You know “the neighborhood” you don’t drive thru.
If I drive through I wont even stop at the red light.
Good job perpetuating fear.
Keep on being cowardly.
I live in Chicago when i was a young female. and that is a big nice changes for cops✌👩👦👦❤🌎
Weird AF
I just have to say if NBC cannot stop airing everytime trump pulls a ‘press event’ that is truly a rally then I must stop watching NBC. I would be happy if they give equal time to Biden. How about just reporting truth. Truth from trump would take all of 45 seconds. I’m just sick and tired of the amount of time I see his face and hear his voice in a rant of ” only I can save you” Whether we like it or not many people think he’s so important or the news wouldn’t show him. Stop supporting trump lies.
I wish it too, yet Joe should first have the courage to walk out his basement.
Inspired leadership by the folks in that neighbourhood. Well done!
We Are All One be part of the solution

Why are you here????
India invaded Jammu and Kashmir including Ladakh in 1947 and the UN asked for a referendum. Since the referendum under the UN resolutions 91, 98, 96, 80, 47, 38, 39, 51, 122, 123, 126, 307 http://unscr.com/en/resolutions/doc/98 where the people could decide their own future never occurred Jammu and Kashmir remained an independent country under international law and on the UN Maps https://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/map/profile/kashmir.pdf https://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/map/profile/SouthAsia.pdf hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris have been killed by the Indian army and they want the Indian Army to leave. https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Countries/PK/KashmirUpdateReport_8July2019.pdf On the official UN maps Jammu & Kashmir including Ladakhis is shown outside India because it was invaded by India in 1947. The UN asked the Indian Army to go back but they refused and since then they have killed 500000 Kashmiris. Since 5th August 2019 the whole population has been put under house arrest by the 750000 Indian troops and the internet was cut
Wow. Omg
CORRUPT COPS USING YOUNG TEENAGERS TO SEEM LIKE THEY ARE A PART OF COMMUNITY POLICING, YET THE LEGISLATION / LAWS ARE NOT CHANGING. IT IS PR, NOT MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION. DEFUND THE POLICE.
Doodle Captain most of police are trying to help . You are right there is more then enough nasty cops but we can change have a pride in our selfs . Is it too late for that ?

Excellent!
Overwhelming force NEVER fails.
You know if you want the culture of police to change you may want to start by avoiding the term ” rookie”. ….
Why is it soooo much gap between poor and rich in US it’s unbelievable. US is still living in 1816.
My Acres. My Land. My Country.

Cannabis Farmer where you from?

