Chapter 583, Puzzle
Not only did Winston have problems with Frank, but so did Brooklyn. The law is the bottom line of social morality, a guarantee, not the highest point.
There are objective reasons why the law always lags behind the development of society. Brooklyn was quick to pick out a dozen inappropriate places in existing federal law, and he could even suggest changes that were more socially appropriate.
But he didn't dare to revise it so recklessly. Every federal law needs to be proposed, debated, voted on carefully, and considered – even though this established procedure has been manipulated as a means of political assault and political bargaining – is also a lag of the times.
But there is a reason for this lag, which reflects the prudence of the federal approach to the law. There are growing voices in the federation calling for the government to introduce a ban on abortion, for a gun control law, and for a law to legalize D products.
These are also a manifestation of progress, changes that keep up with the pace of the times, but whether this change is good or bad will take time to observe.
On the other hand, there are always various voices among the people, and there will also be various views in the legal circles, some radical and some conservative...... There's everything.
But the government can't do what they want it to do. Whether radical or conservative, no matter how morally appropriate the voice of the people sounds, it is essentially a means to stand on the side of one side and make profits for one side.
However, the state is not one party, and the state needs to stand on an objective standpoint and ensure that both sides receive the protection they deserve.
The simplest example, the murderer pays for his life, which is a simple value that applies everywhere, and those who abduct women and children deserve to die, which is completely in line with the requirements of moral standards in any corner of the world.
Theoretically, there is no problem with either of these. But that's just theory. The homicide's compensation is based on objective facts, that is, the premise that the defendant killed the victim.
What if there are clues in the investigation that are overlooked? What if the investigator took a bribe? What if the defendant was tortured?
Any of the above situations will create a situation in which the public subjectively believes that the defendant killed the victim and insists that what they know is an objective fact.
Except for the defendant and the real murderer, no one knows that the defendant is objectively innocent. Is it really right to practice that set of simple values that can be applied everywhere?
The defendant was unjustly killed by everyone, and everyone applauded and praised him, believing that justice had been served, and that the moral concepts of society were still within the scope of their familiarity, so everyone went home with peace of mind.
The murderer was also very happy, followed by clapping and praising and getting away with it. No one knows that the defendant was wronged except for the murderer.
The death penalty is one of the most severe punishments, and every law enforcer should be cautious when facing such punishments.
Because once the death penalty is wrong, it really can't be remedied. Brooklyn was not opposed to the death penalty, but having gone through so many of them, especially the fact that he had sent them in by his own hands, gave him a whole new understanding of the law.
This perception led her to see many of the shortcomings under the current legal provisions. But there was nothing he could do to change it.
Just as the simple value of killing a murderer may be challenging, it is still a correct value.
There are countless people who can realize the inadequacy of the murderer's life, but from the advent of the law to the present, people have not been able to complete it and make it perfect and seamless.
This is a frustrating fact. Therefore, the laws of a country should not only take into account the demands of the majority and conform to universal values, but also take into account the special circumstances of the minority and provide basic protection for the minority.
This requires the state to be cautious when setting up laws or amending laws, even if it is just a word or a broken sentence, and to fully consider that the words used do not have any guidance or implication, do not have tendencies, and are completely neutral, and ensure that all special circumstances are fully considered and do not infringe on the rights and interests of all groups.
But this is obviously impossible. As a result, each country supplements the eucalyptus every year, 'patching' the areas where problems are found, and hoping to minimize the holes.
If a state is still functioning healthily, it is inevitable that the state will not be able to make a large-scale revision of the laws that have been formed at once.
That's the challenge for Brooklyn. The special 'structure' of the federation determines that Washington has the power to 'direct' the localities.
He was worried about what New York would do if the shitty piece of shit that was being discussed in Washington was actually passed.
The political struggle in Washington is becoming more and more serious, and in order to achieve their goals, these politicians will do everything they can, and amending the law is simply a piece of cake and a breeze.
Amending the law is not the goal, but attacking opponents, attacking political opponents, snatching voters, and framing and framing opponents through the process of amending laws is the fundamental goal.
If you can make a profit for yourself by the way. That's even better. - Yes, the struggle in Washington is now so fierce that it needs to be on the back of the queue for its own profit.
In such an environment, the law designated can be known with the toes of the toes, and it is impossible to think it through.
Since the establishment of the Confederation, capital has been constantly amending the law in coalition members to make profits for themselves. But for so many years, this behavior has been done in secret, and they have done so carefully that it can take years of effort for a word, or even just a sentence.
It's good now. The laws discussed by the government now are not to revise a certain word or a certain sentence, but to directly repeal the entire law and challenge the bottom line of social morality.
For the sake of voters, for the sake of support, in order to attack political opponents, in order to attack opponents, politicians are completely shameless.
Voters are calling for guns? To give! Voters demand a ban on abortion? Prohibit! Voters are demanding the legalization of D-goods? This is easy to do, the government personally procures the equipment for smoking D products, and opens stores that smoke and sell D products, so as to provide the majority of voters with peace of mind and peace of mind regular D products.
Ensure regular channels, factory direct sales, and no middlemen to make the difference. Not only that, but the government has also thoughtfully compiled a guidebook to ensure that every voter who has never been before can get started with success at the first time, and will never stop and become self-reliant!
In order to alleviate the nervousness of some voters who are afraid of D-products and still have 'misconceptions', the government has specially prepared nurses and first-aid facilities to ensure that voters can receive the professional treatment they deserve after overdose.
Although these laws have not yet passed, the wind has been heard in Brooklyn. In his opinion, it was a complete mess, a fantasy, and it was really going to come true!
mcU doesn't dare to act like this! How can this make a person who has been sentenced to hundreds of years embarrassed? How can the countless police officers who have died in the line of duty be embarrassed?
