Tupac speaks about the New Black Panther Party, this film, Bastards of the Party looks at the legacy or remains of the BPP, the youth --in this instance, in Los Angeles who knew something great or revolutionary happened, yet lack the guidance or leadership to know how to continue the principles of revolution. The director of the film is curious about the culture of violence in his community, the black community. What social situations gave rise to the two most notorious gangs, the Crips and the Bloods. Clps & Story: http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/bastardsoftheparty/index.html
Raised in the Athens Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, Cle "Bone" Sloan was four years old when his father died, and 12 when he became a member of the Bloods.

Police brutality
Analogy: The police force is a gang with authority.
Definition: Corrupted system.
Consequence: Police become afraid of the people they serve.
Violence
Analogy: Violence is a hug that hurts.
Definition: Hurt caused by one person to another.
Consequence: Trust is lost between people.
The movie Bastards of the Party discusses gang violence towards one another and how it all began. No one really knows how it all began but one theory relates back to president Hoover. He believed that the panthers were more dangerous than the communist party, so he devised a plan to plot the US organization and the Black Panthers against each other. The reason that the Panthers became so dominant in black society was because the police would brutalize people for no reason other than the fact that they were black. The Panthers gave the black society hope and helped by providing food and education. Hoover disliked this and hoped his plan would cause them to get rid of one another. To help further his plans along cops would publish cartoons with suggestive ideas towards each organization about the other. This would eventually lead to the violence between gangs and the black community.
Emmy, great responses. Note my comments.
The definition needs to be a complete sentence also, along with the consequence. For example, Violence is pain visited on one person to another; it can be physical, psychological or emotional.
When there is violence, trust is lost. (Consequence).
Police Brutality
Often across the nation one sees police brutality as evidence of a corrupt justice system.
Emmy, you have to mention the topic in each sentence, so:
Police brutality leads to distrust and fear on both sides: victim and perpetrator.
Themes:
Legacy-Name
Forgiveness-Regret
PTSD-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Thesis:

Sloan grew up with the gang and became a member at twelve, now thirteen years later he notices how many of his friends are getting killed or going to prison and questions it. So he decides to look for answers by interviewing elders or OG’s in the community who may be able to give there input on this topic. By the end of hios journey, he agrees with his friend Moster that says “Gang banging is a death style, not a lifestyle,” Lil Monster.
Sloans interest ion the history of LA’s black gangs began when he was still active in street life:
