Knights in the big world of American TV series

Joe was very angry, but in fact he himself was used to it. With the development of the media, reporters became less and less disciplined. Iris and the others were pretty good, at least they were really investigating at their own risk, and

Some reporters just make a living by telling nonsense and "catch news".

"Catching news" that does whatever it takes to attract people's attention has become a unique media culture in the West.

There are often scenes like this in Hollywood movies: the protagonist tries every possible means to set a trap for the villain, tempting him to take the bait. Finally, when he succeeds, he is overjoyed, pumps his fist passionately, and cheers: "Gotcha!"

The so-called "Gotcha" is a common word in spoken English. The full name is "I have got you", which can be understood as "I caught you" or "I tricked you".

Nowadays, "Gotcha" is not only a cliché line for American actors, but also a common trick used by Western journalists, forming a unique media culture. The American press euphemistically calls it "catch news," which generally refers to the media's efforts to gain attention.

, setting up traps to induce or expose the subject of the report to "make mistakes" is also translated as "trap interview" by scholars. How to catch "catch news"?

"Gotcha news" first appeared in 1982 during the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina. The British "Sun" published a front-page news with a huge "Gotcha" as the title, excitedly cheering, "Our boys sank a gunboat.

, cripple

"Built a cruiser". This "good news from the battlefield" earned astonishing sales for the current issue of "The Sun", but also attracted widespread criticism. Many critics believed that such bellicose headlines were not only unobjective and fair, but also cold-blooded.

Ruthless and devoid of journalistic ethics.

However, what more Western reporters see is the huge sales of The Sun, and what they smell is the "wealth code": as long as they "take advantage" of various politically sensitive issues and make non-stop comments that are not surprising, they can attract eyeballs and win the battle.

Get out of the position. If you can "catch" big shots who are speechless for a moment, you can steal the limelight and get promotions and salary increases. Why not? "Catching people news" has been carried forward by the Western media, creating batch after batch of

Western journalists who are aggressive and sometimes rude.

The most classic routine of "catching news" is to forcibly interrupt the interviewee, or ask questions unrelated to the interview topic, catch the other party off guard, trick or even anger the other party, and make the interviewee embarrassed, gaffe, make mistakes, and make a fool of himself.

Every U.S. president has been "caught" by American reporters. Bush Sr. was once publicly questioned about whether he had taken cocaine. Bush Jr. was "tested" on the names of leaders of Chechnya, Pakistan, India and Taiwan. Obama is still running for election

When he was president, a reporter once asked him why he did not wear a flag pin during canvassing activities, implying that he was "unpatriotic."

There are countless examples.

This is why Joe hates reporters.

Another point is their smear campaign against the police!

To be honest, Joe also knows that not all police officers are good people, but there are also bad ones. This is impossible to avoid, after all, we are all human beings. But reporters always report the bad ones with purpose, but for those who are truly willing to give everything for this job

The police and reporters never pay attention to them.

The simplest one is Joe himself.

The reason why he has such a high reputation in the police station is not because he has stayed there for a long time.

That thing can't fool anyone at all.

Joe has always been a key member of their branch and has a very high crime detection rate. However, he has never received any praise from the media. All he has received is slander and ridicule.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing!" Barry had a headache and stopped the father and daughter from arguing again.

To be honest, this kind of plot happened almost every day, and he was helpless.

It is really difficult for Barry to deal with his favorite girl on one side and his adoptive father who is so kind to him on the other.

"Back to the topic! What should we do."

Barry said seriously.

He had to bring the topic back, otherwise it would go astray.

"Of course you go and catch them all, and then the police clean up the mess. Just like they did before."

Iris said without hesitation.

Joe immediately objected: "No! Don't always think about making a big news! You need to think about the victims! No matter how powerful Barry is, there is only one person, but as long as there is a little accident, those poor girls will be hurt!"

Joe is a policeman, and he knows how ruthless those traffickers are.

Albanian gangs, in particular, are notoriously ruthless.

He understands better than anyone else here what the Albanian gang is like. In fact, the confrontation between the Los Angeles police and the Albanian gang occurred much earlier than these reporters knew!

