Chapter 2103 Happy New Year! Requesting Double Monthly Tickets!!!

Kai did not explain the matter of the Pantheon. After all, it was too troublesome to explain, and more secrets would be revealed if he was not careful. It was not that these secrets could not be revealed. After all, even if people knew them, it was no big deal. But in order to explain these secrets, more words would be needed, which was too troublesome. Kai did not want to explain so much. Anyway, he had to live his life anyway without knowing those secrets. It didn't matter whether he knew them or not.

So let’s just not talk about it.

"Aphrodite's coming to Earth was just an accident. There won't be too many such accidents." Kai said.

The others looked at each other and felt that Kai must be hiding something, but they were all decent people, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it. If it was really important, Kai would have told them. Now that Kai didn't say anything, they could only say that this thing had nothing to do with them.

"Will Aphrodite commit crimes again... in other places? You know, dozens of people died this time, and there's already a big uproar over it." Joe asked carefully.

Joe has always felt that it has become increasingly difficult to be a police officer in the new era. In the past, when I was a police officer, I only had to consider solving the case. Later, various equal rights movements emerged, and it became much more difficult for the police to handle cases. According to an analysis report by the Associated Press, the US police need to pay high compensation for errors every year. From 2003 to 2016, the police in Chicago alone paid $6.62 million in compensation.

Think about similar compensations from other police departments.

Many of them are because the local police made really outrageous mistakes... In this regard, the American police are definitely ahead of the world! American police have been killing ordinary people by mistake from time to time, and the reason behind this is the serious mutual distrust in American society. The public does not have high trust in the police, and the police often fall into panic caused by the "distrust crisis", especially the police on duty in crime-prone areas. Faced with the proliferation of guns, they often respond with excessive use of force. The mentality of American police who "draw their guns and shoot" and see snakes in the shadows has reached an incredible level.

For example, in a residential area in Farmington, New Mexico, the United States. A police car stopped in front of a house. The police knocked on the door of Dotson's house, but no one responded. After the police spoke to the headquarters, they were retreating, and the 52-year-old homeowner Dotson opened the door. Gunshots suddenly rang out, and Dotson died on the spot. However, he had nothing to do with the reason why the police were dispatched this time, and his death was too unjust. That day, the police received a report and went to deal with a domestic violence dispute. When they arrived at Dotson's door, it was already 11: pm. According to the police body camera, the police knocked on the door many times, but no one answered. After a long time, Dotson came to the door with a pistol. When he opened the screen door, an officer took a step back and suddenly fired. Dotson fell to the ground. Farmington police said that "at least one officer emptied the magazine" and shot Dotson on the spot. Dotson's wife also rushed in with a gun and exchanged fire with the police. When she found that the other party was a policeman, she put down the gun, obeyed the police's orders, and surrendered. She has not been arrested or charged with any crime, police said.

The absurd thing is that the resident who had a domestic violence dispute with the police was a neighbor across the street from the Dotson family. The house numbers of the two families differed only by the last digit. The police got the house number wrong, but this one digit cost a life.

Sometimes you have to admit that American police are really abstract in their abstraction.

But at the same time, blackmailing the police is also very popular.

Touching the police? This sounds absurd, nonsensical and dangerous, but it does exist in the United States and has spawned a group of unique subculture groups.

You can see these guys on YouTube, the world's largest video site. They usually call themselves "First Amendment auditors" and "citizen journalists", and the content of their videos is often similar, recording the whole process of their "touching" the police. Of course, their "touching" is not what we think, blackmailing the police by framing them (who dares to blackmail the police?) The so-called "touching" by the auditors refers to questioning the legitimacy of the police's law enforcement through various unreasonable means. Let's take an example to illustrate. For example, if you see the police searching a passerby's backpack, most people may just be curious. For the auditor, it's like the paparazzi encountering the gossip news of a big star, and they immediately raise their cameras and get close. The auditor first asked the passerby loudly, "Do you agree to his bag search?" Seeing that the passerby ignored him, the old man immediately turned around and stopped the police. As a public official, the police saw that someone was filming, so they naturally couldn't just walk away, and could only helplessly roll down the window to talk to him.

Seeing that the police accepted the challenge, the auditor immediately started to "touch and prod" the police. He started with verbal provocation: "Why did you search his bag? If he searched his bag, can I search your police car? I heard that you corrupt police like to use drugs to frame people. I suspect there are drugs in your car. Let me check it!"

Listen, this is not just a simple provocation, it is simply writing the word "looking for trouble" on the forehead. However, even in the face of such a level of provocation from the auditor, the police remained calm, saying that our law enforcement is recorded in full video, so how could they frame someone? Seeing the police so calm, the auditor became more excited and said that he would ask the police to stop the car on the side of the road and he would go up to search it. The incident ended with the police driving away. The auditor did not really want to search the police's car, and the police would not really let him search the car. The process of the conversation between the two parties was actually a game between the auditor and the police. Through this game, the auditor obtained new video materials and established his image of abiding by the law; and the police also successfully avoided a public relations crisis and saved his job.

