Chapter 1931 Is About to Begin
Three more days passed in a flash.
The demonstrations here in Los Angeles are in full swing and show no signs of calming down at all. On the contrary, they are getting more intense.
The incident of a large supermarket being looted by 'demonstrators' is now the hottest incident in Los Angeles and even the entire California region, apart from the current hot public opinion trend.
The reason is simple. The National Guard surrounded the large supermarket, but the looters were not caught for three days. The two sides faced off like this for three days...
With the abundant food storage and drinking water in the supermarket, the hundreds of looters did not need to worry about going hungry at all. The supplies were enough to last them for several months.
More importantly, the National Guard did not dare to attack by force, especially if they were not allowed to use heavy attack weapons, so they could only besiege the opponent in this way.
There is an area for selling firearms in this large supermarket, so the guys who were surrounded in the supermarket easily obtained a large amount of arms and equipment, and then confronted the National Guard troops besieged outside.
Speaking of which, this thing is actually a bit funny.
Bags of rice were piled at the entrance and exit of the supermarket by those guys, forming a very crude defensive position. Some back doors and employee passages in the supermarket were completely sealed by these guys within three days. There is no shortage of these materials in supermarkets.
I have to mention here that the products sold in large supermarkets in the United States in another time and space are really very comprehensive, ranging from arms and weapons to various small commodities.
Originally, this was to facilitate people's shopping.
But now, it is providing convenience for the plunderers.
The National Guard troops surrounded those guys here, attracting a large number of media from all walks of life, and formed a temporary broadcast station on the outside. Many media visitors even set up tents there.
Well, CNN was no exception and also sent personnel there.
Those who were trapped in the supermarket were basically African-American gang members from South Central District. They joined a parade that day. After following the parade to the vicinity of the supermarket, they broke away from the parade and began to attack the supermarket. Loot.
To be honest, they probably had this idea in mind from the beginning.
But I didn't expect it,
I will be trapped here.
Therefore, many African-American residents living in Central South District began to support these guys in the supermarket. After all, those people who were trapped in the supermarket still have many relatives in Central South District.
The situation started to get a little weird.
The African-American residents in the South-Central District spontaneously organized and began to take to the streets. It was not known who led them, and they actually began to beat white people passing by, or throw stones at the vehicles driven by white people.
Faced with their excessive behavior, the police did not take any action and just let it go. I have to say it is really strange.
But the people in Central and South District, who were getting excited little by little, did not realize that they were in a very strange situation. On the contrary, they thought that the white people or the officials were cowardly.
Therefore, after realizing that the authorities had not taken any action, African-American people in other areas suddenly became excited and joined in one after another.
Of course, the situation can still be controlled at the moment. The most they can do is beat up white people passing by, or drivers of other ethnic groups who drive by. No lives have been lost yet, so the attack is still very serious.
But normal people can see that if the authorities don't come forward and let those African Americans get so high, then things will completely get out of control.
Kim Hyun-tae, who was staying at home, was also wondering, what are the politicians in Washington waiting for?
Isn't this a good opportunity now?
"Andrew, what do you think about this?"
As usual, he turned on the LCD TV in the living room and paid attention to the confrontation in the supermarket. After listening to the inferences and speculations of commentators in various media and their reports on the troubles caused by the African-American community in Los Angeles, he asked Andrew what he thought.
As usual, Andrew, who stood behind Kim Hyun-tai and fulfilled his role as a butler perfectly, bowed slightly and responded: "The politicians in Washington are going to take action. According to what I know, they have already formulated a plan. Script, the drama is about to begin now.”
Things that Jin Xiantai couldn't guess, Andrew wouldn't know.
This guy can use the Internet to collect email information sent and received by politicians in Washington, monitor the phone calls they answer, and find out the key information and intelligence.
Maybe this is a very difficult thing for others.
But for Andrew, it was really a piece of cake and a piece of cake.
script?
What Andrew said suddenly made Jin Xiantai energetic.