The fear of Albanian gangs is not a regional stereotype against Eastern Europe. This certification comes from an official report issued by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The report mentioned that Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Eastern Europe are the hardest hit areas for human trafficking in the world, such as

Eastern European countries such as Albania, Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova have become the main sources of human trafficking after drastic changes, and the dark forces that control all this are mainly Albanian gangs and Russian gangs.

Today, all studies on the origins of Eastern European gangs will mention the geopolitical disaster of the drastic changes in Eastern Europe. This disaster is not from the perspective of politicians, but from the perspective of ordinary people. These former Warsaw Pact state powers

Changes are often accompanied by economic collapse and political turmoil. The collapse of order is followed by the outbreak of ethnic conflicts. The Balkans where Albanians live was the bloodiest place in Europe in the 1990s. As the victor of the "Cold War"

At first, Western Europe was enjoying the

As a result of victory, Western European capital aggressively acquired high-quality assets in Eastern Europe at low prices. Highly educated and high-quality Eastern European talents began to enrich the labor market in Western Europe. Even the economically backward southern Italy could afford to hire young nurses and nannies from Eastern Europe. But things

There are often two sides to this. The drastic changes in Eastern Europe not only brought about the unemployment of a large number of high-quality people, but also the excess force of the former Warsaw Pact group. These weapons that were originally prepared for war lost their opponents overnight, and the country's finances were no longer possible.

Can afford to support so many retired professional soldiers.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These strong men have no other skills except military skills. They can only steal guns from the arsenal prepared to deal with NATO and join the gangs.

The target of their pursuit of life is the women of the same race they swore to protect.

After the "Iron Curtain" disappeared, Albanians' understanding of capitalism was like a three-year-old child steering a car on the highway. This small country was suddenly filled with financing companies, and the high interest rates offered became more and more outrageous. Almost all Albanians

Everyone is trapped in the dream of selling all their assets, handing the money to a financing company, and getting rich overnight. Naturally, this obvious Ponzi scheme exploded unexpectedly.

From the dream of getting rich overnight to the reality of bankruptcy overnight, Albania fell into nationwide riots, and the country's arsenal was affected by the riots. Albania was at odds with the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time during the "Cold War", and the entire country suffered from

He has severe persecution paranoia, so millions of firearms of various types are stored in the arsenal to prevent invasion.

However, this large number of guns flowed into the civilian population during the riots. At that time, the streets of Albania were filled with unemployed young people wandering around with AK assault rifles. Originally, Albania has long been a mountainous country with very few products and resources, and the poor and unemployed people

In this extreme environment, young people picked up guns and headed to Europe

Countries in Europe "preyed". At that time, various industries in the old capitalist countries in Western Europe had already developed to a very mature level, and the profitable industries were all controlled by locals. It was impossible to leave much space for outsiders. In this case, the Albanians

The focus is on a special industry: crime, whose main "products" are drugs and population.

Compared with drugs, which require production, transportation and other links, human trafficking is much simpler and more crude. All you need to do is kidnap the person. In the war-torn and turbulent Eastern Europe in the 1990s, there were everywhere young girls who longed to live in Western Europe. The Albanian gangs only needed to borrow money.

They want to work as waiters in big cities in Western Europe. Under the guise of models, they can trick girls into joining them.

Go, almost "zero cost". When the girls discovered that everything was wrong, it was too late, and they had been sent into deeper hell. This is an industry involving the darkest human nature, and they were sold to major cities in Western Europe.

In the red light district, personal freedom is controlled. Once you disobey the gang's arrangements, you will be beaten severely or even injected with drugs to control your mind.

In the process, the Albanian gang established a human trafficking network throughout Europe. Even in Albania itself, which has a population of less than three million, at least 1,400 girls are trafficked every year, many of whom are not even adults yet.

The efficiency of judicial agencies across Europe is low, and the crackdown on human trafficking has been unsatisfactory for so many years. In addition, the Albanian gangs have armed firepower that is not inferior to the police, which further fuels their arrogance.

Because these gangs composed of Albanians are more violent and unscrupulous than other gangs, they have even shot many times when facing the military and police of other countries, causing a large number of casualties, so they are called gangs.

