On the way, Su Zhen finally understood why there was a football craze in the town. This was really related to Su Zhen, because as the owner of Tottenham, Su Zhen also invited Tottenham players to come to the ranch for vacation. Therefore, the sport of football was brought into the eyes of the residents of Hot Spring Town invisibly. In addition, although football is not a particularly popular sport in the United States, there are always a few loyal fans, so With the promotion of these people, many people in the town have now become loyal fans of Tottenham. In this context, a small town's own football club was established. However, although the club has been established, for now, the club is still quite simple. This simplicity does not refer to facilities. You must know that the various sports facilities in the community stadium are built in accordance with international standards and cost a lot of money. , for this reason, the town government also borrowed a lot of money from Su Zhen personally. When the club was established, the stadium also had a special area designated for the club's office use, so the hardware was actually very complete. It is said to be simple because of the software. There are no professional players. The players are all football enthusiasts among the Cowboys. They are not paid to play football. There are no professional coaches. The coach of the football team is from the University of Wyoming football team. The fee for an assistant coach is not high, but it is still a lot of extra money for this coach. This children's football training class is even simpler. The so-called coaches are just volunteers from the University of Wyoming, and the so-called training , in fact, it is just to play with children who like football, and teach some common sense about English football. However, this is not a big problem for the members of the club. After all, the club was established just for the entertainment of small town residents. They never thought about playing any professional games. At most, they would compete with some very special teams in other areas of Wyoming. It's just a professional club football match. But what surprised Su Zhen even more was that Xiao Tingting actually liked a "manly" activity like football. "Tingting. Do you like playing football?" Su Zhen asked Tingting in the back seat while driving. "I like it," the little guy nodded and replied. "Then why do you like it?" Su Zhen continued to ask with a smile. "Well," the little guy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Because it's fun, and Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Klose are so handsome." Su Zhen was confused after hearing this. The following is probably the main reason. The lethality of the handsome football guy is really different. Not even an 8-year-old girl can escape their clutches. "Then do you think my brother is handsome, or they are handsome?" Su Zhen continued to ask. "Brother is handsome." Tingting answered without hesitation, which made Su Zhen feel very open-minded. Sure enough, brother is still very charming, but Tingting's next words made the secretly happy Su Zhen fall into the sky. "But none of you are as handsome as Leonardo," Xiao Tingting said. The little girl is a loyal fan of Leonardo, so she was in front of the idol. Brother and other decisiveness are definitely worthless. Su Zhen could only selectively ignore this and cursed in his heart, well~ why not discuss it with Leon later and let him come out as gay, so as to save the little girl from harming her as a big shot in Hollywood. Su Zhen and Leonardo are still very familiar with each other. They can't be called close friends, but they can be regarded as ordinary friends. When Su Zhen drove the car into the town, he encountered an extremely embarrassing thing He was stopped by the traffic police. ¡°Hey, BOSS, you¡¯re speeding,¡± Su Zhen heard the traffic policeman on a motorcycle say after he rolled down the window in confusion. This policeman showed no mercy because Su Zhen was the owner of the town. It is his duty to maintain traffic order. No matter who violates the rules, even if the other person is the owner of the place, but because he recognized Su Zhen's car, the policeman did not press his hand after stopping the car like he would any ordinary person. When you come over with a gun holster, you must know that the police in the United States are not as easy to negotiate as the police in China. Generally, when stopped by the police, the driver must lower the window and put his hands on the steering wheel. Otherwise, it will be suspected that you have a weapon. If you grab something randomly in the car at this time, the police will use violent methods to enforce the law and even shoot. But it¡¯s not necessary here in Su Zhen, because Su Zhen¡¯s car is so recognizable. Even without looking at the license plate, the car Su Zhen drove was a genuine military Hummer, which was "retired" from the Wyoming military base. This was the only one in the entire Hot Springs Town. Su Zhen was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had received a ticket since he got his driver's license. What was even more embarrassing was that it was on his own territory. However, the saying that princes break the law and common people are equally guilty may be just a saying in other countries, but in the United States But no, in law enforcement, if the evidence is solid, it doesn't matter who you are, not even the President of the United States. Of course Su Zhen can also refuse, since this is his private territory anyway, and he can directly abolish the traffic rules and regulations in the town.??But that would do no good at all. It would not only undermine his image in the eyes of the townspeople and children, but also make the town's laws ineffective. This is not what