North Hollywood, Los Angeles...
This is the worst area in terms of public safety in the entire Los Angeles, with a higher percentage of violent crimes than the Los Angeles City Center.
Jerry, a young black man with dreadlocks, was dropped off at his home by a police car at 10 o'clock in the morning.
Jerry's home was in a rundown apartment community that had been converted from an abandoned factory. The appearance of the police car in the neighborhood filled the pedestrians with a wary look.
Two police officers, under the unfriendly gaze of onlookers, escorted Jerry, who was still reeking of a putrid smell from his jeans, to the front door of his home.
As they knocked on the door, one police officer kept an alert eye on the end of the corridor...
There stood a skinny, shirtless black youngster with jeans hanging to his knees.
Jerry, who had experienced a terrifying incident the night before, was still not quite back to his senses.
