Chapter 96: Condemnation from Public Opinion
If Baiden wants to prevent all of this from happening, he must find something that can allow the senior police officers who support him to block the arrival of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
So, there is a middle-level cadre from the Columbia Group, Adras Diaz, who is lurking in the South Side of Chicago.
In addition, Maurice Owens, one of the leaders of the GD street gang that has caused headaches for the top brass in recent years, means that Baiden has already prepared two gifts for the top brass.
He had even planned that once Hank learned about Ba Zhao's case and entered the public prosecution stage, he would immediately leak Ba Zhao's identity and background directly to several newspapers and media he was familiar with.
He had already thought up the news title for the reporter, and it was called 'The cause of the street riots in the South District: South Americans from the Colombian Group'. Next to it, it was paired with the scumbag Adras, who had committed more than a dozen crimes in the past few years.
A crime.
In order to be more attractive, Baiden is also planning to splice several street fights on the streets of Chicago in the past few years onto his opponent.
Anyway, due to special reasons, these cases have never been able to be concluded. If he comes forward to take over these cases, no one will object.
Because the top police officers above have been unwilling to admit that there are indeed many underground gang organizations in Chicago, and they have continued to grow and develop in the past few years, and these cases are just ordinary gang vendettas, without any
Other information can be found.
However, the pressure from the top is on the detectives responsible for the investigation, and the superiors are unwilling to lift the fig leaf, which will make them appear to be incompetent.
With pressure from high-level officials, the detectives responsible for handling the case will not be able to quickly close the case. They must find a decent motive to respond to media inquiries following the report, rather than a large-scale gang that has been repeatedly denied by the police department's high-level officials.
conflict.
However, in the past ten years, there have been countless gunfights between ethnic gangs such as GD and the Green Cobras in the South District.
The few cases that have been noticed by the media are just another bloody conflict that the police detectives are accustomed to, and the two are fighting for territory.
Do we need the police detectives to stand in front of the TV and analyze in detail the differences between the F.N and P.N camps and the past grievances and hatreds for the general public?
Don't be ridiculous. If any detective dared to explain this to the news media, the motive for these three cases that resulted in the death of nearly 20 people would be transferred from his post by his superiors the next day, and he would no longer be in charge of the homicide team.
, let’s go directly to Nan District Street to patrol the streets.
In the entire Chicago Police Department, no one knows that through special elections, Mayor Richard, who has just taken office, has made reducing the high crime rate in Chicago and reducing the number of criminals the main slogan of his new administration.
Since the current Mayor Richard took office, the crime rate in Chicago has indeed been reduced by 30 percentage points as he promised.
But this is because a death order has been issued in the police station, requiring all investigators to uniformly handle gang vendetta cases. Unless the suspect can be found, they can ignore the case without filing it, and they can actively ignore it without getting involved in the investigation.
In addition, for this kind of shooting, almost no street members will report the crime on their own and take the initiative to seek help from the COP?
This is very inconsistent with the unspoken gang rules and will be seen as a sign of weakness.
If the most common type of crime is removed, can the crime rate not be reduced quickly?
In the past, the crime rate was high because some cases could not be solved at all and it was impossible to find a definite suspect.
The police detective on duty is not Sherlock Holmes and possesses all kinds of special skills. How could he possibly know a few hours later, just by naked eye observation, that a certain shootout in a public housing building in the South District was because a nigger was among them?
Is the drug high too much, or is it the product of gang turf wars?
Since entering the 1980s, this gang of street members has learned to wash away blood stains directly on the ground after gunfights. They will also take the initiative to collect spent bullet casings and send them to the garbage recycling station in the corner of the South District, where they are merged with abandoned cars by cranes.
One body.
The scene of the gunfight was completely destroyed, and there are no cameras near the public housing area. Video surveillance can be called. Shootings that occur near the public housing area are basically unsolvable.
After Baiden finished complaining about the idiotic behavior of the top brass of the police station, he suddenly remembered the information previously revealed to him by Oliver, who was in charge of the homicide team of the 26th Precinct.
When the other party was drinking with him, he once speculated that Mayor Richard, who had just taken office, would probably take action against the security issues in the South District during his term of office.
Because during this period, Ms. Dorothy, Mayor Richard’s former public relations manager and now a member of the mayor’s advisory team, had frequent private contacts with the directors of various bureaus in the Southern District. There were vague rumors that the two parties were discussing
Ways to solve the security problem in the Southern District.
When Bailden heard this gossip for the first time, he even laughed at the other party with disdain.
He believed that Mayor Richard, who inherited his father's legacy and knew so much about the city of Chicago, could not know that the root cause of the security problems in the South Side was the numerous gangs, and these numerous gangs originated from those public housing estates.
Districts are emerging one after another, one after another.
As long as the public housing complex stands here, the problem of too many gang members cannot be effectively curbed. Even if the joint law enforcement forces arrest the most famous "O Street" gangster, Oded Reed, in jail?
Have the security problems in the Southern District been alleviated?
Except for the period of joint law enforcement, these underground scoundrels took the initiative to restrain their subordinates. When the joint law enforcement team settled, the chaos in the neighborhood has not returned to its original state, and is even worse than when Odd was alive!
Because above them, suddenly there is no big mountain that can hold down all the street members. The GD members who were originally working in unison have been fighting among themselves since Odd's death, and they have been falling apart one after another.
Coupled with the watching gangs such as the Latin Monarchs, trying to seize GD's original territory and contraband market, the chaos in the neighborhood is even greater than before.
As far as Baird is concerned, if he wants to solve these problems, he must first demolish all the public housing areas in the South District.
As long as this base that supplies manpower to gangs is not dismantled, the street forces will not be solved for a day, but how can this be done?
Mayor Michael Richard has just taken office. Even with the many political resources left to him by his father Burne Richard during his lifetime, he just took action against the public housing area in the South District that accommodates hundreds of thousands of citizens.
, but it will cause great commotion and public condemnation...
etc!
