The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 464: Occupy San Francisco and Slander Gavin
At the Los Angeles City Hall Plaza, the Matthew Syndicate, the Compton Foundation and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People mobilized thousands of people to participate in the rally.
The people held up posters of Philip's bust and shouted slogans such as "I can't breathe".
Three of the five major television networks sent television broadcast vehicles, and together with Twitter, they broadcast the event live to the entire United States.
Hawke and his companions were on the sixth floor of City Hall, watching the developments below.
Brian said softly, "There are tens of thousands of people protesting in San Francisco, and the number of people is increasing."
Caroline said: "The media opinion is overwhelmingly in support of Philip, and the voices of doubt can be ignored."
Saint Steve Nutt wore the same style of clothing that Philip was wearing when he was killed and said with a serious face: "Philip is a good man, a good man in the true sense of the word."
Hawke looked at Steve and said, "It's your turn now. Are you ready?"
Steve gestured to the speech in his hand: "I wrote it all down."
Hawke patted his arm: "Go ahead."
Steve left here, went downstairs and walked towards the square.
Brian asked, "The speech you prepared?"
"I told you the theme." Hawke pointed at Caroline. "Caroline wrote it in one night, and Steve polished it himself."
Brian exclaimed: "He has become a true saint."
The saint came to the Town Hall Square, climbed to the highest point and raised his hands.
The figure in the pink dress was particularly eye-catching. The originally chaotic scene gradually became quiet, starting from the crowd closest to the steps.
"My brothers and sisters!" Steve picked up the microphone and shouted, "Listen to me! I beg you, listen to my voice!"
None of the thousands of people in the square spoke a word.
Steve pointed overhead, and a huge poster fell from above, covering the first to fifth floors of the City Hall.
It was a huge poster of Philip.
Steve said in both voice and appearance: "A few days ago, in San Francisco, a black man, a black man who made physical changes for his family and his sister, was killed by a white policeman in violent law enforcement. My brothers and sisters, please remember this day, remember this man, he died of racial injustice in society, died of indifference and discrimination against marginalized groups in society. White lives matter, black lives matter, and the lives of the LGBTQ community matter too!"
The crowd below responded: "Black lives matter! LGBTQ lives matter!"
When the voice died down, Steve continued, "I'm sure everyone has seen Steve's life on the news. He is a good man. The media has called me a saint many times, but I feel unworthy of Philip. Philip is the real saint!"
Saint Steve's reputation is recognized throughout the United States, not only because he has a black son, but also because he is committed to the equal rights movement!
"Today, we are here to mourn Philip, not only to remember Philip and fight for fairness and justice for Philip, but also to protect thousands of black people like Philip, the same LGBTQ community, and the same good people!"
Steve's voice became louder and louder, and at the same time, he raised the significance of the protest: "Today, we gather here, and there are many people like us, gathering in cities across the United States, speaking the voices of the ignored groups! Our struggle is not only the language of the ignored groups, but also a cry from the bottom of our hearts!"
He cried out: "For Philip!"
The people of color and LGBTQ community gathered at the scene followed their saint and roared in unison: "For Philip!"
Black people and people of color fear police brutality and a lifetime of low-paying, no-benefits, insecure, and unproductive part-time and temporary work.
Because they often have to work two or even three jobs just to survive.
And those white people of slightly higher status could be killed with just one knee.
There is a serious divide between the rich and the poor in the United States, and the lower and marginalized groups can only roar in frustration, anger, and despair.
For several consecutive days, protests have been taking place across the United States.
The news that the San Francisco Police Department arrested several core members of the Matthew Singh Society was also exposed by the news media.
Saint Steve Nutter personally rushed to San Francisco and came to 11th Street in the Atherton District. Facing the cameras of hundreds of media reporters, he placed a bouquet of flowers at the place where Philip was killed.
This place has become a sea of flowers.
Steve was interviewed by media reporters and sought help from equal rights organizations and LGBTQ groups across the United States, asking them to assist Philip and fight for fairness and justice for Philip and all marginalized people.
When a sage appears, people will respond like clouds.
A large number of demons and monsters rushed to California, gathered in San Francisco, and launched various protests against the San Francisco authorities.
How could a politician miss such an opportunity?
When an opportunity arises, of course we have to take advantage of it.
As the governor of California, Schwarzenegger directly stated: "Gavin Bullson's response was ineffective and full of old-fashioned white arrogance, and the San Francisco authorities failed to protect the rights of minorities."
