US police: outlaws

Chapter 128 There are no rules.

"Bang bang bang bang"

Lee Ethan easily dodged two bullets aimed at his head, while the remaining bullets all struck the police car, leaving no mark on the glass.

Whether it's his Ford B6 armored car or Evelyn's Mercedes-Benz B7, both can easily defend against light weapons such as automatic rifles, let alone handguns.

The other side wasn't so easy. Four ICE agents were shot in the hands and thighs, crying out in pain. Only the captain, an agent, was not shot in the thigh. He endured the pain in his hands and opened the car door, intending to pull out his automatic rifle and get revenge.

But Li Yisen didn't give his opponent a chance. He shot him in the thigh, then rushed towards him at a speed of 100 meters per second and 72 kilometers per hour, kicking him away and kneeling on his neck before handcuffing him.

The onlookers were both shocked and excited by this scene. In the past few months, only police officers and ICE agents had dealt with people like this. They never expected that the agents would try it today, and that they would be subdued by the local police. It was simply the opposite of what was expected.

Evelyn then approached with a gun, kicking the agent who was trying to retrieve the pistol unconscious.

As Lee and his partner handcuffed the four agents and began treating them with a first-aid kit, a bulletproof Chevrolet suddenly drove in. Fortunately, their backup had already arrived.

The Chevrolet door opened, and two agents armed with submachine guns shouted.

"Lie down right now."

Li Yisen remained unmoved, standing upright and looking at them. He was confident not only in his own abilities but also in his colleagues.

Police cars surrounded the area, and the officers stood behind the car doors, raising their pistols, unsure of which one to aim at.

On one side were ICE agents, and on the other were colleagues in police uniforms, who were also their superiors.

The armed agent, of course, dared not fire. He already knew that some idiots were actually killing people in the street, and now he just wanted to take the person back to his superiors for them to deal with.

"I am an agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and I am requesting your cooperation in apprehending the perpetrator who assaulted a federal public servant."

Lee Esen also shouted loudly.

"I am Ethan Lee, the head of Homicide Unit 3 of the Criminal Investigation Department. I have just subdued a group of criminals who were intent on murder. Are there any patrol officers, Second Sergeant, present? If not, according to the California Emergency Services Act, as the highest-ranking officer on the scene, I will take over command. Does anyone have any objections?"

The surrounding police officers answered loudly.

"We have no objection."

"Indeed, especially under Ethan Lee's command, it's truly an honor for us."

Lee Ethan's record is truly outstanding. He brought down the governor in the Bird case, and many people within the county sheriff's office admire this legendary newcomer.

Lee Esen looked at the special agent squad leader.

"This is Los Angeles. Our county sheriffs have higher priority in law enforcement than you. Put down your gun now, or I can't guarantee your safety."

""

As more and more county police reinforcements arrived, the special agent captain had no choice but to put away his gun and point it at the four people on the ground.

"We're taking our colleagues with us."

"No, they committed intentional homicide and assaulted police officers. The evidence is conclusive, and our county police will take full responsibility."

The special agent captain was furious.

"They are federal agents."

"That's why I didn't kill them; it's already very kind of me. We will give them timely treatment."

As the agent left, the crowd that had gathered around began to applaud. They had never seen such a tough policeman before; no wonder he was a policeman who was often on TV.

Videos of the brief firefight were quickly posted online, and Lee Ethan's reputation soared, reaching 60 social media followers, a number that continues to rise rapidly.

Although they did a good job in public relations, the county police headquarters was having a real headache about it.

In the office of the Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Austin Cole slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"Ethan Lee, are you insane? Arrest four agents."

"They opened fire and killed people, and they even fired at our side first. Shouldn't they be arrested?"

Austin Cole was so anxious that he became incoherent.

"Even killing them would be better than arresting them..."

Lee Esen nodded.

"Chief, next time I'll just shoot him dead."

"You you you"

Austin Cole finally sighed; he wouldn't have wasted his breath arguing with his subordinates if the evidence wasn't irrefutable.

"This has caused trouble for the police department. Although we do have the power to arrest agents for intentional homicide under state law, federal immunity exists, and local police generally do not want to get involved, not to mention the political power of the federal government."

"So I was abandoned?"

"I think you're just being reckless and fearless, taking advantage of your past achievements to act with impunity."

Li Yisen adopted a submissive posture, as if he were being instructed.

"I'll be more careful next time. I can't just let them shoot and kill me."

Austin Cole didn't want to abandon people, either emotionally or in terms of maintaining the county sheriff's office.

Besides admiration, people also value Lee Ethan's reputation. With his help, not only would promotions be faster, but Lee Ethan would also be a great asset in the final step of the election for sheriff (chief inspector).

County sheriffs are elected by popular vote, and there are not only internal candidates, but also external candidates. Personnel from other police agencies and even federal agencies can participate.

