The Murderous Police Gangs of Los Angeles
Los Angeles, America’s second largest city, has a horrible secret. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department - the fourth largest police department in the country - harbors dozens of criminal gangs within its ranks. These LASD gangs have been involved in assaults, the creation of false evidence, and even murder. Now, with the help of the brave journalist Cerise Castle, the story can be told. A Gravel Institute documentary.

Wayside Whiteys sounds like a parody gang, but here we fucking are.
Most gang names sound like parody because they came up with those names as young adults. They basically are parody.
Ridiculous to drive around in a car with the words "serve and protect" written on the side, when the only serving they do is of tickets and self serving, and the only protecting they do is of each other, from the law. But here we are. Surrounded by statues of cops helping little girls cross the street, as if they would ever dream of stepping out of their air conditioned car to do something other than extort and terrorize.

I've been in prison with some of these cops. This report left out the fact that these cops are into drug dealing, pimping, and extortion. They need to go RICO on them.
Yep, child and human trafficking!! I've seen the evidence myself from alot of people's personal stories "matching - who don't know each other." What are the odds?...that means it's true.
Oh yeah that's right, I saw something about the "Rico" thing...I will be doing some more research on that.
Yep, just cuz you have a badge doesnt mean your a good and honest person
They definitely need to RICO them, and they're not the only department with gangs.

I actually read about this in a 1977 issue of Penthouse magazine! I even asked a local police officer if he'd heard of such groups. He ignored me.

Police officers who break the blue wall of silence aren't rats, they're true heroes who show courage. Officers who hold the line of silence are cowards and dirty rats.
The line of silence is enforced by law too !
Yea I seen a interview were cops say they respect ppl who don’t snitch , then I realized oh they just a gang like pac said lol
Even the term “blue wall of silence” shows this is like a mafia. Omertà. Open secret.
damn right. I am 100% for the officer who has the courage to point out when they or especially their friends are in the wrong.
indeed they are, people dont get the amount of balls you need to have to do that

It’s fascinating to see so many people react negatively to the concept of accountability and regulation within a government body.
Because they been brainwashed to never question authority like law enforcement, the polices are always right and always have a reason for what they did to these people. Even with George Floyd, they said he wasn’t an angel and was supposedly on drugs at the time of his death. A cop could shoot a man in the head and they would say the drugs killed him at that exact moment
It's the abuse of that power. There's your lack of accountability & regulation. What else would spawn from this televised criminality & black or white treatment of the branded "bad guy"? Don't try to reason with anyone, but instead quietly judge that person & be afraid! THAT is what the system has become, has been making us become, rather --- an irrational group of individuals who fear one another just as much as the government. And that's why Trump is now president; to halt that evil bullshit. Judgments without a clear understanding makes people look stupid.
@@rynegreen7902 George Floyd was on fentanyl and crystal meth when he died it was in his system. Fentanyl affects your respiratory system. Crystal meth affects blood vessels restricting them causing the lungs and heart to work harder. George Floyd also had Covid in his system that also affects the respiratory system lastly he had a heart condition that was going to kill him within six months. He died from a overdose on camera was it hard to watch yes was the cop being racist? Maybe maybe not if you watch the call George was put in the back of the cruiser without being roughed up and he started screaming I can’t breathe I want to lay on the ground so they let him lay on the ground. What bothers me is two offers involved were Hispanic one was Asian but it turned into a racial issue that caused a chain of events that destroyed literally thousands of businesses they estimate 30+ people were killed during the violent protests because a career criminal who held a gun to a pregnant woman during one of his robberies died on camera off a overdose. As for this video absolutely call out cops who are killing people but also focus on the big number of Hispanic cops who are literally on the cartel payroll killing people. She solely focused on white supremacy gangs fanning the all ready high racial tension. Meanwhile gang members are killing people nightly. The LAPD is having a massive number of cops leaving the force and no one is joining causing staffing shortages. This leads to more violence on the streets.

