THE POLICE//

Event bzns.  
Okay guys, I have plot in store that should have been in motion by now, but there were extenuating circumstances which delayed it. That being said, I'm going to backdate part of it. This means your characters would already know about what I'm going to write in this entry and these events have passed. This will be followed by an interview video that takes place in the present, but you need this backstory to understand it.

So everyone in The City who doesn't live under a rock knows the chief of police, Naruto Namikaze, got into a fight with a member of Masenshi and got hurt. Naturally, officers were sent into the third district to sniff out clues and try to find out where the assailants are hiding away. Considering there were witnesses who watched both Madara and Itachi run off, the police had some good clues to go by at first.

The trail eventually lead them to an orphanage in the third district. The police suspected the group was hiding someone involved in Naruto's assault and forced their way inside. When met with resistance, they resorted to violence, killing a young (male) child and a girl in her late teens. The head of the orphanage, Hashirama Senju, was threatened but unharmed.

One way or another, the story got out. Two deaths in the third district because of police officers. There was plenty of media about it, reporters were probably going into the third district – some probably with armed bodyguards or officers accompanying them. Two dirt-hair deaths wouldn't be such a big deal, but – as the media would be pointing out – Naruto himself forbade the killing of dark-hairs by police unless it was in self-defense, and the case is looking like there was no self-defense involved.

The officers are being charged with manslaughter, making the case a historical first. No blond has ever been charged with murder of a dark-hair, as it's never been punishable before.

Depending on who your character is, they'll have different details about this. Dark-hairs may or may not know Hashirama Senju, or live near there, so they might have seen the officers, known the people who died, been harassed by the press afterward. There would be some discussion going around about whether the officers will be found guilty or not.

Brunets are kind of stuck in the middle of things, as per usual. The case doesn't directly pertain to them, but if the dark-hairs have the potential to gain more rights and be more protected, that could heighten brunet status.

Blonds will be most disturbed by this, in majority. Many people are criticizing the court case, though there are a few who are publically praising it. Some people believe trying blonds for killing dark-hairs is weakening blond power and authority, especially within the police force, and will encourage dark-hairs to act out and become even bolder. Others find it as a good step at giving the dark-hairs more rights so they will stop forming radical terrorist groups and threatening the well-being of everyone. However, what is clear is that Naruto is in full support of the trial, and he is being backed by the Yondaime and Hokage. The Yondaime has not said anything directly positive of the trials, however he has said justice will be served, whatever choice the jury makes, and they will decide if the officers should be held accountable for manslaughter or if they should be set free and have the charges struck from their records.