On the same day, at the White House's regular press conference, George Walker also expressed his concern about the incident: "Philip deserves justice, the police involved must be held accountable for their bad behavior, and the FBI should conduct a thorough investigation."
Politicians almost unanimously stood against the San Francisco authorities.
Even Obama, who is preparing to run for the next presidential election, publicly accused the San Francisco authorities of discriminating against blacks.
The media continues to disclose new information.
Twitter, in particular, received a lot of exclusive news.
The Twitter news editorial department released the life story of white police officer Williams, who had committed violent law enforcement against black people and homosexuals more than once, and had a long criminal record. However, the San Francisco Police Department simply transferred him to another position without any other punishment measures.
Many police departments across the country were doing this, but the San Francisco Police Department was caught and had the incident videotaped.
This incident once again put the San Francisco Police Department in the spotlight.
Nearly a thousand people gathered in front of the San Francisco Police Department for several consecutive days. They held up portraits of Philip and shouted various slogans, demanding that the San Francisco Police Department release the detained members of the Matthew Syndicate.
Former director Heather felt relieved, because she had already resigned and the rest of the matter had nothing to do with her.
The detention of the Matthewsing Society members came at the behest of Gavin Newson, who found that the tough measures not only failed to suppress the protests, but instead seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest, which made him a little crazy.
The inexperienced mayor of San Francisco could only give the order to release the people.
When the five arrested members of the Matthew Syndicate walked out of the San Francisco Police Station, they were treated like heroes.
Thousands of people at the door applauded them, presented them with wreaths, and allowed them to get on a specially rented open-top jeep.
These people held up rainbow flags and Philip flags, stood on open jeeps, and marched back and forth in the main city of San Francisco.
Behind the police station, the lawyer, who had completed the formalities, came out from the back door with Eddie.
The two got into the same car. The lawyer drove Eddie home and said, "There is video evidence. You are not in serious trouble. When Williams abused you, you accepted his instructions and got into the car for routine inspection. Although there was no search warrant... it was a minor problem. When you got out of the car, you pulled Williams away and performed CPR on Philip. I have communicated with the District Attorney's Office. You will not face criminal charges."
Eddie said, "But I was fired by the SFPD and became unemployed."
The streets were full of demonstrators, and Eddie was afraid of being seen, so he quickly picked up a hat and put it on.
The lawyer simply stopped the car and waited for the demonstrators to pass by: "Someone has already paid your lawyer's fees. I can only help you get here."
Eddie thought it was paid by the San Francisco Police Union and didn't ask because he wasn't interested in that at all.
In his heart, he kept cursing that bastard Williams and the SFPD for messing around without getting the facts.
Now that he has lost his job, how will he pay his mortgage and car loan next month? Who will support his wife and children?
Just as he thought of this, Eddie received a call from his wife.
The wife's voice was cold: "Did you hear it?"
"Just came out and was walking home." Eddie felt his heart start to twitch.
If a person has a bad premonition, it will not only come true, but also come true sooner. The wife's voice in the receiver became even colder: "Come back soon, my lawyer has been waiting for you for a long time. When you come back, sign the divorce agreement."
Eddie was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "You want to divorce me?"
The wife said without hesitation: "You have lost your job and income. What will happen to me and my daughter? Don't even mention that you will find a job. You are a national celebrity now. No company will hire you. You are finished."
Eddie wanted to argue: "I...I can still go..."
"Face the reality!" The wife seemed very heartless: "You don't want me to support you, do you? Please, Eddie, you are a man, an adult man, you can't take on family responsibilities, at least don't drag us down!"
Eddie had no idea what to say.
"Come back soon." The wife hung up the phone.
Eddie listened to the busy tone on the phone and fell into silence.
The lawyer looked back at him and said nothing more.
Because Eddie has no money.
"I never thought such a bad thing would happen to me." As a former police officer, Eddie has seen many similar cases, including families where the men lost their income and the women voluntarily left.
Once a man loses his income, his wife will most likely divorce him and run away. While running away, she will also use her gender advantage to snatch away the man’s house and the few remaining assets.
The court decides on alimony based on the man’s average income in the previous 12 months.
Without their houses and jobs, many men have to go bankrupt and become homeless.
With these thoughts in mind, Eddie turned his head to look out the window, and saw a group of feminists standing on the roadside, cursing and protesting. The demons and monsters wearing vests of the Matthew Singh Association and holding banners that read "I can't breathe" immediately rushed over and confronted those women.
The verbal abuse between the two sides quickly escalated into physical conflict.
