Each week I David, We read a story from history to my friend, Gareth Reynolds, who has no idea what the topic is about, Oh yeah yeah,
you wanted to get away. I did wonder citizens, not jerry gara dave, ok, someone or something is too far, and this is not going to come up signally clock wings. They give me that shit up like a bunch of religious virgins to mingle in dubai. Three- and this is my friend now we're doing departure. Ok, so it is somewhat in the autumn of measures Something really quick feels like we haven't started the podcast. Then I get a lot of I've been getting a lot of shit about pronunciation, probably like some people about names of the the thanksgiving I hadn't thanks. I got such shit about it. Yet look. I write these thing here and some,
times. I remember to go and try to look up the names and even when I do go to look them up, I still forget how to pronounce them cause they're long, crazy names, a lot of them. I think it's adorable and other times if I put the actual how to pronounce it in there. It's it's. It slows everything down, I'm going to be a good dirt beard. I just want to blow through it for comedy sake. I don't want to get stuck up another thing yeah when you're reading twelve pages of stuff and I'm going to fuck up words yeah, that's just how it's gonna work, I'm not a I'm, not a guy! I who, who does this for a living median or not, I know or have scripts that I'm reading it right. I don't do any of that. This isn't my professional, not a professional voiceover guy, so I'm going to skip words. Yeah so maybe I'll get better at the right. Now, that's just what it is. I am sorry and an hey. Listen, I'm not gonna, know some shit of hay moron, there's just I didn't bed entered for a lot of my luck for school gay where's yearning. When I was in school, I did a lot of drugs.
I remember I very much remember my vocabulary getting worse. Oh yeah, like I remembered, not being able to remember what words were and, and so I damaged my brain as far as words go is a great one. Here's a great one. I remember the first day of school one year it was probably like seventh or eighth grade. I spelled of ovi, and I looked at it and I was like well that doesn't look right, hey just look right to you. It's of am I crazy yourself look and where to go where I want to smoke. little bottle dear little glue, lhasa, this way they were now in the twentyth century los angeles was what you call a corrupt city, bribes and vice were common eighteen hundred bookmakers, six hundred whore houses and two hundred gambling dense few too many bookmakers,
I like the crooks who ran them paid off the police and politicians, but Six hundred whorehouse is to get him out. That would be a lot for now yeah with twelve million people. It has a lot further few hundred thousand live there. Not even that is play. A couple thousand may mean six hundred and you've got to think. How many were you thinking, ten whores, a house: let's do that math, good god, just whores, every the horror of remarkable a police chief that lasted more than six months of this is another lapd right. A pity month, the others- you don't know the zealous pity to pursue to achieve a place. You, the less it more than six months during this period, was pretty rare unless they embraced big business and the protection of vice, because the mayor and the chief and all the time political campaigns receives its
funds directly or indirectly, from vice operations. Okay, so that other city set up money from vice and big business. Ames Davis made a name for himself in the los Angeles police department as the head of the vice squad during prohibition of men. That must have been quite a fuckin job right yeah. I can kick in or is it over an area. Exactly everything is kicking kegs over and kicking people that there is a picture of him and like six women from carrying, It's crazy group, the temperance, the other women's temperance movement, and they were there I'll, had acted in the hand in there. They're gone in barrels fucking time both got get out of the bar, the but with axes are here to destroy the boughs, so he he took up his police police chief in nineteen. Twenty six
already, in July of nineteen twenty seven chief Davis reorganized the department in response to accusation that his war on crime was an efficient and neglectful. He fired a fifth of the force for bad conduct and instituted the dragnet system of policing all right. Okay, so that's good right, a fifth, the guys he gets rid of for being for big shitty cops! That's a bold yes, but I I just what well I just don't. I feel like it's It there's a problem with him. What yeah, okay? Well, let's he seems to be a key player. Already. Okay, let's read on and see him. advise you know what's coming out, you're right idea, though you're right rail, I think he's great. He may advice radical organizations and vagrants his primary targets. Ok, I loved with their mother. That's like the communist groups vice which You know all that shit
Thirdly, I am hearing and stuff and, and then just people don't have any money. And the vagrants do what did they do their their gridlock around? But the book Concern was quote. Eastern gunman note also noticed gangsters in this the time when money was cut back for the forest, so he was working with reduce resources. Davis responded by making a gun squad, while did this by a boy believed accurate shooting by policemen, would be the greatest deterrent to the eastern gunman. People leave average criminal was a poor shot and wouldn't be able to deal with a well trained police officer. Well, every cop movie I've seen bad guys. I mean that That's the deal right. You run up a fire escape, they cannot fucking head. So I think that makes sense that so the guns god was made up of fifty men after forming the gun god Davis declared the gun turning Elam
and the rum smugglers are going to learn that murder and gun toting are most inimical to their interests. There's word: if the court's, what a limit then I will. I will hold court on the gunman on los angeles streets. I want the gangsters brought a dead, not alive, she's, a cell riced. Okay. So he's just so, his new policy is I don't fuck the fuck around his just let's guilty gap. If it's not a court that quarters a gun, this caught now it's if everybody die and it's baby steps with that policy, see if you can get them in the course then you're like alright now I'll take to the streets is like the outbreak, their body, so I know he doesn't want them to bring in alive. Go no! No! No! What's this guy alive yeah, this guy's guilty of being alive Davis, also got the nickname two gun Davis.
Because, while betsy love to post photos with two guns, John get gunslingers tie up cheese kid. You can't do that to that's the problem right like that? Does the problem with everything is is the second that somebody starts to get a little big than they forget about everything the bad that is just like I'm two guns is every picture is like. Ok, you ready. I hear you yeah yeah. I can all timing like an all time, high cowboy unease in charge girl with yet he also had a pistol team the practice and gave demonstrations. What is now the academy? for local dignitaries, Davis would usually give a speech about communism than a group would head over, to the shooting range, the favorites, that Davis, was a cigarette in the mouth officer. Joad turks would like a cigarette put it in his mouth, Jesus Christ and chief Davis? Would let tommy car raises pistol at which point Davis would say, wait just a
at lieutenant I'll hold a cigarette in the los Angeles police department. A superior never asks a man to do anything. He wouldn't do himself, oh, my god, then he would take the cigarette and put it in his mouth. What if the tenant tommy car would shoot? cigarette out of his mouth. I leave honestly like it's done. So the day of communism, speeches you're, probably like this is going to be a fucking boring day. This is going to lag and then, by the end, he's like I'll. Do: you like two guns, everyone in towns, like you, could you go see the police yeah gifted and the showmanship too fast lieutenant of their body. Just one more thing in one notorious incident Davis contain to talk for so long with the cigarette in his mouth that there Nothing left, but a long ash.
