Chapter 268: Chicago 21st Precinct (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote)

Kai soon joined Booth and others in Chicago. They are now in the 21st Precinct of the Chicago Police Department. →This branch is the frontline of Chicago's fight against gangs, and it is also the branch with the most outstanding achievements in combating gangs. The reason why it was chosen here was also the idea of ​​the bureaucrats above. They wanted to use this to show the gangs that they were fighting against the GD gang. determination.

But Booth and El Paso felt that the above group of people grew up eating shit and they should be assigned to the Chicago Police Department.

Chicago is located in Cook County in the northeastern part of Illinois, on the west shore of Lake Michigan. It has a gentle terrain and is one of the tallest and densest cities in the world. It is also one of the world's famous international financial centers. It is the largest commercial center and one of the largest futures markets in the United States. The number of new enterprises in its metropolitan area has always ranked first in the United States, and it has been rated as the most balanced economy in the United States.

In the United States, the amount of public resources such as the police generally depends on the local economic situation. If the economic situation is good, then there will be more taxes. If there are more taxes, more people can be hired. Take the Chicago Police Department, for example. It is the most important law enforcement agency in Chicago, Illinois, and is under the jurisdiction of the mayor of Chicago. It is the largest police department in the Midwestern region of the United States and the third largest police department in the country, except for the NYPD (New York Police Department) and LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department). The department has more than 13,400 regular police officers and more than 1,800 other employees. The Chicago Police Department, established in 1837, is one of the earliest modern police departments in the world.

In Chicago, those closer to the city center and the Northeast are safer because they pay more taxes and have stronger infrastructure and police numbers than other areas. The South City of Chicago (generally refers to the area south of 60th Street) is much worse. There are very few police and infrastructure there. Most of the neighborhoods there are already controlled by black people. The area south of Damen Street in the west of the city is also the same. Dangerous area.

The taxes there are basically zero for Chicago, so naturally, no one will pay attention there. So despite the fact that the Chicago Police Department has many employees, in fact, on average, every 1,000 people on the South Side of Chicago enjoy the services of less than one police officer.

The jurisdiction of the 21st Precinct is in the Southern District...

This basically puts Hamilton under the nose of the GD gang!

If the FBI, DEA, and CPD (Chicago Police Department) hadn't gathered a large number of police officers and detectives here, they would have turned their backs long ago. But even so, Booth and El Paso were extremely nervous. This tension is not groundless.

As soon as they brought Hamilton to the 21st Precinct, commotion began in the entire South City area. From time to time, gunshots rang out in various neighborhoods. The local police could only run around to deal with the commotion everywhere. This led to Kai Lai's arrival. By the time we arrived at the 21st Precinct, the entire police station was already packed with people!

There are suspects being arrested everywhere, and the Chicago DA's office (District Attorney's Office) is already busy. It is estimated that they will prosecute many people in the recent period. In fact, the DA has officially issued a warning to the Chicago police. If the situation continues like this, the prosecutor's office will completely collapse. You know, just the cases on their hands, Just enough to keep them busy until next year!

Therefore, the Chicago police have received hints that they will give up all those small and unimportant cases. The most they can do is to throw the person involved into the police detention room and hold him for a period of time, and then let him go with a fine. But this is of little significance to the 21st Precinct. Their detention room is already full, and many of them are major cases of gun violence. It is impossible to release them, otherwise the security in their jurisdiction will be directly out of control.

So when Kai walked into the 21st Precinct with Meatball, it was a huge crowd. Many suspects were handcuffed directly on the bench, and no police officers were there to take care of them. Now, except for those who answered the phone, no one else in the police station All were sent out.

By the time Kay found Booth, he was negotiating with Captain Hank Boyt, the head of the intelligence unit, who needed more police officers to guard Hamilton.

"Listen, Chief Boyt, I don't want to emphasize the importance of Hamilton anymore. We have to ensure his safety, and I need the police force. You can't take away the manpower that originally belonged to us. You should know that the GD Gang The people are trying to kill him now!"

