This Sunday in Philadelphia, men will be gathering at Temple University in response to a call from the city's police chief: he wants them out on the streets to stem Philly's rising tide of homicide. We ask one recruit why he's doing it. Then we talk with Chris Evans of Kansas City, whose shop, T-Shirt King, has become a place where young people memorialize their friends lost to violence.
