Knights in the big world of American TV series

"Barry... the real world is not as scary as you think. I am a reporter and I know how to protect myself! Our magazine has a series of measures to deal with similar problems!"

Iris was a little dismissive of Barry's words. It's not that she really didn't know that the world was unsafe. It's just that, like most ordinary people, she didn't have much real sense of the so-called danger.

After all, many people never encounter so-called danger in their lives... After all, Iris was well protected by Joe. He has been growing up in the South District, which is known as 'Hell'. But Iris feels that it is all from the outside world.

Nonsense.

She grew up there, and that place is not as scary as the outside world says. These people were deceived by some unscrupulous media. There are just more immigrants there, and there may be some criminal activities, but it is definitely not as scary as the media describes.

Danger.

At least as far as Iris's overall feeling is concerned, Los Angeles is not as chaotic as the media writes. Indeed, it is full of people pursuing dreams and freedom... But this is Los Angeles!

City of Angels!

Whether in the spotlight or in real life, Los Angeles is undoubtedly the most dramatic international metropolis. Putting aside all stereotypes, creativity, sexiness and multilingualism are synonymous with the City of Angels. Los Angeles is known for its approachability

The image of Los Angeles has become the world city that everyone dreams of. In people’s collective impression, the image of Los Angeles is always inseparable from roads, hills, and brown trees.

Palm trees, Sunset Boulevard, Mulholland Drive...these wide western roads wind in the hearts of every Hollywood movie fan. Familiar soap operas such as "Beverly Over" and "Over the Sea" are the products of the 1990s.

Youthful memories. Mysterious, charming, rich and exquisite, Los Angeles is like a perpetual motion machine of images, constantly creating people's fantasies and memories about it.

With fantasy in mind, tourists set foot on this land of 18 million residents and put a big check mark on Hollywood Boulevard on their itinerary. Walk on the Avenue of Stars and count the superstars embedded in the stars. The company

With the names of the fictional characters, it’s only then that we discover Los Angeles’ tease of tourists.

The Los Angeles metropolitan area is located in the southwestern coastal area of ​​California. Its full name is the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area. It is the second largest metropolitan area in the United States. The Los Angeles metropolitan area includes Los Angeles County and Orange County, with a total of 122 cities. The total area is approximately

It covers an area of ​​12,600 square kilometers and has a total population of approximately 13.3104 million.

The Los Angeles metropolitan area has a developed economy. The entertainment industry, commerce, international trade, finance, petrochemical industry, aerospace industry and other fields in the region have a decisive influence on a global scale. The entertainment industry famous for Hollywood has won Los Angeles the title of "World Entertainment Capital".

"Capital" title. "Forbes" Miscellaneous

According to the magazine, 1 in every 6 residents of Los Angeles is engaged in entertainment and creative industries. In addition, the world's first Disneyland is located in Anaheim, a city in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. With the support of Hollywood, stars,

Athletes, entrepreneurs and many other celebrities have purchased homes in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

However, all this halo only applies to Los Angeles during the day, because once night falls, it turns into a sin city. After dusk falls, it is difficult to see anyone walking on the congested streets during the day.

, some streets can no longer even see the shadow of people, just like ghost towns. And in those more

In remote dark corners, criminal acts are taking place. In the center and south of Los Angeles, especially in the areas where blacks and poor people gather, violent crimes often occur. Even though there are many entertainment projects in Los Angeles at night, there are no

A person was still standing alone on the street after 10 o'clock in the night.

After the nightlife is completely over, people usually choose to drive away from the city. No one wants to stay on the street for one more minute. And if you choose to walk home without driving, then you will be in trouble.

Yu put himself in danger.

Due to historical reasons, Los Angeles has a large Mexican population. In recent years, Mexico's domestic economy has collapsed, gangs are everywhere, drug dealers are rampant, and a large number of illegal immigrants have entered the United States through various channels. Their first choice is Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, you will see a strong

Spanish Colors: Spanish Architectural Style and Western

Spanish lifestyle. You will hear a lot of people speaking Spanish and most of them are Mexicans. Mexicans are neither white nor black, most of the Mexican population are mixed descendants of Indians and Spanish, they are both Spanish

The laziness of Indians and the toughness of Indians. Most Mexicans did not accept it.