The police sergeant named Boyt also told Booth very seriously.

"We are CPD! Not the FBI and DEA! Our duty is to protect the safety of the people of Chicago! Of course I know how important Hamilton is, but this is not the reason why we must ignore the chaos outside!"

This is the contradiction within law enforcement agencies. The FBI and DEA see the big picture and are responsible to the federal government. The riots in Chicago have little to do with them. Those are the things that the Chicago Police Department worries about. They only care about how to destroy criminal organizations such as the GD Gang and the Family Alliance that are spread across every state in the United States!

But from the perspective of the Chicago Police Department, their duty is to protect Chicagoans, and their salaries are also paid by the Chicago government. If there were large-scale riots in Chicago, it would be their fault. They are willing to assist the FBI and DEA in taking down the GD Gang. But when the situation gets out of control and the people settle accounts with the police department, they won't care about it! All they know is that they pay taxes, but no one guarantees their safety!

This is a disaster for the entire Chicago police force.

So their focus is not on one channel at all.

"Also, I am only the leader of the intelligence team, not the director. These matters are not my responsibility!"

This is obviously prevarication. There is no other way. The director has already run away after asking for help from the bureau. He is left as the police chief just to mess with the FBI. He has done a great job.

Are you going to say that Hank Boyt doesn't know the importance of Hamilton?

Of course he knows, and he is very willing to help the FBI protect Hamilton, thereby eradicating the GD Gang's cancer in the Southern District. Unfortunately, in reality, he has to make his own choices. It has nothing to do with justice, because what he did was also justice. There is no right or wrong here, it's just about stance. The FBI and Chicago police have very different positions on certain matters.

After saying that, Sheriff Hank turned around and left. Then he saw Kai and Meatball standing not far away with big bags in their hands.

"Who are you?!" Sheriff Hank immediately discovered that there were firearms in their bags. He held the gun on his waist and yelled sternly. At this sensitive moment, two strong men walked into the police station with two packs of guns, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

His shout caused the entire police station to fall silent, and then some police officers immediately followed their captain in a defensive posture.

"Oh~~~~Oh... calm down, calm down. I am the Sheriff of Garter Town, Kay Wayne. Well... the FBI asked for our help!"

Kai and Meatball immediately raised their hands to show that they meant no harm and asked the nervous police officers to calm down. It would be ridiculous if someone shot him twice so unreasonably.

"Hey! Put down the gun, they are our people! Put down the gun!" Booth quickly stood up at this time.

Sheriff Hank glanced at Booth, and then took the lead to release his hand from the handle of his gun. When other police officers saw this, they also put down their guard. Then everything recovered and returned to the noisy scene before. Everyone was extremely busy, and the suspects who were being tortured also began to swear, complain, and cry out. It was very lively. →

"Hank Boyt, head of the Intelligence Department! I'm sorry just now. You saw that we are in chaos here." Hank shook Kai's hand very friendly and apologized.

He had heard Kai's name and knew how fierce this small town police chief was. A group of gunmen raided the police station and were beaten to death by people from a small town police station. In the United States, the police are more of an ordinary job, and the police are ordinary people. There are many police officers who arrest people, but not many police officers who shoot and kill people. Like them, there are very few who dare to fight with desperadoes. , and also killed so many people, this kind of thing is even rarer.

The police are, after all, a violent institution, and they sincerely admire those who can beat them.

"I'm sorry, Jean." At this moment, two black men came behind Kai pushing cleaning supplies.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Kai didn't think much at first and just got out of the way, and the others also got out of the way awkwardly. The two cleaners didn't say much, they just lowered their heads and walked towards the elevator, apparently going upstairs to clean.

When the two black cleaners just walked over, Hank was just about to have a few more words with Kai. Even if there is nothing to do with such a fierce person, it is always right to get to know him.

Kai didn't pay attention, but when he turned to look at Hank, he saw the backs of the two cleaners out of the corner of his eye. Then Kai pushed Hank over, took out a Colt Python from under his coat and pointed it at the two janitors.