This sheriff, Henry Wright, works for the FBI. Unlike Austin Cole, who has spent half his life working for the county sheriff's office, sheriffs don't have much of a sense of belonging to the county sheriff's office.

Just then, Sheriff Henry Wright arrived with someone, who turned out to be an acquaintance of Lee Ethan.

Isaiah Cooper, an ICE executive of squid descent, though it's clear he's been promoted since meeting here.

"This is Isaiah Cooper, the California Department of Detention and Supervision, who was in charge of the Ethan Lee assault case."

Austin Cole frowned as he spoke.

"Sir, the evidence in the case is conclusive, and Detective Ethan has not made any mistakes."

"Is this about whether it's a mistake or not? It's about the impact. Attacking a federal government employee in the street, what do you expect the federal government to think of us Los Angeles County Sheriffs? What do you expect the President to think of us? You know that ICE is highly valued by the President."

Isaiah Cooper, formerly the deputy secretary of the Homeland Security Investigations Bureau, is now the secretary of the Enforcement and Repatriation Operations Bureau.

(ICE has two main departments: Homeland Security Investigations and the Bureau of Law Enforcement and Repatriation Operations. The Detention Administration Department is the most important department of the Bureau of Law Enforcement and Repatriation Operations, and California is one of the most important of the 50 states in America.)

Isaiah Cooper, the squid-man, squinted at the young man in front of him. He had been bothered by the same person once in Clermont City, and now he had run into him again.

"Officer Ethan, we meet again. You're still as reckless as ever. You're the first local police officer to injure four federal police officers in one go."

"Mr. Cooper's men are truly unscrupulous, killing people in the street and attacking police in broad daylight. The whole country is talking about how lawless your ICE is. Even with Mr. General Coordinator protecting you, you must be under a lot of pressure."

Isaiah Cooper's expression froze. Sure enough, arguing between people of high and low status is always a disadvantage, regardless of who wins or loses.

"Hmph, Henry, I'll leave the rest to you."

"no problem."

As Isaiah Cooper left, he leaned close to Lee Ethan's ear and whispered something.

"You have no idea how foolish you've been. Dealing with you is as easy as crushing an insect for us. How could a mere ant dare to defy the heavens?"

Lee Esen didn't care.

"That's really scary. Even if I didn't become a policeman, I could still be a comfortable billionaire. I have a gold mine to dig out. Do you have one?"

Isaiah Cooper's expression froze again. Damn lucky guy, he got land worth millions and turned it into hundreds of times more.

After the outsiders left, Sheriff Henry Wright looked at Austin Cole.

"Ethan Lee is on paid leave for now. I'm not saying he did anything wrong, but this is to give an account to the federal government, and the case of the agent killing is also handed back to ICE."

"No, sir, what will others think of our county police if you do this?"

"I am the sheriff, and I make the decisions."

Henry Wright came quickly and left quickly.

Austin Cole sighed.

"Ethan, you should be prepared to go back to being a rich man. If Henry weren't worried about the impact, he'd be on a long paid vacation."

"Chief, I understand. When I saw those ICE bastards open fire, I knew I was in trouble."

Since those people are targeting us so aggressively and acting so unreasonably, let's fight to the death.

When Lee Ethan left the office, there were already acquaintances waiting outside.

The third group also includes Kaia Anderson.

"I'm on paid leave, don't make that face."

Evelyn's eyes were red with anger.

"I was involved too."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, I'll be back."

An innocent person was shot and killed by ICE, the heroic police officer who stopped the crime was suspended, the ICE officer who committed the crime received criminal immunity and got away with it, and even with video evidence, the police still claimed that the deceased was an armed man.

California finally saw a massive march, with over 10 people participating and their slogans being quite audacious.

"Abolish ICE!"

"No ICE! No KKK! No fascist America!"

"ICE, get out of Los Angeles!"

"ICE is the general Gestapo!"

The massive protests were met with a crackdown by the new governor, who is former Lieutenant Governor Iris Perry, and who will assume the position with more than two years remaining in her term.

As a member of the Congratulatory Party, she certainly wouldn't oppose the general consensus, but of course, she wouldn't dare to directly call in the National Guard to provoke a conflict.

Three days later, just as the wave of protests had stopped growing, the Revitalization Association, which had been quiet for more than half a month, spoke up. It should be noted that during these two weeks, the federal and even state governments had been doing everything they could to find its whereabouts, but unfortunately, there was still no clue.

With advanced computer technology and weaponry, the federal government is even more certain that the revitalization effort is related to the military.

The spokesperson in the video is still named Zero.

"The Revitalization Association has been paying attention to the situation in Los Angeles. We stand with the people, not with those radicals who point guns at innocent people. The federal government has problems, and we will take action."
