So LAPD has patches for Officers assigned to traffic divisions. There are patches for units when they wear bdu’s. Patrol does not wear patches and that goes back to the start of LAPD. I was once told LAPD doesn’t need patches, because if you didn’t know who they’re when they got there, you did when they left haha 😂
@@Mark..ShotsFiredPodcast No problem. Really liking the content. I listen to it while driving to work. Colors is one of my favorite movies. My father was LAPD. The gang unit referred to as CRASH still exist but under the new name of GED which stands for Gang Enforcement Detail.
Hey I am a retired firefighter from Texas and I really do want to say thank you all for everything y'all have done y'all have protected families friends and all of that and y'all's community I also want to say my dad was an undercover narcotic agent in California in the 50s
Yeah my dad did have some good stories but he passed away in 2012 I miss him every single day and he was even undercover narcotic agent in California in the '50s and 60s and he met my mom and 1971 they got married in 1971 and then 7 years later I was born in 1978 but I would really love to like talk to you in real life man if you would want to I could give you my number and we could talk cuz I've been a fan of yours for a long time
Oh and baseball bats and sledge hammers were standard raid equipment before all this fancy stuff. I remember one guy grabbed the tire iron out of his trunk in case he had to pry a.door.
The "you owe me 1" scene would not have been an on the books open case. Hodges dumped the rock & crushed it so there wouldn't have been any report that was straight up street credit.
I grew up in South Central, Los Angeles in the 80's. CRASH was a shit unit and is a major factor in the horrible community/police relationship. They treated EVERYONE in the community like we were all gangbangers. As a black person, being called a "N*gger" is of course very disrespectful. But I'll NEVER forget the second time I was called that - Because it wAs by a CRASH Officer. I was only 11-12 years old walking home from school.
Sorry for your bad experience. That’s terrible and I think our profession has come a long way, but always work to be done. Thanks for watching and giving your input. Much respect to you.
You think kids peeing in the pool is bad, wait till ya got some drunks in the beer lazy river 😂 btw I seen colors when I was like 11, woke up at like 2am, and HBO was on. Priceless times 🙌
Good review. Fyi everyone used to smoke in the buildings and cars. The first things guys did after a foot chase was take out a smoke. 98% of that movie is the way it was In inner cities up to the 90s. Fun time to be a cop.
That scene where they have those two groups of men inside of those cells, they were all real gang members except for Don Cheadle, and I just wondered like, if any of them are even still alive today!
Hey thats a very interesting question because at that time is when the violence between the bloods and the crips was at its highest, now im gonna have to do a little searching on google to find out if they got a long or not 😅 Did you know that Mario Lopez appears in the movie as well? He played a gangmember! but he wasnt intimidating anyone😅😅
The color in these gangs are no difference from Republicans and Democrats. Red is Republicans. Blue is Democrats. Put these two in the same cell and you know there's going to be problems.
I grow up the 80’s and 90’s those we’re some crazy times. Some of the Homies and I build a repore with some of the CRASH officers. At first they came at us hard, it took them a while to settle in and figure out that this gangster life was 24/7. See we live in the jungle’s they were just passing bye. I know for a fact that some of the CRASH officers put there kids through college thanks in part by the generous contributions a lot of us made (unwilling). DO YOU WANT to go to JAIL or do you want to go HOME???
Learn about 4800 at LA County Jail. It was a Crip module. Crips were separated from the rest of the inmate population. Later, 4300 was created for the Bloods.
I was browsing TH-cam and came across your channel. I started watching and thought I recognized one guy. . Mark! I work with him and he's a great guy. Lots of respect for him, and watching the videos you all put out as well.
Corrupt police department? No way! (Show me one that isn’t.) Those cops may have gone to prison but I would bet my last penny that they were in protection rather than in general population.
I am sitting here trying to get comfortable and go to sleep and watch some reactions and stuff. I can't get one step further without addressing "TACops". All I keep reading is TACO cops...
That came out right after Training Day I thought it was a sequel. It was good it showed a corrupt white cop as opposed to training day showing a corrupt black cop. They had a short lived tv show showing bill Paxton as the corrupt white cop training the rookie who was black and by the book.
Great movie. A little slow with moments of action just like real life. I still miss rolling through the hood, windows down waiting for the sun to go down. Lots of fun days.
You guys probably found out by now that they don't wear patches because of tradition. Some units do wear patches though (SWAT, Metro Div, Traffic, K9, etc). I think either wear two patches or none. Wearing only one patch like Oakland does, is just geigh.
I know one thing I don’t live there and I know to this day LAPD don’t use a mic on their radio they straight up just talk on their radio. I notice LAPD wear their vests on the inside most wear it on the outside now. LAPD use green tazers when most use a yellow one. I see LAPD some officers carry a night stick baton when most do carry the collapsible baton.
First it was the six shooter revolver then it went to the 9mm berreta. Why they called it a service revolver or police issue berreta. Today they have that Glock and I’ll tell you some cops have a flashlight on their pistol and a holographic aim on it. I know a lot of old school retired police officers can’t stand police today saying it was worse back then and all they had was a revolver, baton, and pepper spray and they still do the job. Now they have the tazer and AR-15 which they use for everything.
@@charles1203My dad is retired Detroit Police...Street cop in the 70s and 80s and he had a .38 revolver. Funny to me that he got a retirement job at a local community college and he gets a 9mm glock.
When you get put on, the idea is not to get your ass kicked, or let them kick your ass. The idea is to see if you'll fight back and stand up for yourself. Fight back efficiently and you don't get your ass kicked, you kick ass. Different gangs have different "put-on" procedures.
Training Day I saw that in the theater back in 2001 I asked cops including my brother who was retired NYPD what was real and fake. On the directors commentary he told you everything was realistic. They worked with the LAPD on that shoot.
Not all cops are the same man. My dad is retired DPD, but ive had problems with the law and met some real asshole cops. Deputies at the county Jail are even worse.