Things like this are not just in California, it's all over the US, it does not matter the size of the department either. Corruption is everywhere. I was adopted by a cop in a large department in the middle of the US. I saw a lot of things go on in the department that shouldn't, being a 15 yr old kid I was scared to say anything. I live in a small town that only had 4 full-time paid officers and a few reserve for the weekends. I had a relationship with the assistant police chief for 2 years. I could have taken the whole department and city leaders from the mayor to the clerks down with the things I seen and some things I had video and audio recording from drug abuse, racism, embezzlement and a child sexual predator. I'm a single Mom with 2 kids living over 100 miles from any family support. I felt our lives would be in danger if I outed everything and everyone. I don't have the money and resources to move so I still have a lot of the evidence with me. I did out the sexual predators and turned over everything I had for evidence but I was guaranteed to remain anonymous. Once I turned what I had over and it was known that the pervert was under investigation several others came forward. He was removed from his high ranking seat, charged and is in jail with no bail. Idk how long it will be before he goes to trial but I'm glad that with all the other evidence from others I don't have to be involved and I'm able to publicly remain out of it and the trial. I was a neglect kid thrown into the foster care system. I spent 15 years running from the authorities. I don't know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing, but seeing first hand how corrupt the department that was designed to protect us I still have almost zero confidence in the system. The only thing that I couldn't turn my back on was a child predator and molester being in a high ranking position that put all kids in danger. I'm able to move from this area financially now. I'll never look back and hope to God the move is to a less corrupt area.
The racist officer and high ranking city official are no longer in their position. The officer died and the city leader was told to step down or they will be outed as a racist and for embezzling. All of this was from 2016 to 2021

Rare, How could a good cop exist? Every single cop, even the so called "good cops" have stood by and watched while other cops do their evil deeds. This = no good cops.
The way Los Angeles County is policed is also codependent with its prosperity. Property taxes fund the Los Angeles County Sheriff. Property values are bolstered by racist municipal incorporation - e.g. how Los Angeles partly incorporated the Port of Los Angeles to confiscate tax wealth from geographically closer residents in Inglewood, Compton and Long Beach. Property values are also bolstered by efforts to address the need of economically divested areas with an administrative class of public employees - including police - who may work in areas of need but disproportionately spend their salaries in the more prosperous zip codes they commute from. This serves as another mechanism to extract wealth and perpetuate divestment. I suspect that the law-enforcement subjects of this documentary disproportionately lived in places like Simi Valley, Santa Clarita, Burbank and more prosperous zip codes - far from the job sites where corruption occurred. (Side note: This easily dovetails with the question of why these places are more politically conservative). We need to re-imagine public services, including law enforcement, as components of representative government whose public investment remains in the zip codes being served.

@@curtissimmons2287 Police exist to enforce the law, not to protect you. In fact, they aren't even legally obligated to protect you, a federal court ruled. The chief functions of the police are social control, and protection of profit. It has historically been the case that police have been used to crush movements challenging the status quo, and that still is the case today. Whether it be workers on strike in 1921 or people of color protesting against racism in 2021, police have always been the oppressors. If you want a good book to read on the history of police, and alternatives to policing, I recommend Alex Vitale's The End of Policing.

That is so wrong. I had no idea that this is going on. Why is this allowed? So scary.
This is why I left law enforcement back at the end of the 1980’s early 90’s. I couldn’t tell the good guys from the bad guys anymore. Having a badge didn’t automatically make a person a good guy. I encountered a lot of officers that were worse than the people we were arresting. When I was pressured to either join in or look the other way was when I quit. I changed careers and became an electrician instead plus I moved to another state. I couldn’t stay in LA because I wasn’t safe. As soon as I quit I was a target. This has been going on for decades.