car, shot and splattered the ash and paper all over Davis's face is ease. The police do better than us yep. I guess we could say about us. Given the green light to kill criminals. Yes, can deliver. H. Green was a member of the los Angeles stock exchange K. He was also bootlegger. nineteen twenty seven. He was at home on Bonnie brain. With stash of ten thousand worth of pre prohibition booths. So ten thousands, a lot of fuckin that allies rack. Then six members It was home in attempting to leave him of his boots. That's nice of those guys greener. It's a shoe of the burglars with his rifle before he was shot and killed. The group did not get the booze and they scattered. So now the cops are looking for the killer of a stockbroker when actually he's
bootlegger right. All all the lines are blurred? Oh wait. So he died to do the guy. Okay, the guy, that okay, the alleged ringleader of the failed raid, was a well known, crook named Harry mile away thomas wade mile away yeah, it's his nickname of milo located Harry nickname mile away, because every time he was arrested, which was at least nine times she always said, a mile away. He said he was like he was always just that was harry, on Saturday, were you at the wheel, The shooting gonna gardener now, I know come on. Get out of here was a mile away. Are nowhere near there. You guys, my friends, my alibi was a mile away as two blocks away yeah
hey guys two blocks away saturday. Where was the other day was a mile away. I know I remember we talked. I was two blocks from there. We would shout hey jimmy down the beach yeah. Well, you know You know where, where we was when the shooting happened, the garden. Where was I he was a mile away? You always do black. Where were you I was out in the bay in this way: the case. Harry's attorney s heart told cover their normal names. Any normal names covered. My way that I can go does this is everybody's made up in this particular case. Harrison He s heart, told cops that he had spoken with. I mean that's about. I know it's a boat, but the hans are still like. number one family. They like the rockefellers hello, huge family size in the skies, one of the hans still s us
which an esa didn't know away. A lot of boys or boats vaccinated and this is a system dinghy, there's one. is not doing well we're going to put him down and he told constitutes spoken of this kind. End quote: he was not only a mile away this time, but sixty miles away up at last. I ss the cops chase terry around for l a for two weeks before they caught him harry and the rest of his group were arrested in connection with greens, murder and he was put on trial. Ok, while detectives took the actually was a grand jury thing he was put on, while detectives stand as a faint than those till they were sure Harry had killed mister green. He was let go for lack of evidence. Okay, now take
she's davis as word an elite team of detective set out to stop Harry mile away thomas when taxes ellis bowers, richard Lucas and Charles de Hoy, worked at los angeles police departments, robbery and vice divisions They mostly chased out bank robbers and car thieves together. They had captured hundreds of criminals over the years, and Lucas also had his own private weapon arsenal, including a shotgun that had once belonged to poncho via a while. So these guys, like tango and cash yeah, he's not kidding about the fact that if the court doesn't work, it's go time, it's really not yeah. The detectives had been tip that thomas might be, might hit a west, thirty fifth street grudge that was filled with bootleg liquor and a nice autumn. He was not going to use a mile away. They started out for three nights running ok on the third night, people twenty first nineteen, twenty seven, the heard some climb over six foot wooden fence remove the grudge padlock with bull cutter,
and swing opened the double doors when an end. When the intruder turn on its flashlight shouted stick em up, while they had collapsed signal coming under attack him up your rat, very mild. away Thomas made for his. And and shot twice and that's when they let him have a boy harry was riddled with machine gun bullets. Oh Jesus, buckshot and revolver slugs. He staggered to the front of an adjacent house and into the arms of a you and have a uniform patrolman, who just happened to be walking by the officer. By coincidence. That's like eight thousand grabbed him. The patrolman testified at a corner, sharing that thomas made no complaint of how he was handled only asking that it be hurried to the hostile, What I learned tat, I love it. That's what he said. Not are you guys? Are you guys doing those handle this was great. Could you get me hospital?
a mile away. That's amazing! I like that. That's like up like to make a point at as well yeah. He did say, and he had no qualms. He just was really focused on getting to the knows what the game is. He was really he knows. If he goes into a garage, it can be lit up by a machine gun. He was really not shutting up about getting to the hospital. I mean he was really shot. Detective Lucas testified he told thomas and the ambulance. You are dying and thomas replied. but he s a foul sometime, then he died who Jesus. So this is also. This is what we re. What we re also grant is always I'd in ferguson. Judy is just bad cop dial, where they make up. There appear stack up up
he did. Talk like we was in a movie everybody's got to follow some time. Charlie you're right, go the corner. Corners jury deliberated. Just twenty minutes before declaring the officer's conduct was justified. He was justified to quote thomas, was bent on crime and was ordered to stop by the officers of the law, hunting by shooting at them and so compelled the officers to also resort to gunplay. The times reported the l a times gunplay. Now. This is the time when You need to worry about critical newspaper coverage in the press and populous taken officers. Were for the way. Something went down. Oh how, unlike today Well, I mean I was just going to say: we've had that policy until about six months ago, after Lucas was promoted to afterwards Lucas was promoted to head of l a p d s intelligence squad, which
The elite squad intelligent gunning died, but these guys also we're like the kick ass to tat, so the atomic squad oversaw gambling and vice enforcement by august and other stuff, but August lucas was working directly for the chief and reboot reputedly was closed. A gangster albert marco, ok about mark was born in eighteen, eighty, seven, italy and came to united states in nineteen o eight. He started off as a pimp and a con man in the vat in washington, nice Ass h, Crawford, who ran los angeles politics, was an old friend from resale days. So he convinced marco, to move to los angeles. In the early nineteen twenty marco drove to l, a in a cadillac transporting alcohol to long beach, warehouse to long beach, warehouse the political connections created by Crawford's political machine, let the market operate without much fear of prosecution for his crimes
the nineteen twenty five marco pistol with the lapd officer and was given a fifty dollar fine and his gun back that worth that our I just said we got it What was something for you to give me the rest? You may, okay, you can put your wrist atomizer and slapped out. You gave me fifty a gallon as a garden. We put some extra bullets in there like you. Just if you pistol, with them. Don't stand there and get arrested, just walk away at sm, just throw fifty dollars at him when you whip him. According to the iris pistol, whipping was a write off say between nineteen twenty, two and eighteen. Twenty four marco earn five hundred thousand dollars from prostitution, wow. That's a lot of fucking money. That's a lot! I mean that's literally a lot of fucking money that it said Martha wanted to take down. Councilman Carl L Jacobson, who was on a tear against gambling, impressed
