1:02:01
and he's done the research.
1:02:02
- The only way that you can tell
1:02:04
the two of them, is doing
measurements on the body parts.
1:02:07
- Quite frankly,
the black community has become
1:02:10
entertainment for the rest
of the community.
1:02:12
- Meaning what?
1:02:14
Arthur Busch
County Prosecutor - Flint, Michigan
1:02:15
- The entertainment being
that the crime of the day -
1:02:17
you know, "If it bleeds,
it leads" -
1:02:19
gets to be the front story and
then that becomes the perception
1:02:23
and the image of
an entire people.
1:02:27
Which couldn't be further
from the truth, in my opinion.
1:02:30
In fact, you'll find, I think,
1:02:33
most African-Americans are quite
adverse to gun possession.
1:02:38
In suburbia, I think,
1:02:40
there's some notion that there's
going to be an invading horde,
1:02:42
come from either the city
or from someplace unknown,
1:02:46
to savage their suburban
community.
1:02:49
To me, not only is it bizarre,
but it's totally, uh...
1:02:55
unfounded.
1:02:58
And these pistols,
curiously enough,
1:03:00
weren't being taken off kids
in the city of Flint,
1:03:03
but were being taken off of kids
out in the out-county area,
1:03:06
in the suburban communities.
And--
1:03:10
- I didn't think that's
what you were gonna say.
1:03:12
I thought you were gonna say
that it's all these black kids
1:03:15
in the inner-city schools
that had these guns.
1:03:17
- No, that's...
1:03:20
We've never really had many
problems with guns in the city.
1:03:25
Not to say that we haven't;
we've had some.
1:03:27
But that's never been
the biggest problem.
1:03:29
The biggest problem has been
the gun possession
1:03:32
by these adolescents
in suburbia.
1:03:35
- How'd you get a gun?
1:03:38
- I stole mine. I stole it
from a friend of mine.
1:03:41
His dad owns a bunch of guns.
1:03:43
- What we're you doing
with the stolen guns?
1:03:45
- We went down to Detroit
and started selling them.
1:03:47
'Cause I can get, like, a buck
fifty a pop for a 9-millimetre.
1:03:51
- Oh, really. Who were you trying
to sell them to?
1:03:54
- Anybody that would really want
'em. Gangs and stuff like that.
1:03:57
- Gangs in the city of Detroit?
- Yeah.