Su Zhen wants to see. "Okay, Mr. Police Officer, it's my fault." Su Zhen apologized to this man in embarrassment. "I'm the one who should be sorry. It's such a nice weather. If I punish you, it will definitely affect your interest in playing." The traffic policeman smiled and handed the ticket to Su Zhen and said, "This is a ticket. If you don't have BOSS within three months, If you violate the rules in the town, then this time it is just a warning and you do not need to pay a fine. If you violate it again within three months, you will have to spend money, so BOSS, please do not violate the rules again. Of course, within the scope of the pastoral area, you are free to do so. ". The traffic management authority of the small town police station is limited to a few main roads leading to the outside world, and the rest of the pastoral area can be said to be Su Zhen's private space, and they will not control it. ¡°Okay, thank you,¡± Su Zhen looked at the ticket in his hand and said helplessly. ¡°You¡¯re welcome, this is my duty, boss, just don¡¯t blame me for making you lose face,¡± the traffic policeman teased, and then he and Su Zhen were separated and continued patrolling. "Why aren't there some electronic eyes installed on the road? In recent years, electronic eyes have been installed in China, which is very convenient for law enforcement. However, the United States is supposed to be more developed than the country, but it has always used the manual method of traffic police. Why is this?" Liu Ru looked at it asked the traffic police patrolling in the scorching sun. "Well. Regarding this issue, the U.S. government has actually not thought about it. In fact, someone in the government has calculated that if electronic eyes are installed, each state government can get at least hundreds of millions of dollars in fines to increase fiscal revenue. But in the end the government gave up. I came up with this idea because in the United States, fines are only an educational method and not a purpose. The traffic police directly go to the road to enforce the law. If illegal behavior is discovered, they can directly stop it, and the traffic police will also enforce the law on the illegal vehicles on the road. The vehicle has a warning function to achieve the purpose of educational warning, but the electronic eye is different. It cannot stop it on the spot and can only issue a ticket afterwards, which becomes a means of making money and loses its educational significance." Su Zhen thought for a while. Later, he explained that in fact, he didn't quite understand this strange phenomenon in the United States at first. He believed that electronic eyes could reduce huge labor costs, and that the behavior of the United States was a bit of a waste of manpower. But when Su Zhenyi raised the issue of electronic eyes when the town police station was established, he received objections from everyone present. After some communication, he raised the issue. Only then did I realize that Americans think this way. In contrast, the situation in China is let alone labor costs. Labor costs in the United States are much higher than in China. In fact, civil servants in local governments in the United States are extremely Generally speaking, there are at most two or three civil servants in a small town, and the rest are almost all police officers. In fact, a large part of the fiscal revenue of local governments in most areas is invested in the police system, because the presence of the police in the United States is not just for maintaining law and order. Carry out law enforcement, and more importantly, help people in need. In the United States, if you lose a glove, your pet cannot get down from the tree. You can call the police for problems as big as sewers at home, broken water pipes, etc., and they will be solved, which is something that many countries cannot do. But it is precisely because of this that in the United States, where civil servants are generally underpaid, the income and benefits of police and firefighters are the highest and most stable among government departments. So why does the United States still have such a high crime rate even though it has such a huge police force? According to statistics, the crime rate in the United States is much higher than that of many European countries and domestic countries, but in fact, the United States is much safer than some countries with low crime rates. The vast majority of Chinese people who have lived in the United States feel that the public security in the United States is good. They feel safe most of the time and their vigilance is at a minimum. Some people often forget to lock their car doors in the United States. When they return to the car, they find that the items in the car have not moved at all. Students on university campuses often forget to bring their keys, and later simply go out without locking the door, and there has never been any theft. After returning to China, people around me often get robbed and stolen. What's the mystery in this? First of all, the crime rate statistics method in the United States is different from that in China. In the United States, if you drink alcohol, including beer, in public places (except bars), such as streets and movie theaters, you will be immediately arrested, handcuffed, fingerprinted, and taken to court. This is counted as a crime. Fights and brawls are treated the same way. Once you have an arrest record, unless you hire a lawyer to clear it, you will have to stay in the system for your whole life, and it will be very disadvantageous to find a job and apply for a loan. Therefore, it is almost impossible to see fights on the streets of the United States. In addition, serious speeding and drunk driving are also considered crimes. In China, these are not crimes, but violations. Generally, they