Interview with a policeman from America. Part II

- You say there are good ones, there are bad ones. We take a well-known example - New York, Harlem, "even the police do not go there." I suspect that citizens living in this neighborhood are not inclined to communicate with the authorities, i.e. if they killed someone, they themselves figure it out. If the police arrived, they won’t talk. Accordingly, the patrol is not called, it is not. This is true? Or are you really afraid?

- The police are not afraid of anyone. The problem is mutual responsibility, when you come, you know perfectly well what happened in front of these 50 people. Everything is in the streets there in the evening, life begins after sunset, half of the population does not work anywhere, for generations they sit on benefits and earn extra money. There are areas where public housing, for which they do not pay, live for free. Some can not find work because the crisis. Some cannot work because they are crippled, and some do not want to. I can’t say who the majority are, but usually you see a bad crowd.

If something happens, the policeman comes first, you fly after him. Further ambulance, firefighters, to provide travel for them, to think about the safety of these services and their, of course, too. There is a crowd, no one will say anything, but then they will call because a reward has been announced for the information.

- At one time, I was struck by the inscription on the taxi: if you saw or know about the attempt on the policeman, call here, 20,000 dollars.

- Probably something happened in the city at this moment, usually they don’t write it.

-You arrived, lies shot. Are not you afraid that they will start firing at you? Be aggressive, try to take away the gun?

-Maybe it was once.

-So what? Open a quick fire?

-Not. The situation was not good, they stunned me, tried to pull out a weapon, but woke up in time, did not give. Teach well.

-You have to shoot in the air?

-No in the air. If something threatens life, you shoot right away for defeat, no one in the legs and arms. Stop the threat. They threaten you, they try to kill you - that's all. He touched the gun - that's it. The man signed a sentence.

And now it's generally good - everyone has cameras. Many hated them, shouting: “the big eye of the big brother is watching us!” Great thing, because you are accused of anything. You called me a bad word, you beat me, you grabbed me! And everything on the camera - both sound and image. Every day after the change you come, connected to the computer, downloaded.

Naturally, you need to follow the bazaar, follow the instructions, everything is written there. There is even an instruction on how to put handcuffs on, in what position the detainee should be in order not to be mutilated. Of course, it is desirable to have a numerical superiority, but if not, then here is the instruction, act on it.

-And the police come quickly?

-Sure. Everyone who is, they drop everything and fly. The roads there are a little better, not everywhere, but better. When you turn on the emergency lights - everyone should stop, and turn to the right. If there are 2 lines and a parking lot on the street, all cars must go right and get up. Fire, ambulance, police are flying. If you do not stop, a fine of up to $ 1,000. I loved to write out these fines. Pleasant ...

You are driving along the street, a fire is flying. I get up, even stop at the police car. It’s more important, and then there’s a truck, it weighs over 20 tons, it will hit by accident, it will not seem enough. And behind him the car was attached, it’s good for her! And the road is empty, the driver is happy. Turned around, pressed, a fine.

- How many times they say, our media show - the American police brutally eliminated blacks - young and not so. Why are they so actively felled?

-Every situation is different. It happens, they knock over by chance, it happens, for the cause. The problem is, the first principle of American jurisprudence: you are not guilty until proven guilty - you are not guilty until proven. For some reason, recently, newspapers, politicians consider it possible to violate this rule, the sign “bastard, bastard, racist, murderer” is immediately hung up.

- Like with Rodney King, when a piece of the video was uploaded and riots started, and then it turned out that everything was wrong ...

- It was like that, there was a terrible thing - bad training. They simply were not taught how to control such characters. They tried to do as they were trained - it did not work. He was shot at by the Tazers 2 times, and he was so pumped up to the eyebrows with something that did not work. Plus, the old days, not such effective means.

-And Taser hit hard?

-Cuts out completely. It doesn’t matter how small or large you are, but depending on how much chemistry you have in your blood. Some chemistry takes away the feeling of pain, PCP, for example. You can break your arm, a person will laugh. On PCP, the most unpleasant communication, you do not know what to expect, what to do. You need a lot of people, just crush the mass. They wrap them with special things, they can break the handcuffs, or pull out a hand along with the skin, this happened.

-Citizens are discussing on the Internet, the coolest experts are sitting there. "Here you goofs, have piled up in every possible way, here are idiots."

-If you know better, try, go through everything, work, it doesn’t matter, here, there. Then say, discussing football the next morning on the couch, and being there when you need to make a decision in a split second are two different things. You have a second to make a decision - to shoot, not to shoot, to beat, not to hit, to grab, to miss. Rarely, when there is time to prepare, settle down.

-And the process itself? The citizen who interests you is traveling, attached ...