"Tell me, what on earth are these guys planning to do? They actually came up with a script, tsk tsk tsk, it's really not that simple."
Jin Xiantai urged Andrew to be more detailed. He could see that Andrew really had a detailed grasp of the situation, otherwise it would not have said this.
From what Andrew revealed, it can be seen that those guys in Washington have big plans, otherwise they would not be able to stand still until now and still endure in the face of such a situation.
On the LCD screen, a photo of African-American residents in the South Central District gathering together again flashed by. Jin Xiantai couldn't help curling his lips and felt sad for them.
These people have fallen into the trap, and they obviously don't know what will be waiting for them in the future.
Based on Jin Xiantai's understanding of those people in Washington, given the nature of those guys, as long as they take action, this matter will definitely make a big fuss, and I don't know how many people will be tragic.
However, Jin Xiantai will not pity those people in the South Central District.
Because they didn't have any good ideas in the first place, they just wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the fire, and many guys took the opportunity to commit crimes.
"Master, what I know is this..."
Andrew will not hide this information from Jin Xiantai. Since Jin Xiantai is interested in finding out, Andrew will definitely tell him everything he knows.
------Dividing line------
At noon that day, Rodney, who lives in the South Central District, drove home from his friend's place.
When he was at his friend's house, he drank a lot of alcohol, so under the influence of alcohol, he drove very fast, which attracted the attention of a police officer.
Policewoman Singh began to chase Rodney and called nearby colleagues to help her. About half an hour later, on a street in the Bay Area, the police finally forced Rodney to stop.
Several police cars surrounded Rodney's car, and the police officers opened the doors and shouted to Rodney from their police cars, asking him to get out of the car on his own initiative and raise his hands.
Unfortunately, Rodney was drunk. With alcohol on his mind, he certainly would not do what the police officers told him to do. Instead, he rolled down the window and started to curse at the police officers, and occasionally made some obscene gestures.
Seeing this, the police officers were too lazy to talk nonsense. Several burly police officers flashed over and carefully dragged Rodney out of the car.
In the process, Rodney was quite uncooperative and resisted fiercely.
Of course, if this guy was sober, he would never do this.
You know, even American policemen from different time and space are not easy to mess with. If Rodney resists fiercely, he will be easily shot by the police. This is really not a joke.
But today is very strange.
Although Rodney resisted fiercely, the police officers had no intention of drawing their guns at all. I don’t know if Rodney was lucky or there were other factors.
Because Rodney did not cooperate, several police officers could not subdue him smoothly. The racial talents of black uncles broke out at this time. The powerful force was so strong that even four or five big and strong police officers could not do anything to him.
In the end, the police officers had to take out their batons and beat Rodney severely, which made him quiet and honest.
The next thing was simple. After Rodney was subdued, he was handcuffed and taken to the police car, and the police officers sent him to the nearest police station.
This matter should have ended here.
After all, there are many such things every day, and basically nothing great.
But today is different.
After several police cars drove away, a man holding a home camera at the window of a nearby two-story building turned off his camera equipment, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and made a call. It was unknown what he said to the person on the other end, and then he left in a hurry.
About an hour later, the most popular news media channel on the East Coast temporarily inserted a news report with the sensational title [Los Angeles police abuse violence, and people of color are treated unfairly].
In this news broadcast, the scene of the police beating Rodney with batons was broadcast, and they cleverly edited it, and some key things were not presented, so that everyone who saw the news and the picture felt that the police were beating a black citizen innocently.
And this news triggered broadcasts and discussions in a short period of time, as well as the anger of the African community, and it even added fuel to the fire in Los Angeles, where the situation was not very good.
Jin Xiantai, who stayed at home, also saw the news.
However, Andrew told him some information in advance, so Jin Xiantai did not seem too surprised.
Less than half an hour after the news was broadcast, Old George called him.
"William, strengthen the security of your mansion. Los Angeles will be very chaotic in the next three days. You have to be careful. The matter will be resolved soon."
