The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 122: Small Meeting

There are many records about this riot on TT and various online platforms.

Everyone knew about Jim's dismissal and the protesters who stormed the LAPD.

At this point, the comments were almost one-sided.

"Well done, Los Angeles people! You are the real men of America! I admit that I used to dislike those leftists in California, but now, I apologize to you! You did what I always wanted to do but didn't dare to do!"

"LAPD is still trustworthy. Except for that damn chief, no police officer shot them. California is indeed a democratic country."

However, they may not know that everything that happened today was carefully arranged by someone.

Let’s put aside the matter of the man behind the scenes for now and talk about the California Senate.

At this time, in a villa, the Speaker of the California Senate held a banquet.

It was called a banquet, but in fact it was just a small meeting.

As for why it is not held in the Senate, it is because many people here are actually not suitable to hold meetings in the Senate.

That place is not for discussing things, but for voting.

The speaker turned off the projection and looked at the people sitting here: "So, tell me, gentlemen, how should we deal with this matter now. In other words, what should the LAPD do?"

Also attending the meeting was an old acquaintance, former LAPD Chief Hansen who has already resigned.

Hearing this question, everyone looked at Hansen.

To be honest, Hansen didn't expect the matter to turn out like this, and he didn't expect that he would be invited to attend this meeting.

When LAPD was mentioned at this time, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Jim was really lucky, no, it should be said that he met a real idiot.

Hansen believed that if it weren't for that idiot Thomson, Jim would definitely not have the opportunity he has now.

The only thing Hansen didn't understand was why Jim's performance this time was so different from his previous style. He didn't seem like the grumpy policeman, but more like a mature politician.

Hansen took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, I believe you all know that too many things have happened in Los Angeles in the past few months, so many that it is a little difficult for the public to trust the LAPD, right?"

"I can tell you responsibly that the LAPD has been trying to change, but think about what happened recently. A madman killed a drug dealer and burned contraband twice! No traces were left, and the LAPD lost about one-third of its manpower. Then a group of madmen robbed a bank, and there was still no surveillance. God help them."

Then, a mysterious assassin killed the mayor, and some unknown guy dug up Green Lawn Cemetery."

"The commonality here is that there is no surveillance, and the LAPD is understaffed. They are doing one thing after another. Oh, and there are those damn parades. The parades here in two months are almost as many as the six months in the past. So, it's not that we can't investigate anything, but we have no one to do it."

"The public's suspicion of the LAPD has reached its peak, and then this lab incident happened. Although all the firepower is now on the LAPD and on that bastard Thompson, what will be the consequences?"

Hansen looked at everyone and said slowly: "LAPD is a shield to protect the dignity of the law, and it is also the sharpest spear. If LAPD really collapses, everyone, do you expect the Los Angeles gangs to help you protect your assets and personal safety? Or do you want the FBI to come? Or the state police to come?"

"So, Hansen, what exactly are you going to say?"

"It's time to stop, everyone. Can we change the hotspot? LAPD is on the verge of collapse. Jim's appearance at this time is a gift from God. Yes, he is my friend, but now, I am glad that I am his friend. As long as he is in charge of LAPD, the public will be willing to trust LAPD, and this is the most important thing!"

"There is a good policeman in the LAPD, a policeman who is loved by them. Only in this way, those criminals will not dare to commit crimes in the rich areas!" "I don't care what the damn laboratory is like. I only know that if the LAPD is used to block the knife again, Los Angeles will fall into complete chaos."

A group of people looked at each other, and the Speaker asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone nodded slightly.

"Very good. Let's do it." The speaker looked towards the City Hall. "Have the City Hall draft a letter of appointment, and then submit it to the Commission of Directors for review. Have them write a letter of recommendation, and send the document to the Senate for a vote tomorrow. Then tell those guys that if they want to continue to live a life of luxury in Los Angeles, they should put aside their party affiliations and pass this document."

"Understood Mr. Speaker."

But some people have raised doubts: "But, Jim seems to have a good relationship with the FBI, what if he wants to continue investigating the laboratory?"

The Speaker looked at Hansen.

Hansen snorted, "What should we do? Let's cut ties quickly. If this matter has nothing to do with you, but is related to other states, other interest groups, or even the East Coast, then let them worry about it! Do you want to use your own property to take the blame for them? Unfortunately, at least I don't want to, so... Let's give them a shot of prevention and let them figure it out themselves, whether it's letting the relevant witnesses commit suicide or throwing out a scapegoat. Anyway, we won't play with them anymore."

"Whether you want to help your party share the firepower, or continue to live a carefree and happy life in Los Angeles, it's up to you to choose. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just an old man who resigned."

Everyone was silent.

The speaker nodded slightly and waved his hand.

The person next to him took out his cell phone and sent a message.

After this information was released, major mainstream media published articles almost at the same time.

The titles are probably "A sudden riot, a perfect handling, LAPD is better than we thought"

Yes, it's all praise and compliments.

The Speaker continued; "Then it's Thomson's business."

"Bring him to justice." Hansen spoke directly.

A guy sitting there suddenly said, "But his name is, Thompson Chris, Hansen, do you know what this last name means?"

"Of course, the core of the major parties, members of Congress, and important positions in Washington." Hansen spread his hands: "Do you have a better idea?"

"Treat it coldly."

"Impossible. This is unacceptable. The guys who participated in the riot don't want him alive. They will be in danger if he is still alive. We must give an explanation."

"Thomson didn't do anything wrong, did he? He just made some minor mistakes." Someone nearby suddenly said, "Given his status, should we send him to the federal court? Let him leave Los Angeles, and the rest will be much easier. At least, Los Angeles and California shouldn't have to take on this trouble."

Hansen didn't say anything, just curled his lips. This is what a politician with a family is like.

But Hansen knew very well that he couldn't change anything, so he didn't say anything.

He was just a little curious about how Jim knew about Thomson's cover-up, and he also knew that he would definitely be sent out of California.

Damn, lost another hundred dollars.
