Los Angeles has been very lively these days, with people and ghosts all coming out to enjoy the excitement, and various charity activities happening one after another. You won’t know it until you look at it, but you will be shocked at first glance. Good people are everywhere. Not to mention anything else, there are more than thirty charity performances in the entire city of Los Angeles every month, and there are some repeats every day. Basically all the celebrities who can be named in Hollywood have come out.
'Go Los Angeles' has become the most fashionable slogan.
Correspondingly, the Los Angeles Police Department was also happy and worried. What they were happy about was that they had a lot of money. I have to say that the performance of the Los Angeles Police Department this time was really perfect. Even stronger than the National Guard. The worry is...there really is no one left!
Indeed, the LAPD did a beautiful job this time. But the high casualties also led to a large-scale wave of resignations after the war... If it were China, such a heroic group would be the target of all kinds of outstanding young people. But this is the United States. They don't like to emphasize the collective, and prefer to emphasize the individual. For many police officers, the reason they become police officers is very simple: to support their families. This is just a job.
They didn't join the police force just to fight those monsters. The casualties this time caused many people to retreat, and many even participated in the war. Many of these people witnessed the cruel war with their own eyes and developed various psychological problems, so they chose to leave their posts.
This is not shameful in America. Not even the police department can prevent these officers from leaving their jobs. As a result, hundreds of police officers resigned from the Los Angeles Police Department in just a few days.
In the previous war, the casualties were basically front-line police officers, and most of those who have resigned are also front-line police officers. Now the already stretched manpower has become even more serious. In order to deal with this situation, the police department took two measures. One is to let the remaining police officers increase their work... This measure is very bad. It makes those police officers who originally did not want to leave their jobs no longer want to do it. The job of a police officer is originally There's a lot of work and unstable time, but now that I'm doing this, I can't even play anymore.
The second measure is to recruit a large number of new people.
According to U.S. police regulations, new recruits who join the police force need at least one year of police school training. However, considering the actual situation, the Los Angeles city government had to make concessions and shorten the training time of the police academy. The original one-year training was shortened to six months.
This makes many veteran police officers very dissatisfied.
Nothing else, because rookies are originally characters disliked by all departments in the police department, because these newcomers often don’t understand anything, even after a year of training. After all, the police profession is very special, and many things are different from those in school. Things are much different. When these newcomers come out, they need to be guided by veteran police officers for a while before they can feel at ease. Well now, the rookie has become even better! One year is shortened to six months...what the hell can I learn from this?
Newcomers tend to cause all sorts of problems, and veteran police officers are often the ones to clean up the mess. This will undoubtedly increase the workload of veteran police officers.
I was already very busy, and now I have to wipe the butts of those rookies, which no one wants to do.
As a result, many police officers began to oppose the policies of the city government and the police department, and it even reached the point where the union planned to hold demonstrations. (Of course the police have a guild, and it’s pretty awesome)
This is really annoying the upper echelons of the city government and police department!
And Kai was even more innocent. He didn't even know what was going on, but this kind of bad thing actually happened to him in the end.
It's none of his business!
He is from the Crime Unit, not the Fraternal Order of Police!
But there was nothing we could do. People from above and below found him, hoping that he would come out and speak.
Who calls him red?
The police use it as their spokesperson.
No way, Kai had to work hard to appease the low-level police officers, while at the same time giving advice to the big bosses above who were out of touch with the masses.
First of all, there is no alternative to increasing the workload. Failure to do so will lead to a decrease in the police department's ability to control Los Angeles.
So Kai has to convince the cops. Of course, it is absolutely useless to talk to them about dedication and self-sacrifice. Therefore, America’s most effective means must be used.
Talk about money!
Increased workload?
Then add money!
No down time?
Then add money!
No time to spend with your family?
Then... this money is useless. But I can give you a holiday! Any working hours exceeding a certain amount will be compensated with annual leave! And it’s salaried, double-salary!
Surprised or not?
As for the bosses above not wanting... not wanting you to go out on the streets to catch thieves yourself?
Isn't it just money?
When was Los Angeles ever poor? Plus a large donation, it’s affordable!
Of course, the basic salary will not increase, it will only be paid in the form of benefits. After all, if the basic salary is increased, it cannot be solved with a little money. In short, even if the people above are not happy with this proposal, they still have to agree. Besides, it is all public money, so why are they unwilling?
So it was such a happy decision. ,
Secondly, there is the issue of newcomers.
To be honest, this is very difficult. First of all, unlike China’s national conditions, China’s police recruitment is limited by funding issues. Many people are willing to join the police force. But it's different here in the United States. They have no love for the police profession.
