It is a shame Charles Barron did not speak up, more. If a man is deathly afraid and spooked about a character, speak to that man, in jeopardy, on the side. What is so difficult about taking that man to the side and say, ... "how well do you know him? I am deathly afraid for us, both. Something about his eyes and demeanor got me spooked, please, please, please, just for today, do us, both, a favor ... do not ever turn your back on this guy!" Those simple words would have made a huge impact to increase James Davis's prospects of being here, today. Too much is at stake to rely on ...he saw the expression on my face. In tough scenarios like those, it is utmost important that one must step up to proceed to make certain that you have the Councilman's undivided attention.
I remember working EMS in the Mount Sinai area that day. There was so much confusion, initially there was a message sent to us that the bridges were closed because there was a shooting In City Hall. My God.But, blessings to the councilman and loved ones.
Handsome man......he was assassinated for political reasons. James was doing too much good for the poor and disadvantaged and the Jewish community didn't like that.
MR. DAVIS was every where, he was one of those politicians where he was always accessible to the community. I met him in crown heights while working for CCM a non-profit with THE educational director Marie. He was invited to join our community meeting called PYCE. At the time, Premature Death was running through crown heights and a lot of good people died young that was really helping to improve the black side of the crown heights community. I myself was targeted and killed spiritually, mentally, and I'm barely hanging in physically. MY CAREER, MY HEALTH, MY SOUL, AND MY DREAMs all suffered a premature death. Here is to all the young soldiers that were in trenches of crown heights, fighting for better. NO MEN or WOMEN are perfect, but every warrior has slain evil to keep the good alive in black communities, and many were sacrificed to keep the evil alive in black communities. RIP MR. DAVIS!!!!!
There definitely needs to be more of these. I would suggest one about the time from the mid 60's through the 70's when the Bronx, and parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, burned constantly.
Unfortunately James Davis was killed by a deranged blackman.We understand the climate of Crown Heights and how great James Davis was and still is I had the pleasure of going to Tilden HS. With him where he was a star athlete and student a true Champion he is truly missed.
I always wondered what this was all about as well as the brother that was blown up in a private jet Ron Brown secretary of state. And my hunch says Eric Adams wants this information released now because he fears a similar fate. Especially after Eric realized that subway shooting in BK was staged using Frank James. A known critical events actor who just left Moon Township, PA, a town that's known for staged crisis events. All I know is that these foreign tethers that the dominant society uses as buffers against Foundational Black Americans are immediately a greater threat to us right now, especially with all these staged events in the last couple of years. Eric Adams God's Speed!
This was before gays had any protective legislation and very few civil rights. Gays had long been discriminated against and ostracized from many areas of mainstream success.
It’s terrible to watch the African American communities suffer hopefully god gives them real leaders not gang leaders and not false victimhood.. they deserve better from within and I pray they get it
Live yourself. May your legends live on and the meaning if Lice yourselves shine like a the gold around Jesus Halo and the whole world be an example of the sacrifice u lived for every single day of our lives.
He got wacked by death row or again the 5 family's at that time backing politicians in which shared power with the NYPD who shares power with mother Mafia may be resi in paradise I loved his motto worked with Krs tha teacha as well

I'm just coming to see these series. They are excellently done!
Davis brought his killer in the hall, he brought him around the security, and it cost him his life.
Do explain your view please
@@kemet432 simply reporting how it transpired.

“Brooklyn politics is a prison yard and words are shanks” says our wonderful mayor, Eric Adam’s.

I remember this, I was 17 years old.
There definitely needs to be more of these. I would suggest one about the time from the mid 60's through the 70's when the Bronx, and parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, burned constantly.
One love to my brotha and my friend.
I remember this day it was my birthday I just turn 14 years old. Rip James Davis
This is heartbreaking and inspirational.
He was a good man. Had the pleasure of working with him for a bit in the 69 PCT. Probably could’ve became President he was that good. RIP James.
Unfortunately James Davis was killed by a deranged blackman.We understand the climate of Crown Heights and how great James Davis was and still is I had the pleasure of going to Tilden HS. With him where he was a star athlete and student a true Champion he is truly missed.
They'll have one of us kill one of us. just to say, it was one of us..... Malcolm X..💯
I wish they would quit calling them hallowed corridors. They are full of crooks
Man this brought tears to my eyes
my 33 years I have never heard of this man or even anything about Brooklyn like that WTF.. smells like a government
If he got shot on the inside ,how did his blood get on the outside as rev.sharpton says?
Wow I found him through a lil Kim interview damn this is crazy. Poor guy all the good ones die young.

Brother sound like Malcolm X
I enjoyed all 4 episodes. I think they should make documentaries of Yusef Hawkins, Larry Davis & The Son of Sam: Summer of 1977.
And VIOLENCE AND SHOOTING ARE WORSE THAN EVER
Glad I moved out of NYC because of these Demented Democrats
Sounds like a set up to me
when a homosexual love affair goes wrong...its not that deep
Youre a sick individual.
THAT' S what that was all about? Whewww..,
I knew James and worked with Him...
I remember this he sponsored our tournament called “love your self” after this gangs took over
I remember him driving his Jeep Wrangler around Crown Heights.
remember this like it was yesterday. tragic still.
/bklyn 👑
Black man killed Black councillor wow
"Out" him as gay? That would have him win nowadays and killed Davis career. Now ya really think on that 🤔