They have a good education, make a living by selling drugs, live in poverty, and their quality of life is worrying. A large number of Latinos, mainly Mexicans, live in the east of Los Angeles, and safety is a serious problem. There are also black slums in the south and east of Los Angeles, and many local police officers

Don’t dare to enter easily. The whole of Los Angeles at least

There are dozens of violent gangs who like to paint graffiti on the walls with the names of their gangs. Frequent violent conflicts make this a city of crime. Generally speaking, the east side of Los Angeles is dilapidated and gray, while the west side is dazzling.

Bustling, "Long Beach" on the south coast is one of the wealthiest areas in the United States.

Iris knows all this, but whether he knows it or not, whether he feels it is another matter.

For example, don't go out at night... Hehe... Before the eldest daughter of the West family became a reporter, she spent every night in nightclubs and bars, and it could be said that she had sex every night, but that's not a big deal!

However, what Iris didn't know was that she could live such a carefree life.

It's all because he has a good father.

Her father is Joe West.

Yes, West is indeed just a small police chief, with no power, no power, and no money, but Joe has been able to work in the Southern District for more than thirty years. Although he has not been promoted in these years, he has basically never encountered any trouble. Damn it.

What is?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Network!

He himself is indeed just a police chief, but many of his contemporaries, his descendants, and his seniors are already in high positions.

The main reason is that Joe himself is so good that everyone who knows him basically recognizes his ability and character, which makes him very popular in the Los Angeles police community!

Even the chief of Los Angeles knows Joe.

Of course, promotion is a different set of standards. Joe is a typical old-school police detective. Although he does things according to rules, he is too hard-core. His credit book is as thick as his complaint report! What about violent law enforcement and what about not following the rules?

, there are countless. According to the average police detective, the "criminal record" is so thick, let alone going out to handle cases, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot even get out! He has to drink coffee in the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day, and fight against various complaints.

But it happened that Qiao was just like a normal person who should handle the case.

Why?

Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also a policeman, and someone whom Joe knows!

Also, the senior police officers all know who Joe is and what his style of doing things is!

So we all protect him... Although leaders all like to be obedient, they all know who is capable and who is a bastard, as long as they are not 250. And Qiao is not that kind of thorny, he just has an old-school style, but he is still very flexible, so

The senior management is actually very accepting of Joe. After all, compared to the troubles he causes from time to time, Joe's ability to do things is indescribable!

The other thing is the gangster side.

Joe's style is old-school and his work style is very aboveboard.

Moreover, it sounds counter-intuitive to say that the police should be friends with criminals, and it somewhat smeares the image of the police.

But this kind of thing is inevitable. In fact, even a police officer will be familiar with the more aggressive gangsters in the area, because he needs to grasp the information on the "road" in time, and these things are not accessible to outsiders.

Although Qiao is a principled person, he is very humane in non-principled matters.

So the "road" buddies in Los Angeles still approve of Joe. For these gangsters, being caught by the police is simply a matter of course. They usually admit defeat in this kind of thing. Everyone plays within the rules of this game. You

If you lose, don't blame others. Just don't use any means outside the rules.

When soldiers catch thieves, everyone relies on their abilities. If you play dirty tricks, don't blame everyone for not obeying the rules!

Therefore, Joe's reputation in the underworld is really not low, and many underworld members are willing to give Joe a face.

Aren’t you just not going to harass the police’s families? Of course that’s fine!

In fact, although American police officers often sacrifice themselves, there have always been very few crimes against the police. This is because there are unspoken rules. Everyone does things within the rules. You are good and I am good. But once the rules are violated, the police will do whatever it takes.

Pay the price for revenge!

Especially gangsters are the most sensitive to this kind of thing.

They will not deal with the police casually. Do they really think that the United States is a so-called society ruled by law?

This thing is actually a standard false proposition!

