But the fact is that while American police have the power to deprive people of their lives based on their own judgment at the first moment, they have no obligation to protect people when your life is threatened.
Since 1981, the U.S. Supreme Court has established a principle through a series of cases: American police do not have a direct responsibility to protect any citizen. Note: Interested readers can search for Warren v. District Columbia in 1981 (Warren v. District Columbia; 444 A.2d. 1, DC CT.AP. 1981) and Castle Rock v. Gonzales in 2005 (Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 US 748 (2005)). This paragraph is not included in the text.
Of course, we often see television reports in the media about putting pressure on the police, but that is another matter.
This has little to do with the grassroots police officers, but everything to do with the positions under the top management.
Aoki: "So, if your family comes to Los Angeles, I will definitely entertain them, but please don't refuse my personal thanks."
Luke smiled bitterly: "Mr. Aoki, you will make it very difficult for me to work in the police station."
Qing Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you willing to come to our company as the security director? I promise that the annual salary will start from 500,000 yuan."
Luke was speechless: So this is what you were planning!
Come to think of it, he fought fifty people at once and came out unscathed, no hostages were injured or killed, and in the end, 640 million in bonds were recovered. Paying such a man an annual salary of 500,000 is not too high.
If Zhongfu Company can solve a similar case once in a lifetime, the company will make a lot of money.
Luke silently apologized to Robert in his heart, and said very sincerely: "Mr. Aoki, I really like being a policeman. Maybe you don't know, my adoptive father is a policeman. I watched him since I was a child, and I decided to be a policeman in the future, so I can only apologize for your kindness."
Aoki sighed softly, knowing that things like this involving personal beliefs could not be easily changed by money.
All he could say was, "Well, I have a private property in Los Angeles, and I'll give it to you. Don't refuse, just accept it and sign it. As long as you don't make it public, your colleagues won't know."
Luke: This shrewd old businessman really knows how to behave. This way, we can keep in touch for a long time in the future.
In the end, the matter was settled, and Aoki even chatted with Luke about the case.
Among them was the only hostage who died last night.
That man was also a senior executive of the company, but he had a brain accident and wanted to negotiate with the robbers, betraying Gilero, hoping that the robbers would finish the job quickly and leave so that he could save his life.
This brain-dead guy was still talking to Detective John on the intercom, proving to the robbers that he and John were very familiar with each other.
Finally he succeeded. Although he appeared calm on the outside, Hans was furious inside. He confirmed that the information was correct and shot the idiot to death with one shot.
Many people in Zhongfu Company saw this incident. The man was taken away because he volunteered to tell the robbers information.
Therefore, the death of this hostage had no impact on Luke and John.
The other fifty or so company employees who had been obediently pretending to be quails were not even slightly injured when they were rescued.
This further proves that the executive brought his own death upon himself and he cannot blame others for not saving him.
In addition, Aoki also mentioned that a construction engineer in their company died last month, and it was also done by Hans and his group.
The robbers wanted to find out the structure of the Nakatomi Building, so they set their sights on the engineer named Kiyoshi. In order to confirm the authenticity, they brutally tortured him and finally killed him to silence him.
Luke thought the name sounded familiar, and only after he hung up did he remember: Wasn't this the first case he and Elsa took on after they came back? And they stole it from Selina.
So, nothing is impermanent.
It wasn't a mistake that he and Elsa didn't continue to investigate the case. There were too many cases like this and they couldn't investigate them all.
But in the end, this group of unlucky robbers fell into his hands, but unfortunately Elsa did not get any credit.
This partner called me in the evening, and his tone was full of regret: "If I had known I would have taken two days off this year, this would have happened again."
Luke chuckled: "If there's a chance, let's go together next time."
That is to say, he went to have sex with Ximena that day, so how could he bring Elsa with him
Even in Los Angeles, the most Elsa could have was some soup.
Even if she really followed him into the Zhongfu Building for no apparent reason, how could she fight against forty or fifty armed robbers? She was not like Detective John who had activated the low health lock-in cheat.
Elsa's real ability lies in investigating cases, not killing people.
Luke was in a relaxed mood and just laughed while looking at his attribute panel.
Luke: (Also known as Luke Coulson)
Strength 31
Agility 20
Spirit 14
The remaining basic points are 1.
Yes, Luke received the mission reward after he dealt with Hans Gruber.
Mission: Destroy Hans-Gruber's gang and take back the bonds.
Total mission experience: 5000, points: 5000.
The mission contribution rate is 75%, and you will get 3750 experience points and 3750 points.
When the experience reaches 7000, the host character level is upgraded to level 9.
Seeing that his strength attribute was one step closer to the 40-point mark, Luke felt extremely satisfied.
Only two levels away, he would be able to obtain the life-saving trump card of primary self-healing, and at the same time, he would be able to cure his left hand which could not be fully recovered.
There wasn't much experience left after the upgrade, only about 400 points, but the points had exceeded 14,000.
Unable to hold back the impulse he had previously suppressed, Luke clicked on the large list of abilities and learned basic vehicle driving.
Then, he picked out a few with more unusual abilities from among the people he had killed or defeated.
For example, Vanessa, who has charming eyes and long legs, is proficient in basic languages (English, Spanish, and Portuguese), and this ability only requires 100 points.
Luke learned it without hesitation. He really didn't have the time to learn any language, so it would be best to have a ready-made skill.
One hundred points, just rubbish.
There is also a blasting expert in Hans' gang, and Luke has also learned the basic blasting skills. The rest are not necessary.
Luke also knew that the points were only enough to spend temporarily.
Look at the system. Whether it is the superpowers from the x-gene or the superpowers from the t-virus, the starting point is one thousand points, and there are also ten thousand points.
The reason why he has enough points now is that he has not officially entered the big battlefield in New York yet.
Without mastering the primary self-healing skill, Luke would never dare to take root there, or he might be crushed to death by someone.
How fast is old man Aoki in doing things
That afternoon, a lawyer came to his house and asked him to sign a few documents. The house belonged to Luke, and the remaining procedures would be handled by the lawyer, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Selina and the other girl couldn't help but encourage Luke to go to that property.
When they arrived at the site, they found that it was a single-family villa of nearly 200 square meters, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, a garage and a small swimming pool.
Holding the newly acquired key, Luke and the other man walked around in the house. He looked helpless and said, "This house, including the furniture and decoration, must be worth more than one million dollars, right? Isn't this favor a bit too much?"
Selina's face was full of excitement: "Haha, Luke, can we move in here? I've already thought about it. When the weather gets warmer, I'm going to swim in the pool in the backyard."
