Many KZbinrs go driving around in bad neighborhoods especially in winter when there's no one around and then make a video about how bad conditions are and how brave they are. Tyler, you are the ONLY one that has the balls to actually get out of your car and meet the people living there, interview them and get their perspective. You have my admiration for talking to the locals and not wholesale demonize them, like most others do. Well done. I just subscribed to your channel.

Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13)

This is such a dense opinion, people say this because cops will harass you for miniscule things but when someone's bleeding out on the side of the road they're no where to be found . BOTH THINGS CAN BE TRUE

[@racheeerach]

I live in St. Louis. When you call 911 about gunshots, if you are lucky enough to even get an answer, they will ask if someone is screaming. If nobody is, you won't see the police come by at all. I once had to call 911 because a woman was trying to break down my bedroom door to attack me after she pulled a knife on me. It took the police nearly an hour to arrive. But God forbid your tags are even slightly out of date. Then you'll see police. This city is messed up.

I’m a huge Cards fan from the western US. I’d never been to St. Louis before, I literally came out to visit with no car, riding the metro and staying on the Illinois side in a little town over there. All I wanted to do was see a couple games at Busch, see the arch, see the brewery and get some ribs. My grandparents came from St. Louis and Grandpa worked for decades at the brewery. I almost got jumped at the East St. Louis bus station, switching off the train and waiting for the bus. I’d happened to strike up a conversation with an older gentleman there, and I stood up so he could take a call. Group of people who had been eyeing me for 10 minutes all start walking over, and start yelling at me. Then like a light bulb, they seen I was wearing my Cards gear and immediately asked if we’d gotten the win that day and pretty much left me alone after that. I’d never been so damned relieved in my life. I can now say that being a Cards fan may have saved my life 😂

Coming from a STL native that’s now living in Orange County, CA: Compared to other big cities, in STL there’s a very clear, major divide between the “county” areas and “city” areas. That divide is financial and racial, and for generations various politicians have promised to “revitalize the city” only to spend the tax money on another Cardinals/Blues-adjacent private square for food/drink businesses. Hardly anything is done to support the inner-city school systems, after school care or activities etc. to help people like the boys in this video. It’s extremely sad, but if we are all being honest doesn’t this sound familiar for almost EVERY American inner-city neighborhood/ghetto/slum? Politicians campaign on bringing reform - they get elected - they see things can’t be fixed with only money - they give up and make excuses. Very sad!!

It really is a rough situation over there. My Uncle was a SLMPD officer for over 25 years, and my brother is a Buffalo Police Officer. A lot of people don’t realize is that its not the officers don’t care (at least not most of them) its that so many precincts don’t have the resources and the officers to to effectively combat this level of crime. In a lot of areas, gang members outnumber officers 3-1. It is heartbreaking seeing people who genuinely are trying to better their communities but don’t have the resources to do so.

[@mj-hu7nt]

if anyone really wanted to better their communities, it would start with education and mental health care. i’m so sorry your family members sound like “one of the good ones” but they work for a corrupt system. cops do not prevent crime, they show up after the crime is already done. cops cannot swear to protect their communities then turn a blind eye when shit gets tough.

St Louis overall isnt actually much more dangerous than most American cities, it definetly has those rough spots but the way the crime data is skewed is becuase of Missouris garbage ruling that annex St Louis county into the city of saint louis like most American cities. That concentrates the dangerous areas and skews statistics, funny enough many parts of it have been cleaned up lately and gentrifying, old neighorhoods that used to be dangerous are now sought after.

God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13)

I used to be a residential security alarm technician for the STL area. Everywhere from Maryland Heights to Granite City, IL. Most of the neighborhoods I'd service were pretty safe, for the half hour I'd be there in broad daylight. Towards the end of the day, you'd end up in like Jennings or Florissant when it started getting dark out and you'd immediately realize why the alarms were there. I love St. Louis, sincerely. It gets a bad rap for all the violence, but that's just what gets the most attention. Some of the best people I've met live in St. Louis, and I'd love to see some changes for the great people there.

Man, these kids dont realize that the way they act, the way they dress, sure its a form of expression but they also have to understand that it comes with certain consequences such as people seeing them as thugs and employers taking that into account. Yet they insult their own black people when they dress and act "white". It isnt "acting white", its presenting yourself like a responsible and trustworthy individual that is worthy of keeping a career. Rapping isnt the only thing they can do, they just need to learn how to present themselves.

@@DrejaAndi that's not the same thing at all. Murder is a crime against another. Robbery is, too. Drugs are debatable but have far reaching consequences. But gun ownership doesn't inherently victimize anyone like murder or robbery. That's a terrible straw man. Do you know why predators tend to not be attacked by other animals? Because they're dangerous. Cats have claws. Bees have stings. Those attributes protect them from predators. A pufferfish has spines because other fish will harm it if given the chance. It's the same thing out in the world. You never know what's in someone's pocket. But we have laws over them for a reason. Most guns used in crimes are illegal guns. Most legal guns will never even be aimed at a human being. All you're doing is saying "bring us back to the law of the jungle, where a big man can hurt weaker people with impunity", because you don't actually care about safety, you're so terrified of guns that you'll make everyone vulnerable out of panic. Do you know, generally what, ultimately, stops a violent criminal? Violence. Because violent criminals continue to be violent at a very high frequency until they are terminally stopped.

It’s good to see a glimpse into a life that most people don’t normally see. And I respect Tyler for not shying away from very dangerous situations. I think most of his videos are about trying to find the voices of people that few would approach. At that same time, he doesn’t interject many of his own opinions and allows the viewers to form their own opinion. I believe that’s true documentary. However, I do not think that rap music is the only way these young men can leave the “trenches”. I think that mindset only reinforces and motivates gang related behavior. It would be different if rap could be a useful outlet for them to express their pains, but for the most part it just sounds like their praising guns, money, gangs, and sex. I’ve lived in shady places, non like St. Louis, but I focused on my education and staying away from troubled kids. I know some might argue they don’t have an equal chance at a better life than some are born into. And I agree to that. But, no matter what you’re given in life, fair or unfair, you gotta make the choice of who you want to be. And how you get there. And I pray these young men find a better “how”. They are more then just a stereotype or a gang related statistic. Start a small business, do a trade, do good respectable grunt work and grind until you got the money to leave. Even if it means you’re leaving alone.
