Zhengming District Public Security Bureau, Publicity Section
"Hey, this is a general trend. Nowadays, videos are going viral on the Internet. We can't stop it, and there's nothing we can do to stop it." Wu Zhiyong, the head of the Publicity Section, sat slumped in a chair, looking at the teacup in his hand, and sighed.
Zeng Hong rubbed his hands and asked: "Usually, how do we deal with this kind of police-related public opinion in our bureau?"
Wu Zhiyong glanced at it: "It's almost the same. Didn't we just hold a meeting with Director Zhang and decide on a solution? Basically, this is the process."
"This is resignation!"
Wu Zhiyong: “It’s all done this way to maintain stability.”
Zeng Hong glanced at Chen Shu, who had been sitting silently on the sofa: "Is there really nothing you can do?"
Wu Zhiyong sighed: "Compared with the public security and official media, which are criticized by the public, netizens believe in those big Internet celebrities. Now unless a big V comes out to support us, there is nothing we can do."
Zeng Hong wanted to try again: "Old Wu, aren't you familiar with those reporters and big Vs? Let them come out and help?"
"Zeng Jiao, where are you thinking? I only have business dealings with them at work, there is no personal relationship. Besides, we are now being attacked by a large number of netizens on the Internet. Who dares to jump out and support us at this time?
They don't dare to take this kind of case, and maybe even they themselves will be sprayed to death by the saliva of netizens. They just rely on this to make a living, and they will only take advantage of the trend to get some fan bonuses, and they don't dare to go against this trend."
Zeng Hong said shamelessly: "Old Wu, you are also a public security cadre, so you can respect them by calling them. Anyway, why don't you give them a try?"
"No, in their eyes, we are just clerks. No one will care about us." Wu Zhiyong waved his hand quickly.
The office suddenly became quiet.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that problems that could not be solved in the previous meeting in Bureau Zhang's office could be solved in the publicity department of this small branch.
Zeng Hong was also anxious and sought medical treatment, so he found Wu Zhiyong, an old classmate with whom he had participated in the police academy training when he was transferred to the army.
In fact, for Chen Shu, he did not expect that the matter would develop to such a serious level. He originally only had the idea of punishing him as a big deal, but during the conversation between Zeng Hong and Wu Zhiyong, he understood that the handling of public opinion involving the police this time
, most likely ending with his removal from office.
After all, this is how public opinion has been handled in the past.
Public opinion will not sit down with you and slowly reason with it. Once public opinion occurs, the only thing the public security organs can do is to quickly put it out in the shortest possible time before the social influence further brews into disaster.
As for how to put it out?
It's very simple, just to introduce a scapegoat as an outlet for the people to vent.
Maintaining stability is the most important thing.
After Chen Shu thought it over in his heart, he no longer wanted Zeng Hong to pretend to be begging in front of others. He glanced at the other party and prepared to stand up and leave.
At this time, a young police officer hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. He glanced at Chen Shu who was sitting there and looked a little excited.
"Chief Wu, check out "Yang Shuo News" on Douyin! The latest program has comments about us! It's about Officer Chen!"
When several people heard this, they suddenly became interested, and they all took out their mobile phones and opened the software to search.
Judging from the excitement of this young police officer, it shouldn't be bad news!
"Hello everyone, I am your old friend Yang Yang. Today I received a piece of news from the provincial capital. A case of home invasion and robbery resulting in death occurred in the provincial capital (de). The suspect was a criminal who committed the crime randomly.
The murderer was an expectant mother who was still three months pregnant."
Having said this, Zhang Yang paused for a moment, and the camera gave the host a close-up. Her eye circles were red and swollen, and there were still some tears on her snow-white cheeks. She clearly looked like she had just cried.
"The woman who died was actually an ordinary person like you and me. She was even carrying a baby in her belly that had never seen this world. We cannot stop this dark tragedy, let alone undo it."
Everything on the screen showed a man wearing a white coat, standing outside the window with his hands on his hips, looking indifferently below.
"He is the murderer! I don't know why he can be so calm and indifferent after breaking into a house and killing people! Doesn't he know that his hands are stained with the blood of innocent people?"
The screen switched back to Zhang Yang.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Friends, don't underestimate the evil of human nature."
Raising his hands to wipe away his tears, Zhang Yang took a few deep breaths, stabilized his emotions, and said seriously: "I also received a piece of news from our Dongzhou City this morning. Well, the police beat someone, and our Dongzhou City police were in Dazhongguang Courtyard.
Then, he hit people with the steel pipe once, again, and again. So, who was he hitting?"
At this time, a woman wearing a black coat and a mosaic on her head walked into the camera. Zhang Yang handed the microphone to the other party: "Hello, can you tell me what happened?"
The woman nodded: "When I was home alone at noon yesterday, someone knocked on the door and said he was delivering food. After I opened the door, the man rushed into the room, took out a knife and robbed me of more than a thousand yuan.
Then he ran away.
By the time I reacted, the other person had already run onto the road. I leaned out of the window of my house, pointed at the man and shouted, "Help, there's someone being robbed." At this time, a man in a black coat rushed over.
.”
Zhang Yang asked: "Were you afraid when someone pointed a knife at home?"
A layer of goosebumps appeared on the woman's fair neck, and her body shivered: "I was afraid, my mind went blank at the time, and I thought I was dead."
Zhang Yang continued to ask: "How many people chased the robber at that time?"
The woman thought for a while: "There were many people watching, but I chased after that one person, the man in the black coat. Later I found out that he was a policeman from the Zhongshan Police Station."
"What's his name, do you know?"
The woman scratched her head and felt helpless: "I asked him, but he didn't tell me."
"Then what did he tell you?"
The woman laughed and said in a cheerful tone: "He said, 'Don't be afraid, I'm a policeman.'"
Zhang Yang took the microphone excitedly: "A policeman in civilian clothes was walking on the road alone after get off work. At this moment, no one knew that he was a policeman. However, when he encountered a knife-wielding robbery, he rushed to the house without hesitation. Go up.
The policeman is also an ordinary person, and his physical fitness is not as good as ordinary people imagine. With an irregular life and lack of exercise, his physical condition may be worse than that of some people. But why did he rush forward at that time?
It was his role as a police officer that gave him the courage to face the murderer."
Zhang Yang bowed deeply.
"On behalf of the people of Dongzhou, thank you!"
In the morning, I saw on Douyin that there was a random burglary and murder case in Jiande, Zhejiang Province. The deceased was a three-month-old woman.
As Zhang Yang said, don't underestimate people's evil.
I hope my friends will be careful in everything and protect themselves.
