Chapter 197: The Birth of a Hero

When it comes to the declining cities of the United States, most people will immediately think of Detroit, where the city is bankrupt, the urban area is chaotic, the suburbs are deserted, and the crime rate remains high.

Although Cleveland is not as dilapidated as Detroit, it is also an old industrial city in the Great Lakes region, and Cleveland is not much better than Detroit.

In the distant streets, where there are few pedestrians, everyone who travels alone, whether strong or thin, is in a hurry, and does not want to stay on the streets too long, because the night in the village is no longer safe. With the continuous loss of high-quality people and the rising unemployment rate, the crime rate in the urban area of Kecun is also rising year by year.

But that's the end of it!

Ouyang Jie stood in front of the main entrance of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra's performance auditorium, his heart surging.

The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the top five orchestras, and the current conductor has conducted the Vienna New Year's Concert several times.

After Ouyang Jie, who had just finished listening to a performance, walked out of the main entrance of the auditorium, his blood was boiling all over his body, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Tonight's performance begins with a single-movement overture, followed by a half-hour concerto, and the second half of the show is Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, the famous Heroes, which was originally titled Napoleon Bonaparte's Grand Symphony, which Beethoven changed to "Heroes" after Napoleon's accession to the throne.

This symphony is a major innovation made by Beethoven, with its emotional exuberance and huge length, especially the first movement, which in Beethoven's time is called the most magnificent and powerful piece of music since the birth of the symphony.

Although the theme and style of the Hero Symphony are not very in line with Ouyang Jie's imagination of superheroes, this does not prevent him from devoting himself to the majestic and wonderful symphony.

At the end of the song, the curtain fell and people dispersed, but the blood was not cold.

The hot blood burned Ouyang Jie's cranial nerves, making him roar in his heart.

Cleveland needs heroes!

Incompetent Cleveland police are not capable of guarding the city!

The whole world knows that the US federal police law enforcement methods are fierce and ferocious, but few people know that the US federal does not have a unified central police agency, there are more than 80 kinds of federal police alone, except for Hawaii, all states have state police officers who obey the governor's orders, and due to the different laws of each state, there are significant differences in the law enforcement methods and supervision agencies of the police in each state.

Many foreigners' impression of the U.S. federal police comes from the NYPD (New York Police Department), LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department), and CPD (Chicago Police Department) in American dramas.

But the reality is not so, Ouyang Jie doesn't know what the NPYD police look like, but he grew up in Cleveland and knows very well what the tall police officers in the Cleveland Police Department are.

Most of the cowards in police uniforms will never put the safety of citizens first, they always use the proliferation of federal guns as an excuse, and they always think of showing their strong force all the time, and shoot without saying a word, as if this can scare off criminals.

Violent law enforcement and racial discrimination have become almost a tradition for the Cleveland Police Department, and they are not so much the righteous knights who defend the safety of the city as they are a group of legally armed thugs who are passionate about violent law enforcement, and at least more than half of the civilian victims who die at the guns of the police in Cleveland each year.

A few years ago, two African-American youths driving a Chevrolet Malibu were chased by the Cleveland Police Department, and in less than 10 seconds after Malibu stopped, 13 police officers involved in the pursuit fired hundreds of bullets, and the two African-American youths in the car died instantly.

Such a vicious violent law enforcement has become the norm in the Cleveland Police Department, and even if it is attacked by one-sided public opinion, the local judge still acquits the white policeman and releases him on the spot!

Before the uproar had subsided, the Cleveland police shot and killed an innocent Chinese elderly man who was peeling fruit with a fruit knife while making rounds in a motel.

Manslaughters like this happened from time to time, until two years later, a 12-year-old African-American teenager was playing with a replica gun in a city park when the police misjudged it to be a real gun and shot him on the spot!

The death of the 12-year-old not only made the toy gun the most boycotted toy in Cleveland and even in Cuyahoga County, but also drew the attention of the United States federal and the world.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a report pointing out that there is a "systematic excessive use of force against civilians" in the Cleveland Police Department, and that the department's top brass tolerates and even supports the "excessive and unnecessary use of lethal weapons."

At this point, the Cleveland police have slightly reined in their habit of violently enforcing the law.

But, there is no use for eggs.

The incompetent Cleveland Police Department can't guard the city's law and order environment, and when Ouyang Jie called them to the police before, they didn't even bother to do a basic investigation!

And the phenomenon of violent law enforcement is not completely eradicated, which is why Luo Jinyu said in the municipal library that day that he should have designed Christopher to be shot dead on the spot, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

That's no joke, as long as the police arrive and let Christopher attack, whether he has a weapon or not, the police will shoot him instantly!

Can such a police officer protect the residents of Cleveland? The answer is obvious.

But it doesn't matter, because Cleveland gave birth to a hero.

Ouyang Jie slowly raised his arms and inhaled deeply, he vaguely felt that there was a glorious and great mission calling him.

From today on, Cleveland will be guarded by him Ouyang Jie!

"To fight crime and protect civilians, it is not enough to have the ability to predict the future, but also to have a certain amount of force, but unfortunately I am a minor and have no stable job, I am not qualified to carry a gun, and I can't buy guns at a regular gun shop, so I can only find a pawnshop or a small shop that is operating illegally."

"But there are no good guns in the shop, and if you want to buy a good gun, you have to go to a gun show, well, I hope Ellie can make money quickly, and it is best to have an upper-class identity, the American Federation is a country that advocates money, as long as Ellie can make enough money, she should be able to get me a hidden gun license in the Cleveland area."

Ellie is short for Ellie Sandra (Luo Jinyu), and concealing a gun license allows Ouyang Jie to legally carry a loaded firearm with him.

Ouyang Jie conceived of a plan to arm himself to become a superhero, completely unaware of a tall man in a hooded sweatshirt standing in the corner staring at him.