@Silungisele Mthimkhu the same reasons bloods and crips still beef, the same reason mob families exist the same reason there are rival cartels. Sometimes it's better and more efficient and better off if every group has their turf.
This is LA county when you used to have one or two groups that used to control the city things were bad but you could also easily blame someone. This is what you get as a result of the drug wars. Gangs are in it for the money crooked police are in it for the money. It's not to hard to see where it goes. As for street gangs alot of them have big families. If your brother is a five points blood but your a cop do you really want to arrest your brother? More then likely gangs and police work hand in hand. KKK, MS-13, Aryan brotherhood, Mexican Mafia, 18th street, Bloods, crips, latin kings, Jewish syndicate, the commission, the outfit, all these groups work together to some degree hell if you're hearing about the locals being corrupted ten to 1 the Fed's already have gangs within their organization.
@Silungisele Mthimkhu realistically speaking the streets work like this. If you make yourself an easy mark you will be taken advantage of and made a rube. Most of our institutions in drug money have been corrupted to one extent or the other. Weather it's cartels, the prison industrial complex, or simple drug money to be made of seizures. The drug war has destroyed all the nations involved in it. Mexico is now the world's most violent country that isn't in a civil war. Columbia probably will collapse as a nation, Venezuela is already bought by foreign countries and drug money, Cubas elite class gets rich off shoring cartel drug money. The corruption brought on by the war on drugs has rotted almost all of the american continent.
@Silungisele Mthimkhu They are gang bangers, not samurai. They don't give a shit about what's "fair".

The 2nd ammendment is way outdated
Reagan's best accomplishment was dying! lol🤣🤣🤣
Most people know about white supremacists in police. They just chose not to talk about it. Whites hate to believe they have privilege. Because it makes them feel bad. But truth is these gangs been around for a very long time. And target blacks
Imagine that this is only one department. Every city, every county in the US has gangs. They may vary in ferocity but they are absolutely present.
Uhh
The "Thin Blue Line" might as well be a gang sign.
The entire police department in my neighborhood Chicago in the 90’s was taken down by the FBI for shaking down and killing an undercover federal agent who they didn’t believe was an agent….the gang in my neighborhood didn’t even know the guy was a fed until the Feds showed up at 6am raiding entire police stations all over the city….the police were the MAIN gun sellers, hitmen for the Mafia And different gangs…the best organized criminals that FBI task force had seen… it was all over the news in the mid 90’s
Nah, Los Angelos is an exception because it's such a shity place
@Jhon Doe LMAO the dude cites how virtually an ENTIRE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT was running an organized, corrupt criminal enterprise and you go with the "few bad apples" argument. So fucking delusional.
“Less lethal” is still lethal and will usually result in at least severe injuries
During the 80’s those deputies in the LA County jail were extremely violent. I saw one of them crack open this black Cuban guy’s skull because he was talking in line. I think he died. He didn’t understood the command to be quiet because he didn’t speak English. That was only one incident.
great story. I've been filming cops for 4 years here on KZhead. I'm always amazed by what cops are willing to do and say ON camera. which prompts the question of what are they willing to do and say OFF camera???
Seen many of your audits
So you go around and film cops all day. You can't convince me you wouldn't say the same things if you had to deal with the scum they have to deal with it everyday. In those (4) years of filming cops, did you ever think of applying for a job with those departments since it seems you are interesting in that type of work?
@@dadofducks Do you like the taste of leather?
@@donkeyjoe4782 Rather than the smell of bullshit.
Same thing you would do don't act like your a hero I wouldn't do that yeah right
My dad always told me about these gangs. So many people thought I was just talking about conspiracy theories.
My dad warned me as a child back in the 60s, he told me to never make eye contact with police or look in their direction as it would provoke them to attack.
And rest assure your dad and those before us, their work to wake us up have not gone in vain!!!! We already heard word over hear in the south LONG AGO. It's about time people wake up!!
I used to live in Los Angeles CA area almost my entire life. I lived in Hacienda heights in the City of Industry. I can actually tell you something about the LAPD officers and also the City of Industry sheriff police department. They actually make false accusations, slander, intimidating, framing, threatening, and also false arrest on innocent people who are actually scared for life. There's actually a library book on LAPD officers who are actually using torture, harassment, and excessive force. I was actually stoped by the City of Industry sheriff police officers at 80 times, I actually counted all of them actually. They actually put some pressure on me then they actually tried to put more pressure on me. I don't know how to drive a car and this guy who almost ran over me saying that I would steal cars and I would sell them actually around the world. I always tell them that I need his name and badge number, they always leave in his car. I knew this neighbor guy who joined the CHP in Los Angeles CA but he left the force permanently for what they do to innocent people. He was actually on the force for a year before he left the force. I was actually told by military veterans that the police department should actually have respect for veterans but yet the police doesn't care. Even if you actually have $5 dollars on you to go to church or going to McDonald's, they actually think that you're going to buy drugs. If you actually have some money there's actually nothing wrong with that but to an officer they actually think something evil. To the LAPD officers and also the sheriff police department if you are actually not an officer then you are actually a criminal. People who are actually living in southern California area are more terrified than the dangerous criminals. At first people used to look up to the police department as the good guys not anymore they're actually worse than any criminals. What do they actually have on the side of the car, To Serve And To Protect? Who do they actually serve and protect in general? How many people actually driving around in their own car and then they actually got pulled over by the police? Then they may get fired for being racist and also corrupted when they actually found out the person is actually a police chief or maybe a judge. When I was actually living in City of Industry I seen police officers throwing up some gang signs, a picture. A white officer who arrested and pushed a black man who is actually an officer to the dark tinted window and shattered the glass with his head. The truth is that the white officer who was actually video tapped trying to make accuses after he saw the video. Everyone makes mistakes but yet is it making mistakes for wearing a certain uniform and getting away with it.
Tldr?
Actually....
TLDR: I lived in LA, they suck. Longer TLDR: I used to live in Hacienda Heights in the City of Industry, LA. The sheriff department officers make false accusations, slander, intimidate, frame, threaten, harass, use excessive force, and make false arrests. I read in a book they’ve used torture. I’ve been in 80 traffic stops. If you have 5 dollars on you, they assume you’re buying drugs. To them, if you’re not a cop, you’re a criminal.
@@diligar Thanks for taking the time to shorten this story I appreciate it