Why do auditors, a group of people who specialize in "touching" police officers, appear? Why do American police officers often seem to be somewhat restrained when facing these auditors, and have no dignity as law enforcement officers? The answer to all this is actually hidden in the name of auditors - First Amendment auditors. The so-called First Amendment is the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. With the guarantee of this law, Americans can take photos and record videos in any public place - even at the scene of police enforcement, they do not need to identify themselves, and they have the right to remain silent when being questioned by the police. In 2011, American lawyer Simon Glick found that three police officers were arresting a man. Because he was worried that the police would use excessive violence in law enforcement, he used his mobile phone to take pictures of the police enforcement. This was originally Simon's just act, but it unexpectedly brought him disastrous consequences - the police confiscated his mobile phone and sued Simon for illegal wiretapping, disturbing public order, and assisting prisoners to escape from prison. After five months of long litigation, the U.S. court finally ruled that Sim won the case, and the Boston City Government compensated Simon a full $17, and at the same time confirmed in the form of law that citizens have the right to film police enforcement. Originally, Simon Glick's victory in the case was a good thing that marked the progress of American justice. But when some people saw an opportunity to profit from it, a good thing could turn into a bad thing.

Countless police enforcement videos shot by auditors. For a time, countless "scammers" who called themselves "First Amendment auditors" appeared all over the United States. They wandered around public places across the United States (after all, only filming in public places is not illegal), holding cameras and filming everywhere on the grounds of "upholding the law." If someone blocked them, hey! But it was just what they wanted. These people would argue with the people who blocked them on the grounds that they were "exercising civil rights" and make videos of these scenes and upload them to the Internet. These videos often have a lot of attention, bringing huge reputation and wealth to the auditors. According to surveys, on average, each auditor can earn more than $1 per month by making videos, and those auditors with many fans can even earn up to $15 per month. If the other party is so angry that he gets angry and takes action or calls the police, then he has been fooled by the other party. The auditor will take legal procedures to sue the other party, so that he can not only earn money from making videos, but also make a lot of money from the other party through lawsuits.

On November 2017, 11, an auditor named Clayton filmed police cars entering and leaving a substation. The original intention of the video he filmed was to record the police's reactions when being filmed. After refusing to show his ID, Clayton was detained and his cell phone and camera were confiscated, which was exactly what Clayton wanted. After being released, Clayton immediately filed a lawsuit against the police department. In the end, the court ruled that the police department should compensate Clayton $2 and produce an apology video. This is the disgusting part of the auditors' behavior: even if they stick to you like a dog-skin plaster, even if they will provoke you with all kinds of annoying words, their behavior is essentially legal. Because they are in a public place, if someone dares to stop him, he will use the words he has prepared long ago, such as "freedom of the press" and "civil rights". The main theme is compliance and legality. If I harass you, it is legal, and if you block me, you are breaking the law. But as more and more Americans eat the bowl of auditors, "involution" is inevitable among auditors. In order to create more eye-catching videos and gain more views and attention, the auditors' behavior has become more provocative. Simply filming the police's enforcement of the law is no longer enough for the auditors, and they have begun to try more daring behaviors: for example, they directly interrupt the police when they are enforcing the law, providing the subjects with experience in counter-interrogation; they run into the court trial scene to broadcast it online; and some even break into the police station and film the police's daily work.

This is still considered good. There are some rogue lawyers who love to find fault, especially in the years when political correctness was popular. As long as there is even a hint of racial discrimination, those lawyers will make a big deal out of it, and then use public opinion to sue the police station and bankrupt it!

This has also made American police a little afraid of public opinion in recent years.

This incident also made the police top brass very scared. After all, dozens of people were killed by having their throats slit... After all, Los Angeles is not Chicago. The public security in Los Angeles is generally good, especially since Los Angeles is a tourist city and they attach great importance to this aspect.

Nothing major happened.

The Ares incident and the Hulk incident together resulted in a total of only a few thousand deaths... This number of casualties seemed high at the time, but now it seems insignificant.

For example, the most typical case was the recent "Blood Cross Plague Incident" in Chicago, which caused tens of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of injuries.

Not to mention the previous incidents in Miami, as well as San Francisco and Hawaii.

Los Angeles is still blessed by God and there are not many major events.

Suddenly, dozens of people died in such a strange way. No wonder the upper echelons were a little scared. They didn’t care about these dozens of people, but they were afraid that more would happen next!

God knows if there will be any follow-up to this thing.

So this question is very important.

"I will send someone over... As for whether there will be any follow-up... I can't guarantee that." Aphrodite is not Kai's pet, and Kai cannot guess what she wants to do, so this really cannot be guaranteed. However, Kai brought the person here, and some things still need Kai to solve.

"But don't worry. Aphrodite is not a bloodthirsty deity, so there is no need to worry about her killing innocent people."

Aphrodite is a typical sophisticated egoist. She may not be very kind, but she is definitely not evil. She may do some evil things for the sake of profit, but she will never do evil for no reason. Kai is not worried that she will suddenly go crazy and kill innocent people.

But whether it will happen again, only God knows.

"But don't worry if there are any more troubles. I will send someone to inform the federal government and work with your local police to suppress the news. At least, don't let any fluctuations occur in the market."

This is the best effort Kai can make.

"Can't you come back now?"

Joe was a little unhappy. He would not change too much just because Kai was a superhero. He was very upset that Kai brought trouble like Aphrodite to Earth, and then he himself did not care... This was too irresponsible. In fact, he was also very unhappy that Kai brought such a dangerous person back to Earth.

"Sorry, Big Joe, I have more important things to do right now and can't go back for the time being." Kai had no choice but to deal with this. It was obvious that the matter of the God Butcher Gul was more important here.

"What is more important than dozens of lives..."

Qiao asked instinctively, but as he spoke, his voice became lower and lower... He guessed something. What could be more important than dozens of lives? Of course, more lives.

Nothing is trivial when Kai is involved!

This is a consensus among everyone.

Kai was involved in almost all major events. Which major event would not cause thousands of casualties?

"Tell me honestly, will this matter you are handling endanger Los Angeles?"