After all, there is a big difference between the two. ,
China's police were established to protect the safety of people's lives and property. But the American police are not fundamentally designed to protect the broad masses of the people. They are protecting capitalists. Those who are interested can look at the history of American police, but I won’t go into it here.
In short, the social status of the two is very different.
To put it bluntly, the police are just thugs of capital. Have you ever seen in Hollywood movies that the police are either the minions of the bad guys, or they are just latecomers who can only clean up the ground?
Recruiting new police officers has always been a problem. (The quality of American police is generally not high, but the FBI is much better)
So in order to deal with this problem, the police department has also responded, which is to increase the basic salary of new police officers. American police officers are also based on seniority. This is still somewhat attractive to many young people. This is something Kai needs to worry about. ,
What he needs to consider is how to get the veteran police officers to accept these rookies among the rookies.
Kai has two ways to deal with this. First, in addition to recruiting new people from society, they can ask for help from the National Guard or even the US military. Go to the army to recruit people. Just like in China, there are many police officers who have been transferred from the army. These people have skills (guns, fighting, arrests) and are disciplined. In this regard, people from the army are better than those who are 18 or 19 years old in society. Young people are much stronger. The mind is more mature and easier to train.
Second, let more and better police officers enter the police academy and provide more professional and rigorous guidance to those police trainees. At the same time, the deadline cannot be one-size-fits-all. It cannot all be six months. Those who learn quickly and perform well can naturally graduate early. Those who perform poorly will have to wait until the semester is over or even be eliminated.
This is not entirely beneficial. At least it will temporarily leave many outstanding police officers from their posts, which will reduce the strength of the police department. But there is no way, in order to ensure the overall quality of the new police officers, there must be some choices.
…
Kai performed very well during this crisis. The upper management was reluctantly satisfied, but the lower ranks were satisfied. When the money is in place, nothing is difficult. What's more, Kai has privately formed a joint action team with elites from various police stations. Once there is a problem, the action team will immediately provide support.
For example, something happened in the South District before.
Remember Kai’s previous statement?
There was someone in the South District who went against the trend and committed a crime. It was a black gang, and they couldn't control the people under them and made zero-dollar purchases, which caused some riots. So the police from the South District cracked down, and just like Kai said, they took a heavy blow, and three gang members were shot dead!
Since they are all black, these guys plan to use racial discrimination to cause trouble with the police as before.
This led to a demonstration. Fortunately, after all, the National Guard did not withdraw, so overall order was maintained. Although there were some acts of vandalism, smashing, and looting, they were suppressed in time, and no large-scale mass incidents occurred.
But just after the demonstration, the special operations team suddenly attacked, and a group of heavily armed elite police officers rushed into the gang's stronghold.
A shootout occurs.
More than thirty gang members were killed and only six were arrested...
At this glance, it was clear that the police had no mercy at all!
Public opinion was about to explode in an instant, especially when one newspaper put the executioner directly on the headlines!
As a result, the next day, in front of the Southern District Police Station, the police demonstrated their success.
More than a hundred rifles of various types, more than 10,000 rounds of bullets of various colors, 300 kilograms of heroin, and 160 kilograms of cocaine. The identities of the people killed were also announced. Three of them were wanted persons, and other persons also had He has a rich criminal record, including nineteen people who were convicted of assaulting people with guns, six people who were involved in murder and robbery, and ten people who were involved in violent crimes committed by strong women. The only one who is considered clean also has a resume of ten years in prison.
In addition, a dozen girls were found from the stronghold. They were all infected with drug addiction and were forced to work as cash cows for these gang members. Most of them were defrauded from other countries.
Once this thing is put out, what can the media say?
Is it wrong for police to fight crime?
Moreover, the law enforcement video at the time was also leaked. It was the other party who opened fire first, and the police were forced to fight back. As for why only six were arrested and the others were shot to death. As a spokesman, Kai's attitude was: "I can't sacrifice the life of a police officer to capture those gangsters armed with automatic rifles. I don't know where the racial discrimination comes from. I only feel that the police have been discriminated against? We have sacrificed so many brothers before, but we have not been treated fairly! You pity the lives of the gangsters, but we injured six guys in that battle, one of whom is still in the intensive care unit, no one prays for them, no one goes Think about their efforts... Is this the reward this city gives to those who sacrifice their lives for it? I don’t ask you to love our police, but basic fair treatment is the minimum, right? And some media, I don’t know What kind of mood do you have in spreading rumors? Maybe you have no intention? You just want to gain popularity so that you can slander, slander or even insult the heroes of this city? We have protected your right to speak out, but this does not mean that you can use This power is coming to harm us! So we have contacted the best lawyers in Los Angeles to file a lawsuit against the following newspapers!"
