The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 463: Hawke has the final say on whether San Francisco is in chaos or not

San Francisco Police Department, in the chief's office.

The air seemed to be stagnant. Several deputy police inspectors kept their lips tightly shut, not wanting to say a word for fear that the female chief would bring the flames upon themselves.

Scott sat on the sofa, his eyebrows twisted into knots, unable to figure it out for a moment.

The media had evidence in their hands, so why didn't they release it earlier? Did they wait until after the SFPD press conference to release it, just to slap the SFPD in the face?

From where he was, he couldn't see some of the things above.

The female director Heather looked extremely unhappy and asked Scott: "What's the situation now? Don't hide it. I want to know the real reaction of the media."

Scott calmed down a bit and said, "The video of the scene was first disclosed by Twitter. Judging from the angle, it should have been filmed covertly. We went to the scene to investigate..."

Heather raised her hand to interrupt him: "Media."

An Asian female director who was able to climb up from the bottom, although she had the support of a female boxer, her own abilities are much stronger than the inexperienced female boxer director directly appointed from Los Angeles.

Heather knew that it didn't matter how the video was shot.

Because a storm is brewing.

Scott quickly said, "After the tweet, the five major TV news networks all reported on it. Websites like Yahoo, Google, and AOL were also reposting it crazily. The editors-in-chief of the three major newspapers in the United States are paying attention to this incident and have all sent news teams to San Francisco."

Heather asked, "So the news can't be suppressed?"

From the moment the Twitter report was published, it was impossible to suppress the incident. Scott could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, we can't suppress it."

Heather glanced at Scott and resisted the urge to remove him. Now they needed to deal with the media, and no one was more suitable than him to be thrown to the front to accept the bombardment of media reporters.

A deputy police inspector said at this time: "The key now is what should we do next? Our report is completely opposite to the content of the video."

With the exposure of the on-site video, the reputation and credibility of the SFPD have been severely damaged.

If it is not handled properly afterwards, it will cause widespread doubts.

Although no one really cares about the life and death of the low-level black people, there is no guarantee that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Scott didn't want to take the blame, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Heather looked around and saw that the others seemed to be non-stick and didn't say anything constructive.

She thought for a while and said to Scott, "You should go talk to those two police officers face to face and make sure they tell the same story. They lied during the internal investigation and deceived their superiors."

At this point, it is impossible to protect the two police officers.

Heather said: "Tell them that if they take responsibility for this, the SFPD will not treat them unfairly in the future."

All Scott could say was, "I'll see them right away."

After he left, Heather looked at everyone in the office and said, "Everyone, the SFPD is facing an extremely serious situation right now. I hope we can maintain unity and deal with the crisis together."

Like the LAPD, the interior of the SFPD is like a sieve.

The meeting ended and everyone left.

Heather never pinned her hopes on them, so she immediately went out, got in her car, and headed straight for City Hall.

To be appointed as the police chief by Gavin Bullson, she not only knows how to box, but also has basic political sense.

The two sides were not far apart, and more than ten minutes later, Heather entered the mayor's office.

Gavin had already received relevant reports and asked directly: "Why is there a live video?"

"We are investigating." Heather told Gavin the whole story.

As a politician, Gavin immediately sensed something unusual and asked emphatically, "The first media outlet to report this was Twitter? Hawke Osment's Twitter?"

Heather gave a positive answer: "Yes, the first online media to report it was Twitter, and the first TV station to report it was Fox 11."

Combining everything Heather said, it was not difficult for Gavin to come to a conclusion: "Someone is behind this! They are targeting us!"

Heather thought the same thing: "We need a complete response strategy."

Gavin picked up the phone and called his assistant: "Gather the staff team and have a meeting in Conference Room 1 in half an hour."

He is a qualified politician, but he is not good at dealing with crisis events like this.

Gavin sat in front of his desk, frowning and thinking: the opponent's counterattack came so quickly, the Schwarzenegger couple's storm has not yet subsided, and the situation in San Francisco has already occurred.

Philip's incident has damaged the reputation and credibility of the San Francisco Police Department. Chief Heather was nominated and appointed by him, which will inevitably have a series of negative impacts on him.

Gavin did not consider the social movement level for the time being, but instead focused his attention on Heather. If necessary, he would put pressure on Heather to resign and take the blame.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the assistant came in and said, "Mayor, there is a large crowd gathered in front of the Municipal Square."

Gavin stood up and left, following his assistant out. At this sensitive moment, it was easy for a mass incident to break out.

As he walked, he said to Heather who had caught up with him, "Mobilize the blast police immediately."