vision, Jaeger. There was a family man who lives in lincoln highs and he was republic in a process in work and real estate and insurance, and he hated whores, and I did not like the horse. In two thousand and five. He ran for city council and lost by thirteen votes to Joe Fitzpatrick fits a a by then Joe was arrested for taking bribes Jesus. He was arrested, he got he got elected and he was arrested before he took office for taking bribes. That's great. So then Jacobson became as he was second place. He became the kansas city chiefs city chaps right phone call, so the other women guys in jail. Well, good news: you want the other guys real shit up. He was as a vice crusader and its crusade was costing market honey, so marco offer jig ism Jacobson twenty five If thousand dollars to focus on parks and recreation instead of priests, prostitution, LAO twenty five thousand
back, then, is an insane amount of money to focus on parks and recreate you feel away from the horse and just make ballpark soon with the war on swing sets finally got in fact taken on the swing sets over the horse. I mean really is amazing how big of a part hordes of bladed has history? Oh my god, it's been really we really when you get down to it. It just was we had to make laws to just be like no more of this just got that fucking star guy wasn't so yeah but he was I hate when you look at treason. Shit instead and Jake I didn't turn down the money and then he went and told the feds about marcos, bribe and the pimping and he gave them all. The information to federal officials find Marco two hundred and fifty thousand dollars surveys, Jesus so Margo, turned to the man in charge of the lapd intelligent squad lucas to take down Jacobson. Ok, they said
What in the spy world is known as a honey trap, is interesting as uneasily traps are bad guy jenkins and was called upon the Jacobson called upon by miss hazel ferguson today, as a matter of st assessments with her, This ferguson telephoned him at home and asked for him to look over her property. Deceiver was worth paying me assessments, so when he arrives like honey when he arrived for their meeting, miss ferguson port to drinks and then more Later all the lights in the house went out. He was their hidden. head and knocked unconscious when he awoke he had been arrested by four lapd officers and It was only has read: underwear with a bottle. The whisky nearby and a reporter was taking pictures worst case scenario for waking up well was what was within
it's a big brother set up setup yeah as bull shit, the two captains, two guns of detectives and detective lucas detective raymond- all had a very different version of events. from what Jacobs had said. They said yeah. I wonder why they put this in that they went to this. The house watched through a window and then, after what they thought was criminal behaviour that there are witnessing they went in. They crashed down the door there the couple on morals violations, so they worry now. This is their story. There's authorities this sort of war, very high, ranking elevate, Peter. Officers, wet and just happened. it all happened to hang check the matter? looking at a window ever and sought to people about to get on, they assumed well, they oppose, and she
gotta, be a whore, so they crashed in and stop the fucking they arrested for morals. Yeah, that's interesting, it gives them was encouraged, decided confession. Rather than face the charges for lewd conduct he's gotta be sitting as it's gotta be fucking spin. He was taken the station arrested and charged, but it turned the woman's name wasn't hazel ferguson. Her name was Kelly grimes, of course, and the case against jig went to trial. Even though a thousand supporters, turn up at a protest at one point. While he was tried twice at the first trial, he to he testified that the woman must have pulled down his pants after she had hit him over Had the jury voted. Ninety three four acquittal in the second trial, the jury was we divided and It decided against trying in for a third time after allegations of jury, tampering arose.
Thanks so hard to put this guy we're just granted. It was like to tell my set up of all time like it's. You have cop going on a drastic. What the fuck, it's all bad just sit outside in the crash in the door of the way that the mile a guy. They got a been. That's! That's how you set up. I can do that right, agreed. Aren't, gonna beat you're going to be a criminal you'll shoot at us. I'll kill you, but this guy's, a good family man yeah, discuss this guy's. When a letter was determined, grimes have been given Two thousand five hundred by marco and promised a one hundred a month, stipend for the rest of her life, her testimony. Ok, this when things went south during abroad, Ships cafe a boot, shaped eater ie and speak easy on the venice peer cave, that girl- but we all now, that's crazy, that's it crazy place to go the boat cap, Marco shot and seriously wounded another pay.
and he was jailed while in jail. He was unable to make his monthly payments to grimes. So she came clean, And admitted she helped frame Jacobson the for officers who conducted the raid and Charlie Crawford the guy brought market italian. Who's the big ally politics there were tried for piracy to frame the city councilman allow, I think, there's sometimes when shit just gets too in the look, I'm not a hand yeah, they have two. They have to try guys yeah and they clearly don't want to. I love those times grams. For the prosecution? The two trials also resulted in hungary's and the charges against
what were finally dismissed in nineteen, twenty nine. He says Christ, which great says nine perfect. The scandal led to the demotion of chief James Davis, okay detectors, Lucas raymond and the other cops were forced to resign. So that's good yeah and a great story right, good now and good and justice. They want good and justice. Good and justice know there's now good injustice what they called the cops. All that believe force not, but that's not. I think we all agree that justice has been sir now that's hot and nelse, and now it accords. It turned in l, a politics and the police, department and corruption know, but now now they're well dave, maybe you're wrong. Because frank l Shaw was elected mayor in nineteen, thirty three, but that's not good, His reign is now considered to be the most corrupt time in the city of LOS angeles, say ever the most corrupt ever. I think we can
datum mayor shaw, had been strongly opposed by the chandler family. Her own ella times the elit times had gone through a bitter labour struggle in the early nineteenth hundreds, which led to a I remember bombing the times, building and nineteen ten, ok, normal. That's what you do nothing if you are trying to forty million yet and you're having trouble and they won't. Let you form a union you blow. The shit is better than not blowing it up that I could not not blowing it up. You're right, the bombing killed twenty one, paper employs one hundred. I know you guys going to sign the union, alright, not the dead ones, but the alive ones. You want to sign the card and make the deadline I don't know. so. The chandler family remained pretty anti union. Throughout the years show on the backing of the chandler family. Ok, the best way to do this was to appoint a police chief who is anti union, so sharp pointed good algae.
