Chapter 470 - 235: The White Horse? He Shall Come and Never Return! _3
Local residents must be used to it by now. Only incidents involving fatalities make the hot news.
Casual traffic accidents or fights where one or two people die don’t draw attention. It must be at least five or six fatalities, deaths by gunshot, or loss of police officers or people with special status, like some gang leader or councilor with local influence, for there to be a grand introduction.
The level of occupational hazard for mayors and city councilors here is probably second only to Mexico’s. After all, customs and milieu here are no different from across the river in New Laredo, where bureau chiefs and police chiefs with real power thrive.
The busier the area, the lower the position of the bureau chief. Take Los Angeles, for example, where one must heed the preferences of mayors and city council and various capital owners, and can be easily investigated and removed.
Even the economic development of places like Little Rock and Palm Valley isn’t too shabby compared to other states.
The more chaotic the place and the more economically backward it is, the greater the actual power of those backed by guns.
Because the law hardly works here; the light from the beacon of civilization is too dim! To mix it up here, you need an M4.
Even if you’re a mayor or city councilor, you still need my people’s protection to survive and govern. There’s no pretending otherwise. Dare to speak about drug prohibition and the next day, your brain will have been aired out at home!
Who did it? How would I, the police chief, know? I’m investigating, aren’t I?
I advise you to be wise and understand the times. Make a quick buck here and then head back to Houston, the capital of Texas.