Heather pulled out her cell phone and made a call.

Gavin came to a platform window of the City Hall facing the square and found that many people were gathering on the lawn square in front and on the roadside behind the lawn.

Some of them were dressed in brightly coloured clothes, looking neither male nor female.

Gavin thought of something and asked Heather who followed him: "Is the dead Philip a..."

He wanted to say freak, but stopped himself: "A queer one?"

Heather elaborated: "Philip is a bisexual, a transvestite, a transgender person... not a complete one."

The current mayor of San Francisco does not realize how much trouble this layer upon layer of problems will cause.

Heather continued, "I'm investigating for the riot police to come over in case they cause any trouble."

As they were talking, someone climbed up the tall sculpture in the center of the lawn square, took out the flag from his bag, pulled out the retractable flagpole, and hung the flag.

A flag flutters high in the wind.

On the flag is a bust of a person, with a man's head and a woman's plump breasts.

This is Philip!
There is a line of words below the portrait - I can't breathe!
Bus after bus drove in from all directions and stopped in front of the Town Hall Square.

More and more people got out of the cars, and the crowd gathered together, holding up a huge portrait of Philip.

There is another line of words written on this portrait - the lives of marginalized people are also lives!
The number of protesters continues to grow.

This time, there was no need to pay any money, and marginalized people from all over San Francisco were mobilized.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense can realize one thing: the one who died now was Philip, and the next one to die might be themselves.

These people looked excited and shouted protest slogans loudly.

Just one street away, a fleet of buses were also heading over.

On one of the buses, Fiona picked up the onboard loudspeaker and spoke to the women in each bus via the radio.

"Sisters, our mortal enemies, those perverts who have been fighting for our rights, are besieging the San Francisco City Hall that supports us. Those bastards without a uterus want to share the benefits that belong to us, but they don't have a uterus and have never experienced the pain of bleeding every month, but they want to fight for our things. Why?"

The woman in the car yelled, "Those disgusting freaks are not women! Not women!"

Fiona continued: "From Los Angeles to San Francisco, the Matthewsing Society has been violating our legal rights. If we can't suppress these shameless freaks and perverts, they will ride on our heads. We will never allow this to happen!"

The bus convoy stopped on the street in front of the town square, and at Fiona's command, many women got off the bus.

Each vehicle was equipped with a captain and a deputy captain. Under their coordination, hundreds of women formed a huge formation.

But it is very difficult to get a group of women to obey orders.

Every woman has dozens of little calculations in her mind.

Fiona could only barely command these people to attack where the LGBT community was.

As always with conflict, reporters arrive faster than the police.

Especially as the news spread further, the media industry could see that a huge storm of public opinion had arrived.

They all want a share of the pie.

During the sister parade, a Mexican woman from Los Angeles snatched a rainbow flag and a portrait of Philip, threw them on the ground and stomped on them.

Another woman unscrewed the lid of the water bottle in her hand and threw it into the place where the monsters and demons gathered.

The Mexican woman moved quickly. After she finished, she turned around and dived into the crowd.

The sorority members who followed behind were all the most radical group, and they all rushed forward at this time.

The two sides have been enemies for a long time, and in the past year and a half, there have been dozens of direct conflicts.

At this moment, the female fighters took the lead and stepped on the portrait of Philip, which aroused the sympathy of LGBT people, as if they were stepping on the tiger's tail.

A woman in the crowd shouted, "They don't want us to breathe!"

And an outsized voice: "LGBT lives matter, for Philip!"

These words reached everyone's heart, and a chaotic response rang out.

“LGBT lives matter!”

"For Philip!"

“I can’t breathe!”

The group dressed in colorful clothes rushed forward first.

A big black man wearing a prosthetic breast pushed away a white female fist.

The other person yelled: "I am a woman..."

Big Black shook his chest and said, "I am a woman too."

He could still become a man if necessary.

The two sides had new and old hatreds, and the protest quickly turned into a riot. Hundreds of pictures of Philip were snatched away by female fighters, thrown on the ground and trampled. Some reporters with ulterior motives specially used cameras to record these scenes.

Women’s rights and the LGBT community must become enemies to the death.

This riot was more serious than any previous one, and the entire square in front of the town hall fell into chaos.

Some people also lit fireworks, causing thick smoke at the scene.

The SFPD's riot police arrived at this time, but the scene was completely out of control. After asking for instructions, the leading officer used tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Female boxers are best at talking nonsense, but when it comes to physical conflicts, their fighting effectiveness is not worth mentioning.