Davis back as police churches, the cats you ride, police muscle to discourage unionization good Well, very good and very tangled chief davis is back hey. You got fired a couple of years, yeah scandal that back baby uganda back in gracia that ever James This was known to be absolutely loyal to the interests of Henry chancellor and the other important l, a businessman chief Davis founded the red squad, acl you claims was them lawless and brutal police squad in the country. They are formed a crackdown on labour. organisms, organizations and radical elements. Davis ones communists have no constitutional rights, and I won't listen to anyone who defends that's pretty clear, really pretty it's pretty clear. It's pretty good covered from the police. Jeff, that's good everything's, a squad
right literally everything, and ask why they're all squads we're just like form a good granted. I know, what's gonna become a shriek squatting. Other ex gets glad with parliament the horse we're gonna a let's get all squire we're gonna. There will be a bang squad festival, let's go to that both restaurant on the way Oh yeah, you want to be a bud. Squire there bud squad will get a beer squad will go flexible, as squads gob squad go tonight What are the bargains around? The bug is why we have our squad yeah, I'm into the bomb squad, oh boss, what's different? Actually, my up my wife's squad is kept she's kind of in the squad. You know what I mean it's a yeah you're the pussy whipped squad. Hey, sorry, jimmy hey that goes! Oh push whipped, it said squad was my squad. I get it! It's a squad. Chancellor, who is quoted as saying that Davis was a quote, dictatorial, sadistic and bitterly
anti labour man who says communists influences who sees communist influence everywhere. So that's that's what the guy who's backing abscess makes it cost him a total monster yeah this guy's on my said, but he want a fucking piece of shit, this guy here's to look out your off the fuck, because this guy's mother haven't a communist shit is so fucking nuts davis. Elaborated on going as far as to say that quote, residents were either citizens of I'm a value or they were not. I mean like a you, got money or go fuck itself. It's los angeles crowd good working nightmare good. Yet Davis began serious spying on the l community jellies and if it had been up to him, all residents of Ella would have had a file of the lapd headquarters that included a copy of their fingerprints,
and because the l a times was involved in this stuff. It is difficult. So this is the craziest thing. It's really hard to find old newspaper stories, corruption in l, a you go in you, Google and nothing comes up It's not like you're chicago or new york, where the press wrote all about it right in l, a there's like a cone of silence, Everyone was in on it, so threatened percent of the century. It was. the firm desire of the oligarchy, who ran LOS angeles, that news news of local corruption and scandal be ignored or written about so bleakly that it would take like a decoder to to decipher the story. Bad news was bad for business and bad. For both embed for land speculation, good, so good long term, yeah everyone's in on it under chief James Davis and mahershala, the old crew saw the chance to take money to make money again guys, like detective lucic. Lucas came back. Good. The old gangs back together. Why? Why? Wouldn't you have that guy better lie like three years he said a lot of time to plot
I remember how I was forced to resign because I tried to take them that city council guy in the frame up job well dating back and I'm mad. Now Lucas went to work for central vice squad, members of the senate. Vice squad were enforcers and bag. Man for mobsters and politicians to the They pity central vice squad roam the city serving as the ultimate enforcer and collector of organised vice operations with the tec, going with the take you in all up the line to the central organizer Josiah, the mayor's brother so there are literally like that. The gangsters dont have to hire no guys to go round to collect money right cause. The cops are just doing good, so it is a failing. they take the money to the fucking mayors office and give it to his brother. Say what
but that is a cool, may live in. What I believe is nobody, has your fucking bad? Nobody gets its. Somebody beats the fuck out. You just gotta, take aching reported guy peter It be so you got any cash. Give us your money! Why? Why you're the cops? That's it we're going in the mayor's office you're going to be the fist squad, The fifth point, Joe I'm in the salary squad hundred regret squad leader the regrets Joe I was a former lieutenant with the: u s navy and he had been put in China. of the lapd one of the rules. He he was so he could control the lapd. I would keep chief Davis on a short leash, because Davis did tried it in some ways: fight crime. He was we try to find out
yeah right cry, lay out a soon fell into the hands of the italian and american mobs gangsters like jack, dragnet sicilian, stir bugs single and his right hand. Man mickey con both of eastern europeans sat moved in from the east coast, cities to profit from the booming vice business in Ella, so Second, as everybody knows that everybody knows everything all right, let's go back just go. I don't get the money you are based on policy where we could stay here, get in trouble or we could go there where there's no laws. It was by loosen lines between the gangsters, the lapd and city under the very crept leadership of district attorney, baronne fits so the district attorney's also completely in autumn grabbed cheap, It was for a mayor, frank shaw, with the help of the l a times so good thing that could possibly help is on the wrong side as okay right there's, no one. Nobody under what became the
reading matter relating to allay times bag bed of big, so great, to read like the article how bullshit bullshit from top to bottom, this article Go fuck yourself. The headlines go fuck yourself, river say other became known as the shah spoil system businesses repress pressured for five thousand down payments. Five hundred a month in protection money, while so all the city. Lastly, this you have to pay the cops and the mayor of five thousand dollars and then a monthly fee to not to stop the bag. Like to stop everybody here, here's here's! What I love about that is that there is a down. like it's a bribe yeah! Well, I dunno
financing for this brought, we might have to report to you that a credit age was buying out by low a pr fixed rate. You know one of you know what this effect. Your credit that lets you gotta forty scar. Right now. I know there were Now there were literally stealing money from you, but here's what I see for you: ok, here's your portfolio for us, Jesus Christ, five grand down. Not only was Josh are now aligned with the time mobsters, who are more overtly and finally criminal. He was involved in the sand If lapd promotions excuse what does that mean Joe sell answers to the civil service examination to become a cop and then to get a promotion. You had to pay for
are dollars. Okay, for the police academy, was beauty school, so any cop to get a promotion like. If you want to be lieutenant, you just paid, you had to pay money, so the the average monthly salary of a cop was two hundred dollars, and vice officers made like fifty from just graphs and in taking money, bribes, and what not. So the only guys who were moving up in the force word the crap like what they say you weren't crept. You didn't have the money to pay to get a promotion, so now the whole upper layer of the L. A police force is just all guys who are corrupt, who have bought their way there, so they could get higher. So it's like a pyramid scheme is appealing to get a higher promotion and then they could make more money be kickbacks. It's fucking its.