The former LAPD police gang unit acronym CRASH stood for Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums!

Just FYI CRASH used to have a patch for their raid jackets. I have that patch somewhere.

Oh you already did it haha, just watched the end of watch video Thank you. Rockstars 🌟
Was just going to send you the link with an eye roll emoji.
Love the reaction fellas, you should react to the movie “Blood In Blood Out” I’m sure you guys will like it, stay safe out there!
We’ll check it out.
How about Michael Mann’s Heat (1995) starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro? An excellent heist film.
Thank you Jonathan for describing the movie 😂. On the list, thank you for supporting our channel.
Based on a true story . Very interesting too.

Back in the days when cops where real men. Miss those days.

What you mean by real man back in the day????
most of them were racists!
Good comments my sheriffs friends enjoyed.
Have you guys ever heard of All Day IPA? It's pretty good 🍺
No, but gonna check it out and if I can get some I will have it on the next break down.
We have now! Going to give that a try. Thanks Dman!

Depends where you’re at.

Those cops may have gone to prison but I would bet my last penny that they were in protection rather than in general population.
I think LAPD Specialty units where a patch and it’s simply a Cross within a circle on a patch that says Los Angeles Police.

You should react to dark blue

Back in the 1980s LAPD had .38 revolvers. Obviously that changed. They would have 22-round Glocks today.

@@shotsfiredpodcast50 Thanks sir. Stay safe have alot of respect for police.
Should patches - I heard it’s merely tradition. Rank is on the sleeve.
You should react to the series Southland. Kind of similar.
the shield great show its about the crash police
Stumbled on the p-cast love it ! How's about reviewing Training day ?
It’s next on the list.

Yall should do the series We Own This City
Not this moive training day is the movie about the rampart drama
It's still is like that and you still got to shot people or whatever it's all about the state and the set
Hey guys I’m enjoying the content. Please please checkout “Den of Thieves “ would love your take on it!

Nah u still gotta get jumped in
fools still get jumped in