"Stop! Or I'll blow your heads off!"

Meatball didn't care, he immediately took out a carbine from his backpack and pointed it at the two black men.

This scene frightened everyone. Some police officers immediately took out their guns and pointed them at Kai and Meatball, while others pointed their guns at the two black men.

But just when Kai was about to warn again, the two black men swooped down, trying to avoid Kai's gun. Unfortunately, Kai was very decisive and shot directly. One black man's head was blown off. The meat ball was almost there. He fired immediately and failed to hit the other black man, giving him a chance to resist.

The black man immediately pulled out an M1911 from his overalls and started shooting.

The moment the black man pulled out his gun, Kai pulled Hank and hid behind a desk nearby. Meatball took Booth and hid in an office.

The black man's shot missed Kay and three others, but another officer and two hapless suspects were hit. After Kay threw Hank to the ground, he immediately stood up and fired three shots from the revolver in his hand. One shot hit the black man's left hand holding the gun, another shot hit his shoulder, and the last shot hit his chest.

The black man jumped on the street!

The gunfight occurred for a very short period of time, no more than thirty seconds. When the gunfire disappeared, a large number of people still didn't know what happened!

When Hank stood up and angrily pulled out his gun and tried to catch the two guys, Kai stopped him.

"There's no need to go, it's hopeless."

Hank looked at Kai, feeling a sense of shame in his heart. Damn it, all the hotshots outside went straight to the police station! And more importantly, I was so stupid that I didn't have any precautions. If I let these two hotshots go upstairs, I don't know what would happen! Of course, what really makes him ashamed is not this matter, but that this matter was discovered by an outsider!

This is so embarrassing!

"What are you looking at! Are they all dead? Check it quickly!!! First check the identities of these two people, and then check how they came in. Who arranged the cleaning today? Why is no one outside checking them? In short, everything is wrong Check it out!"

A large group of police officers immediately swarmed the scene and began to investigate the scene. At the same time, they also sent the three unlucky guys who were accidentally injured to the hospital.

Hank didn't even have the nerve to look at Kai and Booth now. What a shame!

…

After Kai went upstairs to join his brothers Sage and Portman, they also asked what was going on down there and why there were gunshots.

"I saw that they seemed to have something tied around their waists, so I planned to restrain them first. Unexpectedly, the two guys were so courageous that they shot immediately. Fortunately, no one died, otherwise our police officers would be embarrassed. Lost everything."

Kay also lamented that the American people are really living in dire straits. The gang members here actually dare to go directly to the police station to cause trouble, and they take the police seriously. Are the Chicago police so useless that they have no deterrent effect?

That's right, in Kai's opinion. If criminals dare to go to the police station to cause trouble, it is a failure of the police to do their job. As long as the police can be more awesome, the gang members are not so rampant.

Booth sneered and said: "If the public security in Chicago can become like this, the CPD has no face to speak of!"

El Paso has a similar attitude. It is impossible for such a strong law enforcement agency like them to happen. Because once something like this happens, the two major law enforcement agencies will regain their face no matter how heavy the casualties are. For these law enforcement agencies, majesty is above all else!

For example, in the sensational "KIKI case" in 1984, under the instruction of the Mexican drug lord Carlo Quintero, drug traffickers and some corrupt Mexican police kidnapped the DEA's undercover agent Card in November 1984. Mareno, and tortured him, causing multiple fractures or broken limbs throughout his body. He tortured him for more than 30 hours before killing the agent. The drug traffickers also videotaped the torture process and made it public.

Then the DEA used various resources to send a special team directly into Mexico, and arrested the Mexican drug lord Carlo Quintero directly in the enemy's lair, and extradited him to the United States, where he was tried. .

This battle completely established the DEA's reputation in the United States and Mexico. Let drug dealers and criminals feel less alert when they hear about DEA.

If the Chicago police had this kind of temperament in law enforcement in the past, this kind of thing would not happen today.