any place where you can buy promotion, I mean it's like candy crush fucking. What's the point man, I'm really, I'm really good. In the corporate ladder over here, but the honourable the officers of his red and intelligent squads were heavily involved, in places of graft and intimidation, the red squad tickets direction from the business community, focusing on the enemies of that constituency and the intelligence I've got its orders directly from the mayor's office which use the spy and force can use force on enemies of the shah's. The intelligence spied on. Anyone even remotely critical of the police department from crew setting. ro, journalist and editor carry MC lambs to superior court judge Fletcher baron the lists included the district Turning in two of the five members of the county board of supervisors, chief James Davis,
completely lost control the lapd good, so they Shaw's archest. Let's just I mean he isn't trivially pity and their elected crazy. What they're, using them for fucking say saying that the what they're gonna focusing on fixing- probably now, contrary to what I have said here, two days for a long time, was considered the second great lapd chief, in history. He served the city as chief for a total of eleven years during the twenties and thirties and except for his little break and at the time he was a much revered chief who did fight crime and move the l a p d forward. But We just gotta during his first really changed forever. The the firearms in the lapd. He set up the gun rain. She gave races, forgot accuracy, any waged war criminals, if you want Hamidi wanted one of these shoot to shoot and kill the drip, yeah yeah beat them up was beaten up really bad. I believe the term was
Bodies in that did stop alone, well as says it will, except for the other guy. Second the cops it stopped, all the external, not ok, crime against. All the! Not ok cry the, not ok. Crime is going advise you base and talking about black eyes. It makes your words your were doing at the time Davis also developed the police academy, which they didn't have before and improve the use of police radios and hot sheets, which was a list of recently stolen cars Davis' outright assault on the criminal element led to a drive by on his home kit and a thirty seven drop, thirty percent thirty seven percent drop in crime,
Okay, I I'll just suggest the shitty crime. It's like giuliani, yeah right, the bullshit shitty crime is going away, but the banksters treated in the ass yeah right, so he but he's also protecting vice and doing favors for the political machines. Then, along came a very religious man. Clip Clinton low, was a righteous man in a city of filth. He was born in berkeley in nineteen hundred his parents were missed, areas who, on a chain of restaurants in san francisco gave them the resources to travel around the world and spread the word of Christ. He was raised to be courageous. his father ted, a rope to him and lowered him down a well to grab a child who had fallen in Jesus yeah, ok, that'll, that'll, put hair on your chest, org or call the fire department.
We're just put the rope them or robed over your boy on or cover the fuckin. Well, we have. Obviously I mean you don't know. Where do we need that person on the street well of all or with the global operates? Jesus. I leave you with a clear as day and the wealth quivered dropped out of high school at the age of fourteen and went to her for his dad's restaurant jane, while bussing tables and washing this is, he began dishes. He began pulling together on ethic of how a business should be run, ok based on the credit, the christian precepts he learned from his father. Ok, he complied these into about manual and three notebooks. It was. It was what he called I the quote manual of operation, and it was unique and radical for the time okay, but for dedicated the resulting volume to his father. His quote constant source of inspiration. That's nice. His father, when presented with clifford's business ideas fired
Ok, good! That's gotta! Be nice! That's further cuts for the record scratches right! Well, this is the point where he I think in life. He learns. He give relegates anger from it's right. But why says this is where his father? Why? He doesn't it all share his business or his business. Ideas are going to be insane if, based on christian ideals, you'll see how crazy they are but you can also see that this is where he was like. Well, fuck you fuck in firing you, sir, they got his anger from this and he got his lake. Not nothing can stop me at a time well for you but Clifford, held onto his ideas and when he moved to us angles in nineteen thirty, one along with his wife and elder and their three children who use them to start a new kind of cafeteria on six. One aim of street in tat tell us Angeles of terrorism, nineteen thirty los angeles were wildly poplar and very profitable. In nineteen thirty one Clinton open Clinton's pacific,
These, which featured a giant waterfall jungle, murals an appeal asian grass hut inspired by his explanations of the south pacific, as well as station garden. Risa, we gotta get our hands on his manual. I think that they shirt rainforest cafe right the employee wow, that's is, I thought I saw You didn't go small hill, I veal. Why is that all you say I'm a bit they should area along by gathered. Here, though, always I click Clifford today, clifford clip quivered either way I mean those
they one of my name's first, the other one that maybe I'd like to know both my name's, maybe not in the right order. They might. They might be looking my name in the library as a deeply christian man Clinton believed in helping the poor. While the country plunged into the great depression. It was written policy at clifford's cafeteria. That quote no guest need go, hungry for lack of funds. He put it in bright neon over the door next less than unblurred pay what you wish. Customers called it. The cafeteria of the golden rule in its first ninety days it served ten thousand free meals. Ok are used in to see where his dad ends with the business. This is a terrible business model or the idea that you put it like it would be one thing if you just had like a low down policy that some people knew about, but it'd be like just pay what you want. Everybody eats galois, a nobody.
any money well years more money is not a thing here: hey honey! Let's crunch those numbers. How we look it you mean more in the red we lost nine million thou. So how is that possible Well, it's the great depression and you'll serve anyone. Author rape, library is said to have taken advantage of the policy and charles burke husky mentions. It mentions the restaurant in the novel. Well, it's not gonna put money in your black bukovsky than Is you hit anything? That's not a good sign that he was like eating rats in check and whiskey on a street corner here, It's very true that you don't want to quote from Heaven. You lucky store, there's nothing they can make you feel dirtier in the way we all right it I'll be here because gave you could throw up on tables in shit. I took a dump when the kitchen, but cowskin I slept his wife and got waffles
Literally, do whatever the fuck you want here. I gave myself I wish the animal in the kitchen book koski review, of clip clipped in the cafeteria. I lit it on fire, I'm a part owner, but Clifford clift in the cafe wasn't credibly successful. That sounds like a dr seuss line right there It was, and he was he was on his way to becoming one of the city's wealthiest restaurant owners to tell people must be ass. He was giving way food. Other people must have thought that was good and just started eating their in pain. But even then I know I don't know how worked either, but he made tons of money. It doesn't make any sense, but he made a shitload of money. Kay I think I believe in god, and he became the city's most power four restaurant honour what he was baby basely invented the new deal before the new deal-
meant that he was giving away and at the same time he was make on right because it because He wasn't array the restaurant like if he was helping people than you would go walk over can help that go uncle paper. That is, I can afford it, and it must be that right at right, be that people just sort of paid it forward a little bright. I think that's exactly what happened so Clinton's wisdom was on this. Play am every table in a weekly newsletter called food for thought which aired among others. complaints from dissatisfied, customers about greasy trays or called coffee, followed by a Clinton's, culpas or defense or defence defends. I like way that our yet I wanted to go fuck yourself, you know we were we really busy. That answer will reserve seven, ten thousand people for free, I'm sorry, your coffee was called. Maybe you just don't know what called is get out as Jesus
add oh you're complaint about your free food? Go fuck yourself! Jesus Christ said the food for thought. broach more serious issues. Clinton's integrated dining room drew praise from many. But not all quote- I have always light Clifton one letter from nineteen, forty four big, and but yesterday to negroes, came and sat at my table after that. The food tasted like sawdust, ok, first of all, first of all, that's not what happened food that is not at the magical power that does this dust. Every time black people come near. My eggs, it turns into would know it's terrible. Oh no! Don't walk by my eggs out damn and Chet I mean I just paid nothing for that yeah good. Lord Clinton responded that but not violate christianity, the constitution and is unconscious by treating blacks as second class see. That really is amazing. Right disguise
this guy is talking to me, because even I mean at this at that time. It was to be your. I always wonder what would I be like in that you have to think that your mind is Then there are also many society. You grew up in a way where you're taught to believe a certain way and that those people who but he's Chris So so a true christianity doesn't see color appetite, but I know I know I think about the south. Then you go wait a minute it most religions. I mean there are plenty of people using religion to to justify slave warming. Didn't think black people were real until the seventy. They still don't. I mean they still don't write I mean they did they did while the utah jazz played their life, they acknowledge they acknowledged, and then we just talked to god and he loves the jazz. I guess we gotta, I guess we gotta believe in the the black people cause they're going to have a basketball, it's okay. They still had a lot of white guys on it.
