Chapter 1392 Head-On Conflict
For a moment, Bruce was so rebuffed by Bradlow that he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute. After thinking for a moment, he cleared his mind and shook his head: "No, you are quibbling! The super soldiers you created are much stronger than ordinary SWAT police. Not even a little bit! According to my investigation, they even have a powerful self-healing ability similar to immortality. Even if they are shot by criminals, their lives will not be in danger! The so-called 'having to kill criminals in order to protect themselves' is just that. An excuse to eliminate crime by killing criminals! Although they have powers far beyond those of ordinary people, super soldiers cannot show mercy and adhere to the bottom line of not killing innocent people indiscriminately. They are obviously killing machines!"
"So what?" Bradlow said indifferently: "The original intention of the establishment of the SWAT force is to make their combat capabilities crush armed criminals, so as to annihilate criminals efficiently and quickly. Shooting criminals is not just for self-protection, but also for the purpose of killing criminals as quickly as possible. End the battle in urban environments where people gather, and try to protect citizens from being affected by crossfire and injuring innocent people! Even if the special police are not super soldiers, they will never show mercy when killing criminals, because once they show mercy, it will be a dereliction of duty to protect hostages and innocent people! "
At this point, Bredero narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Compared with a headshot, using hand-to-hand combat or using some small props to knock out or subdue criminals one by one takes much longer. In this process Criminals continue to use bombs and machine guns. Where do you put the lives of innocent citizens around you? Is sending Robin to evacuate people your solution? Even if someone is evacuating people, people are lucky enough to escape every time Can you survive the bullet? Invisibly, you have pardoned countless criminals, but killed countless innocent people! The lives of criminals are important, but the lives of the people are not important? They deserve to show magnanimity and forgiveness after suffering unwarranted violations. Those criminals, please spare their lives?”
“It seems that this is the fundamental point of difference between our philosophies.”
Bruce frowned and said: "I firmly believe that fighting violence for violence cannot bring about real peace. A person's life and death should not be decided by superheroes! And you... as far as I know, you are a firm supporter of the death penalty and believe that 'killing one person' Saving thousands of people is an extremely cost-effective exchange. For this reason, you even funded lobby groups to continuously lobby Congress, trying to amend the country's legislation and lower the death penalty sentencing standards."
Having said this, Bruce said in an extremely serious tone: "I don't kill criminals, I just don't want to be like them and lack the constraints and bottom line... He pioneered the practice of killing to save people. If there is one, there will be ten thousand. Those who are accustomed to killing If the extraordinary beings cannot hold on to the bottom line, sooner or later they will be deceived by power, thinking that power is everything, and that having power can dominate everything, and the world will be destroyed in the war between extraordinary beings fighting for power!"
"Actually, I myself also advocate that killing should not be done with a knife, but with the help of laws and systems. If it is reasonable and legal, some people should be killed. In order to promote peace as soon as possible, I hope that Japan will not burn down Tokyo again. Did you drop two atomic bombs and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians?"
Bradlow spread his hands and said: "Mr. Wayne, I don't want to waste time with you to discuss in depth the rights and wrongs of the concept of 'killing or not killing' between you and me. You are a vegetarian, then you can continue to eat grass and don't interfere with one You can object to my views on the eating habits of meat eaters, but you must defend to the death my right to speak. This is the 'freedom' advocated by the country of hope. I only know that everything I do is in compliance with the law and has been approved by the government and With the support of the military and my constant spending on publicity, many people who had been harmed by criminals began to support me.
Yes, I was planning to massacre criminals during law enforcement, execute criminals during trials, and even bribe fellow inmates to kill criminals while they were in jail. The first two were legal killings, but the last one had no valid evidence against me. "
The black-haired boy showed a proud and ferocious smile: "If you want to stop me, you can't convince me with words. Unless you gather your justice partners to assassinate me, I can stand here and let you kill me! But it seems like this I violated your principles again. According to your rules, you should arrest me and send me to the police and let the court judge me. However, I did not break the law. You used violence to stop me, but you broke the law. So, amazing Batman, what can you do to me?"
Bruce clenched his fists and tried to teach the bear son a lesson on the spot, but he knew that the martial arts skills of the bear son were so much better than his own that he couldn't beat him in a one-on-one fight; secondly, even if he was super If the son who can be beaten does not resist, then the beating will be in vain. In the Country of Hope, it is illegal for a father to beat his son. If he is reported to the child welfare department, he will be immediately deprived of custody and may even face jail time.
"Can I take your words as a provocation?"
Bruce said coldly: "You will regret it, my son. You are too young and have not fallen into a real bottomless abyss and climbed out of it like me. I will let you understand that becoming Batman's opponent , what a crazy thing it would be!”
Bradlow shrugged indifferently: "Oh, I'm so scared, but as far as I know, your sworn enemies are all alive and well, and may live longer than you in the future. After you die, They can go to your grave to have a party together, but they don’t know what you are threatening, so who can you expect to be scared by this kind of threat?”
Although the traitor's ridicule was full of sarcasm, what he said was the truth. Bruce also secretly suspected that one day he would be killed by someone. Those super criminals who were sent to prison by him again and again would probably also complain about the good food in prison. , live a regular life and be healthy and live a long life.
"And I never threaten others, I just keep doing good deeds."
Bredlow changed his tone and sneered: "You may have noticed that Chief Gordon didn't turn on the Bat Beacon to call you during this period, right? Do you think that's because he was suspended by his superiors? On the contrary, he I worked hard for the Super SWAT officers and passed on the information that should have been given to you to the Super SWAT officers."
Bruce's heart suddenly sank. He did find that Gordon's attitude towards him had changed, and he also guessed that Gordon was alienated from him due to some influence, but he did not expect that there was also a reason for Bradlow's mischief.
"Did you threaten him?"
Bruce could barely hold back his anger and gritted his teeth, saying that even though he knew he couldn't beat his son and would even break the law due to domestic violence, he punched him hard.
"No, how could I make such an illegal act as 'threatening' a public official?"
Bradlow said with a smile: "I just did him a small favor and cured his daughter who was paralyzed by you indirectly. You probably don't know yet, the 'oracle' who often provides you with network information support." Barbara Gordon was actually invited by Amanda Waller to join the Suicide Squad a long time ago. She was a very ambitious girl, and she also wanted to recruit a group of best friends to establish the Birds of Prey with the support of the government. Now that I have cured her, she can finally realize her dream."
