Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 555

Today is the third day of the parade, and the crew has been suspended for three days. Luo Quan has been paying attention to the news, the effect and progress of the parade.

It's not that she cares much about the people's livelihood in the United States. The main reason is that the effect of the parade is related to the date of the start of work.

Originally, according to various media reports, the parade has received considerable attention, and the government has decided to put pressure on it.

It can be said that the demands of the parade organizers are almost on the verge of being fulfilled.

But perhaps because they understood the truth that "crying children get milk", after film practitioners took to the streets and gained benefits, other industries in the United States also began to make noise.

The first to march is the supermarket service industry, where the most waiters from Wal-Mart, their appeal is to raise wages and stop discrimination.

Still the unions took the lead, and then the staff shut down and took to the streets.

Compared with film practitioners, the number of cashiers and cleaners from supermarkets is much larger, and they are all over the states of the United States.

It's just that most states are small, but the number of parades in big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco is quite large.

The power of role models is infinite. Under the thought that the law does not blame the public, more and more people began to take to the streets to complain about the unequal treatment they received at work.

It was originally just a parade of a group of film practitioners, but in the end it directly developed into a workers' union parade, and now the momentum has completely grown.

The media began to report and interview overwhelmingly, and the police also began to send a large number of people to maintain order.

So far, everything has been controlled within a safe range.

In fact, parades of this scale are not particularly rare in the United States. A few years ago, there was a parade against TXL discrimination. At that time, half of the American society participated in it, and the battle was even bigger than this time.

It’s just that the strikers this time were all workers, which led to the closure of many manufacturing industries and shops, so the government was more angry and hoped to resolve it as soon as possible.

But the capitalists are definitely not willing to raise their salaries just because of a parade. This time, if they are not satisfied with the adjustment after a while, will they be adjusted again?

As a worker, the economy is going down, the prices are getting more and more expensive, insurance and medical expenses are getting higher and higher, but the salary has remained the same. Who would say no.

In short, the contradictions and differences between the two sides are very large, and the lobbyists of the government are very busy, but the progress of coordination is relatively slow.

In the United States, a lobbyist is a profession that specializes in mediating between conflicting parties and resolving differences through their own abilities and connections.

In layman's terms, it is a negotiator, which is a very special and very important occupation in American culture.

In short, the government is trying to find a way to end this dispute as soon as possible, while workers and capitalists are trying their best to fight for their own interests, and all three parties are negotiating.

This negotiation may go on for a long time, and it may be settled tomorrow, but until the negotiations resume, the current state of production standstill will continue.

And as the wave of demonstrations swept across the country, the order that the police struggled to maintain finally couldn't be maintained.

Originally, this was just a demonstration initiated by workers for their own benefit, but somehow, those vagrants in the society were also organized and joined.

They want the government to increase subsidies, improve food at relief stations, and even provide them with free housing.

The slogan is beautiful, but the behavior is not so beautiful.

At the beginning, these people marched in an orderly manner with the large army of workers, but they clashed with the police as they swam.

A large part of these unemployed vagrants are blacks, and there is no need to say more about the attitude of the American police towards blacks.

After the conflict, black people thought it was discrimination against black people.

Why is it okay for white people to march, but black people will be beaten when they march?
No, there must be demonstrations on this matter, and we must ask for an explanation!
Thus, a parade even more massive than the workers' parade kicked off.

Luo Quan saw this explosive news on Twitter, and thought that all contradictions would turn into political correctness.

It was originally just a small parade with thousands of people, but the influence gradually expanded, and finally developed to this result.

At this time, she had already returned to the hotel in Los Angeles. She opened the window and looked outside. With the light of the street lamp, she saw a large group of black people marching against discrimination against ZZ on the avenue below.

It is said that this game gathered more than 2 people, but Luo Quan looked at these dark crowds and felt that the number should be much more.

These people covered their faces and carried backpacks, advancing recklessly on the road, completely ignoring the vehicles next to them.

