SUMMER ONSLAUGHT
Continuing on from Mr. Serpico, I decided to go out on a limb and ask for an interview with the current SWAT Sergeant for the v2d area of EvoCity. To my surprise, he accepted. I was not permitted to take photographs of him and his associates, though I was given his name. I conducted an interview asking him about the rising levels of crime, reported by our new journalist Francesco Serpico, and he was more than willing to provide answers to my questions.
Q: Have you noticed an increase in violent crime as summer approaches?
A: Yes. I feel that the hot weather has not helped with the recent behaviour of many people. There have been a lot more gun related crimes recently.
Q: Obviously, this is America. We have the right to bear arms - but if we were to implement gun control into the laws of this state, do you think this would help lower the crime rates?
A: No. I think crime rates would increase. My reason for this is that people need to have guns in order to defend themselves should the EC : PD or garrisoned SWAT units not be able to respond rapidly, and I see no problem with this. Usually, there's not as many calls. Should 'gun control' be put in place, I believe it would do the reverse - crime rate would increase, rather than decrease.
Q: How do you and your team deal with gun related crimes? Are you ruthless, preferring to shoot first and ask questions later? Or do you try to use non-lethal tactics to subdue suspects first?
A: I prefer non-lethal tactics. But if I am shot at, I will shoot back. My personal motto is: Only shoot if shot at.
Q: Finally, do you believe there is any hope at all for reducing the alarming amount of crime committed in EvoCity?
A: Yes and no. Yes because if we continue killing and detaining the criminals behind these offences, there will be no more people to commit these crimes. No because it is currently a bad time of the year.
This interview was conducted with the SWAT Sergeant, known as Harry 'Basic' Walshie. He covers many good points. I'd like to thank him and other members of the present government for letting me conduct this interview.
Ironically, during our interview, he had to respond to calls of a shootout between two gangs that had erupted in the slums area.
Signing off.