2009 i was torture and beetin to death some how i was broght back to life and was forced on camera to say that i didnt want to talk to every question they ask! This was the 3000 floor in mcj they broke my ribs my lung collapse. Anyway i was sent to prison on a battery on a peace officer! I was there for only a parol violation ended up with a new charge! Wish i could still do something about that.
Brilliant, amazing, and incredibly courageous!!
World-class reporting by Cerise Castle, I pray you remain safe the rest of your days. Thank you, Gravel Institute, for promoting her work.
I would prefer it if mainstream media also airs the same documentary, Gravel doesn't have enough reach to make this actually useful unless some producer at ABC, CBS, CNN or MSNBC is watching this.
Thank you for showing the world what we've known in L.A. for generations. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
I never head of this before
@@josephohara2457 only if you live in the ghetto sides of LA you'd know
@@josephohara2457 Yes, this is literally happening now and has been a thing. They have also been known to shoot,beat up, false charge, and or plant drugs on people as their ignition of joining whatever sub set of gang they belong to.
Grew up in LA… This has been known for years I think, in some parts of ‘the Basin’ anyway. The only time I’ve witnessed a person beaten unconscious with a stick… it was a cop holding that stick. Ya gotta walk a fine line between the two sides - the knuckleheads on one side or the Gang in Blue on the other. Be careful out there!
so basically you went into this video to talk with a wall gotcha
15:08 really hit me to hear because when i was transferred to ucla hospital for surgery after the beaten i received from the sheriff's i wondered what they would have tould my mom what happened if i didnt make it! I was charged with batterie on an officer so that is what they would of tould my mom. Thank you so much for bringing these cowards to light.

