The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 478 Stop talking, Chuck!ambulance!ambulance! ! !
"continue……"

Detective Amy Santiago heard this and subconsciously looked at Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone

"A slap in the face?"

Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone's mouth twitched.

Well, this is to continue to beat yourself up.

"Chuck, you disagree with me on this case?"

He guessed it, but he still took the initiative to ask.

For Detective Chuck, he still values ​​and admires him very much.

He didn't want to diverge from the fundamental idea, because that would mean that there would be no cooperation in the future.

So if there is a contradiction, it is better to talk about it.

"Correct."

Chuck nodded frankly.

"Don't you think you shouldn't sue him, too?"

The African-American assistant prosecutor was surprised.

"Before just now, yes!"

Chuck nodded.

"why?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone couldn't accept it: "With your IQ, you should be able to understand the process of this case with these few words.

Yes!
Two habitual armed robbers entered a jewelry store to rob. As the owner, he was qualified to defend himself with a gun.

But that's only in-store.

As long as he shot one by one in the store and directly killed the two of them, even if the police gave him an award, I would agree.

Because that is indeed legitimate self-defense.

But his marksmanship wasn't that good, he just fought them off, and then he should have stayed in the store and called 911 for the police to deal with.

But he opened the safety door and chased them out. During the process, he changed the clips and chased and killed the two fleeing people, causing one to die in the corner alley and the other to die in the car.

This is downright murder!

Shouldn't it be strictly enforced? "

"Shouldn't!"

Chuck said calmly: "Aside from this fact, if it weren't for Detective Amy Santiago and Detective Annoying to solve the case actively, do you know how this kind of case would be handled in the end?"

"Facts aside..."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone was very speechless.

Shen Temiao put aside the facts!

Shouldn't everything be analyzed in detail?

"Chuck, I know what you mean."

The assistant prosecutor of African descent smoothed things over and said, "If it wasn't for Santiago and Jack, this kind of case would probably be regarded as a gang vendetta. If you record it, no one will pay attention to it."

"According to this principle, many cases would not be completed without us, so if those of us who are capable encounter them, we can not handle them?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone was still brooding over Chuck's bastard remark of 'putting aside the facts', and said directly in a bad tone.

He knew that Chuck liked to see the essence through the phenomenon, and made up one hell joke after another based on social reality.

He was very helpless about this.

But also acceptable.

After all these hell jokes, while hell enough, are true.

Chuck didn't say that the harsh reality represented by this hell joke was still there, and it wouldn't go away.

But he is extremely dissatisfied with Chuck's redefinition of how to look at this hellish reality, and the distorted worldview and methodology of "leaving aside the facts".

This is a nonsense nonsense that doesn't care about face!

"Do you think what you said is the truth and truth?"

Chuck looked at him expressionlessly: "You agree to fight back and defend yourself in the store, but you can't accept him chasing down and killing two repeat gunmen. You think that as the owner of the store, he should stay in the store and call 911." Wait for the police to deal with it, right?"

"Correct!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone said sternly: "This is an irreproachable response process that complies with the law!"

"It's you, not me, who is putting aside the facts now!"

Chuck said frankly: "In your eyes, the legal and irreproachable response process is completely a fantasy.

If you call the police, the police will come as soon as possible?

You are also a senior prosecutor, and you have seen many cases, don't you know the result of such a choice?
Those who can have this idea are law-abiding citizens who abide by the public and abide by the law.

But what is the reality?
How long did it take for the police to arrive?
Tell you a joke.

Law-abiding citizens are usually the most supportive of the police. If they have any delicious food, they will take the initiative to give it to the police in the nearby police station.

But one night, a robber with a gun came to his house, and he immediately called 911. Do you know when the police arrived?

Four hours later!
You can watch three shootout movies in four hours!

What's the use of the police coming again?

How do you think he survived the disaster, how did he feel afterwards? "

"..."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone is silent.

Detective Amy Santiago's expression was even more embarrassing and ashamed.

"The result is that he is completely chilled."