A large number of policemen are waiting not far away, holding explosion-proof shields and batons in their hands, ready to deal with possible situations at any time.

The situation has developed to the present, which is actually very dangerous.

Because this group of marchers was neither organized nor disciplined. Anti-discrimination was the slogan, but many people didn't even know what they were actually going to the streets for.

Government officials have apologized several times in the media, calling on the marchers to remain calm and rational, but the wonderful people they sent were fully armed, as if they would strike if they disagreed.

In fact, it is not to blame that the American police are so nervous, mainly because Los Angeles has learned from the past.

In the 90s of the last century, a very large-scale riot broke out in Los Angeles. At that time, it was also because of violent police law enforcement that led to mass protests, which eventually triggered the famous Los Angeles riots.

In this man-made disaster, more than 50 people died, 2000 were injured, and the economic loss exceeded one billion US dollars. It was the worst riot since the 60s.

Because of this historical background, the police have been quite restrained in handling this time.

But people have anger, when they are constantly being provoked and abused, no matter how restrained they are, they cannot be controlled.

Luo Quan has been watching the movement below, and witnessed how the neat team was blocked by the police, negotiated, yelled, and finally turned into a conflict.

The reason is probably just because someone threw a bottle and hit a policeman's helmet, and then several policemen rushed into the crowd.

Although there is no telescope, the camera function of the Huawei mobile phone is really powerful. Even if Luoquan is in a tall building, he can still take a clear picture of the scene of the commotion below.

The clashes between the parade crowd and the police began. These people threw stones at the police, and the police responded with tear gas. If they got closer, they would serve with batons.

Facing the heavily armed police, some demonstrators did not resist for too long, but fled in all directions.

But instead of going home, these people rushed aggressively into shops on nearby streets.

While the large forces were entangled with the police, the ulterior motives among the demonstrators directly started zero-dollar purchases.

Wal-Mart supermarkets, Apple mobile phone stores, and luxury bag stores have all become hardest hit areas.

Originally, these shops were closed because of the workers' demonstrations. As a result, the army of zero-yuan buyers directly smashed the glass of the shops and broke in, taking whatever they saw.

And as the carnival started, many residents who originally stayed at home saw the video posted on Twitter, and ran out of their homes to participate in it.

There were more than 2 people in this parade, and there were thousands of people in the zero-dollar shoppers. Is it possible for the Los Angeles police to arrest so many people and put them in jail?
Of course it's impossible, at most we can only deal with a few culprits.

Taking advantage of the fact that the goods in those blocks had not been emptied, many nearby residents walked into the darkness with their bags on their backs.

The police have already used all their police forces to deal with the parade, so where is the time to deal with zero-yuan purchases?

The goods being robbed are at most a loss of money. If events like the Los Angeles riots in 92 happen again, a large number of officials here will have to lose their hats!

The streets are now in a mess. The destructive power of thousands of robbers is astonishing. Not only shops, but many passers-by have also encountered violent crimes.

The hotel where Luo Quan was located happened to be the gathering place for the parade. There were a lot of police here, and the army of zero-dollar buyers didn't dare to make trouble here, so although the scene was once very chaotic, few people stormed the hotel.

And in such a chaotic situation, there is still a group of people on the street who seem very calm, and it can even be said that they are excited.

They are journalists from big media such as BBC, Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, etc. When the parade started, these people had already arrived and started live broadcasting.

Originally, I just wanted to shoot it as a hot spot, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big news.

The riot has now been broadcast live by major news agencies, with more than 30 real-time viewers on Youtube, and more than 20 related tweets on Twitter.

I believe that the government officials who had already fallen asleep should have been awakened by the phone calls at this time, and they were anxiously thinking about how to solve the impact of the riot.

And Luo Quan, as a complete outsider, just showed a half-hour-long video upstairs in the way of watching the excitement.

When she finished recording, the riots were still going on, and there were tens of thousands of angry protesters, and the police alone would definitely not be able to catch them all.

The riot is expected to continue until tomorrow morning.

After recording the video, Luo Quan uploaded the video to Station B.
