But the fact is that while the American police have the right to deprive people of their lives based on their own judgment, they have no obligation to protect the people when their lives are threatened.
Since 1981, the U.S. Supreme Court has passed a series of judgments and established a principle: the U.S. police do not have a direct responsibility to protect any citizen. [Note: Interested readers can search for the 1981 Warren v. Washington, D.C. case (arrenv. .gonzales, 545.748 (2005)), this paragraph is not included in the text count]
Of course, the media often sees TV reports putting pressure on the police, that's another matter.
This has little to do with grassroots police officers, but with the position under the high-level ass.
Aoki: "So, when your family comes to Los Angeles to play, I will definitely entertain them well, but please don't refuse my personal thanks."
Luke smiled bitterly: "Mr. Aoki, you will make it difficult for me in the police station."
Aoki pondered for a moment: "Then are you willing to come to our company as a security supervisor? I promise, the annual salary starts from 500,000."
Luke was speechless: So you have such an idea!
If you think about it, there is no injury, the hostages were not injured or died, and the 640 million bonds were snatched back in the end. The annual salary of 500,000 for this kind of person is really not high.
As long as you help Zhongfu Company solve a similar case once in your life, the company will make a lot of money.
Luke silently apologized to Robert in his heart, and said very sincerely: "Mr. Aoki, I like being a policeman very much. Maybe you don't know, my adoptive father is a policeman. I have watched him since I was a child, and I have decided that I will always be a policeman. I'm a policeman, so I can only apologize for your kindness."
Aoki sighed softly, knowing that such things involving personal ideas cannot be easily changed by money.
He could only say: "Well then, I have a private property in Los Angeles, and I will give it to you as a gift. Don't refuse, you just need to accept it and sign it. As long as you keep quiet, your colleagues won't know about it."
Luke: This shrewd old businessman really knows how to behave, so that we can keep in touch for a long time in the future.
In the end, the matter was settled like this, and Aoki casually chatted with Luke about the case.
Among them was the only hostage who died last night.
That person was also an executive of the company, but he had a brain twitch and wanted to negotiate terms with the robbers, and betrayed Gilero, hoping that the robbers would leave quickly and save his own life.
This brainless guy, still talking to Detective John on the walkie-talkie, proved to the robbers that he and John knew each other well.
In the end, he succeeded. Hans, who was calm on the surface but furious in his heart, confirmed that the information was correct, and shot the idiot with one shot.
Many people from Zhongfu Company saw this, and it was the man who took the initiative to tell the robbers the information, so he was taken away.
Therefore, the hostage's death had no effect on Luke and John.
The other 50-plus company employees who honestly packed quail did not even have a minor injury when they were rescued.
This further proves that the executive killed himself, so it's no wonder they didn't save him.
In addition, Aoki also mentioned that a construction engineer in their company died last month, which was also done by Hans and his group.
The robbers wanted to find out the structure of Zhongfu Building, so they targeted the engineer named Kiyoshi, tortured him cruelly in order to confirm the authenticity, and finally killed him.
Luke heard the name a little familiar, and finally remembered after hanging up the phone: Isn't this the first case he and Elsa came back to take? It was snatched from Selena.
Therefore, things are impermanent.
At the beginning, he and Elsa did not continue to pursue the case, so they couldn't make a mistake. There were too many such cases, and they couldn't be investigated at all.
But in the end this group of unlucky robbers still fell into his hands, but unfortunately Elsa didn't get the credit.
The partner called in the evening, with regret in his tone: "If I had known that I would be on vacation two days later this year, this kind of thing would still happen."
Luke hehe: "There is a chance, let's be together next time."
That is to say, he went to have fun with Ximena that day, how could he take Elsa there
Even in Los Angeles, Elsa can only drink some soup.
Even if she followed into the Zhongfu Building somehow, what would she do with forty or fifty gunmen? She's not like Detective John who has unlocked the plug-in of residual blood.
Elsa's real ability is still in investigating cases, not killing people.
Luke was in a relaxed mood, and smiled as he looked at his attribute panel.
Luke: (alias Luke Coulson)
strength 31
Agility 20
spirit 14
Remaining base points 1.
Yes, Luke got the quest reward after finishing Hans Gruber.
Mission: Destroy the Hans-Gruber gang and recapture the bonds.
The total task experience is 5000, and the points are 5000.
The task contribution rate is 75%, the experience gained is 3750, and the points are 3750.
When the experience reaches 7000, the level of the host character is raised to level 9.
Seeing that the strength attribute was one step closer to the 40-point mark, Luke was extremely satisfied.
Only two levels away, he will be able to get the life-saving hole card of primary self-healing, and he can also heal his left hand that cannot be fully recovered by the way.
After the experience upgrade, there are not many left, only more than 400 points, but the points have already exceeded 14,000.
The urge to endure before could no longer be tolerated. Luke clicked on the large list of abilities and learned how to drive elementary vehicles.
Then, among the bunch of people he had killed or defeated, he picked out a few relatively unorthodox abilities.
For example, Vanessa with electric eyes and long legs is proficient in basic languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese), and this ability only needs 100 points.
Luke learned it resolutely. He really didn't have time to learn any language. It was best to have a ready-made ability.
One hundred points, nothing more.
Also, in Hans' gang, there is a blasting expert, and Luke has also learned the basics of blasting, and the rest are not necessary.
Luke also knew that the points were only enough to spend temporarily.
Looking at the system, whether it is the superpower from the x gene or the superpower from the t virus, it usually starts with 1,000 points, and there are also 10,000 points.
The reason why the current points are still relatively generous is that he has not officially entered the big battlefield in New York.
Luke would never dare to take root there if he didn't master the basic self-healing skills, otherwise he would be crushed to death.
How fast is old man Aoki doing things
That afternoon, a lawyer came to the door and asked him to sign a few documents. The house belonged to Luke, and the rest of the formalities were handled by this lawyer, so he didn't need to worry about it.
The two of Selena couldn't bear it, and encouraged Luke to go to the property.
When they arrived at the ground, the two found that it was a single-family villa of nearly 200 square meters, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it also had a garage and a small swimming pool.
Holding the key they just got, Luke and the two went in and wandered around. He had a look of helplessness on his face: "This house, with the furniture and decoration inside, is probably more than one million dollars, right? This favor is Don't you have to be too harsh?"
Selena was full of excitement: "Haha, Luke, can we move here? I've already figured it out. When the weather gets hot, I'm going to swim in the pool in the backyard."
