Chapter 165 Community Joint Defense and Household Settlement

George listened to Li Jie's words and fell into a thought. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Inclusion of a group of ordinary people with extraordinary skills or enthusiasm for community policing into the supernumerary staff of the New York Police is a feasible proposal.

It's not a pat on the head, a hot head and a decision. It's not the kind of empty talk and useless ideas, in fact, it's all empty nonsense.

The idea proposed by Li Kit may seem a little less serious, but it is actually very serious: "The New York police are not omnipotent, and the sheriff should be well aware of this. There are many things you can't do. ”

George did not refute this, he was naturally well aware of the shortcomings of the New York police. The lack of police force made him unable to send police officers to various communities in New York.

In particular, New York is the face of the United States, and it is very important to maintain the face of the city. And what's the cheeky part of New York City? Manhattan, Long Island, at most in the area that contains part of Queens. In order to preserve the face of these New York cities, most of the police force has been committed to these areas.

In particular, the neighborhood radiating out of Manhattan's Dayside Plaza is the most well-equipped area in New York City. Of course, there are also those that include Wall Street and the Central Park neighborhood.

The police presence in these places is almost super-saturated.

As for the Bronx and Brooklyn, which really need a lot of police to maintain law and order, George has no police to send. The reality is often that richer places tend to get more resources skewed, even if they are already in surplus.

And where resources are really needed, they don't get anything.

"In the early stages, we can learn from what Beijing is doing. String this group of vigilantes together. Except for some more normal community volunteer activities. For example, helping the elderly, widows and children, or outside of the normal security patrols in the community. Others, such as if they find some criminal activity, try to get everyone to solve it by calling the police. Maybe New York City could set up a dedicated alarm line for vigilantes. Li Jie touched his chin and said.

"We ourselves do not encourage ordinary people to fight against dangerous criminals on their own, because it is irresponsible to them. Even people with some superpowers, we don't advocate it. Not everyone is professionally trained, and there is a good chance that they will make some drastic moves. ”

"Let every community, including those that are under-policed, have the eyes of the police. The most important thing is to stop crime before it happens, and reduce the crime rate of the whole city. We want everyone to see the positive side of the street vigilantes. ”

"Proper cooperation rather than confrontation, like those anonymous whistleblowers in Beijing. Some people are not like fighting crime, but the price they have to bear after fighting crime is unbearable for many people. Including the various dangers that you and your family may face. Li Jie's words are not alarmist, but real.

"It's just the very beginning, but I think there are some things we can try. Li Jie said seriously to George.

"I'm a little curious as to why you would have thought of doing this. George suddenly asked Li Jie, and Li Jie didn't react a little: "What? What are you talking about?" ”

"It's about uniting the vigilantes on the streets in this way. And then you can have the organization and the ability to get that group of people to do what they're supposed to do, and that makes sure they're not doing things that are too out of line. George said seriously.

"I'm asking why you would have thought to do this. Logically speaking, these things don't have much to do with you. There is still a big difference between the night watchman and the street vigilantes, you are more professional. There are also more things to do, but there is no need to wade into this troubled water. ”

"Sheriff, many of what you said are true, but one is wrong. Li Jie glanced at George's badge: "The night watchman is no different from the street vigilantes and the New York police, and the other more than 20 million civilians in this city. ”

"We live here, and we call it home. Whether it's a vigilante or a superhero. It is never a separate individual, and there is essentially no difference between a hero and a civilian. What Li Jie said made George fall into deep thought.

"The hero itself should not be separated from the crowd alone, no matter how capable you are. Ordinary people are always concerned with their daily lives. Why did Tony Stark's invention of hair growth water get so much more attention than his invention of new energy and his deeds as Iron Man?" Li Jie said.

"Because the rest of the things are too far away from the common people. When Tony Stark shuttles through the clouds in his steel armor, the higher he flies, the farther away he gets from the populace. The greater the idea, the greater the gap between the mind and the crowd. So everyone will think that Iron Man is cool, but few people will really understand what Tony Stark is thinking. ”

And that's just a microcosm of superheroes. So the night watchman has been working to fight street crime and control the crime rate in New York. Some people have said to me, especially to Spider-Man: wasting ten minutes to catch a thief, is it worth your life and ability to do these things?"

George listened to Li Jie's words, and for the first time began to face the superhero in front of him, he was telling the true inner world of a hero.

"I would say it's worth it. Li Jie said seriously: "Because for an ordinary person, he won't care about what great invention Tony Stark has invented today that can change the world." But he probably had all his living expenses for the month in his wallet. ”

"People are sometimes extraordinarily vulnerable, and small blows can change a person's life and future. It's just a wallet for some, but for the person in question it could be the whole world. ”

Li Jie smiled: "Aren't the actions of vigilantes and heroes just to save the world? Whether you are saving this earth or someone's world." It's all important, isn't it?"

"If his world is ruined, that person doesn't care if there are any new inventions or new trends in the world, because then everything has nothing to do with him. Superheroes if they don't care about it all, or even ignore it. It will only cause ordinary people to drift away from them, and even estrangement and confrontation. Worship is not a meal, and if there is no popular base, any superhero is just a ridiculous joke. ”

"The so-called strong people who are addicted to the world of self will eventually be abandoned by others. And I want to reconcile a little bit of this. A blend that is good for all. Li Jie expressed his opinion completely, and George nodded deeply.

He agrees with Li Jie's sense of the relationship between heroes and the people, and it is not the kind of condescending attitude that George admires.

In fact, when Li Jie first released the video of me being for everyone, he had already started to do similar things. Tear off the aura of divinity and the label attached to the hero. Only by showing the human side can the hero truly gain the support of the people. And the promotion of the so-called masked hero registration bill will also become water without a source and a tree without roots.

"Of course, if the vigilante heroes want to. You can register your Hero title and costume on the Night's Watch website, preferably with the ability to register your superpowers. Of course, this is on a voluntary basis and does not require them to upload their own private information. Li Jie continued.

"I can guarantee the privacy and security of this website, and there will be no leakage of any information. "It is impossible for Li Jie to believe that the government is now like a sieve. The devil knows if there's any Hydra working inside.

"We hope that a small number of elites will drive the other neighbors in the community to watch and help each other. It's just a rudimentary stage, but I think it's a good thing to try. Bringing a tacit understanding between the New York police and vigilantes could even serve as a model for other cities. ”

"Small people have big power, and more and more people realize that they can do more than they think. It's also great to get rid of the apathy between people. ”

George sighed, "You are really a very good lobbyist. I can't think of any reason to reject this proposal, but by the way, what are you going to call it?"

"How about calling it [Community Joint Defense and Home to Home]?" Li Jie smiled happily.
