0:00 like if I was in a gang like that I'd be like I'm going to try to be a cop I think I think I would think that way you trying to think you're trying to go high level so what do you say let's say you're in the interview and then the guy's like were you ever in a gang what dude I do that all right is everybody here familiar with uh yep the LA County Sheriff's Department's Deputy gangs or clicks a little bit Yeah the Bandidos in there little bit here and there we've heard rumors explain to our fans what Deputy gangs are go ahead Bart there's a few of them Bandido is one of them there's one's called the Spartans uh and so the LA there's a bunch of them actually but the LASD has a bunch of different stations so like Marina del re South Central has one East LA you go all the way up to like SEI
0:50 Valley like they're all over the place and then some of them have uh gangs or some of them will have matching tattoos and from what I understand some of these gangs um started off as more of a comaraderie thing like let's be this exclusive like a fraternity Club fraternity and we're going to try to rise up together we'll do policing work better together a better understanding together we're like our own small little team and then I think be anytime you have any group like that there is tendency for corruption and then if you're in the police you have a lot of power so you can also end up uh getting in trouble and and then I've talked to a few people and then some of them have evolved so much to uh almost feel like a inner police Mafia so I've heard of uh
1:43 one of them having a three-part initiation one of them you must have smoked someone on the job holy one of them you must have uh cheated on your wife and uh the other person has and another member has witnessed it and then the other one uh has to have a nomination from a current member so that's like a that's a ████ game so it's like some training day ████ yeah for sure for sure for sure so if you don't have a wife you probably have to get a wife first I watched I watched I watched videos like this to cheat on her I in boys I got one like you said yeah cuz they try to call it out and then you know some people be like oh no it's just a fraternity within it but I mean they might they might not know either you know so but remember we had Aram Cho here and we asked him about that and he kind of was saying that they
2:34 weren't real remember maybe that's his job to like but he's not Sheriff though yeah he's a different yeah but do you have to be do you have to be to be able to confirm or deny maybe he's going to get smoked if he uh rats cuz he was a lieutenant dude that was here and and we were like what about those police gangs and he was like oh no like he kind of was like dismissive a little bit do you not feel that like anyone would be well I would have know cuz it's like but that makes it feel real cuz he was just like oh that's not like a you know that's what makes it feel like if a cop's saying that it feels real feels like oh he's being nice he's being cool well the LA County Sheriff's Department formally bans Deputy gangs or clicks like would they have to do that but they banned it before no wasn't it already banned they need to have a better job of like Internal Affairs ████ sniffing these ████ out
3:26 what if those guys are part of it too you never know ████ infiltrated that's all thought the Bandidos was a Mexican biker gang they have them in San Antonio oh they do oh maybe there's cops in that gang maybe they ride cop motorcycles no maybe they didn't trademark that name so other people are using it it was the same logo too aren't some cops like Mongols and Vos too I bet I bet they are I know some gang members that became military and then they joined a police department like here in Southern California and they stayed they stayed active gang yeah my buddies were helping them wow change their tattoos their gang tattoos Dam like if I was in a gang like that I'd be like I'm going to try to be a cop I think I think I would think that way you trying to think you're trying to go high level yeah if you're like hey we really want to take this gang stuff the next level I should probably be a cop that's what I would think so what do you
4:16 say let's say you're in the interview and then the guy's like were you ever in a gang what dude I do that are you kidding me dude you're good he's good me in a game yeah yeah you're now the sergeant yeah yeah it's like this guy's too good easy fix you can't crack so are they admitting that it exists now well it they did because they were they were just like clicks little bands of like brotherhood ████ and then they turned into gangs so it definitely existed they were like little frats inside of the and also it's like uh specifically former Sheriff Alex villanu have a like long downplayed the existence or influence of such organization as you do although he conceded during a January meeting of the sheriff's civilian oversight commission that some subgroups some people say he's one of them it makes sense sounds like it see that's my strategy is the become
5:08 the mayor from other people don't kill me if you're NOA I mean it's like he gave him your location them are sporting tattoos that like show their allegiance to like these like subgroups and then yeah we have what is this boys we're Fu careful boys don't ████ with us we stay faithful to our wives we're afraid of everybody we're an inter gang which is the whole gang let's say like in our if this is an intergang what are the three requirements o what are the rules you're ████ you got to kiss Bart you got to kiss B of the mouth at least once we have to witness you blowing money on something outrageous yeah you have to lose like six figures minimum six figures minimum in crypto you must you must have lost money on crypto or in life just in general that that'll work