The LGBT community was in high spirits today, shouting various slogans protesting the SFPD's violent law enforcement and those related to Philip, and attacking the human wall of riot police.

The riot police were not polite and arrested dozens of people using a package of riot shields and rubber batons.

But the LGBT became increasingly irritated and began a long standoff with the SFPD.

The TV broadcast vehicle from Fox News San Francisco branch drove directly here.

Betty and others from the Butterfly Company had already booked a room in a nearby hotel and set up the camera for live broadcast.

Twitter provided live video and text coverage of this fight for "justice."

On Twitter alone, millions of people across the United States entered the live broadcast room to watch.

In the conference room of San Francisco City Hall, Gavin Newson held an emergency meeting and passed a unanimous decision to fire two white police officers from the SFPD. The District Attorney's Office, led by Kamala Harris, launched an investigation and issued an arrest warrant to calm the restless public opinion.

Heather hopes the two white police officers can be treated in a gentler manner.

But the politicians high up in the sky don’t care about the low-level government employees at all.

Some people contact the media, some are responsible for communicating with social groups, and some are responsible for bribing the leaders of the protesters.

…………

Coast Building, Los Angeles.

Hawke sat in his office, watching the live broadcast on the newly installed large screen.

Caroline and Edward were there.

The two of them sat on the sofa, watching everything happening on the screen, somewhat dazed.

Edward suddenly said, "I remember the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That was the scene."

He shook his head. "The protest by the Matthewsing Society in San Francisco eventually turned into a riot. I hope everyone who went to Compton is safe."

Caroline, the lamb, did not have as much sympathy as Edward, mainly because none of the people sent there were her acquaintances.

She slapped her face, tense as a sheep. "This is not a riot. It is the SFPD's crazy violent suppression of marginalized people in order to cover up the truth! The San Francisco authorities are cold-blooded and have no mercy!"

Hawke looked at Caroline and said, "Very good, you will write this manuscript."

At the critical moment, Yangtuizi rushed forward, and Caroline responded immediately: "Leave it to me!"

There was a knock on the office door from outside, and assistant Lucart came in with Brian.

Brian turned his head to look at the live video on the big screen, walked over quickly, sat next to Hawke, and said, "San Francisco is finally in chaos."

Hawke used a famous quote: "Whether San Francisco is chaotic or not, the devils have the final say."

Brian laughed and changed his words slightly: "Whether San Francisco is in chaos or not, Hawke has the final say."

Hawke returned to the point and asked Brian: "You know more about those traditional politicians in San Francisco than I do. How will they deal with it next?"

Bryan pointed to the riot police who were violently suppressing LGBT people in the video: "They have made their choice and they should respond strongly."

He comes from a family of politicians and thinks from a traditional perspective: "Jerry Brown is only slightly younger than my grandfather and is almost a contemporary of him. Gavin Bullson lacks experience in dealing with such incidents and will certainly seek advice from Jerry Brown. However, Jerry Brown is a traditional politician, so I guess he may take two steps."

Hawke really didn't know as much as Brian in this area, so he just listened carefully.

Bryan said: "First, deal with the police officers and calm public opinion. If that doesn't work, let the chief of the San Francisco Police Department resign and give the public an explanation. At the same time, use strong means to suppress protests and riots. San Francisco has used violence to deal with homosexuals and queer people in the past, and it has been very effective. This will make older and relatively conservative people develop path dependence."

Hawke looked at the chaotic scene in the video and said: "The video shows that of the two white police officers, Eddie did nothing and even performed first aid on Philip."

He said to Edward, "Notify San Francisco and see if you can interview Eddie through the media."

Edward took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call.

Hawke looked at Brian and said, "The flame has been lit. How far it can burn depends on how much fuel we can add."

Brian said: "When the time is right, I will appear in person, and the Ferguson family has also contacted allies."

“Call again,” Hawke emphasized, “Our cause is just.”

Brian responded, "I'll go now."

The people in the office started to get busy.

Hawke made several calls in a row while his side prepared to launch.

Saint Steve Nutter convened a meeting of the core members of the National Association for the Advocate of Colored People and decided to mobilize people as soon as possible to take to the streets of Los Angeles to support the Matthew Syndicate and Philip.

The rights protection association's branches established in major cities across the United States began to gather people, waiting for instructions from headquarters to launch protest marches.

In Washington, Twitter's public relations director Hearst walked into the White House and exchanged views with Chief of Staff Andy Card on Philip. He then went to Capitol Hill and met with Whip Tom Emmer and had dinner with Johnny McCain that day.