How can countless film and television plots that promote the ban on D be embarrassing? Do you want to release all the d-owls and compensate them?
Is it to revoke the honor of those policemen who died in the line of duty, and by the way, to abolish the entire anti-D bureau?
Is it necessary to classify film and television dramas and other works of art that promote the prohibition of D as unhealthy works? After all, what they promote is contrary to what the state propagandizes.
Brooklyn is even terrified of this. His fear is not that the government will make a choice that is completely contrary to universal values, but that it has not taken it into account when making such a choice.
"Think about it, the big M restaurant on the street in New York, the bar sells ice d's and hero's Y, they may be a few dollars more expensive than the old sign, but they are still the most popular drinks."
"The supermarket is full of delicious drinks and drinks...... All of New York was in high spirits. Think about it. Brooklyn slapped the table with some excitement, his voice distorted because he was so emotional.
Frank pouted
"Who is still x Heroy and Bing d now." Frank doesn't actually have much to say, he's the director of the NYpd, not the director of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
However, Frank knows at least more about D-products than Brooklyn and Winston. According to Frank's explanation, the 'popular' D product is no longer a natural D product like Big M, and the most 'popular' product is the chemical D product.
Purely synthetic compounds, fast effect, strong effect, huge destructive force to health, to ensure a second of cool, and then always cool, no worries.
"And it can't be forbidden." Frank said
"There's a veterinarian-specific anesthetic called xylazine, which is used to anesthetize large animals, and people are already sucking it."
"Can you imagine?"
"They can dig up everyday objects from anywhere you can't imagine, and we can't stop it." Xylazine is a veterinary drug used to sedate, anesthetize, induce vomiting, muscle relaxation, and analgesia in non-human mammals such as horses, cattle, and other mammals.
It's hard to imagine the psychology of the first person to try to smoke it.
"And xylazine works quickly, the drug is so powerful that inexperienced addicts can die in one go. The most important thing is that the anesthetic and sedative effect of xylazine is extremely strong, and the smoker is like a zombie, he can't call for help if he wants to, and the muscle relaxation makes him unable to control his body at all, and can only wait for death while he is conscious. Frank said.
"So, instead of letting them go around trying out a D-product that is stronger and cheaper than the existing known D-product, it is better to give them a place to commit suicide slowly under government supervision."
"So sucking should be legalized?" Brooklyn asked. Frank shook his head, licked his fingers, took the tissue and wiped it
"They're hopeless...... Well, that's your business, we're just the executors, and we'll do what you say. Brooklyn turned his face to Winston as if he hadn't heard the displeasure in Frank's words.
"But we can't help it." Winston Road
"I've gotten more accurate information than yours, Brooklyn, and the situation may be worse than you think." Brooklyn's gaze swept over the two of them, and he said suddenly
"What are we working so hard to take New York for? What's the point? "Brooklyn will do whatever it takes, and when he is cornered, he will also break the boat, seize any opportunity, use any strength.
But now he is not in a desperate situation. Rather, someone is going to 'invade' the home he has managed to take.
Mexico and Canada, a country like Canada and N where there is a flood of D products, have not talked about the legalization of D products, and the federation is ready to set a precedent?
Compared to this problem, any gender issue, any affirmative action movement, is simply not a problem. How powerful is the D-product?
Just look at the other side of the ocean 179 years ago. ………… After the problem is raised, a way should be found to solve the problem.
Winston's sharpening of his knives and the solution to the education reform law were rejected by Brooklyn and Frank.
They praised Winston's approach, but the education reform law was so sensational that it was even compared to the legalization of Grade D proposed by Brooklyn.
Brooklyn and Frank agree that City Hall doesn't need a plan as effective as the Education Reform Act right now.
In this regard, Winston's disappointment was visible to the naked eye. Brooklyn twitched, wondering why Winston was so obsessed with education reform.
"We can't take it all at once, but we can choose a few of them." Brooklyn's words made Winston's eyes light up.
"I don't know why you're obsessed with education reform, but it doesn't matter."
"First come up with a few items to implement, you can effectively build a reputation, and by the way, you can also test the outside world's reaction to the education reform, and adjust the plan according to the feedback." Winston nodded again and again, and hurriedly made a decision on the coffin, for fear that the two would regret it and ask other questions such as other shortcomings.
The three then discussed the issue of NYpd. The issue of NYpd must be taken seriously.
It's a question of how much control they have over New York. Losing NYpd, they are like tigers without claws.
The three of them discussed, but there was no good way for a while. Brooklyn suggested
"There can be a threshold for complaints. In fact, the essence of NYpd lies in people, but we can't solve people, we can only solve the output problem. ”
"Setting a threshold for complaints, so that false complaints go from no cost to cost, should be able to greatly reduce the number of complaints."
"For example, once a formal complaint is not true, the complainant will be held accountable." Frank waved his hand
"Do you think we don't have this system now? It's useless at all. Reducing the number of complaints is as simple as reverting to the previous state. Previously, the NYpd received less than 100 complaints a month. ”
"Screen out a person with frequent complaints, investigate him, and then set a model." Winston Road
"After the evidence is conclusive, a press conference will be held to bring the police officer who has been complained about to the scene, and the ins and outs of the case will be told to the media."
"Hear me out first," Winston said when Frank retorted
"I know you have concerns, at the press conference, you can announce that you will not be held accountable, and implore the public not to obstruct the police in carrying out their official duties, abuse police resources, etc., and put the responsibility on them first."
"When public opinion ferments, especially after the tragedy caused by the waste of police resources really occurs, it will naturally be reined in."
