Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

"I didn't lie, the people at the supermarket are lying."

"We've watched the surveillance footage, you were at that store."

"It could have been before, doesn't mean it was today."

"The date on the video is today."

"Sorry, I can't remember."

"Where are your ID documents?"

"At home."

"What's your name?"

"I can't remember."

John grew frustrated, "Are you messing with me?"

"George."

"OK, George, we're arresting you."

"Officer, I didn't do anything."

"I've already made it clear, someone reported you for using counterfeit money.

Stand up."

"Why?"

"Get in the police car, we're taking you back to the station."

"No, I don't know anything."

"Stand up." John said, pulling forcefully, and the two began a tug-of-war.

Soon after, Afra joined in.

Both officers pushed him towards the car together.

George, tall and strong, resisted while shouting, "I can't get in the police car, I have claustrophobia, I'll die."

A tug-of-war ensued between the three.

The struggle attracted a crowd of onlookers, resembling a farce.

George, a black man, adamantly refused to enter the police car; John began to verbally coax him.

However, it was in vain, as the scuffle resumed.

Relying on his physical fitness, George pressed against the car door, and John couldn't budge him.

The standoff had been going on for over ten minutes, drawing a crowd.

Just then, another police car arrived to assist.

Two officers stepped out, a white man and an Asian female cop.

The white officer frowned and called out, "Afra, John, what the hell are you two doing? You've been at this for so long and still haven't caught this guy?"

John wiped the sweat from his brow, "William, this guy's as strong as an ox, really tough to handle."

"Rookie, that just means you're too weak.

Let me teach you one last lesson." After saying this, William joined the fray.

Four officers began to push George, trying to get him into the car.

George struggled even harder, twisting his shoulders, kicking forcefully, and most annoyingly, he never stopped shouting, "Let me go, I can't get in the police car, I have claustrophobia, I'm going to die..."

After a few more minutes of struggle, the patience of the four officers was running thin.

"Fuck!" William completely lost his temper; since George wouldn't get in the car, he dragged him outside and pinned him to the ground.

George continued to resist.

William pressed his knee against his back and neck, finally subduing George.

The other officers also took a breather; John leaned on the car with his right hand, feeling like he was about to pass out, his back aching.

"Let me go, Mom...

I want to find my mom...

I can't breathe!" George called out from the ground.

As more and more onlookers gathered, some began to intervene against the police's actions upon seeing George's distress.

"Hey, you can't use excessive force like that, it's not right."

"Let this poor man go... he's calling for his mom..."

"He says he can't breathe, you're going to kill him."

William had lost all patience and was unswayed.

John came over and, seeing George quieting down, advised, "William, that's enough, let's get him into the police car."

"Rookie, now is not the time to play Mr. Nice Guy."

"His complexion looks off to me."

Afra walked over, checked George's pulse, "William, let him go, something is not right with him."

Upon hearing Afra's words, William finally lifted his knee from George.

By this time, George was already exhaling more than inhaling.

"Damn!" William too realized the gravity of the situation.

"John, put him in a comfortable position." After saying that, Afra hurried to contact an ambulance.

...

The crowd grew, and many recorded the law enforcement process, posting it online and selling footage to TV stations.

Soon, news of LAPD's excessive force was broadcast on television, causing a sensation in a specific area.

The issue of LAPD's use of excessive force wasn't new.

Many citizens had strong opinions about it, especially after seeing William pressing his knee on George, with George pleading non-stop...

In the end, George was placed on an ambulance, eliciting sympathy from many.

Several LAPD TV stations quickly shared the news, and the level of attention it received grew.

Many citizens wanted to know about George's condition, whether he was safe.

Whether he was still alive.

This included Luke from the Robbery and Murder Department and others.

The reason was simple; the sketch of a suspect that Luke had drawn looked remarkably like George, and both wore gold chains and drove black Ford sedans.

This George might just be one of the two suspects they were looking for who had been impersonating LAPD officers.

Upon watching the complete video on the news, Little Black shook his head, "Is this guy really one of the suspects impersonating LAPD officers? He's too cowardly.

Could we have made a mistake?"

The deputy chief curled his lip in disdain, "I've seen plenty of guys like him, bullies who are cowards at heart.

They're like hyenas, savage when attacking antelopes, looking invincible.

But when facing a lion, they can only wag their tails and beg for mercy."

Luke also watched the video closely and speculated, "Judging by his state, he must have been on drugs."

Susan confirmed, "Luke, are you sure your sketch wasn't drawn from his appearance?"