- I got in behind, turned on the flasher, yelling into the microphone, but it is usually useless on the road, the sound goes back. Just attract attention, stopped right away - no problem. You approach, you leave. We must get up so that the other car does not get knocked down, a lot of policemen die like that.

If there is a partner, well, he is on the one hand, you are on the other, on the side, not behind. The driver can pass back, and you will find yourself between a rock and a hard place. And so, even if he leaves - it's okay, into the car - and after him. Plus you can clearly see what is happening in the car, what he does with his hands, and they do different things.

He came up. You go carefully, see how many passengers. If 5-6 people are inside, you choose yourself whether you are approaching the driver, or standing at the rear window and controlling everyone, see what they are doing, what is in their hands. Maybe they have the Kalashnikovs there.

It happens. A friend stopped the car, there are three in the back seat, all with rifles, law-abiding. They put their hands on the seat and forgot that they had weapons. They carefully pulled them out of the car, laid them all out, looked at the rifles, the R-15 was, one is prehistoric, I have never seen one like that.

- Did they break something? And then what?

-You ask for rights, insurance, however, now you can’t ask for it if there is no accident.

According to the setting. If a person is normal, goes to work, well, he has a broken taillight, this is a violation - an administrative fine of $ 40, garbage. Writing a piece of paper is a fine. He does not have to pay these $ 40, can fix, bring, show to any police officer, a clerk in court, and will pay only $ 5 for paper scribble. If he is rude, impudent, waves his hands, speaks badly - I will find 5 violations, not a problem. The transport code for this is written, anything can be found.

- It affects many citizens. He is about his rights, and you punish him even more, how so?

-There is a Constitution, it ensures the rights of citizens. There is a criminal code. And the road code. You have 27 rights, and about 13,000 articles, I don’t remember how much exactly. Let's say you violated the rules of the road. But the Criminal Code also has a part of the Road Code. Suppose you have violated something related to drugs, this is the “Safety and Health” separate code. Anyway, the same criminal offense, just by a different code.

Several codes, and you know what to write at the end, for example, a stolen car or a car was taken with weapons, robbed of people by force, already a criminal code.

Many are sure that they gave you a badge and a gun, consider, a license to kill, go and "I am the law", I - the law. But you must be a professional, the person you meet is not a criminal. And even some criminals are absolutely normal people who have violated some nonsense. If a person is absolutely calm, knows that he has violated, admits, excuse me, bind me, here are my hands. Why beat him if he is absolutely adequate?

Another situation: a man runs, you chase him, you are angry like a dog, because you have to jump over the fence, tear your pants, bulldogs jump at you, there is usually a pit bull in every yard, barbed wire on the fences, barred windows. Tear your hands in the blood, lose the clock. I caught up, he resists, you use all the training and experience, you write in the report: I applied what was taught at the academy, put my hands there, pressed it there.

You try not to hit, especially so that there are no traces, but if he hits you, you answer specifically. Even in the instructions there is a rule, you can hit in the face, if necessary. It is necessary to distract, a small power strike in the face, then grab your hands.

The dust settled, it was shaken off, sitting in the car. If adequate, says “was wrong. Sorry". You give him a cigarette, the last cigarette for a lot of time, because you can’t smoke in the prison.

-True?

Yes, a healthy lifestyle is the most important thing.

-In America they like to settle on a national basis. Here are black, there are Vietnamese, here are Chinese. And you are white, Russian, how do you communicate with them? Do you know spanish Do I need to learn languages? Is there a premium for this?

- There are allowances, only you need to pass the test. I paid a premium for Russian. I used it 3 times in 20 years, they invited me as a translator when they caught someone from Russia.

- Is there organized crime there?

-There is a separate unit. Firstly, Mexican crime, Latin American, there are nortenos - these are northerners, surenos - these are southerners, there are border brothers, border brothers. Today they are together, tomorrow against each other. The meat grinder goes all the time. He comes with a red scarf, in a red hat, and the other, in a blue hat, sees him, and shooting started. The problem with the gangsters. They are called gangsta. Some military men arrived from one state to another, transferred the child to school nearby. He put on his favorite football team uniform.

An hour later, the principal calls the mother, he sits in the office, is hidden, the police were called, the children tried to kill him. By the way, grade 5. So it happens.

With Mexico, trouble, as soon as the fight against drugs was announced, drug trafficking there increased by several orders of magnitude, a civil war began. Victims are already under 100 thousand people over the past 15 years, the federals are being destroyed, they are caught by whole buses, and then their heads are left on bridges. People do not have weapons, it is prohibited by law, but cartels have almost tanks. They are fighting with local government troops. Some states are almost completely controlled by them, mainly along the border - the same El Paso, Tijuana.

-Yes, the news from them is scary: here 200 people were stabbed to death, 100 are here, their heads were cut off, some bloggers were hanged on the bridge with the posters “I spoke out against the Gulf cartel”, madness. This is an article on the Black Sun.