Suddenly, Eddie understood these monsters, those so-called women who demanded rights. They demanded privileges when they were enjoying themselves, but ran away faster than anyone else when it came to taking responsibilities.
It would be terrible if these women were allowed to have the say in society.
But if a normal man fights back, he will be at a disadvantage. Eddie suddenly realized that he can't deal with women as a man.
Looking at the colorful monsters outside the car, the former San Francisco police officer became curious.
Finally, most of the protesters outside walked past and the lawyer drove forward.
But when I turned a corner, I met another group of people.
Protesters traveled from Las Vegas to San Francisco.
These people held up Philip flags, wore T-shirts that said "I can't breathe", shouted slogans to protest against the San Francisco authorities, and marched towards the San Francisco City Hall.
San Francisco was in chaos.
We stopped and started along the way, and the journey of more than half an hour took nearly two hours.
Eddie said goodbye to the lawyer, got out of the car and looked at the detached house, not wanting to go in.
A beautiful blonde woman came over and showed her ID: "Hello, Eddie, I'm Harley Wayne, a reporter from Fox TV. Can we talk for a few minutes?"
"What's the matter?" Eddie gets nervous when he sees a woman now.
Halle thought of the information provided by Megan Taylor and said, "You are an innocent person. I plan to do an in-depth investigation and report on Philip's murder. If you can tell me some inside information, maybe after the show is broadcast, it will cleanse the stain on you."
Eddie said, "Let's go somewhere else."
There was a business car next to them, and the two got in together.
Halle knew very well that Megan Taylor, who provided the information, was not a good person and had ulterior motives.
But she didn't care, because she had a deep understanding of the case, knew what to do, and knew what position to take.
Fairness and justice!
Harley looked at Eddie. "Can I ask you some details about Phillips, Williams, the SFPD, and San Francisco City Hall?"
Eddie thought about the dilemma he was about to face, and without thinking for long, he said, "I can answer, but there are a few conditions."
Harry brought enough funds before coming: "You say."
"I need some money, but it can't be given to me right away because I'm about to get divorced." Eddie said, "Also, I need you to help me find a job."
Harry responded, "Money is no problem, as for work, let me think about it."
She pulled out her phone, sent a few messages, and quickly said, "Going to Los Angeles for work."
“No problem,” Eddie said.
The two sides reached an agreement, and Hallie conducted an in-depth interview with Eddie, which not only involved the case and the parties involved that day, but also the SFPD and the San Francisco authorities.
…………
Coast Building, Los Angeles.
Twitter is broadcasting a 24-hour live video of the street protests in San Francisco.
In Hawke's office, a large screen on the wall was constantly playing real-time images from around San Francisco City Hall.
In the square in front of City Hall, many groups from cities outside San Francisco appeared.
Hawke saw flags for Las Vegas, Seattle, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Phoenix.
The LGBTQ community in San Francisco is not fighting alone.
Hawke asked Edward, "How many other teams are on their way?"
Edward had just contacted Rosa, and his Compton Foundation had also sent people over: "LGBTQ teams from 21 cities are rushing to San Francisco to participate in this protest, and all expenses are covered by the Matthewsing Association."
The Hawke and Ferguson family's overseas foundation sponsored this massive event.
The Matthewsin Association, which provided the money, naturally became the leader.
Rosa and Sora, who represented the capital, became true leaders.
Hawke looked up at the screen. The lawn square in front of San Francisco City Hall had long been turned into a garbage dump, as protests often lasted for days and conflicts broke out between feminists and the LGBTQ community.
He said to Edward: "Notify Steve and launch a new round of attack."
Edward went to make the call.
The planned new round of offensive is called Occupy San Francisco!
From now on, the LGBTQ community will be stationed in San Francisco's City Plaza for a long time, with at least hundreds of people, until the gubernatorial election.
Hawke has prepared all kinds of new tricks and will let the San Francisco Group experience them one by one.
The LGBTQ community would become a nightmare for Gavin Bullson and Jerry Brown, who the Bullson family supports.
Hawke was then informed by Megan Taylor that Harley Wayne had conducted an in-depth interview with Eddie, one of the parties involved, and was taking people back to Los Angeles.
This man was first fired from the SFPD, then abandoned by his wife, and was facing almost being kicked out of the house, so one can imagine what he would say.
Of course, Eddie's wife didn't actively seek a divorce.
Fiona sent one of her subordinates to contact Eddie's wife and successfully punch her.
