So insightful and hands up to Dave and Guy. Feelings of discrimination stay in our memories forever.
Forever? Get over it everyone is discriminated against one way or the other, I'm discriminated against by anti colonial maori racism
I could honestly sit and hear Dave talk about his life stories all day, and how he’s overcome it all he’s soo encouraging and inspiring i remmber the frst time I heard him talk and I was so in my feels thinking about life I ws n tears me had goosebumps . He’s the man ✊🏾to go through t all and wanting to help others do better too , ur such a blessing Dave🙏
Thanks for having me team 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey, you are a good man. you seem to have alot on your shoulders the real battle is in our mind and sometimes wanting out is a constant real thing. it reminds us pushedtus to do better good to have someone talking from the same point of view. Life's hard and sometimes we all need support and showed the true realty not sugar coated.
Wonderful message. I have a question if you dont mind. As a psychology student, with a vision of creating evidenced based programs to educate and walk with those in communities that desire to be role models for others, what's the best way for me to get involved in communities and understand the real landscape of these root issues you mentioned?
Nice uso. I do wish we heard more from the likes of yourself and Mike King in the lead up to the election. Felt like there was a void of silence from 2 of the nations well-known leaders in mental health and community wellbeing. Felt like you guys were more right wing fans which felt weird
Thanks for standing up for the people and being a voice Dave. We appreciate you Uso!! ❤💯💪🫡
I totally support everything you are saying. You don't know if you don't know. Leave it to the ones that do. Great koorero Dave....
“We think they don’t see anything, but they see it all” - so powerful and so true 💯💯💯
This man is a great advocate 4 tamariki all around the country you can't put every kid in the same barrel of fish teenagers need more things to get involved in so they feel apart of society. The Young ones need role models young leaders people to look up to and follow in their footsteps. Why myself once was a lost teenager
Kia ora Brownbuttabean after listening to your experience beginning back in childhood. Confrontation harassment from police. I experienced harassment today which started off as a speeding fine. After returning home I felt lousey all day. Now listening to you I don't fell so bad Kia ora ra e Dave Letele.
Awesome korero 👍
well said - community-led NOT the state agency BS
You Dont look to a government to solve social problems. Your Mahi in the community now speaks volumes, keep it up bro & they will come to you.
An interesting account of when his hate for police begun.
It's frustrating that Dave still holds the view that the responsibility for the harm inflicted to himself and his siblings lies with nz police.
The entire responsibility lays with his Dad for having committed a crime.
The Dad brought those consequences upon his family.
The infliction of harm from crime reaches far beyond the initial victims.
Those who commit crime also make their family and loved ones victims.
That burden must solely lay with the perpetrator/s.
NZ Police do their level best to consider the young ones and minimize the harm (from crime) inflicted on them.
Dave .Well done for your Mahi to get this country Back on Track.This government has no idea of the real issues affecting the people in todays world. Thank you.
kōrero e te tūngane!
Imprisonment isn't going to solve anything? how about some justice for the victims whose families or livelihoods have been impacted by crime?
Prison is a poor form of justice though. There's no reparation, just isolation.
@@paultv8693 I notice you do what every justice reformist does ie: ignore what happened to the victim. A person going about their business gets killed/ atacked and you molly-coddle the criminal.
Brother, that is powerful. There were times the passion/ frustration was climbing but to you champions mentality you controlled it well... Now you start talking in a way that Can't be challenge by any bureaucrat, but sadly they make the decisions.
Justice, Corrections, Health, and Al of the social Services throw huge somes of money in a race to get to the bottom of the hill!
But sadly we know that will neither fix nor change why this is happening.
I salute my friend, and your army grows RT
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dave you’ve been a friend and leader to me for years, don’t see you much these days bro but you still inspire me every day brother.
He should be an actor, the other fulla not gonna have a job in another year rnz got funding cut on the way
As a kid you would know why if your parents told you why. The parents let him think the police "stole" them from him.