yeah? He said if colored skin is a passport to death for oh, oh, oh, if colored skin is a passport to death for our liberties, then it is a passport to Clifton's he's a good guy yeah. Fuckin saint yeah, the lowest, employ, had a stake in the company, which was run by two voting boards. One of rank and file on the other of managers, Britain's manual of operation stipulated a fully paid medical plan for his workers, something which was completely unheard of at the time he also but all of its employees come by and swim in his poor and his lips. Police harm whenever they wanted. So this Just this guy is christ there. It here he had opened a second cafe where every meal costs just ones I am really waiting for the fucking bottom, the drop here, because this is what's happening there.
Power imminent, have a genie, the local powers that be were furious. Of course right could we have been severely condemned Our operation of the penny stated a clifton brochure which listed among the complaints, the fear that quote it would cause more drifters to remain in our so now you talkin about yeah yeah. Now we're back to the vagrants This was a time deal with. This is a time when the dustbin was raging ugly, so People who don't know what the does ball is, in god oversee the twenties today. well you're. Not year was, but you know it hit big and like twenty nine I think, but so in in the mid west. They just had poor planning for farming I didn't exactly know how to do the soil and then a drought hit and just dust storms were covering everything. Just went for all the way from like Oklahoma, storms went to new york like,
was just horrifying. That woman at the restaurant blamed it on black pit. Well, it was the black the middle they came. They were beneath her ex husband that crops into that ma'am they're, not witches, ma'am, they're devils. Look at my eggs that that's those are eggs. Look at the side, I see eggs. I I mean I see eggs too, okay, but eat them. or eat this terrible, isn't it tastes really good? Well, that's because they've been gone for a few minutes now they've turned back into eggs. Okay, I would like it's a proximity thing. I would like not to be that god before you for a long time excelled that curbing migrant and immigration of underside, undesired populations. California has historically band, undesired migrants or its borders, including chinese in the late nineteenth century, the japanese, their early twentyth century, the mexicans at the onset of the great depression antics, Any sentiment had existed in california since the mid eighteenth century. It was believed that the chinese were
quote, demoralising and degradation to california people and that they were dangerous to the community. chinese exclusion had better have always been very offensive. Now, my god, it's horrifying. It's just unbelievable a little too apologetic sometime a year, and I don't like I dont like the sources that they put on some of the wind and the problem is dave that their cultures, blood into your mind and your mind, is poisoned right and then they use, but I will say they used like a lot of dark chicken meat, the hatch I'm not really into yeah, weird yeah. I don't like duck. That's why we should've that's why? In the we random up in the camps for a little while right rail border that is now they're using dark chicken me that's fair use the breast. It's a good time, The chinese exclusion act passed by the federal government in eighteen. Eighty two barred chinese immigration and prevented the natural, nation of the chinese who were already in america. The fresno republic reported quote jack
he's. Coolly. Immigration is of the most undesirable class of people possible. So that's just a just a newspaper, as does the nicely. The headline. Japanese people are terrible extract. Shall we ate the japanese spittle David colonel earlier advocate of chinese exclusion, said in eighteen, ninety two that quote jobs, brought here now in countless numbers, two demoralising discouraged, art domestic labour market and to be educated at our expense, which actually, if you took Out there in your place, it would mexicans my dad would say that, war years. Woods, amazing, is we just did the thanksgiving episode yeah so, It's really amazing how the why quickly took another culture off of it. Like no cultures allow. What do you think that has just come out his sublime
and you don't know about yourself at all as ireland that we took a couple of hundred years ago that this for a little while now- and what are you mexicans doing here? They live here for a century due to how fucked up it would be doesn't lab, get of your land, that's now, ireland. Ok, you get a land is land. I mean it's, my the onset of the good Depression, the federal government sponsored and supported the mass expulsion of mexican immigrants. It was also report that a total of three thousand four hundred ninety two mexican left on rep ray rip repatriation trades from san bernardino between them. thirty one in eighteen, thirty, three weight, so they would just repatriation, we're just taken their land and ship back. The time but now the probably seven meal on the train right I'd know. Now the problem was white people that does not violate the dust bowl was raging in the mid west in the rockies, were coming many
essentials resident saw quote: oki is to be a menace to there. today the migrants were seen as culturally inferior to annually knows and were distinguished as a separate and alien social group, I'm gonna love. This John steinbeck conveyed the negative connotations of the term oki in its groups of wrath quote well, oki used to mean you is: Oklahoma now means eddie son of a bitch oki me scum, don't mean nothin itself, it's the way. They say it, love I love, love, love forest raised this kids life, it's so great. How are we? How are we going to figure out who to hate they're, all white? Alright, here's what we do. We You had a plate of eggs days like she has there. You know he has around there's an isn't: oki the population The popular of eugenics at the time also contributed to this stigmatized image of the ok, the genetic claim.