…………
San Francisco, in front of City Hall Plaza.
In order to support the LGBTQ community, Saint Steve has been wearing the same pink dress as Philip and has been fighting on the front line of the protest.
As a modern-day equal rights saint, media cameras follow him wherever he goes.
On the way, Steve got in the car to rest for a while and took a call from Edward.
Half an hour later, someone came to inform us that someone from San Francisco City Hall was sent to communicate.
Steve, Rosa, Sora, Lawrence and others met with the people sent by the City Hall.
The two sides had an unfriendly communication.
The city hall said it would severely punish the murderer and increase police supervision to prevent such incidents from happening again.
But Steve directly put forward his own conditions, which included 22 items.
For example, high compensation was given to Philip's family, San Francisco officially enacted legislation to protect the rights of the LGBTQ community, the legalization of same-sex marriage was promoted, police reform legislation was enacted, discrimination against the LGBTQ community was treated as the same crime as racial discrimination, third-gender toilets were established in San Francisco, the existence of the third gender was publicly acknowledged, and so on.
How could the San Francisco City Hall agree to such a clause in this era?
The two parties parted ways unhappily.
Afterwards, Steve accepted an interview with the media. In addition to reiterating his fight for fairness and justice for Philip and safeguarding the rights of the LGBTQ community, he emphasized one point.
"Such serious discrimination and abuse in San Francisco, especially against public servants, is frightening." He said very seriously, "The equal rights movement is what it is today because of the persistence of countless pioneers. We will take over the banner of the pioneers and continue to persevere. As long as the goal of this equal rights movement is not achieved, all LGBTQ brothers and sisters will not withdraw from San Francisco!"
There was a response from all around: "We will not withdraw until the goal is achieved!"
Half an hour later, a new article appeared on the headlines of Twitter's news section.
The title is: LGBTQ group launches the Occupy San Francisco movement!
That evening, Fox aired an in-depth interview with Eddie by Harley Wayne.
Gavin Niu Sen has been feeling restless and angry these days. He is seriously lacking in experience in dealing with movements that are new groups under the old model, such as the LGBTQ movement.
Not to mention him, a novice who has only been in politics for a few years, even many old politicians in Hawke's previous life suffered a lot when this movement just started.
These groups have bad personalities and once they are in the center of the stage, they will do whatever it takes to attract attention.
Originally, Gavin wanted to use women's fists to fight back, but that group of women was no match for these monsters.
As the sky darkened, lights came on in front of the Town Hall Square, and those bastards set up their tents, showing their intention to stay there for a long time.
The assistant came over and reminded: "Mayor, you'd better watch Fox News. They just issued a routine announcement saying there is news related to San Francisco municipal government."
Gavin turned on the TV and switched to Fox News. After a short wait, an interview program began.
He knew the female reporter who appeared on the screen, Harley Wayne, whom he had used last time.
The other middle-aged white man looked familiar, Police Officer Eddie in the Philip case.
Under Harley's questioning, Eddie, as an eyewitness, recounted in detail what happened that day.
Because he had given up on the SFPD and San Francisco City Hall, he inevitably portrayed himself as an innocent person dragged down by Williams, and Williams naturally became his bad partner who was a repeat offender and whom he could not persuade.
Hallie asked emphatically, "Williams is a repeat offender. Why hasn't he been punished? Is someone at the SFPD protecting him?"
"Yes, a deputy chief of a SFPD precinct, and Williams' former partner." At this point, Eddie said whatever he knew: "SFPD has never treated Williams' violent law enforcement against blacks and homosexuals as a job. Chief Heather is studying every day how to increase the proportion of female police officers and win support from female voters for Mayor Gavin Bullson."
He said with great sorrow: "After the incident happened that day, I reported the incident truthfully, but the result finally announced by SFPD was completely different. Later, the real video was exposed, and Scott, who was instructed by Heather, asked me to take the initiative to take responsibility, saying that we lied to our superiors."
Harley then asked, "Do you think Heather's decision was interfered with by the city hall?"
Eddie thought of his broken family and felt hatred in his heart. He said, "Yes, it's very obvious. Heather was appointed by the mayor and always listens to the mayor's opinions."
In the mayor's office of San Francisco, after hearing the last sentence, Gavin Newson couldn't help but stand up and slammed the table.
This is nonsense!
He was furious, but he quickly controlled himself.
What this bastard said is false, but the problem is that in this situation, who would believe it even if he refutes it?
SFPD had completely overdrawn its credit before. (End of this chapter)