- Uncontrolled, yes. Well, interestingly, I like to travel to Puerto Vallarta, my favorite place in Mexico, an earthly paradise, a beautiful city, an old one. And safe, there's a policeman on every corner. The resorts are excellent, cleanliness, taxi drivers, all with signs, will not let anyone else into the territory. Where the hotel complex itself, on this side is a naval base, on the other hand is an army base, armored cars stand with machine guns at the entrance, everything is serious. It rests perfectly, the ocean is quiet, banderas bay, funky fish food, whales arrive, dolphins jump.

And next to the city of Guadalajara, 100 km literally, a little east. Another life is boiling there. Throw grenades, shoot from RPGs. There was an explosion, just a week after we left.

For the most part, Mexicans do not want to collect strawberries and plow in the fields, because in one day of drug trafficking you can earn as much as a farm worker does in a month, working from dawn until dusk. That is the main problem.

-For the mass of our citizens, the United States of America is a projection of paradise, where everything is magnificent and wonderful.

-Not certainly in that way. In the past 8 years, there was chaos, just a guard, hair stood on end, which was happening at the highest level, namely in law enforcement agencies. Obama planted his people in all structures: Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, they did this, they completely forgot the word “law”. The law of the jungle ruled, it was impossible to reach this law, they used the tax in the political struggle, if a person, a republican, does not agree with politics, the tax immediately comes, even if everything is fine, but the nerves are shaking.

It's nice that there is the same thing. The use by the authorities of the police, without blinking an eye on you, these people will poison the tax, liquidate the business. Everything is like ours

-Just there the scales are different, there is more money, there is something to cut, something to hold on to. The governor of California has a salary of approximately $ 400,000 a year. In fact, in California you can’t buy a house for less than half a million. But if a person spends 25 million on the election campaign ...

Where does he get them?

-Even if he has them. But the salary will be 400, this is capitalism, money should work. You have invested 25, you will be 4 years governor. 400 to 4 is a million six hundred. Where are the remaining 23,400? They are also sawing budgets, but at least something else is being done. There are roads, there is light in the streets, gas, water. But a cataclysm happened, and showed that the infrastructure is no good. It was necessary to invest in it, in future voters.

-Returning back. For example, we once had secret orders, for example, not to hire Asians and Caucasians, especially in St. Petersburg, in Moscow. But Soviet power ended, and huge flows of Asians, Caucasians poured into the cities, where they play roughly the role of Mexicans, provide the need for megacities for cheap labor.

But suddenly it turned out that we had to work with them, without asking who is white, who is black. And the operative officer of the Slav with the Chechen boys has nothing in common. You don’t know the language, it was born not there, the customs are different, but if you want it, you don’t want it, you need to take people of other nationalities to the service, find a common language.

And in the States how?

-Main thing, go through all the selections ...

-You can talk on equal terms with a black man, so that he talks to you like a man, maybe he hates you?

-Certainly can.

- Do you understand what blacks say?

-Something I understand, something not. It's like a Russian rap, also not everyone understands correctly, you need to listen. They have their own jargons, the language is called ebonix, they are going to recognize it as the third state, but have not yet recognized it.

I treated everyone at work exactly until a person specifically got me something, it doesn’t matter - colleagues, clients. At first he worked as a patrol officer, then for almost 8 years as a forensic specialist. He traveled to all corpses, sometimes he was alone in the city. And there are 3 shootings for half an hour at different ends, just have time to spin.

You have to do everything professionally, quickly. But ... now I spent 5 minutes instead of 20, in 5 years you’ll sit in court, give evidence, sweat hail, lawyers will spit on you. All the time you need to remember, keep up, but not in a hurry.

-And they put a lot of policemen?

In my time, when I was already serving, two were fired on probation, they put one of the parallel departments, but purely politically, for a short time. And one shot himself.

- Our employees are put in separate camps, and in prisons they also sit separately. And in America?

-Differently. When the preliminary investigation, they sit separately, but still spend some part of the time with the other prisoners, on walks, for example.

-And how about mortality?

-Who I knew, two were sitting - nothing, they went out. What really happened to them, I don’t know, came out alive.

-In San Quentin prison, the best, they say, in the United States is surgery for stabbing, stabbing wounds, there prisoners worked out specific tactics, they even make weapons from toothbrushes, and then you have to jump on the victim and quickly and quickly do it pierce more times.

- I never wanted to work in prison. San Quentin is a federal prison, just like Alcatraz, Santa Rita is already a state prison. Soledad is generally darkness, just lawlessness. Friends-investigators went there to interrogate someone, arrived in horror, did not expect that such disgrace was going on inside. There is not enough security, the state needs to pay, but there is no money.
