Chapter 37: Complex Human Nature
Sometimes, when difficulties are in front of you, in fact, the most difficult thing is the step forward, because the thought of thinking before and after will become the most deadly drag in this second, but once you cross this step, although the thinking in the bottom of your heart still exists, the pressure will immediately become lighter and become less unbearable.
"The SWAT reserve team all rushed up to the third floor, remember, there are Mexicans in rooms 301, 304, and 307 on the third floor, and your task is to suppress them with fire, and not let anyone shoot at our wounded with the muzzle."
This was the second judgment that was made immediately after the decision to shoot at the weekend, and he had already made a choice between the hostages and the officers, so it was necessary to ensure that this choice did not lead to more casualties.
Touch.
The door of the command car clanged in front of the door, and Matthew dragged the door to step onto the command car, and when he saw the SWAT reserve team that he had scolded himself rushing up the corridor of Building 19 with a gun, at this time, as the deputy director, he had to know what was happening.
"SIR, what is the current situation......"
After seeing Matthew get into the car on the weekend, he briefly explained what happened to him, he didn't describe it too much, just used simple adjectives such as 'I don't know the number of casualties', 'our people are facing the guns of the Mexicans' and 'I made such a decision', when the whole thing was described, Matthew's eyes widened and froze in place, not knowing how to define the decision for the weekend! You say he's wrong? Is the life of the policeman a life? Did you say he's right? The media stood guard outside, and they had explained the whole plan before the action began, and assured that no ordinary residents would be harmed. In case after the affair is over. Carrying down the corpse of an ordinary resident. How will the authorities respond to the media criticism tomorrow?
Matthew is not a weekend, he can't simply analyze the pros and cons of a thing based on the current situation, as a deputy director who is about to be promoted to the position of director, the word 'later' can never be ignored.
"SIR, I NEED YOUR HELP NOW, THE WOUNDED WILL BE LIFTED DOWN IN A MOMENT, AND I DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GIVE ANY ORDERS TO THE AMBULANCE PERSONNEL, I HOPE YOU CAN HELP COORDINATE. Let our people get the treatment they deserve the moment they come down. β
Matthew was suddenly touched!
Saying this over the weekend is tantamount to reaching out and pushing the deputy director out of the matter, because it is dangerous, and once the case is made public by the media, the public cannot understand the current decision of the police, and it is very likely that there will be crowds of people holding signs to protest, and a deputy director who is about to be promoted cannot be affected by this wave, which will definitely affect his future.
"SIR, IF POSSIBLE, YOU'D BETTER ACT AS IF YOU HADN'T HEARD MY BRIEFING."
Are you planning to carry this on your own over the weekend?
He's not that great!
In such a short period of time, all he could think of over the weekend was in case this matter would ferment after the media exposed, and keeping Matthew would have the entire LAPD behind him!
Remember the Ferguson incident? A white police officer shot and killed a black man when he felt he was in danger, prompting protests from most of the black population in the United States. Eventually, the solution to this matter is: The court acquitted the officer. However, it was his police station that first spoke out in support of the policeman, because the police department must guarantee the police the power to shoot if they find themselves in danger, otherwise the safety of the police in this country cannot be guaranteed.
Immediately afterwards, Matthew found himself being ignored, and Weekend picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Nick, tell me the situation in the corridor, Nick ......" Weekend shouted this sentence and looked at Matthew, who was still standing in the command car, said: "SIR, keep ...... when interrupted"
Swish!
Matthew snatched the walkie-talkie in his hand and said, "Sniper, what are ****** waiting for, shoot!" β
A figure just stood in front of him!
That second......
Weekend......
Speechless.
β¦β¦
Bang.
The sniper in the parking lot was preparing everything, and the voice of the deputy director happened to sound in his ears, and at the same time, the Remington 700P police sniper rifle in his hand was concussed after the bullet was fired, and the bullet pushed forward at a very fast speed, breaking through all resistance......
Sou!
Burst!
Sniper No. 4 clearly saw from the scope that the bandit was tilting his head to deal with the police rushing in from outside the door at any time, when a bullet hole suddenly appeared at the temple, and when his head slammed into the wall under the impact of the bullet, the blood in the bullet hole was suddenly thrown up, and a stream of blood that was thrown up was splashed high, and then fell in the air and smashed to the ground. At that moment, looking at the Mexican again, the whole body fell to the ground limply under the reaction force of the impact on the wall, like a puppet that had been pulled off the silk thread that controlled it.
"Huh......" Sniper No. 4 let out a long breath: "SIR, No. 4 completed the mission, a bandit in room 307 was killed, the bandit hiding in the room did not retaliate against the hostage, and shrank back under this shot, 307 can break through the window, repeat, 307 can break the window to enter." β
Of course, there was no next order coming out of the intercom, after all, the whole plan was set for room 301, and when this plan was formulated, there was never a special police officer on this side of room 307!
"Well done."
Matthew took the walkie-talkie and said, "But you must show me that no matter where the muzzle pops out of the hidden position in the room, you must shoot and interfere, and they must not find an opportunity to shoot at the hostages." β
During the time period when the tension had just been relieved and the weekend could only breathe a sigh of relief, Matthew's scolding came from his ears: "On the weekend, are you ****** idiot?" MotherββfββuββcββkerοΌ β
"The commander-in-chief of this case is coordinating the medical staff at a time when there is a difficult phase in the battle?"
"You're really going to make up an alibi for me, you think you're helping me get away with a murder!"
I didn't expect Matthew to suddenly explode into such a scolding on the weekend, and he could only watch him in a wheelchair.
"Thank you." Matthew said this after the scolding, and his mood was a little low.
Matthew then turned back to the technician and asked, "Hey, that guy, who ordered the sniper to shoot?" β
"Officer Zhou, SIR......" Technicians are involved in such a complicated incident, to be honest, they are a little weak-minded.
Matthew showed a face that could scare people to death, and roared, "You're fucking fired, get out of here now!" β
βSIRοΌ I remembered that it was the deputy chief who ordered the sniper to shoot, and Officer Zhou relayed it on his behalf! β
"Keep working."
There was a complication in Matthew's eyes on the weekend, and that tangled face even made it clear that even he didn't know if it was the right thing to do.
At that time, the weekend was touched, and if Matthew was really righteous, he would be a little unable to read, but that sense of hesitation of human nature has always surrounded him, and after this man overcame everything with his strong willpower, he felt that he had seen the sublimation of personality charm on the weekend.
Protecting oneself is something that everyone will have, but Matthew first grabbed the walkie-talkie and repeated the order once, and then said that the reason put forward by the weekend is not appropriate, according to this order, in such a short period of time, Matthew is impossible to think about whether he is in danger first, the only thing that can be considered is whether the order issued on the weekend is in line with the actual situation, and the subsequent outbursts are dissatisfied with the weekend's successive overreaches.
This dissatisfaction is not venting, but the order given is completely out of the plan, he can only be mentally prepared after thinking, otherwise there will be mood swings in the face of such a strong impact. However, Matthew did not forget where he was at that time, and the danger came to mind as he remembered the situation described over the weekend, and the second just as the scolding stopped, replaced by a 'thank you' under the complicated expression.
