EXCESSIVE FORCE:
MILITARY-GRADE POLICE ARE HERE
Reddin Belk, Pallad City Post
Private military contractors are often hired to wage war on foreign battlefields, but what happens when they do the same on your streets? Notorious contractor, Vivid Defense—yes, the one with over a dozen charges of misconduct, negligence, and accusations of war crimes on foreign soil—now has a presence in Pallad City. Contracted to the city under an initiative by Mayor Hynden Neville, the Tactical Armored Unit is Vivid Defense’s answer to a semi-privatized police force.
Thus far, Vivid’s Tactical Armored Units are only utilized in situations “beyond what the Pallad City Police Department can handle,” as quoted direct from the Mayor. With a police department suffering from increased budget cuts, the hiring of a specialized police unit seems paradoxical at best. Recent polls have revealed that not all Palladians are trusting of Vivid Defense’s presence in the city, but the same poll has also shown that many citizens are equally skeptical of the PCPD’s current ability to combat crime. Perhaps, most alarmingly, 40% of Palladians claim to be fine with the complete dismantling of the PCPD in favor of a fully privatized police agency.

Hi, catched up, sigh… Very nice comic, I will pass the word !
Somebody needs to pull his political plug, and soon. I like the irony in the possibility that Reena, in over her head, might just find the way.
Well the little fat fucker is just another politian out to get the biggest piece of pie that he can get his greedy, greasy fingers on. Just another POS!
Loved this chapter! Wonderful work, guys!
Okay, these two both need to fry, and the fat-fuck can provide the oil personally (self-baste the bastard), the bitch will probably melt from all the plastic in her (bewbs, arse and face)
Maybe this has never occurred to anyone (or the writer) but even an underground parking lot in Police HQ should be equipped with both audio and visual security measures. They’re obviously in the future and we already have such devices now, so what gives? Technically this fat@$$ just dug his own political grave at ground zero.
this happens in a lot of books/tv shows/movies. Suspense of belief is often required to enjoy. it’s part of professional wrestling/sports entertainment