Prise the lord for BBB 🙏
"I hate the BBM, with everything I have."
Oh ok loser😂
High ranking....lol thats half the problem right there.
We are all the same no rank and file in NZ.
I like the idea as long as its done our way 😂 weve done it your way for 6 years and have more crime than ever, personal responsibility rather than race based victimhood might be worth a shot eventually
This is an idiots way of thinking about how to turn around long term and generational trauma
@@matthewviliamu2679 you assume everyone is an idiot who can't help themselves
Nope Not sure where you hot your statistics from
@@mobbarley7517 I’m not one to sit back and watch a bunch of people fall off a cliff just cos one or two survive the fall. We’re all connected and impacted by others. So whilst personal responsibility is part of the puzzle it isn’t the silver bullet nor the most important piece. I can be personally responsible for how I drive my car but am very much impacted by another person who may have chosen to drink and drive and then drives into me.
Now apply that logic to how our community and you’ll start to figure it out
He’s lucky he got visits those ones today in Auckland maxi locked up 200 days Straight only an hour every two days it’s illegal
Would like to see David work with these men
Thank Kelvin Davis
I genuinely empathise to his life story. From hearing about all the different areas of his life I wonder if this man is up to this immense challenge. I would hate to see these young and vulnerable people.
Good on you Dave. He rangatira tāu mahi.
Gangs will go underground. He's right. Perth and others parts of Australia. Won't tell you🤦♂️
Mean korero brother Dave
He hit the nail on the head with Oranga Tamariki they can barely keep up, simply because they don’t have the resources
I call total BS on the whole notion that the youth have nobody else to look up to other than the drug dealers or gangs, as young a fulla I knew who Jonah lomu was or David Tua and I knew damm well how wealthy these two pasfika boys had become from choosing the path of sports, now I could've chose to go down the same paths or become a doctor,lawer etc, Nah I wanted to be like O.dogg from Menace 2 Society, why?? coz it was cooler to be a gangster, get power, respect in the streets, I had many interventions with youth mentors but all of it went in one ear out the other. I whole heartedly feel rap music and gangster movies played a huge roll in shaping the path of my generation(90's) Sad part about it is I actualy came from a good home,church etc. The allure for the street life is somtheing of a phenomena, I met a palagi girl when i was a street kid and she told me she came from a very good home, well off, no abuse all that yadayada, she just wanted to experience being in the ruff, kinda crazy now that I'm older and I thing about it all.
I think with every situation, it's different, and with each individual, we all make individual choices. Like you said, some people grew up looking up to role models like Lomu and Tua yet still ended up chasing the life of O.dogg and Tupac lol And yet alot of those people come from families who live righteously - regular church goers, stable households etc. So I think it starts with self-reflection and self development, if you're going to do good in society one must be contempt within themselves to be confident enough to believe that they are good enough to be the best they can be in what ever it is they're destined to be. If you're not happy within yourself mentally this potentially leads to self harm and eventually leads to harming others. That's why it's important to focus on yourself, strengthen who you are as an individal before delving into anything else. And using tools like sport, are an effective way to build self confidence in individuals leading them to live a much more quality life physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and socially. I love that Dave is advocating for this and love the work he is doing out in South Auckland and other communities, helping individuals unlock their true potential and creating better human beings. Not only does this help prevent non communicable diseases and the health industry, but it also could be a viable approach to reducing crime in vulnerable communities.
@@kOt985totally agree
😂
Couple of posers. Posing as people who care, flogging the soundbite regardless for coin regardless of accuracy. Meh.
Exactly. I waved and said hello to David "Wannabe" Latele a few days ago in downtown Auckland, he just looked at me and I waved and said hello again, and he didn't even react he just carried on walking the PUNK
Triple sentencing with no discount for any gang related crimes…
Daves a champ. Doesnt put himself above no one but puts his hand up for everyone. Goes through his struggles like all of us and still climbs while trying to pull everyone up with him. ❤🫡