Chuck said with a blank expression: "The sympathy and care of bullshit, at a critical moment, can't make the police who should have arrived within 10 minutes provide him with the protection he deserves in time!

You talk a lot about the lawful and irreproachable response process, the biggest possibility is that you won’t be able to wait for the police to arrive in time, and you will only be waiting for more armed robbers to retaliate with stronger firepower!
Then the one who died was the law-abiding shopkeeper!
The dead have no human rights, and they don't know how to talk about their feelings!
After the case happened, the probability of being able to catch the murderer was less than one-third, and after the murderer was caught, only one-third of them were successfully prosecuted. No.

Then these habitual criminals who keep coming in and out of the prison reappear with guns in front of the living new law-abiding shopkeepers and start a new round of cycle.

It wasn't until thousands of times of injury that there was such a law-abiding citizen who dared to resist. Because the marksmanship was not accurate enough, he didn't directly kill the dominant gunman and the habitual criminal in the store. He was worried that the other party would come back for revenge and killed him.

Afterwards, you will strictly handle the case. Who exactly are you trying to attack? "

"This is New York, not rural Texas!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone's face was a little red, and he looked straight at Chuck with sharp eyes: "The NYPD's response time will not be delayed to 4 hours!"

He was hurt by Chuck's last 'who the hell are you trying to hit'.

Who is he?
Executive Assistant Attorney General!

Represents the law!

Fight against criminals!

But now Chuck is thinking that his ass is crooked, not criminals, but law-abiding citizens!

This made him completely unacceptable!
"You're taking it for granted again."

Chuck said calmly: "It's the same as the defendant thought that New York must be a beacon of democracy and freedom, and would definitely protect their legal immigration rights, so after learning in civics class that they can hold a gun for self-defense, they immediately cut off their guns when robbers came to their door. .

What about New York?
On the street where the defendant's jewelry store was located, there was an exchange of fire between three guns, all with empty and reloaded magazines.

This level of intensive firefight is very harsh in the silent night.

Many people have heard it.

But no one came out to check.

Because they know the real common sense better than you, and know that not to mention the risk of the probe being hit by stray bullets, even if people are sitting at home, this kind of stray bullets fired at each other may still break through the window and hit them.

Therefore, after hearing such dense bullets, all the residents on the street shrank at home, and no one called the police!

The bodies of the two habitual armed robbers were found, and they were found by the garbage truck the next morning and reported to the police.

What made all law-abiding citizens make the same choice, instead of following what you call a law-abiding and blameless procedure?
Even people like them who are not directly in danger of being shot by bullets choose to call the police, but you just let the two armed robbers exchange fire with each other, which may attract more armed robbers and more armed robbers at any time. The owner of the jewelry store with strong firepower did not take advantage of the victory to eliminate the danger, but stayed in the store and called 911 to call the police? "

"What you said is only possible, not absolute!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone's face became more and more red, which was a sign of agitation. He loosened his tie and kept staring at Chuck sharply.

"Could it be because of this possibility that he was given the right to fire unlimitedly? You think there is something wrong with me going up and down the line to strictly handle this case, but haven't you thought about how many people will follow suit afterwards if it is not strictly handled?

Didn't you hear him keep saying that he was not guilty, saying that similar cases happened in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Baltimore, and they were all acquitted in the end!

It is precisely because these cases that happened there were not dealt with fairly from a legal point of view, but from a political point of view, they were coerced by public opinion, and those who should have been sentenced were acquitted, which made today's defendants have the illusion, Feel like they shot and got acquitted, so can he!
If everyone thinks like him, doesn't obey the law, but shoots himself when something happens, have you ever imagined how terrible New York will be? "

"New York is no longer Gotham."

Chuck said straightforwardly.

"What did you say?!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone suddenly stood up and glared at Chuck: "You actually think that the ridiculous and terrible statement of 'everyone has a gun so it won't mess' is right?

Am I really wrong about you?

Are you not a rigorous scientist who only starts from the facts, but a Texas cowboy who yearns for the bloody primitive shootouts in western movies? "

Of course he knows that New York is the prototype of Gotham in the DC comics.