are fined or administratively detained according to the Public Security Management Penalty Regulations. They are not included in the crime rate. Moreover, in China, in order to reduce the crime rate, many places often use There is no policy of filing a case, for example, your home was stolen and you only lost a few thousand yuan.Money, basically the police will only come over to take a look, and will not file a case at all, including some scams where the loss is less than 3,000, but it is different in the United States. Let alone a few thousand, you have been defrauded. If you spend a dollar, it will be included in the crime rate statistics. In addition, nearly half of the criminal population in the United States is black, and nearly half of adult black men in the United States have been imprisoned. They generally live in very dilapidated and concentrated poor neighborhoods. Moreover, black people have a characteristic. If they commit crimes at home, they almost never go to white areas or wealthy areas to harass them. Therefore, black areas and white areas in large cities in the United States are often separated by only one street, but they are the difference between paradise and region. For example, in 2005, homicides in Boston surged by 67%, but more than 90% occurred in the three black neighborhoods on the south side. Basically, blacks killed blacks. Other high-end communities in Boston were not affected at all. There is also Chicago. When night falls in Chicago, looking from the high-rise buildings of the University of Chicago to the black district, sporadic gunshots can sometimes be heard, but this does not make Chicagoans feel that life is difficult. And why have black people been unable to make a comeback in the United States more than 100 years after they were liberated? Because they were still torn apart by Europeans in the process of transforming from primitive society to slave society, and forced them to enter modern society. Black people entered the United States at a loss without developing their own culture and traditions. Historically, there were no republics established by black people in Africa before World War II; black people had almost no tangible works or civilizational achievements; there were no major battles dominated by black people in history; except for the civil rights movement and sports records, black people did not contribute to history in any way. . So today, to a large extent, black people have become a stubborn disease in American society. If black men develop because of music and sports, they will definitely marry a white woman to show their social status, such as Simpson. If black women become prosperous, such as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the Bush administration, most of them will choose to be single because they really can't find a black man who can match them. So although black people have been liberated for more than a hundred years, to this day, the proportion of black-white intermarriage in the United States is still very low. ¡°Corresponding to poor neighborhoods is the safety and stability of high-end communities. In these places, some police officers are so fat that they cannot walk. They bend down and cannot touch their own feet. Of course, in an independent residential area surrounded by green lawns and flowers, you can live without locking the door. So in many American movies, it's not surprising that people enter other people's homes and feel like they're in a deserted place. There are not many poor neighborhoods in the United States. Most of them are near the city centers of big cities. High-end communities are the mainstream, especially Chinese communities, which can be said to be one of the safest places in the United States. ¡°In the United States, it¡¯s not that there are no thieves, but stupid thieves can sweep away the thieves. Compared with China¡¯s hand-chopping party, speeding car party, and head-banging party, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes. There are basically no pickpockets in the United States. Americans are so stupid that they don't have the ability to take out a living person's wallet? It is precisely because of the safety factor in the United States that super rich people like Buffett dare to drive alone without even a bodyguard, and the place where they live is basically undefended. ¡° Moreover, the alarm system in the United States is very developed. Basically, in urban and rural areas, three types of police cars can arrive at the scene. Equipped with long guns and short cannons, they can shoot when they need to be fired, without any ambiguity. Unlike the domestic security police, who sometimes don't even have a gun when faced with troublemakers, they still have to persuade and educate. Although there are more than 200 million guns scattered among the people in the United States, and shootings occur from time to time, they are scattered across the vast land. Generally speaking, social security is very safe among large countries. At least I have never heard of someone rushing into a police station with a kitchen knife and hacking to death several police officers. In contrast, some countries with crime rates that are not as high as the United States are actually more dangerous. However, this aspect in the United States is not without its drawbacks, and the biggest drawback is that these are all based on the financial support of local governments. Once local government finances have problems, the treatment of the police will be affected, and the treatment of the police will be affected. It will lead to the loss of police force and work dissipation, and create a vicious cycle. The best example is Stockton, one of the largest cities in the United States, which later led to law and order chaos due to the bankruptcy of local government.
