. I thought very smart. He would pick up like anything. He had bottom Fisher price we quarter and he went to church every Sunday with a common home. He was happy quarter and the ten he was the preacher and delay. Let me bless you and you look on his face and put across your forehead like when they are not. You at the altar was wholly all those everything you see and we thought it was because he had

at least he's paying attention, but he didn't last week gave a month deadline. We really did I get it wasn't all when he one, I think about those tiny little nook wanted to go back to the city, vacuous mom. You use a strong willed kid, so we move back in with Toby she's working nature, the bartender. He was often funding for himself. This just ass, you are looking at an obviously very disturbing live shared there. That is the way

trade centre, and we have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plain has crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. I stood with his story about the morning of September. Eleventh decrease in this day care preschool type thing. Somebody away in West Baltimore, and nobody can roused Toby had a phone, the school has to shut down because the planes just hit the twin towers in everything's closing, oh, my goodness Olga there's another war and nook who at the time is three makes his way home himself, He crosses this Big Avenue, Lafayette Avenue as a three year old on his own and that was kind of his world. He had to figure it out for himself and make its own way. It was a leader ii was like a leader. He was a dozen was illegal. Everybody told us tat by love, you say why I love everywhere. I love Nick met Nook in elementary.

School all the local level loan. You wouldn't say that might mean abmrs would have been all that buddy playing with him. He given that little kid attention some attention that little kid ain't getting at home he come ass. I see no, no small shareholders, DORA we're gonna die by established, or even the pied paper of children. In the neighborhood never be sent a plan with our ebbed away, any plan one key. You turn around I think he is right to veto erratic Corleone. I gonna gonna. He play all up. He was the fun one he like bikes are located. Likewise, I guess we gonna do yeah colossal. More all your! Why a new bikes eggs whereby came from

What ya away any wise you hit us all, your might not it might be for bites added take years, and my group before might go anti terrorism match our lawyers and new banks and laid it happen I repeat: it is better to be at the door reading them. Every nook was in high school when he was killed. He was one of seven kids in his high school killed in little over a year, different kids than the ones in the photo, but look was never really interested in school

These latter it. This is actually not like crazy. He was never failed to say, like I, wanna, be a police officer back. He liked best the World Series, and then it was when we arrived here- and I will say what I say. Let me is that nothing illegal ban on was the prettiest thing. You really never a boy star, I mean, if a great that's what he said about an unstable says, he's always these. You know that when they told

I was so embarrassing. I knew exactly was he's one we writ eight is entrenched I don't know. I know I have no idea money make money free. So his grandmother develop did get him a job library one summer, but he didn't take to it. It was too slow. He was looking round his neighborhood and he seemed pretty much one path to getting head fast, and that was the streets. We grew up so young we already paying to he's watching houses, I was I was below. Cybercrime- is only was all steps watching us nuclear

watching the young men in this neighbourhood and watching their relationship with the police, visas, whatcha, ok, so the police came from this way. He got away in that way, sand where you could, I remind you, get older, you just do the same stuff useful role ago. I know what to do what not to do as I was watching Sonia long before Nook was actually doing anything. Illegal beatin run into the police, but then look did start selling drugs when it was about thirteen, that's it his friends say he got those boys in the photograph. There are black with they worked and then to protect it, they're turf. They got guns we'll goggles. We just love. Becky is running while we try to better our situation. I got to keep this gun right here. That's going to, let him know I'm not going for it. You ain't ready to take what I got.

Conjuncture about a message always have you taken on board by Roma situation. You know, Sir and announce occur. My life at the same time we concerned is not the case is one around, we just run around what does she? shoot issue. If we do all that to protect our life in a secure. What we That is all applauded again at some point. We know he started selling heroin. We know that because the police report from an undercover sting the end-

I'm not surprised when he was eighteen. Today's date is Monday to large twenty four two thousand. Sixteen deck, zero, a city usually far to certain by walk initiative and a sudden differ No, I'm forgot about failing

you'll be safe environment.

Ah man hated the bully. He hated him. Why are you here? Could they don't do shit will out we just trying to get our money embarrassed? Your ways it. I know what I miss in it. I well understand, but that's how it is with us. Several of you outside we just so miss gotta, keep their pride in animal attention. You gonna say we found that attention on a black and I voted with which we want our black with, and we just China about our situation, and they will do all it gave it had to be a plus. The fact that they are lake say their enforcing a law that, against the thing that you're doing work like that

lake they. How do you understand that door when, under the satellite, these drugs kill people understand it? These drugs for people, like I understand, but I gotta get my day- is all about in your money again now, I'm a game money that person come, she could be Michelle Obama is she can spend our money were me every day the supply and demand.