Chuck clearly meant that the situation he was most worried about would not only not happen, but would turn 180 degrees, directly changing from the worst to the best.

For him who insists on the law and the rule of law, this is an intolerable battle of ideas!
"Everyone holds a gun so that there will be no chaos. This sentence is indeed ridiculous."

Chuck said calmly: "But in this New York full of hell jokes, it's not as ridiculous and scary as you imagined.

Any policy should be tailored to local conditions.

Now you feel excitedly that this case must be handled strictly, to send a clear signal to the defendant jewelry store owner and the latecomers that they must still abide by the law no matter what.

But you are ignoring one of the simplest truths. "

"What's the point?"

The African-American assistant prosecutor quickly answered the call, walked over to block between the two and began to cool down, and motioned to Detective Amy Santiago to do the same.

In his eyes, everyone had cooperated a few times before, and they were very happy. They were all good people pleading for the people, and there was no need to make such a fuss over a case.

Especially Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone, who is a senior prosecutor, what case has he not encountered before?
Persistence and giving up have long been easy, and it doesn't depend on your own likes and dislikes.

Facing Chuck like this now, Ben Stone was so excited.

He can understand too.

It is precisely because he values ​​and agrees with Chuck the detective and regards Chuck as a companion that he is so excited.

Otherwise, express your own ideas with a blank face, don't answer the question at all, and just continue to do whatever you want, and there is no need to argue with a blushing and thick neck.

Isn't it just to try to get Chuck to accept his ideas!
"If you only talk about toxicity but not dose, you are playing hooligans!"

Chuck said with a blank face: "You keep saying that it is because of similar cases in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Baltimore that the trial was not carried out based on the law itself, which gave people, including the defendant in this case, a dangerous illusion. , Worried that this will spread, causing the entire city or even the entire country to abandon the civilized rule of law and return to the original bloody gun battle.

American Juhejutsu, the strong wins!

But you have forgotten, how many cases of this kind have there been in all these years?

You can count them on one hand!
And how many people are killed by gunfire every year?
More than 4!

More than 100 a day!
Excluding gang vendettas, law-abiding citizens who were unable to resist being shot accounted for the vast majority.

You are not afraid of the harm caused by shootings and murders in units of tens of thousands and the extremely bad and terrible negative impact on society, but are you so afraid of the Jedi counterattack by negligible law-abiding citizens?
If armed robbers don't come to their door, who would be a normal law-abiding citizen to live a good life? However, do you have to risk your life and death to play this kind of American-style cohabitation with professional gun-wielding gangsters and habitual bandits?
Are you standing for the law or the criminal?
Are you worried that the majority of law-abiding citizens will dare to resist, and criminals will not dare to rob and kill people with guns at home and in the street so recklessly? "

"you!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone swayed and his eyes went dark.

It wasn't the African-American assistant who came to help him and stood in front of him.

It's really dark.

"Ben, don't get excited, Chuck meant no harm."

The African-American assistant prosecutor quickly appeased: "He is just discussing the facts, don't think about it."

While talking, he desperately winked at the only female present, Detective Amy Santiago, to smooth things over for her.

Detective Amy Santiago was already dumbfounded.

Even before she came here, she already knew that Chuck came here to slap her heart and face, but she was already dumbfounded when she saw that the executive assistant prosecutor Ben Stone, whom she had always respected, was about to go to the hospital.

Does this work?
"Chuck, Stone is of course against the law, you know it!"

Detective Amy Santiago who reacted hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Originally, she just wanted to find Chuck to save the scene.

But I didn't expect that before the case was settled, the internal strife would start again.

She really wanted to pat the table and howl: "My head is really about to split!"

"I know."

Chuck nodded, and when Detective Amy San Diego and the African-American assistant prosecutor just showed joy, his voice changed: "Many times, the law and criminals are one."

The entire office was dead silent, and then I heard the African-American assistant prosecutors exclaim: "Ben, are you okay, don't scare me!"

"Ambulance! Ambulance!!!"