That rural isolation and poverty were harm. Hallmarks of hereditary inferiority mark the opium as lesser that that's great This is the great ye I will someday visit at sunday will do a dollop, ani jackson's fucking insane scrape, so they just we're strata What better? Not everybody! three. They re table yeah it's over. three hundred. Fifty thousand desperate refugees flooded the state they were promptly stereotyped xx reservation minority. They are considered Listen, lazy and irresponsible had too many children and end. If we improve the labour camps and put a table in, they would chop it up and Kindling there were signs at theatres, reading, negroes and agree. Ok go upstairs. Christ californians quickly applied degenerative traits to this migrating class,
I think it easily distinguish themselves as culturally superior. The cookies were seen as ignorant, shifty and incestuous, while annually to consider themselves educated, progressive and christian yum, yeah yeah, oh keys. negroes upstairs the other. I mean if you were an oak, It was the been like down. Would like black me. Without you- and I were but generally when the hour was it like the warriors generally general even then happens. Those two groups find each other. that's a starkly, though it's happened in america is when, when like the irish and the blacks, are competing for same job on the same level. Then they kill each other. This is what I called and jerry springer theorem yeah, like the guy's cheating, his wife with this other girl, you bring out the other girl. Nobody hits the dude. The two women just beat the shit out of each other, and that laden
arms up. America see you at the smithsonian Yeah what's happened you this was only the garrison. Well just doing a man on his springer theory, man who should not be on the stage, is on the stage. So then these tend to comes out and they start fight. Why? I kind of day what happened in new york civil war. I should have written more of this down dave, I'm in the audience. at the time there groups established to create whereas in southern california one of those was the all the all year club of southern california shirt which I guess would be the aim, Y see s c. Depression and the desperate provided a challenge for tourists, clubs of california, southern california, We are worried that the all your club
increase the number of job seekers because it's better to starve in the sun than in the snow dust so that all your club side, the chain their advertising focus from enticing tourist, discouraging people from relocating to the area that amazing marketing strategy we need to make it look share ok, so here's one other advertisements quote come to southern california for a glorious vacation, advise others not to come seeking employment less they be. it's appointed but for the tourist attractions are unlimited. That's catchy that is very that you're not going to forget that jingle I'd love to hear to to contest southern california for work, laura kitchen advise There is not the calm seeking employment unless they be disappointed by the tragic living like a how
but nobody can say we could cut that in half, hey guys, I think that's worthy of a little log and it shifts which is strange for slogan. There's a turn there Do turns really confusing the california, but I'm scared. Ok, we're going to California, but don't go there seeking employment. However, we are excited for some of the attractions. What do we do it for spring? the lapd began arresting and jailing, ok on vigorous in charges. Many were often fingerprinted and deported to the state line. the velvet vagrancy is really just a way of just being able to arrest them right. Julia, Is there a law against poor people said they don't have a place actually states so that they can prove they live anywhere. You can just arrest them and get rid of that just a. But that's the way to get rid of lower, cloudy uneasily the vagrancy laws route, which declared that the person who realms about from place to place without any lawful business is a vagrant and is punishable by a fine
and not exceeding five hundred dollars or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months or both. So so, you'll be illegal. The chair so you find the guy without a house yeah. That's the best way to go. Bad thing is to find that find the homeless, because then they can, then they can dig their way out of it. Where's your house, I don't have what bihar it's illegal Well, here's this ticket. What are you talking about? Get out of this town is taken for five hundred what're you going to do now will now double homeless. don't fuck! Well you're, under arrest for being fucked, wait. What that's a big find now get outta here. What is that a tier as another right you keep at it, but in what way, not enough zone after the chamber of commerce suggested they open up hard labor camps in southern california, great great great business people,
chamber of commerce, always great ideas. At least now we hide the bullshit. Then you can just like go to the town centre just be like. We should exterminate this race. They'd be like well, where we're going to vote later, we'll do a vote. James Davis. Decided upon another plan about became known as the bum blockade. Good, he said, He said one hundred and thirty, six lapd officers to the border of arizona, oregon and nevada there are orders were to turn back all immigrants with no visible means of support. los angeles times favourably favourably compared chief Davis to england, sixteenth century. Queen Elizabeth quote launched the first war on bumps. Well, first of all, that's news to me that you not know about the warrant, but that she had a war on bumps. They had a big vagrant in england. I would imagine there was a lot of snickering when that war got, and that was a lot of the people that ended up on the boats going to america. They would they would arrest vagrants and see what happens, see what
I love the art sick. What happens in answer to charges? the blockade was an outrage, the los angeles times editorializing. Let's of more outrageous cause custom. So angeles times was like a crazy ass a rich uncle that you had as opposed to a newspaper. Let's have more outrageous that people are like this is outrageous. Let's A more outrageous is it appear even fathom that sentence. What's of more outrageous. The newspapers I'm completely match. You have not read the shit out of me. can advertise, but we should vacation in California. We just get down one. We noticed day stay here: employment. After a couple of months, Davis was forced to end the blockade due to lawsuits and a shortage of funding, mean I'll Clifford Clinton was enraging people by offering free meals- oh my god, so he's like a pure
well compared to everything else that is going on. We have a white knight in the town, you know, so I promise not to ruin the sky. This will be the guy, I'm not going to ruin the skin. Now I promise dave. I promised David. Yes, here's the thing, at you right is that you're lying and you're glad to do it, because no there's going to be a fall for he's, he's going to there's somebody's gonna, get theirs greasy at paws on him and something's going to hit yeah? Now? I can even tell by your fucking face yes, the I actually I'll go as far as to say. The next thing you say is going to be fucked up. No, it's not that bad. It is awful by the end. No, this is a good thing by the end of the decade, those in l a it takes, we call him dictator, Clinton and dear los angeles, fewer and quit him was stolen. the good thing that is only a gambler monster. Yes, but it is plain to see the world from hunger he also to save allay from traffic and crime and social ills.