The most typical example is: The United States is of course a country ruled by law. When the existing laws cannot control you, the United States can enact new laws.

During the Occupy Wall Street movement, the U.S. Congress quickly passed a new law, classifying this behavior as a felony, and the FBI called it domestic terrorism and suppressed it. American judges can both administer justice and legislate.

, isn’t this just the rule of man with public whipping?! For example, the American police have no obligation to protect individual citizens, and a 10-year-old girl who was raped and became pregnant had an abortion.

Illegal law is the law formed by the judge when judging the case. The wrongful conviction rate of the death penalty executed in the United States is 4.1%, and the wrongful conviction rate of small cases in the United States should be higher because of prosecution and plea bargaining. The United States allows miscarriage of justice to improve judicial efficiency. And the United States allows miscarriage of justice.

The rich and powerful can, through prosecution and plea bargaining, get major crimes punished with minor punishments, and the wealthy and powerful who have committed major crimes be sent to the safe. After major crimes are punished with minor punishments, the original felony charges will no longer be pursued.

For example: Two judges in the United States accepted bribes from private prison owners, and in order to take care of their business, they illegally sentenced 4,000 teenagers to prison for several years.

The reason why this case took six years to break out shows that first, this kind of judgment is not shocking to the world and Americans are used to it; second, it is not easy for ordinary people to defend their rights; and third, American judges have great discretion.

Although it seems that these things have nothing to do with the police.

But many things are connected!

Once the police want to actually deal with a person or a gang...a lot of these things can be very flexible.

lawyer?

Lawyers are one of them too!

Otherwise, do you think those barristers can really ignore the police?

In normal times, people may give you some face as a barrister, but once it comes to the real core, both lawyers and judges will give you face!

Therefore, those gang members knew to stay away from the young lady of the West family, and sometimes they even gave her some help.

This makes Iris have no real sense of the security in Los Angeles.

Public security in Los Angeles is very poor, but why has she never encountered it?

So she's really naive in some ways!

Both Joe and Barry were helpless with this understanding of Iris. They didn't want to break this innocence. After all, wasn't that what they had been working hard for all these years? If they broke it themselves, wouldn't this be a pure illness?

And both Joe and Barry are very confident in themselves and feel that they can maintain this innocence...

"You'd better be careful, and they might find out my identity through you. That's not good. There's also Joe. He's on the front line. Sometimes, it's better to keep a low profile." Barry said knowingly.

It doesn't make sense, so it's better to threaten.

Sure enough, after hearing that it would affect his younger brother and father, Iris reluctantly gave up on the material.

Soon Iris followed the pre-arranged script, found the best observation point, and started taking pictures. Of course she couldn't enter the interior... Even a war reporter couldn't go to the front line of the firefight!

only……

"It feels a little strange."

While taking pictures, Iris asked: "It feels like there is no one around. Has the auction started?"

I heard from informants that this auction was very lively, and many dignitaries and gangsters would come, but for a while, no one was seen.

"They may have other entrances. After all, these people are usually sanctimonious and unlikely to show up arrogantly." Barry thought it was normal.

But Iris still felt strange... It was not a conclusion based on the messages she saw, but an intuition. She always felt that there was a special atmosphere surging, but she was not sure what it was.

Anyway, it's weird.

"I really don't know how beautiful that woman is...she can actually cause such a big sensation...Are these people's hearts made of cement?"

Iris could only change the subject.

Barry didn't feel much at all. It wasn't that he was numb, but it was just saying this to a group of human traffickers... it was a bit redundant.

How can a person be good if he can sell his own kind as livestock?

"It would be great if I could interview those smugglers. Maybe I can do an interview that analyzes human nature!"

Iris started dreaming again.

With a high school diploma, you can even struggle to write an English paper. How can you write a so-called analysis of human nature?

What's going on?

Also, Iris, what you always hated the most was the so-called 'analyzing human nature'. You didn't even bother to watch similar movies. What made you suddenly become so... artistic? Or is it really true that you are a reporter?

Can you change a person?!