I've ever wider, hustle baby boy by soldiers they baby, whereby it stuff like that it is not by people they just bad situations we just trying to make them better, but the police they're not going to understand that you're upset he just on the outside. Looking in

That's ok wing on all money or we re getting vigour. We need is a man so much money. You Nick spent some time in jail, but when he got out he kept going any was making money. He bought nice clothes he by car you know I didn't have a licence is Instagram account was full of him holding money slipping through its counting. It's when smiling with giant wads of passion, his best Nova, twenty cheating on a tent with attention on its one. Is what What emerges Am I want illegal money the illegal money safe, secure objective of illegal money is there

In my neighborhood ran out to some by. Car salesman cause you know said Bob largely Madison, We'll get you a keeper, funky norm. Don't stand a, we started reporting in Baltimore because of new story, but actually nucleus the exception. He was shocked by the police, but those other young men in the photo

Most of them were killed by other young men in Baltimore. The thing about murder in Baltimore is that it's actually really tightly contained two: the circle of people committing crimes fever killed in Baltimore last year. The likelihood is you'd been arrested, an average of eleven times, which means today's victim is often yesterday's perpetrator and what's left is a very unusual situation in America where, in these Baltimore neighborhoods an eighteen year old, has a one in seven chance of dying before he reaches Highsmith, thirties and nooks friends. They know this. That's all you surprise, no Y know in that or the owner of this next bullet coming towards you or your boy. You don't know if boy hit you, no. No you or live

no, no, you won't die. Is it so warm at moment scheme yet the moment, but it come with it, so be income with the game that we pay so is now scurry. You now This will happen one day. You know it was the best possible, you wake up without dawning Mamma. You wake up your enemy ever you he won't. We re hit a black damaging alive. Did the anger candidate is life will be right, back support for the daily is brought to you by am sees better Casal. The drama noticed cause equal parts. Funny heartbreaking, exciting and tragic. Entertainment weekly hails this past.

And as the most intense, complex and formidable season, yet with CNN, calling it a dazzling balancing act and rolling stone killing Bob Odin Curtain, racy horn winners, fear, Emmy Cons, nation and all eligible categories. This kind of eerie feeling when you go to the block where Nook have been selling drugs most days, his friends are still there doing their thing, if a sense that nothing has really changed. There's just a different kid in nook. Spot he's block was the corner of Calhoun impressed. That's in West Baltimore, there's a butt

they got on the corner. All Geiss, holding back the potato chips and people can milling around here is very rich. Women are being made ten days Dave and they do it out of married. Maybe two weeks you get a might without a murder, it's cold and one of nooks. Friends is inside the potato watching the street through the glass door. What did he want for himself The saviours Maria in ITALY www name of him and his mother. And we say, get away, meaning like we fought armenian life lived together. We hurry, Do you remember him talking about them

the area we ve heard about delay the only tabled everything still our without ever so all of a sudden, this police car pulls up this creep around and see him, but not just like slowly. Down and put on the brake and pulls up, but lakes reaches us practically bumping up onto the curb I mean those from Seventy two zero in like three seconds together and these cops get out but on we're standing there in the middle of the street in this kind of absurd situation in which their kind of bantering and they're all kind of insulting each And you can't really tell what's going on, I made it back, we

in a way through the peoples. Are they got all along and nooks friend is just shouting about this little niece of long against him. But about what s going on my own, I was just riding a bicycle and you accuse me of having stolen it. Spells out drive you first hit, you put me in the back of your police car and took me in a rough ride this before Friday Gray, before they start known, as the main do that, for you did this, you did that run a meadow you'd, I'm on a Friday when about alone, you wouldn't want to give the right out of work these new dynamic areas, partner, your partner, the eyes of the police, have no!

idea who I am and are confused by my presence, a proud investigate. Why is it for she recalled reporter thought about your former found by now: you're. Ok, you're, not it is written now: you're probably got proverb water, for instance, its clear there's this long history between them like this is some weird cat and mouse routine. That both sides understand. I got about babyhood videos. I had done ass back no fit for a few minutes of this. The cops get in the car and drive off of me all of a sudden but they didn't really leave car kept.

Buzzing. The block I mean really accelerating, like it was like on a race track, or some Going around and around backing up really quickly tearing through an alley. I asked the guys. I said this is usually happen

What is he doing and they were like? Oh yeah, that's what he does everyday throw you patrol us. I suppose patrol enable you to throw us where to go, and I mean how do you see? This is a place where drugs are being sold. The police should be here. It's just a way that is happening today. Every cubic pops up under the curb entrusted to people you have not right here is not so much as worried. Some water and looks friends to prevent faced What would you like for you in the midst of all of this, then the guys in the corner makes a drug self sweetest. They seem very effective, what kind of occurred to me. Oh, this is exam

what we ve been hearing about policing in Baltimore after forty gray, the police, trying to get away from their bad behavior, but they do not replace it with what to do instead. So what's left is this kind of half thing this winding up of the hammer, but the hammer never comes down until you have these team, just openly breaking the law. The cops still unsure how to police down to nothing really happening drugs

he'll being sold on the corners and the kids who are selling them, keep dying. The four boys in that photograph. They were all killed after Freddy Gray down again and then just like that, it's over the cops drive off and expand keeps talking me about nook, no different from no overview. Oh here we will be forced into a dozen taken care of herself her leg. He were