If they find Barry, they will definitely threaten him with those hostages.

Even if it's useless in the end, they will kill those girls without hesitation... to escape justice.

Of course, this is the most extreme situation, and the most likely scenario is that Barry gives in... Really, this is very possible. Barry is the kind of 100% pure and good person who will even let himself get hurt for the sake of others.

This is certainly good, but Qiao always feels that this is a flaw.

But what can be done?

He taught this child very well.

This is also the reason why Joe finally asked Barry to go to the forensics department, which is a civilian position among civilians...a position that doesn't even require a gun.

Just because there is no need to face criminals, even if they do encounter them, they will still die... Well, Barry has a forensic qualification certificate, so he will do an autopsy. Of course, Barry does not have this qualification at the moment.

Los Angeles is a big city.

Forensic doctors are all powerful figures.

(Forensic medicine is difficult, and the forensic training process is very long and complicated. Becoming a forensic medicine requires rigorous training, usually including undergraduate and medical school, which can last up to 10 to 15 years. This long training process makes

Many people are deterred, making it difficult to expand the forensic team)

In short, Joe is very proud that he can raise a child like Barry, who is well-behaved and obedient, has good academic performance, and the key is kindness!

But this is not an advantage for the police... at least not being too kind.

As fate would have it, Barry actually became a superhero...

Barry was often injured because of his kindness, and almost died several times. If the Speed ​​Force hadn't given Barry his healing ability far beyond that of ordinary people, he would have died countless times.

(The Flash can accelerate the body's metabolism to speed up wound healing. Even if it withstands the water pressure of 2,000 feet under the sea and has its bones crushed, it can still heal as before within a few minutes)

"It's best to cooperate with the police. In this way, we can attack them in one fell swoop, and by the way, we can reduce the chance of harm to those poor girls."

Joe's suggestion is correct.

But he was despised by his own daughter.

"You are totally trying to put money on the police's face! They have been doing this kind of thing for several years, but you police have no information at all and let them do whatever they want. Now you want to go out and pick peaches! It's really disgusting!"

"Hey! Girl, I am your father! You are also the child of a police officer!"

"No! I am a reporter first, and the important thing is, I am also a journalist with a conscience. Secondly, I am your daughter! And then I am the daughter of the police!"

"Damn it! You're just a photo editor! Not a reporter... You've abandoned your dad now. Sure enough... I was right to adopt Barry! If it were you, I can't even imagine what my old age will be like

Look!"

"Don't be like this, Dad. I love you."

Iris relented and made Joe feel comfortable.

But then, Qiao felt that he might as well give birth to her as a piece of barbecued pork!

"I love your father, but I love the truth even more!" After finishing speaking, Iris said in a pretentious manner: "Aristotle's famous saying."

"Aristotle?" Joe looked at his daughter in surprise. He actually didn't know what kind of cookie Aristotle was, but the person who could say that Aristotle was a famous quote must be a big shot. What surprised him was that he

My daughter can actually say such a thing.

"What's your expression? I'm a reporter!" The meaning expressed in Joe's eyes was so obvious that Iris felt insulted. "Journalists are also cultural people!"

"But... dear, your high school grades are almost giving Mrs. Ross brain congestion. Until now, I see Mrs. Ross walking with her head down... I really don't dare to look at her eyes. Hell, every time I see her, she

The way you look at me is like looking at a mentally retarded person!"

"That's because you are indeed mentally retarded! She once told me that she was surprised that you could find a job as a police officer. If you hadn't done well later, she would have been ready to move to Mexico. After all, she couldn't

Imagine what a disaster it would be for the community if you became a police officer. She even thinks you shouldn't have children because she thinks things like IQ are hereditary and that will harm the next generation, which is me!"

Mrs. Rose, a respected teacher, is not only Iris' high school teacher, but also Joe's teacher. She has excellent professional skills and loves her job very much, but she can't control her mouth. She...

...she is a bit direct in her speech...but this does not affect her respect at all.

At least she treats all the children the same way, saying the most sinister words in her mouth, but she spares no effort to help everyone.