The ability of this group of people to stir up trouble has become apparent in the past year.

Tom Emmerich and Johnny McCain, both Imagination Party general election candidates, started paving the way early.

At the same time, after a period of violent dispersal, the SFPD finally controlled the situation in front of San Francisco City Hall, and several members of the Matteisin Society were arrested by riot police.

San Francisco police officers immediately convened a press conference to issue the latest announcement.

In accordance with the requirements of his superiors, Scott announced that Eddie and Williams lied about Philip's death, and the district attorney's office has officially filed a case and launched an investigation into the two.

There was no question-and-answer session at the press conference, but public opinion was overwhelming and reporters' spontaneous questions almost drowned out Scott.

Just holding two police officers accountable for the incident is far from enough to calm public opinion.

In his villa in the northern Bay Area of ​​San Francisco, Jerry Brown had already read all the news reports about the incident, as well as first-hand information from the SFPD.

People become more conservative as they get older, and there are also conservatives among the Donor Party.

Jerry Brown is one of them. When he was the governor of California in the 1970s and 1980s, there were several incidents of homosexuals being attacked and killed in San Francisco.

He didn't care about these marginalized people. When facing Gavin Niu Sen who came to seek advice, he said: "These people are all scum and parasites of society. Once they are allowed to act, social atmosphere will deteriorate rapidly. The conflict in the afternoon was caused by their attack on the municipal department. They also took the initiative to provoke the police."

Gavin was still a little worried: "The Ferguson family is obviously behind this matter."

Jerry Brown said: "Because of this, we must deal with it decisively and calm the incident as quickly as possible to prevent the other side from causing greater chaos."

He advised: "Have your police chief resign, find the right crime, and summon the leaders of the Matthewsing Association. Take the opportunity to divide them. As long as they can't stick together, it will be difficult for them to form a new group."

Gavin nodded and said, "I'll take care of it right away."

He left the old villa and went straight to the San Francisco Police Department, but when he asked Heather to resign, Heather hesitated.

Once this blame is taken, it means the end of one's political career.

Heather couldn't make up her mind for a moment: "I need to think about it."

Gavin said, “After you leave office, you can go work for Fat Jack Group.”

This is the Newsom family's industrial company. It is actually not very large, with wine, restaurants and hotels as its main businesses. It currently has a market value of around US$1 billion.

Heather knew very well that if she didn't resign voluntarily, she might be fired: "Give me a day, I need to prepare."

Gavin knew very well that as the police chief, there must be some secrets that Heather needed time to deal with, so he immediately responded, "Okay."

As the two men conferred, Twitter struck again.

Instead of attacking the San Francisco Police Department, Caroline wrote Philip's life story based on real information, focusing on Philip's relationship with his family.

Born at the bottom of society, his father died of drug abuse, his mother is old and frail, and his sister suffers from congenital heart disease. All the pressure of life falls on Philip. Philip has not received a good education, and the so-called skills training led by the government is just an empty shell. In order to earn the high medical expenses for his sister, he chooses to change his gender and work as a bartender.

"This is a truly good man. He was born in the most chaotic and low-income community, but he retained his innocence and kindness. He had no criminal record and helped his sister save up money for surgery. However, such a person was ostracized by mainstream society and eventually died at the hands of the SFPD's violent law enforcement. It was a tragedy!"

Compared to Hawke's previous life, Philip can be called a saint among the lower-class black people.

His resume is worthy of anyone's inspection.

As soon as this report came out, the Philip incident continued to escalate.

The media completely put aside their prejudices against Philip's strange gender and stood on his side.

From TV stations to newspapers to the Internet, almost all the voices are in support of Philip.

In San Francisco, Rosa and Sora received a notice from Edward and hid in advance.

But they kept in touch with their subordinates by phone.

Lawrence, chairman of the Matthew Syndicate, came to San Francisco in person to preside over the work here.

Minority groups across San Francisco are connected together.

San Francisco Police Chief Heather announced her resignation at this time, which briefly paused the energy of the storm.

But the subsequent announcement issued by the city hall completely intensified the conflict.

San Francisco City Hall characterized the conflict that took place in City Square as a socially destructive riot!

That afternoon, tens of thousands of San Franciscans took to the streets to express their indignation.

The marchers were not only from the LGBT community, but also many normal people joined in.

Almost at the same time, many major cities including Los Angeles, New York, Washington and Chicago all saw large-scale marches and protests in support of San Francisco.

For Philip and I Can't Breathe Movement, all over America! (End of Chapter)