There is no barriers and once again, this time give them money stay out the way our choice, but they do or start by don't come from her home albino come from new behind some? You ain't got no choice, but I've got no bad publicity. It is really something they get a whole house in a young still, do you think no kind of choice when he was younger for real from what I can see it when I was saying for real He really had at all when young, by the

Only then will we started off with him in his mouth and I M, so it kind of how to choice Betty Kind in cancer catch he knew he had the option, but it's like a strong force that was against him, we'll head a hold of him that he just couldn't. Let go the nuns buried either. What do we do? What can we do?

next only things he did have a choice. Look, they were look, will probably right now, be it Coronel. Something like that or somewhere. I mean this is, for the most part, a family that kept right like Mary and the accountant or his great aunt Gina, who built a very successful business. She got pregnant. Sixteen.

And worked three jobs, so her son Maurice could go to private school in eyes. Lastly, the inner city, where you deliver, because my business that is often there and I see some people at our love with an I'm telling you and I went to school with a lot of people they picked on me because I didn't headmost nice thing and I see them now and I have seen more think and their walking and they look like they about eighty years old, and I know I'm not good enough to live on about the environment. Even you get out on the only stay there. Some people treat Cindy

what to do better. Some people have no choice but to do better. Some people can't do better, not given an opportunity, some people as teether in the line and can make the choice and go right. You know what can go right or left some people, just of the street. I give some guys loved on business. You have something like you love. What you do is some people of love the street life some people lobbying in a mixed. Some people feel more comfortable in the street whether it would have for whatever reason they feed off the energy of it, the outside the possibility, murdered the furthest selling drugs do all this. De MRS gotta hear gotta be on a swivel somebody. Was tyrannical ya, think some people it pops, it's the heart, beat a bit like,

The more I listen to everyone in his life talk the more I was thinking of false choice. It wasn't really a choice for him. He was a kid I wanted to be with his mom and his mom was in that world.

In his mom loved him fiercely, and he loved her too, and it would be unreasonable to expect that he would have stayed living away from her forever. So Nook as a little kid chose his mom, the street came with her every new, your son had a guy. Would you call bullies overlays such hard question? It's such a question at this point and as did the death, a hawk isolates you dont know people call pulleys if your own fair, haired, again adulthood.

B because guesswork. Why should I tell Master behaved as charming apple, but he's downtown apples but he's down tracing of ours down and they d might not like look today I got you put tat man and I think that by everybody seemed so selfish. You don't know who to trust everybody is everybody wanted that everybody can get ahold. Sudan has again, and when is gay person one day they thing went to trigger, asked Toby if she thought no kind of choice. She didn't really answer, but you did say this disease will analyse them. There was this day he already as a baby. This leader aided see thy this or that like he's going to do it his way, and it was wrong. He don't figure it out. An aid or again all his than it is for me,

I didn't hear you just can't enemy, then. Do it. And if she saying all of this, I'm realising she sounds proud of him. For being a leader in this world and could he have say, for example, just like gone to work at the library, for example like with your office like the new indeedy, it was present, The aim was that he couldn't wait it would have been the death now that we have never been no point They sent me his going to the moon and he going to come back and get up and take us there in the house is going to be built at the end of it. I'm trying to tell you Ain't going to be no other way, and if you can't be that way, it ain't going to be. No, I kind of stopped me in my tracks: He was someone who loved her son, so much admired her son, so much, but he lived upside down land.

We're very, very few ways to make it as they saw it. This was the fastest way and look was good at it. He was important in that world leader and she didn't want to take that away from him. She wasn't gonna stand in his way and did you resistance, these lad, discouraging almost every bone in that way mouse you get a he like, so why does it happen love me chosen in life and on each generation tries to eradicate next generation better with my grandfather was due to Mama,

me to her, where he's don't be bettered Emilius havin a better than me so making it was on the flip side of spectrum thousand a street right now will be deeper industries to me if you nurse him and raise him just like. I am now to be something a nurse and reason to be in the streets like

the nurse his son to be a better man than him when he was too maybe get made and go higher and become the birth of a family ways, though he didn't make. It makes a sort of street. You can do the same thing intentionally or unintentionally, and didn't ask what has happened to hear me out here. I just don't think this. He foresaw the envy without, I don't think she thought of lobby that went out by sea or father around they she wanted to. I just think that panel would have me

sing and as a razor raises elevated living thing. Do you remember about changes? we'll be right back.

Primary system allows the top two candidates to advanced to the general election, regardless of party which had real fears that democratic could be locked out altogether in the final round of voting. Democrats think that California could give the party Third of the seeds. They need to regain control of Congress. You're just a sum it up.