Most of it is lies, half truth and agitprop, ripped from 20-30+ years ago. Don't be so gullible.
@@ajaxjs You are wrong, bootlicker.
You new here to LA ? Or you don’t stay in South LA or the east side lol. This been known for the longest man, since my dad was here 80s-90s. It’s just finally getting spotlight. And officials and people in the board of LA county are barely doing investigations on the sherif department. But for the longest everyone knows not to trust LA Sheriffs, most corrupt and dirtiest cops. At least LAPD got a heavier leash and watched more then sheriffs.
The most likely reason you've never heard of this, even though you're an LA resident is because she had to go back as far as 1980 to drag up stories about some of these 'cop gangs'... thats FORTY YEARS AGO ffs lmao. I'm sure most LA residents and americans in general will agree that they're more scared of BLM, Bloods and Crips and MS13 than they are of FORTY YEAR OLD stories of cop gangs
@@theredbaron5117 Black Lives Matter is not a gang, it's a movement. Gangs like the Bloods and the Crips exist largely due to racial/ethnic poverty, inequality, inequity, injustice, gentrification, etc., which is usually so bad that it forces these people to turn to crimes (not always necessarily or inherently violent or immoral) in order to survive and thrive. It has been proven time and time again that heavy illegalization, criminalization, tough-on-crime laws, highly-militarized law enforcement, mass-incarceration, plus prisons with abhorrent/atrocious living and working conditions and treatment, combined with a lack of political, social, societal, and economical safety, security, supports, and protections, makes all of these problems much worse, not better in the slightest, or at the very least, does absolutely nothing at all to help whatsoever, if anything.
This young woman reminds me of my niece - very similar presentation. I have great admiration for my niece.
This isn't the first time I've heard of these inner department cliques. New York P.D. has had a similar problem. Drug dealing, weapons dealing, blackmail, evidence planting, are all par for the course for these thugs. And think about this, the police are qualified to legally own machine guns!

I hope Art is okay. He was already a hero before he outed these goons & he understands that those with power over life & freedom need to be held to our highest standard of integrity.
Inner-city LA citizens: Can we have some basic services? LA: Best we can do is enforce a line between your neighborhoods and those of the rich
this is the best comment here but its not addressed. This is sad and true. All the cops do is push the bad against their own people, protect those with money(it is fair here. once you got money you get treated better) but if you live in the REST of the city its rough. You gotta worry about the gangs, but if you in trouble with one be careful calling the cops. They might kill you instead.
Growing up in los Angeles in the 1980's the Firestone sheriff's use to plant guns on me and my friends or drop us in rival gangs neighborhoods

You hit the nail on the head! A every inconvenient truth. Cartels control Mexico, even their president grovels before them. Our decrepit idiot White House resident does too. The CCP is heavily involved with the cartels, especially when it comes to human trafficking and the fentanyl drug trade. The cartels are making inroads here in the U.S.
This is why qualified immunity needs to be taken away from law enforcement
But what of the honest law enforcement? Repentance will help our nation.
@@jpeterman6178 what???
@@boggsanonymous1787 Ooops! I didn't complete the thought. I mean for the corrupt law enforcement to repent and come clean of their wrong doing.
Yes, or at least tweaked. If nothing else, the burden of proof should absolutely be reversed. It is not the victims of criminal with badges that should have the burden to proof, using thousands of dollars in attorney fees, that Qualified Immunity cannot be invoked as a defense in their cases. No, it should be the officer that should have the burden to prove that qualified immunity can be invoked as a defense and/or for the case to be dismissed. But it would be FAR, FAR, to be enough in order to finally have the chance to maybe get half decent police officers. It needs to be a part of a big police reform. For example, their training and screen process are laughably lacking. It's not normal that someone who did a very introductory law university class during one semester knows more about the law and our rights than 99.9% of police of officer... How does that make any sense? We have people, completely ignorant about the law, hired by us to enforce the law. It's madness!
@@jpeterman6178 Repent? To whom? These pigs have ritual murder and ruining black and brown lives. They need to be put to death and those they put behind bars they need to go behind bars and be sentenced to the same amount of year the person they ruined was sent for.

This is just one county in the entire country. How many other gangs all around the country are there? Its insane.
One documented in the Portland area that *I* know of - “B’hood of the Str’g”, dating from ~ 20 years ago. There are probably more, and probably have been more, also. Wish there were a means of collating and organizing this and similar data that existed apart from the usual “coopted” means.
Hopefully all of em.