Moreover, in addition to economic and cultural reasons, the Chicago police's own problems also account for a large part of the reason why Chicago's public security has become like this.

The gang problem in Chicago is not new. Even though many people now say that Los Angeles and New York are sin cities, if you really think about it, these two cities are juniors. Chicago has had a gang problem since the 1920s. The gangsters are on the rampage. And police corruption is a persistent problem that has persisted for many years.

It is precisely because of the police's inaction and complicity that the police as a group have no reputation at all in Chicago. And police officers in other areas look down on the Chicago police because of this. They were even considered a disgrace to the police.

This is why Booth and El Paso were reluctant to come to the 21st game at first. Their reputation was really bad. Now they still feel in their hearts that the big guys at the top are full of shit.

After a few people complained for a while, Chief Hank walked in with a livid face.

"It has been found out that he is a member of the 'Black Disciples'." Bureau 21 of Yu Qing Yu Li needs to report this matter.

"Black Disciples, what does this gang have to do with 'Gangster Gospel'?" It's hard not to think of these two names.

"Black Disciples, Black Believers, Super Hunters and other gangs are all subordinate gangs of the GD Gang. They are all new gangs composed of young children who worship Hoover. Many of these gangs are minors. The two who just died They are all still more than ten days away from reaching adulthood.”

Hank said a little bitterly.

"That means...I just killed two children?" This was definitely a shock to Kai. He is a soldier and a policeman. In the education he received, children were the objects of protection, but today he actually killed two children...

Hank immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, Kai, this is not your fault. It was those hateful gangsters who really killed them. They used various means to deceive and control those children and let them work for them. Is the real murderer!"

Kai shook his head. "Don't worry, I'm not that weak."

Rubbing his cheeks, Kai felt a little...how should I put it, a little sour and a little bored.

In fact, he knew that he had to do that. I just feel unhappy.

Aren’t minors supposed to stay in school? Why do you do this with a gun?

This is Chicago, not a war zone! This is the United States. No matter how annoying this country is in the world, its wealth is certain. Why on earth would two children in such a wealthy country come to die with guns?

"Where is the gang's stronghold?" Kai didn't know what went wrong. Is it the gap between the rich and the poor? Is it the social conflict between whites and blacks? Or something else. He is not a sociologist or a politician, he does not understand and does not need to understand. He didn't think he was capable of changing anything.

He wanted to do something now to relieve the boredom in his heart. Since it was this gangster who instigated and controlled the two children, they must pay the price.

"In Block 78...in an apartment building."

"Very good... Although it's a bit excessive, I hope I can lead the team." Kai looked at Hank seriously.

Kay is not a Chicago police officer, and he is not qualified to participate in any cases in the Chicago area, which involves law enforcement authority. Any police officer takes this kind of thing very seriously. Kay is a small town police chief, and he is also the police chief of Minnesota. He naturally has no law enforcement power in Illinois. If this kind of thing is known to others, the Chicago police will be criticized even more.

That's why Kai said it was a bit much.

"Uh..." Now Hank was a little embarrassed. Kai has no law enforcement authority, and it would be illegal for him to participate in local law enforcement. If something happened, not only him, but also Hank would have to go to court.

"Ahem, I don't think there is a problem. Kai was invited by us, and he is from the FBI and DEA. And the case at hand is jointly investigated by the FBI and DEA. The attack in front of us is targeting Hamilton, so in Within our authority, we are qualified to let Kai lead the team and you, the Chicago police, will assist.”

Booth coughed and said to Hank.

His logic barely made sense. But this statement is enough. Under the current circumstances, I believe that all law enforcement agencies in Chicago have the same hatred. Even if other departments know about it, they will treat it as unknown.

Getting rid of the 'Black Disciples' gangster is the most important thing right now. Even the gangster police have a very consistent attitude on this point. If the dignity of the police is completely destroyed, these gang of American gangsters will not be able to collect illegal money.

So Hank nodded, I will send someone to 'cooperate'. After all, this matter is a matter of the Chicago police, so the so-called cooperation is still based on the Chicago police.