5:59 too and then you have to kiss kiss Bart no that was the one I was am I going to have to be the one to State the obvious the white guy in the room really which what are you going to say Steve's white oh Steve the Steve has a tattoo he's on Dei Jared if you got some space on that ████ dud yeah if you got some real estate on your ████ it's looking real nice got real estate on my whole body I don't I'm a ████ you got whole real estate all over the place tatos you got a lot of space you got single family homes you got town houses you got complexes yeah you got to have the tattoo you got to eat Sonora town every week yeah dude one of your businesses have to be bankrupt yeah yeah Jared can't be in this and um yeah your wife's got of get mad at you every now and then something you said on camera publicly yeah but that's every guy
6:51 that's true ever that's every guy ever that's true I think uh I think my old neighbor was one actually too really but don't remember the the house that I lived in where um where you guys came over to do the interview the first time when you guys came to La uhhuh so uh I knew about them and I recognized the tattoo and he had a hoodie with that design on and then I was like hey have you ever heard of the Bandidos and then he was like what the ████ do you know about the Bandidos oh I just like read articles whatever and then and then we we were talking we just the answer alone wearing a hoodie with it yeah and then we ended up being we ended up being cool and then so later on I was like hey um like on a cop's salary like how do you afford to live in this neighborhood and then he was like oh we had like a like a
7:42 lawsuit with the city or whatever I end up winning and I was what was like the lawsuit he was oh you know like like I was driving in my patrol car this tree fell on me and then I was like interesting and then we would talk about real estate and he told me he owned like two three other houses in the city I was like what the those random falling California trees man I heard about them this sounds like this sounds like that training day where they like open the ground here's a ████ crate you know you get 100 G's and you get 100 G I was like damn that sounds ████ crazy why is he wearing the hoodie if he's like yeah no ████ hey what the ████ you know about that man stop looking no clues I just like the design man stop looking for Clues I got like another extra you want it I
8:33 like Graphics so there's a report released by The civilian oversight commission last year suggesting that at least a half a dozen Deputy gangs or clicks were active in the department with their activities leading to more than $55 million in legal damages against the agency if you're a reporter why don't I just say six you know what I'm saying I mean it just sounds crazier half a dozen of Bakers Dozen worth of gangs Bakers Dozen worth there's 13 of them according to the Sheriff's Department the policy unveiled Wednesday specifically bars participation in a law enforcement gang and soliciting others to become members of such a gang it also bars deputies from being members of any hate group the policy also requires department members to take part in any investigations in alleged prohibited activities it also notes that criminal allegations may be referred to prosecutors and allegations
9:23 of participation with any banned internal gains will be referred to the commission on peace officer standards and training which could lead to a suspension or revocation of a deputy certification but who's enforcing that that sounds silly to me that they're like all right cops no more this police yourselves yeah I think it's probably just like a public demonstration and like see I told you and and the Public's like oh okay cool cool cool cool thank God they're doing something about that the thing I didn't know about cuz the only two people that could would probably be Internal Affairs or FBI but who knows if they're what are what is their incentive to go and clean that ████ up yeah maybe I'm just more like what's the word um jaded but I kind of feel like that's the norm corruption and
10:14 not I mean not every police officer obviously we got some you know straight edge good cops there a lot of good on and we know some that are well so to the books they won't even do anything like steal a penny or a company pen right but also also I do know like for a fact some departments that are involved in criminal activity and I'm like but that's kind of like the way it goes cuz one of our closest friends um he's actually friends with a bunch of them and I'm like these guys never like try to like coax you or like nominate you and they're like no they know I'm too Square oh it's too dangerous yeah cuz he's just buy the books this is how I do things I'm going to go I'm going to rank up do this blah blah blah blah and then so he's a good cop and he does all whatever job supposed to be but he they just know that he there's he's too much of a square to ever bend the rules or do
11:04 anything but I'm surprised that his career wasn't compromised from being too Square either maybe he's not too Square where he's not going to rat out his fellow like he just look the other way yeah maybe
