Luke only meant one thing: Call her if you need anything! The special service for beating people up was now online.
Elsa accepted it without hesitation.
She wasn't outstanding in terms of physical strength, and neither was her new partner, Simmons.
Luke's strength had always been her greatest source of confidence.
Elsa had always been convinced that her former partner and current subordinate was the best fighter in all of Los Angeles.
Ten minutes after they arrived at the police department, Luke and Selina drove out again.
The police's internal communications system was basically exploding. The operators were already trying to resolve the communication jam, but a lot of officers still wanted to smash their walkie-talkies.
It was much simpler for Luke and Selina. They simply gave Elsa a satellite phone. Because the phone lines were jammed with people calling each other, they often couldn't get through.
What could Elsa say about her subordinate's extravagant behavior?
They had agreed to use Ding Ding to beat people up, but now, they even had a special tool for Ding Ding to summon people. How considerate.
After they came out, Luke and Selina ran around the streets.
They caught some hooligans on the streets. If they behaved themselves, it was fine, but if they tried to run away, they would be beaten up and told to pass on the message to their bosses.
The content was similar to what Dustin had said, and the police department's intentions were broadcasted.
However, the big shots of the police department couldn't directly say such a threat on TV.
They could only say it implicitly on TV, and some uneducated and brainless gangsters wouldn't understand.
It was most efficient to let the detectives of the Major Crimes Division warn them in plain language.
The Americans also understood that the county magistrate was better than the local magistrate. Right now, the county magistrate was asking the local magistrate to give orders.
LAPD was definitely one of the most "sensitive" police departments in America when it came to riots. Given the previous example, they were absolutely right to do this.
Luke and Selina spent the whole morning running around. Their main job was to notify the hooligans, and they also caught six groups of fifteen robbers in passing.
Some of them were low-level hooligans, and some were just lazy bums. They didn't care about what the police department or the detectives said; they only cared about what they could steal.
Seeing that Los Angeles was a little chaotic because of the earthquake in the morning, they couldn't help but want to take advantage of the chaos.
They robbed a phone store, an electronics store, and four small supermarkets.
In the end, the group of people who robbed the cell phone shop had stolen a total of ten to twenty … display cases.
He wondered if they would break down when they returned and found out that the phones didn't even have a battery or a motherboard.
The duo that robbed the appliances were really hardworking. After intimidating the shop assistant with their guns, they began to move everything from the TV to the refrigerator to the game console onto the pickup truck in front of the store. It was as if they were going to buy another set of appliances "for free."
In the end, when Luke and Selina stopped them, they were busy moving home appliances, and the two hardworking men had their guns holstered behind them.
When Luke and Selina pointed their guns at them, they didn't dare shout "hands up" like they usually did. Instead, they shouted, "Steady! Steady the LCD TVs in your hands! Don't raise your hands, don't raise your hands, or we'll shoot! "
After instructing the two diligent robbers to put the TV in the back of the pickup and handcuff it, Selina looked at the electrical appliances in the back of the pickup and scratched her head. "Are you calling the forensics department over?"
Luke was a little amused.
These two guys had moved at least hundreds of kilograms of electrical appliances into the back of the pickup truck. If the forensics department were to move them back to the department as evidence, they would definitely curse.
Luke shook his head. "Let the patrol officers take over. They can call whoever they want. We just need to arrest them."
They decisively threw the blame to the patrol officers. The shop assistant looked at them and asked professionally, "Can we move these appliances back and continue selling them?"
Luke and Selina quickly shook their heads.
If they moved them back, it would be a lot more troublesome for the patrol officers behind them.
It would be best to hand over all the follow-up work from the beginning, including the "hardworking" duo who had been caught.
If these two groups of robbers were ambitious, the other four groups completely proved how low the threshold for robbery in America was.
These four groups had all robbed convenience stores, and basically robbed a lot of snacks without even taking any money.
That's right, they were robbing snacks.
The total value of the snacks they robbed didn't exceed two hundred dollars, and they were all junk food.
Two of them were slightly ambitious, and one of them grabbed two bottles of whiskey in passing. One of them grabbed two bottles of beer in passing.
However, this was the only thing he was pursuing.
They were also the reason why Luke basically didn't hit the robbers too hard if they didn't hurt anyone.
If he really did that, it would be like being shot to death on the spot for stealing a bag of vegetables in China. It was too brutal.
For example, the two hooligans who had robbed the whiskey … well, they had robbed it when they were drunk.
At first, the convenience store assistant called the police, thinking that someone was smashing up the store.
In the end, Luke and Selina went over and listened to their drunken talk. Only then did they realize that they had gone to rob the whiskey.
They could only put the two drunkards in the patrol car and take them to the police detention room to sober up.
Luke and Selina didn't know whether to laugh or cry when they saw the three men and one woman who had tried to escape with two bottles of beer, only to be blocked by the shop assistant.
With just a few words of intimidation, they found out the true identities of these four kids.
They were just high school students. What could Luke say?
Painstakingly educate him? That was useless. He didn't have the time.
These were four kids who couldn't find a way to buy alcohol, so they simply stole it in the chaos.
He could only write down their addresses and warn them that if they did it again, he would arrest them at home.
Watching the four scared kids leave, Selina said to Luke in the car with a smile, "You're really like an old man. The way you talked just now was very similar to Robert's. That's how he scared the kids who stole alcohol in Shackelford. "
Luke sighed. "It's in children's nature to take risks. Some people follow the rules and respect the old when they're forty, but when they were young, they might have been naughty kids who flipped roofs over and jumped into the water to get themselves killed. Besides, didn't you steal beer when you were fifteen or sixteen? "
Selina chuckled. "No. My parents couldn't be bothered. As long as I didn't drink it in front of them, they would pretend that they didn't know. "
Luke was lost for words.
Marino and Sandra were Mexican.
Twenty years ago, they had been super naughty kids who had eloped for "kids" when they were only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The whole morning was filled with this kind of bullsh * t incident, but no major case really happened.
Luke wasn't surprised.
Generally speaking, it was these brainless people who popped up at the beginning of chaos.
When everything was chaotic and the police department was overwhelmed, these "smart professionals" would find an opportunity to do something big.
