Who or what is "the crown"?
In the movie Judas and the Black Messiah, when the Black Panthers are playing pool in a pub while giving a speech at the same time, another group of African Americans wearing green berets approach them and force them to leave with threats.
The beret-wearing African Americans state:
This place is under the protection of the crown.

Answer 2
After watching the movie a second time, I can confirm that the Crown or the Crowns is the name for a gang. Just like Black Panthers; the crowns are not related to the British royal family in any way.
