Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

Ep. 68 Talking Prison and Street Gangs with returning guest and gang culture expert retired Lt. Brian “BC” Sanders. In his 20+ years with a large agency in the southeastern U.S., Brian served on various proactive units including Gang Suppression, homicide, drug unit, aggravated assault and more. He is known for developing sources, actionable gang intelligence, motivating others to learn and work gangs and pushing disruption initiatives to reduce violence.In this episode, we explore the origins, evolution, and power dynamics of prison gangs – why they form, how they recruit, what their initiations or jump-ins look like, how they tend to self-segregate along racial lines. We compare them to how street gangs operate within the prison including how and why street gang members can still call the shots on the street even while behind bars. And we look at how prison and street gangs coexist. We delve into the well-known case of Sex Money Murder (SMM) leader “Pistol Pete” Rollack, one of the most notorious gang leaders who famously ordered the murder of two fellow gang members while he was serving a life sentence, a crime that sent him to solitary confinement.If you haven't already, check out my first conversation with Brian in Ep. 44 in which we talked about types of street gangs, how they recruit, the people who join them and how gangs have evolved over time. We discuss their hand signs, graffiti and bandanas known as flags, and initiations called jump-ins.Brian teaches virtual and in-person classes on gang culture for law enforcement and citizens and how if you know what to look for and what steps to take, you can disrupt the spread and violence of gangs. You can find out more on his website (link below).

From a young age, Booboo sensed he had lived many lives, yet growing up in Southern California amid gang culture, addiction, and trauma, he fell into the illusion of separateness. On November 14, 2009, following years of struggle with alcohol addiction, his identity dissolved in what he describes as a “glimpse of nirvana.” This experience awakened him to a deeper reality beyond his former self.   With 15 years of sobriety, Booboo has since experienced out-of-body phenomena, a shared-death encounter with his father, and several spiritual awakenings. Now, as the host of the Broader Lens Podcast and an author in progress, he seeks to share his journey to inspire others toward healing and self-realization.  Read Booboo Garcias' article about his 10 Best Spiritual Books here: https://www.sedgbeer.com/booboo-garcias-10-best-spiritual-books/ ⁠ #Spirituality #Awakening #Addiction #GangCulture #TransformationStory #Nirvana #InnerPeace #SpiritualAwakening #BoobooGarcia #BroaderLensPodcast #SandieSedgbeer #NoBSSpiritualBookClub #Lifestyle   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sandie-sedgbeer/support

Kris talks about the new podcast Can You Dig It? with narrator Chuck D of Public Enemy, along with both producers to discover the untold origins of Hip Hop.  The story is told through a blend of immersive reenactments, oral history and expert discussion, Can You Dig It? is as illuminating for hip-hop fans as it is for history buffs, as one of the great American stories.About the Can You Dig It? Podcast:How did hip-hop happen? To understand that, we have to go back to before the ‘birth' of the culture.It wasn't a given that the Bronx of the late 1960s and early 1970s would be the birthplace of an American art form. Urban renewal had left the borough neglected and in crisis. Gangs policed the streets, and winding up in the wrong territory could have serious consequences. But things were about to change.Can You Dig It? is an in-depth history of how positive community influences helped inspire the troubled youth to end the cycle of gang violence, as told by people who were there at the time. It's the inspiring true story of how local gang the Ghetto Brothers rejected calls for war in the aftermath of the murder of Black Benjie–a member who was trying to find common ground–and how gang leaders Yellow Benjy and Karate Charlie worked to broker a peace with rivals. The end result? A place where urban artistry could flourish into a global culture fifty years strong: hip-hop.Narrated by Public Enemy's Chuck D and told through a blend of immersive reenactments, oral history and expert discussion, Can You Dig It? is as illuminating for hip-hop fans as it is for history buffs, as one of the great American stories. It's a tribute not just to community action but to the unsung heroes who paved the way for greatness.©2023 PB and J Productions, LLC (P)2023 Audible Originals, LLC--Can You Dig It? is availible to listen to NOW on Audible Originals - CLICK HERE For more from Chuck D - Visit his website MrChuckD.comFor more from Producers Bryan Master & Pete Chelala - Visit their website PB&J Productions--About the Podcast: ‘TEXT PROSE AND ROCK N ROLL'- is the only podcast dedicated to the written account of musicians.

As a child growing up in South West London, the great outdoors seemed like a world away for Deon Barrett. Fast forward today, he's not only a passionate outdoor adventurer himself, but also a trailblazing inspiration for young people from urban communities. The first part of our conversation journeys through Deon's transformative path from a life on the outskirts of London, enmeshed in gang culture, to finding security and purpose in the British Army. Along the way, Deon discovered a love for the outdoors that has become his therapy and driving force.Out of his passion for the outdoors, Deon founded the True North Project. His ambition? To encourage young  people, especially those from ethnic groups and local communities, to embrace the mountains and Mother Nature. He shares the story behind his daring goal to summit Mount Everest by 2025 and his hopes to inspire others to take on their own expeditions, despite their background. But Deon's story isn't just about reaching the top of a mountain, it's about transcending societal limitations. It's about showing every individual out there that they too can have their "Everest", their high point, their ultimate goal.

A polite warning that it is quite a gritty episode this week, and there is also some uncomfortable language throughout. This week our guest is Riaz Khan, who is a university lecturer, author, and former football hooligan. He shares his fascinating story of being a member of Leicester's 'Baby Squad throughout the eighties, which includes graphic descriptions of violence, memories of racial abuse he experienced and how fashion played a part in gang culture. We also discuss the glamorisation of football hooliganism in the films, and how Riaz looks back at his time in the firm now.  Come and see us in Clapham on November 1st?

In order for Paul to write “I can do all things through him who strengthens me”, he had to experience something to validate that conclusion. - Myron PierceI've survived prison, I've seen peopel stabbed, iv'e seen people die, i've seen gange riots break out, ive seen gang fights in prison….but God told me, “Your purpose is bigger than your prison.” - Myron PierceGangs taught me how to disciple people. - Myron PierceSometimes I don't need to open my mouth for evangelism. I just need to actually do the work so that people can open their mouth for me. - Myron PierceThe largest missional and entrepreneurial incubator on the planet is the local church. - Myron Pierce“It used to be ‘Give a man to fish, feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, feed him for life.' We say, “Own the pond!” - Myron Pierce “What if we made 10% of North Omaha's inner city population, 7,000 people, into entrepreneurs?”- Myron PierceMyron Pierce's Challenge: Evaluate yourself: how much time are you spending making disciples? Use Myron's HOPE method. For so many Christians, the discipleship process isn't very clear.They know they need to go to church, pray, not sin, and maybe attend a small group. While these are great things, they don't outline a clear path leading people to live more like Jesus. We'd love to introduce you to the 40-Day Red Letter Challenge.When you and your church take the challenge, you'll have a clear 40-day discipleship path that will help you master five key areas of discipleship.You can learn more about the challenge here!Some not-so-key insights: Prison is like a WalMart that you can't get out of. - Chris JohnsonWe are going to blow the hinges off of hell! - Myron PierceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