After that, the names of those newspapers and media were announced.
The scene immediately exploded!
They think this is suppressing free speech! The media has the right to report freely.
"Freedom of speech? Those who say this should read more, otherwise people will look down on the quality of journalists. The premise of freedom of speech is that it does not involve slander or false accusations. Freedom of speech does not mean writing randomly without being based on facts! There is no right to publish freely. We have our own opinions, but we also have the right to hold ourselves accountable! As for suppressing freedom of speech? Hey, we are suing them in the name of private individuals, not in the name of the police department. This is not about suppressing any bullshit freedom. Or, let’s face it. As a result of the police, we have lost the power to protect our personal rights? If you say that, it is the greatest blasphemy against freedom and equality!"
In short, Kai retorted, leaving those at the scene speechless. When had they ever been reprimanded like this by the police? The policeman, whom they had always fought against, was in a state of ecstasy.
This is not over yet!
In the afternoon, more exciting news came out.
A leading law firm in Los Angeles received the commission and formed a large team of lawyers to sue several media organizations!
It was jointly commissioned by those police officers involved in the operation.
A Los Angeles court quickly accepted the case.
According to a spokesperson for the legal team, this will be the largest civil lawsuit in American history, by every definition!
The spokesperson also said that according to the preliminary estimate of the legal team, the amount of their claim will exceed US$600 million!
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was immediately shocked.
Those media outlets were not untrue and immediately denounced this as an act of *** and the darkest moment in the history of American culture!
Many media immediately followed up!
But the problem is that Kai was not false at all. His response was to immediately contact some of the largest law firms in the United States! Increase the size of the legal team! At the same time, the media that follow the trend will also be added to the prosecution list! The amount claimed this time directly exceeded one billion! This is just a preliminary estimate!
Not only that, many 'traitors' began to appear in the media! These media outlets began to quarrel with the media outlets that had previously criticized the police! And call them the real enemies of Disai, the modern ***! In short, you can always find different angles on one thing, and completely different results can be seen from another angle.
As for why so many people suddenly spoke out?
Again!
The media is just a toy of capital!
At least at this moment, Kai represents capital!
Kai indeed has little influence, but he is not alone behind him. At least at this point in time, the US government, the California government and the Los Angeles government do not want the image of the Los Angeles police to be smeared! After all, it is a political achievement and a fig leaf. If the image of the Los Angeles Police Department is ruined, is it still far away from them? Especially the California government and the Los Angeles government, and also the capitalists in Los Angeles. They are the group of people who most hope for a stable social order.
Do you really want those people to collectively buy for zero yuan? Can these people be good? You must know that the entire middle and upper classes in Los Angeles want reconstruction to begin, and they need the economy to recover!
This power is not small!
The media are not a monolith. They also stand for their own interest groups, and the interests of these interest groups are not always consistent. It is normal to have disputes.
Think about it, when the whole United States was scolding Trump, wasn't there still media that spoke out for Trump?
This is nothing.
Besides, is the media afraid of controversy?
They are afraid that there will be no argument. In short, the more fierce the argument, the happier they will be!
Once public opinion is not one-sided, then facts need to speak for themselves!
The police have laid out the evidence, but what about the media that targets the police? Do they have evidence?
There is a hair!
They don't even dare to fake it!
Forging evidence in front of the police? That is seeking death!
But that's not all. With the emergence of this lawsuit, the Los Angeles police are united again, and even police officers across the United States basically support the Los Angeles police. What will happen if the police are collectively hated?
The one who scolded the police the most harshly perfectly embodied the consequences.
Soon all the bad things that the name had done were revealed, such as cheating in high school, going through the back door in college, and being arrested for drug abuse, drunk driving, and wounding. What was even worse was that there were more gangsters. History has been uncovered, he once made racially charged remarks!
Now the public opinion has completely exploded. The thief is shouting to catch the thief?
In short, it is not easy for the police to blackmail someone. Not only that, the reporter was soon arrested.
Someone called the police and accused him of sexual assault! Or violent sexual assault!
The woman who called the police not only had pictures and the truth, she even had a video!
Although the reporter was still shouting that he was wrongly accused.
But the problem is that this thing requires evidence!
The evidence is that he did do this. It is useless for anyone to come. The chain of evidence issued by the police is perfect! Not a single problem!
