Huyai, haasi matangi, imotokari dzekununura. Uye iwo, uh, magirinedhi anovhura aingozoshandiswa kuburitsa magaba eteargas. Pazvinenge zvakakodzera. Uye iyo M-16s? Standard police issue.
Rwendo rwakadini ava vechidiki veLos Angeles, neboka rekodzero dzevanhu Kurwira Mweya weMaguta, aifanira, kubva ipapo - iyo ho-hum kururamiswa na (Ishe akanaka) mapurisa edunhu rechikoro cheguta, pakuunganidza zvombo zvakasara zveDhipatimendi reDziviriro - kusvika pano:
“Musangano wedu watichangobva kuita uye nhaurirano waita kuti ndiongorore zviito zvangu seMutungamiriri weBoard panguva yakaoma iyi. Pakufungisisa, ndakakundikana kunzwisisa kuwanda kwemarwadzo uye kuvhiringidzika kubatanidzwa kwedu muchirongwa che1033 chinogona kukonzera munharaunda uye kunyanya nevatinoshanda navo kubva kuDignity in Schools Campaign uye Hondo yeMweya weMaguta. . . .”
Aya ndiwo mazwi eLos Angeles School Board President Steve Zimmer, achitaura mukurwadziwa chaiko sezvaanobvuma kuti mapurisa edunhu rechikoro ane mhirizhonga ane, kutaura zvinyoro, rutivi rwakakomba. Anoenderera mberi, mutsamba yake mwedzi wapera kuLabour/Community Strategy Center, sangano revabereki reFight for the Soul of the Cities:
"Ini zvino ndinonzwisisa kuti kunyanya mumamiriro ezvinhu emakakatanwa mazhinji pakati pevatevedzeri vemitemo uye nharaunda dzine mavara munyika yose, kutora kwedu chikamu muchirongwa ichi kunogona kunge kwakagadzira maonero pamusoro pebasa redunhu redu nemapurisa echikoro chedu izvo kunyarara kwangu kwakawedzera. . . . Ini zvino ndinonzwisisa kuti kunyangwe kuve kwezvombo zvakadaro mumamiriro ezvinhu enguva ino kwakakuvadza kuvimba uko isu tese tinofanira kushanda kuvaka patsva. Ndapota gamuchirai ruregerero rwangu. . . .”
Uku kukunda kunoshamisa - pamwe kwekutanga kwerudzi rwayo munyika.
Iko kukunda kwekodzero dzevanhu. Kukunda kwevana. Asi zvakanyanya, kukunda kwehungwaru hwakakwana. Dhipatimendi reMapurisa eChikoro cheLos Angeles - mapurisa ane basa rekuchengetedza kurongeka muzvikoro zveveruzhinji - akadzosa zvombo zvese, zvinosanganisira magirinedhi, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (kureva, tangi) uye 61 M-16 otomatiki. pfuti, iyo yakanga yawana pasi pechirongwa chakanetsana che1033, kuUnited States Department of Defense.
Yakapa ufakazi hwokuti yakadaro. Uye yakakumbira ruregerero - kuvana nevechiri kuyaruka muLos Angeles Public Schools. Kukumbira ruregerero kwaiva kubvuma - o, zvisingawanzoitiki muzana remakore rechi21 America - kuti kurongeka kwechokwadi haisi nyaya yekutonga nezvombo. Kwaiva kubvuma kuti dzidzo inoda kuvimba uye kuvimba kunoparadzwa nekuonekwa kwehudzvanyiriri hwemauto.
Kurwisana neSchool Board pamusoro peizvi kwakatanga muna 2014, nguva pfupi mushure mekunge nhengo dzeboka rekodzero dzevanhu dzaenda kuFerguson, Mo., kuratidza kubatana nekuratidzira pamusoro pekupfura kwemapurisa kwaMichael Brown.
"Takadzoka kubva kuFerguson uye toona kuti vane tangi, magirinedhi - kwaive kuziviswa kwehondo," Manuel Criollo, director wesangano kuFight for the Soul of the Cities, akandiudza.
Uye saka akatanga anenge makore maviri ekugara-mukati uye kuratidzira. Mazana evadzidzi akatora chikamu. Vakaramba kubvumirana pane zvisina kufanira kana kuti kugamuchira hafu-nhano kubva kuBhodi reChikoro. "Vakatanga kubvisa magirinedhi," akadaro Criollo. “Munguva yechando ya2014, vakabvisa tangi reMRAP. Pakazosvika gore ra2015, vakapokana kuti M-16 yakanga iri chombo chemapurisa. Vakati, 'Hatisisina zvombo zvehondo' - kunyangwe M-16 ichionekwa sechombo chine utsinye neRed Cross."
Asi vadzidzi havana kukanda mapfumo pasi. Apo Bhodhi reChikoro rakazoti rabvisa zvombo zvaro zveDhipatimendi reDziviriro, vakanga vasati vagutsikana. Vaida humbowo . . . uye kukumbira ruregerero. Pamusangano webhodhi muna Kukadzi wapfuura, "varatidziri vakataura pamusoro peChipikirwa cheKuremekedza uye vakadaidzira kuti inzwikwe rimwe bhizinesi risati raenderera mberi," maererano ne Los Angeles Times. Musangano wakamiswa.
Uye humbowo hwakazouya, uye ndizvo zvakaitawo kubvuma kunoshamisa kwaSteve Zimmer kuti mauto echikoro chipurisa chaive chikanganiso, kukanganisa hunhu husingaonekwe uye hwakakosha hunodaidzwa kuti kuvimbana - kukanganisa hukama hwechikoro nenharaunda dzavaishandira.
Sezvandaiverenga tsamba yake yekukumbira ruregerero, ndinokudza kutendeseka kwayo kunorwadza - "Ndakakundikana kunzwisisa kuwanda kwemarwadzo uye kushungurudzika kubatanidzwa kwedu muchirongwa che1033 kunogona kukonzera munharaunda" - asi panguva imwe chete ndinonzwa kupererwa kunoshamisa kuti zvakadaro. chisarudzo chakaitwa pakutanga. Chokwadi, pandinoramba ndichifunga nezvazvo, ndipo pandinowedzera kutsemura mwoyo wangu. Hongu, hongu, ndinonzwisisa kuti kuchengetedza kurongeka muchikoro cheguta guru ibasa rakaoma zvikuru, rakaoma, asi . . . kutsvaga matangi nemagirinedhi?
Zviri pachena kuti rubatsiro rwega runobva kuhurumende yenyika nderwemauto. Kune zero rugare kuziva padanho iri, zero nhungamiro kunze kwekugadzirira hondo.
Sezvakataurwa naCriollo, Dhipatimendi reMapurisa reLos Angeles (iro rakaparadzana neDhipatimendi reMapurisa reChikoro cheLos Angeles) uye Dhipatimendi reLos Angeles County Sheriff rine zviuru zveM-16s nemimwe michina - MRAPs, chikopokopo - kubva kuChirongwa che1033.
"Semaonero edu, vakangwarira kuti vaende kuhondo nevanhu vavo," akadaro. “Tiri kurarama munyika isingatipe basa, kwete kuisa mari mudzidzo. Asi mabhiriyoni akaiswa mari mumauto. Izvi zvinoratidza pavanonyanya kukoshesa. Ndinofunga kuti varega kubatsira nharaunda kubuda muhurombo.”
Handifunge kuti nyika yarasika gwara, asi ndinofunga kuti hurumende yarasika.
