Roque waited for Philip to return to Johannesburg before he had time to meet Su Xian. There was no need to ask for talents, and he did not greet Su Xian. After Roque met Su Xian, he did not even directly arrange Su Xian's work, but sent Su Xian to Su Xian.
Xian left it to Buck to arrange it. This was Buck's job. It was inconvenient for Rock and he didn't want to interfere.
For a very simple reason, if Rock interferes with Su Xian's arrangements, if there is a problem with Su Xian's work in the future, Buck may not be able to handle it because of Rock's face. Of course Rock will not make such a mistake.
In the past two days, Roque has actually been quite busy. Not only did he have to deal with the affairs of the police station, but he also had to deal with the pressure from the Board of Education.
Johannesburg established an education committee last year, and its chairman is Douglas.
Rock has always had a good relationship with the Board of Education because of Ziwei Public School.
But during the recent period, because Douglas was busy with the construction of the medical school, he did not have much time to take care of the Education Committee, and then there was a problem on the Education Committee.
The initial trigger of the incident was the Public Security Management Regulations promulgated two years ago.
This "Public Security Management Regulations" was formulated by Roque based on his memory. It was originally just a temporary regulation. However, after the establishment of the Johannesburg Municipal Government, Philip felt that this "Public Security Management Regulations" was quite good, so it was implemented as a fixed law.
In the "Public Security Management Regulations", there are different punishment provisions for different criminal acts. This punishment has upper and lower limits to facilitate law enforcement officers to flexibly control.
It is this flexible control that causes problems, such as the most common fights. According to the "Public Security Management Regulations": Those who beat others, or intentionally harm others' bodies, will be sentenced to more than 60 hours and less than 120 hours of public service, and will also be fined not less than one pound and five dollars.
A fine of not more than 500 pounds; if the circumstances are relatively minor, a fine of not more than 60 hours of public service, or a fine of not more than 5 pounds.
Public service is a punitive measure. Usually it means sweeping the streets, which is tiring but not tiring. The key is humiliation and loss of face, so many people would rather accept a refund than accept public service punishment.
What needs to be emphasized is that the enforcement power of this "Public Security Management Regulations" does not lie with the courts, but with the police stations, so the problem arises.
In Johannesburg, if a Chinese violates the Public Security Management Regulations, in most cases the penalty imposed by the police station is the minimum.
If a white person or an African violates the "Public Security Management Regulations", in most cases, the penalty imposed by the police station will be based on the maximum limit.
If such sentences and punishments are dealt with separately, then there will be no problem. The police station's handling method is reasonable and legal, and no one can fault it. However, if a conflict breaks out between Chinese and white people, then this kind of differential treatment will be quite glaring.
When Rock was still in Nyasaland, a fight occurred between Chinese and white people in Johannesburg. The police eventually arrived and took all participants back to the police station. After that, all Chinese who participated in the fight were fined one pound for participating.
White people who got into fights were all sentenced to 120 hours of public service and fined five pounds.
At that time, the penalty result did not cause controversy. However, after Roque returned to Johannesburg, the penalty result was learned by William Temple, a member of the Johannesburg Education Committee. After Roque returned to Johannesburg, a public crusade against the police station quietly began.
occur.
Initially, William Temple wrote an article commenting on the Policing Regulations, which was published in the Liberal Party's party newspaper, the Free Press, and then a debate broke out about the Johannesburg Police Service and the Policing Regulations.
Unfortunately, the Johannesburg Police Department did not notice this situation at the time. As a result, by the time Owen reminded Roque, even Pretoria began to discuss the "Public Security Management Regulations", and Ade had already noticed this problem.
This is beyond Rock's control.
On April 1st, Ade summoned Roque to Pretoria and asked Roque to explain the "Public Security Management Regulations".
"Is this an April Fool's joke? We are so busy at work, but we have to come to explain this nonsense to the Governor. What does Lord Fawalt think of this matter?" before Rock walked into the Palace of Justice.
, and still in the mood to joke with Henry.
Rock had to give Ade an explanation, and Henry certainly couldn't run away, because the "Public Security Management Regulations" used by the Johannesburg Police Department were also used by the Pretoria Police Department.
This "Public Security Management Regulations" was originally created by Rock and Henry together.
"No opinion. In Pretoria, everyone who breaks the law is treated equally, and Lord Nyasala will not be treated differently because of skin color. I have to say, you are quite fierce. White people all over the world discriminate against people of color. In
In Johannesburg, white people are discriminated against. If I were you, I would not be in the mood to joke." Henry looked at Roark sideways, as if he wanted to see a good show.