Finally kids that wanna just be more then statistics good job kids
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Cops are part of the system. You should show that to the citizens around like “tore where most people have been killed by cops”
You see now thats how you do change! This should be an example for every department and those kids are what should be the model citizens for America!
You are very naive, as long as the gangs still exist so will the need for aggressive law enforcement.
This is a start
Well dont.
That’s what’s up I love the community like God bless y’all
This is good
Need to take some of their home Boys around on a tour so they can get to love there neighborhood and stop shooting people so they can have a community
Whos’ homeboys’ ? The cops or the neighbors
Sara Ford neighbors
Are you trying to be funny? Cause that suggestion is pretty daft..
Fantastic idea. Every city and town should implement this!
ns0122 this is what defund means
the kids are looking for their fathers
@Patrick you didn’t have to do em like what…
Shawni Edwards don’t see a problem with it
The wise build Bridges the foolish build walls and barriers this statement is from The Book of Proverbs in the Holy Bible
Dear Dolores Jackson: Please direct me to the book, chapter, and verse.
@eddyvideostar sorry about that was a Japanese proverb
So many people want change but don’t know how so they can’t develop a plan. This is a brilliant idea. For the neighborhood and for the cops.
Ba Doai Thai food? Yes please.
@geneticepistomology
Superior firepower is my solution.
To Genetic: This is a great idea … for the daytime!
eddyvideostar I completely agree if you read any of my previous comments, you would know I don’t think this is the answer to the worlds problems. As these kids grow up, should they still live in the area they will know a lot of police officers. The humanization of the police and the population of the neighborhood should bring some good. After, what I imagine will take a while, then it would be possible at night.
LAST CALL so No solution? Got it
https://youtu.be/9oSrcRO9RW8 checkout my vids everything is edible 👍🏻
Cool
JESUS LOVES YOU. come back. 💙
Absolutely love this! I want to see more of this. Efforts from every side, working together and creating solutions. Thanks for sharing their uplifting story and showing your audience that every community in America is lived in by good people. I work in a similar neighborhood and it has its assumptions about it from the outside too. But what I KNOW is that these neighborhoods are filled with mostly good people surrounded by crime. They are more likely to be a victim of a crime than a criminal. I hope young cops learn and understand that most people they interact with are victims of crime and responding with empathy to situations in which they interact with the community will being them great success.
Maybe I am optimistic, but I believe this initiative can lead to positive change. #BLM
At 0:38 seconds: She’s got nice bright sneakers making her look smart and sharp.
@eddyvideostar NBC News: “Nike store was looted last week.”
They parade those cops around the hood so the criminals know who to shoot next. Just ABOLISH CPD already, and let Wakanda handle itself!!
@mhtinlaA good selection, nonetheless.
mhtinla shut up crybaby
nice. “Be the change” – God’s love and blessings!!!!!!
Are the gang bangers going to change too?
LAST CALL ask your inbred mother
Give me no hope and see what I do. that’s what poor communities need is hope. Let’s all pitch in and help them…
LOVE it:)
This is such a PERFECT IDEA & STRATEGY to bring both the Police Officials & Citizens together alike!… This should be implemented across the ENTIRE United States as a part of the new Police Reform Law!….
Why so she can tell the cops, this is where my family was killed by gang members!! This is where all the riots and looters burnt it down!!!! Democrat scums
Nothing will happen until you neutralize the gang bangers.
@Raspy Bob Its difficult to talk to someone or even get a healthy and supportive point across, when that person is as angry & negative as you!… You flipped the conversation at the end to a “Political Slam” and that is not a rabbit hole that I’m willing to go down with you!… It’s just not worth the extra effort at this point in time!…..
@LAST CALL, The gangs are way out of control and definitely need to be broken up, shut down and placed on constant watch!… Gaining the trust of the public is vital, especially the citizens located in those neighborhoods heavily effected by gang violence!… If the citizens trust & respect the officials in their city, people will confide in the officials to save their neighborhoods and protect their fellow citizens. If there is zero trust, zero respect, than NOTHING will ever change!…. It takes EVERYONE, on both sides to come together!… It will not not be easy, but it can be done!…. ✌🏼
Airick Anderson Never happen!! Go tell that to the brothas that wont let you drive through their hood! You talk a good game though!
Yea well who cares as long as Trump is at the wheel we all headed on a down hill collision coarse with nothing but a catastrophe ending🤷🏻♂️
Yay for Youth Led Tours, great idea.
OMG, this is SUCH a great idea! Great job, Chicago!!!!
wowhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
That’s great👍🏽
Great work 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺
Patrol with cop. No BLM + Antifa
Could be the very kids that get these cops out of a jam. Lack of community Policing is the dumbest thing known to man for a job where community can either prolong your life or the lack thereof can cost you your life. I’ve had jobs where I’ve seen people police themselves all because they respect me. I didn’t have to say a word because the community went into action when they saw me get disrespected by someone in the community. That’s the power of rapport and respect. How can Law Enforcement allow for police departments to allow people to uniform who don’t understand the power or rapport and respect, in that order? Police officers are afraid because they lack rapport and respect within the community and thus police from that guilty conscience. It’s systemic because there’s no check and balance, departments don’t care enough about officers outside of the propaganda and the officers are not smart enough to make this connection because they themselves are high off of the propaganda.
Awesome, but police should also hire and train people from these same communities. Keep the tax dollars locally. If these cops live in another city or community then their salary are being spent and taxed in another place not benefiting these communities
They’re going to get in trouble for growing food. The big ag companies don’t like stuff like this and they, along with other big industries, make the rules that the cops have to enforce.
Kudos to North Lawndale teens for stepping up to help make the difference we all want to see!
I am shocked the media showed something positive
More Nbc opinion of daily events. If there’s false information that’s okay they just make it up as they go. You’ll just have to figure out if anything they gave an opinion on is true? My opinion 90 percent is false or misleading.
Wow
You’re wonderful young men and women I applaud you thank you so much keep it up and actually I wish you could start a chapter in every state every city that is having issues so they can look upon you guys and know that you doing the right thing
THIS is a beautiful thing! I hope other communities follow suit!
This is outstanding kudos to those teens, looks like the upcoming generation is showing strong promise indeed. Look at the Likes though…only 352 included my own…when there is reporting of shootings in Chicago..within a few hours white and asian people and some from outside the U.S. cram this site and the Likes are in the thousands as they self-righteously demean, disparage, kick down, and comment just hateful disgusting things about black people, and their other favorite kicking dog Democrats or BLM and they do it with gleeful fervor. Yet here we have a report of positive action, young black people escorting white police officers through one of the worst neighborhoods and building bridges. Yet those same huge numbers of people that put such ferocious effort and joy into expressing their hate about Chicago…President included…are no where to be found.
thanks you.u.s
I’m sorry to say this but I don’t see why these officers should be charged with murder. I have been in the same situation as this poor man that lost his life and I’ve also had many other encounters with the police. I’ve seen how dirty they can be I’ve experienced it firsthand and believe that we definitely need reform but I cannot see anywhere in this video were these officers were acting out of line.
Great idea. Rookie cops get a tour that blacks are people
The government and the so called cops know that neighborhood’s should be policed by the people who look like themselves. Police brutality would decrease by 70 percent. Why don’t you see BLACK COPS policing WHITE neighborhoods? It’s ALL by DESIGN. Believe that the government KNOWS this!!!!!
Why is it that the so called president of the country is not responding to any of this??
This is the type of interaction and outreach that could heal this rift.
Nathaniel Julius, who was senselessly shot and killed by police after not answering officers questions. Nathaniel was a 16-year old young man with Down syndrome and was shot by police on Wednesday 26 August 2020 in Eldorado Park South Africa. What the police did not take into account was that Nathaniel did not answer because of his disability.
That’s POSITIVE
This should be mandatory training🙏🏿🙅🏿♂️🖤
That’s a great idea. It’s hard to shoot someone when you know who they are. I wish cops could do their job without the violence but nobody wants to talk about the elephant in the room and that’s too many guns and too many people ready and willing to use them. But as long as the NRA had it’s way the problem isn’t going to go away.
ACAB. DEFUND ALL KILLER POLICE.
A tour but not a clean up
Our Black Kids deserve so much more then what America has shelled out. How can people NOT see the overt disparity difference between Black & Brown communities & predominately White neighborhoods? I realize now people do, they just don’t care…
This is great mainly I think because many cops are very intimidated by certain neighborhoods and districts due to only hearing of its violent news side and other officer’s war stories which make them end up feeling like they have to be tough and imtimidating themselves meanwhile because of this training program they get to start their first days calmly knowing that there isnt this barrier between them and this invisible enemy. A lot of NYC cops unfortunately get their heads gassed up with that kind of narrative and begin their first days with something to prove in reality due to repressed fear and not coming off visibly scared or threatened. This video’s tactic of community introduction goes deeper than what most see it for. It goes far into the psychological aspect of violence created due to lack of communication.
Law& orders demand justice change es civil rights
Laws and orders demand justice. Safety non healthy social distance happy. Breathing security deposit and families. Mental medical insurance life’s insurance policy laws and order s true payments not paying out extra when not be that much at the being
I approve. And I don’t approve of much.
Housing cleanings. Safety officer job and regular store s
cooooool 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😷😷😷😷😷
Laws and order s demand justice worldwide all stores groceries store s shoppers center s.
Law and order no keep American safe and clean
It starts at the bottom not the top
You need to end the violence in the home not the streets you teach your children love not the hate and racism