That I'm waiting for a nineteen. Thirty five eloquently supervisor john anson ford s quick to investigate food operations at county general hospital, forethought Clinton business success. His community area believes and is robust defence of them, made him the right man for the job and he was right government had descended into a cesspool of influence, peddling, kickbacks protection, rackets, police in terms action in shakedowns and public employees under mayor It shot. Everything at city hall was openly from sale from building permits to jobs with the lapd and city contracts were awarded without competitive bidding and people in city government were pay to use designated. Doctors and large industries were slid solicited for bribes. In return for the shot administration, sponsoring of legislation designed to try their smaller counterparts at a bit perfect, its normal set up for success. That's when meanwhile francs per the joe was selling the lapd jobs
good and promotions right out of the city hall, so it's that's what we okay, of course, the food operations at county general hospital were no diff. So Clinton's final report was shocking: patients were being served, low, garret, great food, which was often spoiled while waste and favouritism. Whilst in the county a hundred and twenty thousand dollars so clear Am I right click? Please don't do this job now. What was really on the radar of the powers that be all of a sudden Clinton's cafe was hit with random health inspection and food poisoning. Complaints Clinton was furious. That's the thing we're dead, it comes in, whereas dad said you know, you're fired. This is where he's like. Fuck, you, okay, don't fight this way, that's where he got that don't fuck are you. He is going to be preserved this man he vowed to fight back. Okay. In ninety Thirty seven, he got an l, a county supervisor, John ashen, for who got him the original john inspection thing got. He got him to appoint him to the county, grand jury,
Ok, now the county grand jury was a bit of a wild card in LOS angeles each year, the counties fifty g is but a point. Nineteen people to the jury and the joy, it would have leeway to investigate any wrong doing in the county. it was. Maybe the one thing in los angeles at the time that could actually push change right, but most of the people on the grand jury were appointed by crooked judges and they wanted nothing to do with what Clinton was up to get but Clinton had the power of the people. On aside, he rallied less annually knows enforced mare, shaw to let Clinton create a committee of us. To examine vice and l. Now, at this point, it's an oh. We need at this point is an open secret, so when one shot Is that he's a get go? Tell anybody everybody! What knows it and have a good time, you're fuckin chef pitch, they crashed chef, go fuck yourself! You can have your little
so Clinton hired investigator named Harry Raymond. Ok, Harry Raymond. We like him, carry had that a private invest. It has, since he was forced to resign from the lapd right of re city. Cats, combine work like standing in the bushes. That's one way while they set up a honey pot state. What are the four guys hey? What's happening, like a fucking elroy novel, is perfect. Yeah he's great so plaid. So he investigated and Clinton's investigated revealed six owner brothels agent. Look and three hundred gambling houses, which was fine. Everybody knew that, but she I had made a horrible air Clinton now had the resources to Caen can you investigating. He could use the committee and his investigator to expose the bribery, kicks backs and systematic
views that flourished at city hall and the lapd. Ok, but the grand jury refused to publish the report. Of course, although Clinton had an ally, and judge, Fletcher bauer, and who remember that was the judge merrily at the gas spying idea in fucking with so he over the grand jury and the report was published. Ok, the report was scathing. It found that underworld profits we're being used to finance the campaigns of sitting canny officials in vital positions and exchange local officials from all three of the principal law enforcement agencies in the county, the district attorney's office chefs barman, the l, a p d work in complete harmony and never interfered the activities of important figures of the underworld, grand jury format John Bower called Clinton public enemy number. One as terrible as it sounds.
Do go to inhale fucking everything up that really tells you what a great world you're in. I know he's public enemy number one hey! This guy is revealing all the bullshit we're doing get him out of public enemy of mother fucker. rather than a mere as the cafeteria kid in the early times followed suit the el eight times, because you exposing mass of corruption right call him public enemy, number one media, it's great! when things got ugly, a notary named frank Angelo appear before the grand jury to testify that the grand jury foreman was a shock crony. So now, ok, I'll Clinton is turning its back on the andrew foreman, who call them public enemy, never one so that neither the grand jury, foreman, the district attorney and squatted. Lapd detective showed up at the notaries house and beat the living shit out of ceases and he was hospitalized. Then
Night of october, twenty eight nineteen, thirty seven, a bomb exploded in the basement of Clifford Clinton's home, miraculously no one was hurt. After a brief investigation, the lapd said the bomb was planted by Clinton himself more to get more publicity at you. Fucking. Imagine how awkward it is when the cops come to investigate the bomb they put in the hay. So we went downstairs and we think you did this yourself yeah, I figured you'd, think they'd get the fuck out. Can I think we might a restaurant? well you're under arrest the bomb in your own basement nice, Try, publicity, Seeger fingerprints on foot while your car was seen speeding away from the scene. By his car that had license plates the title to the lapd intelligent division. They used a cop, are they really they're so still real? That's the intelligent division that youth,
It's quite a lot to Bob. I was just put every plates on. It will give one of the stolen fucking cars are a very take bikes, the good god. Well, let's take the cop, other about two and a half. Months later, on the morning of january, fourteenth nineteen thirty eight coins, private, detective harry raymond, start up his car and it exploded turns out after a minute, dug up all of the evidence linking the nearly a pity, the and the world, instead of turning it over Clinton. The first thing he tried to do was black. But I mean I like that. I support the move. Like me, I'll, be right back, I'm still dig it.
hey guys guys, I gotcha, let's put a bomb in your base. Have you heard of the blackmail squat as just a bunch of black, ok,. Now, is carbo up. Yeah raymond survived, despite suffering a hundred Eighty six shrapnel Yet he took it story to LOS angeles, examiner and placed the blame on lapd captain Earl connect, whose spying on raymond, so this guy was buying on yeah. So he knew he was by on level because it was big story with connections to Clinton right after the Clinton bombing the day was forced to open an investigation and eleven senator Hiram Johnson, chamber of commerce director, frank dougherty, spread the situation quote a near psychopathic district attorney is investigating a crooked police department. Lapd captain cunette was arrested for attempted murder,
The trial got aware got under way in April of nineteen thirty, eight, the evidence against can it was damning. He had personally purchased the steel pipe using the bar The trial also reveals that, can it have been running shaw's secret spy squad, spies squad when police chief, J davy took the stand. He defended the intelligence programme when pressed two why certain men were surveyed, Davis, admit, That's some of them were simply quote attempting to destroy confidence in the police department, which was presumed to crime, worked investigating, doesn't Why are we smile because they're, ok, Is the worst piled on them, because they're trying to figure out if workers, their public enemy number one look there do gooders and we as cops
okay, hold on I'm a stat that overweight were good people, okay, they're they're, bumps yeah? I know more questions like I don't like them. That's why we're doing it? Nobody questions that was canet was convicted and Davis was disgraced, Clinton demanded that shot fired. Avis shall refused kite, because without Davis, the city hall slush underwear, the lions, would fall apart and so clifford clay then, when, after shot himself a key as the fuckin restaurant guys, guy the city charter, your dad after they tried to blow up his house right. This whole thing is fucking hot night in Iraq, probably got a while, but I'll take it down. I'm gonna go to his grave Zeit. Put three manuals on other city. Judder, a bear would be recalled by gathering enough signatures and calling especial election
never been successfully done before, not los angeles, not in any major american city, despite the constant police harassment, Clinton and his band of reformers gathered a hundred and twenty thousand signatures cheese. To put the recall, the ballot, judge, Fletcher baron defeated shaw and a landslide LAO bower enforced davis to resign. mayors, brother Josiah was convicted of sixty three counts of selling civil civil service appointments and promotions day fits was defeated in the next election, the corruption triangle, of los angeles was destroyed, organised crime figures fled to las vegas in mass wow, maybe died of a stroke, eta montana ranch in nineteen.