"This is what you said. In fact, white people are not discriminated against, and people of color are not taken care of. Johannesburg is a city where white people and yellow people, black people and black people want to get along. There is no distinction between each other at all." Roque certainly does not.
Acknowledge that you are actually white, otherwise this incident will have repercussions all over the world.
It is not just Rock who thinks there is no discrimination in Johannesburg. Philip, Owen, Douglas, etc., etc., except for some people with ulterior motives, the vast majority of people in Johannesburg believe that there is absolutely no discrimination against white people in Johannesburg.
Henry was actually joking with Rock when he said this.
"It's useless for you to tell me this. The main thing is that the Governor wants to listen to your explanation." Henry seemed to be preparing to watch the fire from the other side.
"Haha" Rock smiled without saying a word, wanting to stay out of the matter?
Don’t even think about it!
Sure enough, when Ade saw Rock and Henry, once he started spraying, it would be indiscriminate firepower.
"You have a brain like a pig! Look at the things you did. I thought you two were quite smart and had full trust in you. But this is how you repaid me. Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?" Ade gushed first.
After scolding continuously for ten minutes, neither Rock nor Henry spoke. This is Ade's habit. Without letting Ade vent his anger first, Rock and Henry would have no chance to explain.
"Now, I need an explanation from both of you!" Ade finally scolded him. He took a sip of coffee and straightened his clothes. He leaned back in his chair and looked at his two capable men.
This is not an exaggeration. As far as the current Transvaal is concerned, apart from Philip, the only officials who can be trusted by Adelaide may be Roque and Henry.
This is of course also because only Ade, Philip, Rock, and Henry hold titles in the Transvaal. From this perspective, it is true that only the four of them have the closest relationship with Britain.
Roque and Henry exchanged a look, and then Henry sold Roque backhand: "My lord, there is no such situation in Pretoria."
Under normal circumstances, both viscount and baron have the same title, "Lord".
Rock remained silent. Henry's behavior of betraying his teammates was what Ade disliked the most. Unfortunately, Henry thought he could stay out of it.
Haha, simple!
Sure enough, Ade became even more angry after hearing what Henry said: "Stupid! The "Public Security Management Regulations" are used in Johannesburg, but not in Pretoria? If this scandal spreads, you will be the Pretoria Police Department
Can you get rid of suspicion? When other people talk about this issue, they will not target the Johannesburg Police Department, but the entire Transvaal as a whole. If you don't understand, then you might as well go to the Education Committee."
This is a good suggestion. If Ade hadn't been so angry, Rock would have applauded.
Henry's face turned into pig liver.
"My Lord, when the police department makes a penalty, it decides the outcome based on the facts, not the skin color. The cause of this incident was a fight between Chinese and white people. Even the level of 'conflict' is not included.
No, it was just a few drunken drunks going crazy at night. The reason for this result was not that the result was different just because of skin color, as some people said, but because that night, there were drunk white people.
They took the initiative to cause trouble, and a physical conflict broke out between them. Strictly speaking, because the Chinese were not the perpetrators, they did not even have any responsibility. On the contrary, it was because of their skin color that they were punished together." Roque took the initiative to explain, as for the Chinese
Whether the truth is what Roark said is not important.
When handling public security cases in Johannesburg, everyone will not fight the same issue, but the party responsible will bear full responsibility.
If both parties in the disputed fight were white, then perhaps only the offending party would be punished and the other party would not bear any responsibility.
Of course, this is a solution stipulated by law. As for whether it will be carried out in strict accordance with the provisions of the law in actual implementation, there is an applicable principle, and the specific situation must be analyzed in detail.
"So, there is no problem with the Johannesburg Police Department?" Ade's eyes were sharp.
"No, there is a problem with the Johannesburg Police Department. The fundamental reason why this happened is that the Johannesburg Police Department did not publicize the Public Security Management Regulations enough, resulting in citizens not fully understanding the Public Security Management Regulations and not knowing that they were violating the Public Security Management Regulations.
serious consequences, so similar incidents occurred. After the incident, the Johannesburg Police Department is strengthening publicity in this regard. It is necessary to let everyone fully understand the consequences of violating the "Public Security Management Regulations". In future law enforcement, the Police Department
We will be more vigilant, strictly enforce the law in accordance with the provisions of the Public Security Management Regulations, and accept public supervision." Luo Ke spoke righteously.
Listen, this is the correct attitude when facing problems.