That’s the secret to a better place, wake up trump send the hood money
This is what every city should be doing. Get the cops and the people in the neighborhoods to work together.
I think that cops should have to go back to walking the neighborhoods that they patrol and become familiar with the ppl of the neighborhood
This is freaking awesome!
The cops take out the criminals that terrorize their hood and they complain. No wonder why people like me think they’re stupid.
Okay I am pro Trump but this is a good Idea! But the activist should see what cop deal with also!
I love this 💡 idea
my neighborhood’s police department is wilshire division in los angeles. all the officers there are encouraged to not just put in time as members of law enforcement and go back to their own neighborhoods as soon as their shift is done, but to interact with the residents as fellow neighbors — in and out of uniform. we routinely see them at stores, restaurants & other public places.
when the bars & restaurants first opened back up in late june, i went to my local with a couple of my neighbors. the first person who bought us drinks after two and a half months of intense pandemic lockdown was officer chris from wilshire division. he came in with three other officers — all in uniform — came up to our table, smiled, bumped all our fists (pandemic handshake) and said, “i would do anything to have a whiskey with you guys right now.”
we all felt humbled by his gesture because we felt it should’ve been us buying drinks for the first responders/frontline workers of the covid-19 pandemic.
NBC is censoring free speech, NBC is the enemy of the people!
This is a great example for all BLM supporters and BLM leaders! Great job folks!
Bless these children! My goodness. Bless the Police as well
I vote for biden
Brilliant
Yes it is important that the neighborhood 🚔 get to know the community and occupants that live there engage with the community on a positive note
I bet trump supporters will find ways to deflect this.
This is truly Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✊🏽
Lightfoot is the problem. She’s allowing the violence in Chicago to plague the city. Trump offered help and her disdain for him is costing many lives, businesses, and tax dollars. But she’s sticking her hand out for federal funding. Shows that the people are worthless compared to her personal war with Trump.
Hopefully BLM or antifa won’t see this, or else they would be burning these neighborhoods too
