• 00:00:00 Staff Sergeant William "Folk" Fulk was the target of the Hilltop Crips in 1989, after they noticed a video camera he had installed on his house. The gangsters threw rocks and shot at the camera, but Folk and a few of his friends walked across the street and confronted them. The Crips fled, and the police eventually arrived and arrested the gangsters. This incident showed the community policing efforts of Tacoma Police Chief Ray Faitland, who shifted officers away from the Hilltop Crips to a community policing pilot project. The neighbors on Ash Street, who had been protesting and calling the police for years, were dismayed when the project was discontinued due to budget constraints.
• 00:05:00 The Army Rangers smoked some Crips in 1989, and the gang members warned the staff sergeant not to take the camera out of his window. Folk then suggested the Rangers take defensive measures, including setting up stakeouts and waiting for the police to arrive. When they did, the Rangers opened fire, and the gang members ran away.
