Patrols were usually one of Lin's more favoured parts of the job. When she had a patrol in a part of the city such as this one it was particularly satisfying. Too much of her job was filled with paperwork and sometimes it was just good to get back to the basics. That said, now that Tarrlok had started a task force to capture the Equalists things had been far more stressful. Chief Beifong wondered at times whether what they were doing was even correct. So many individuals seemed to have their places of residence raided and yet how many were actually in support of the Equalist movement. Even in spite of all this she still had to clean up the mess others created. Only the previous night they had been on patrol and seen the taskforce raiding a shop front, one Lin wasn't even sure had anything to do with Amon. None of her officers were a part of the force, something she was very thankful for, but the Avatar had joined.

For a number of reasons, this frustrated Lin but none more so than the fact that this would cause already very high tensions between benders and non-benders on the streets to become more prominent. The person who was supposed to be bringing balance and peace seemed to be perpetuating violence. That was all the people would see. Too many people came to the Police asking what they could do about the taskforce but they could do nothing. It was not under her jurisdiction and Lin could only hope every person captured would get a fair trial.

Metal clad arms folded across one another as Lin walked through the park, noting as she did that a few other members of her patrol were within sight. The police chief came to a stop and surveyed the surrounding area for a moment. She would be on patrol once again tonight, downtown in the less affluent parts of Republic City. This was usually one of the toughest patrols to take but just like all the other officers, she would do her part. It was never the favoured place simply because a large number of crimes were usually committed by triad members who also had airtight alibis more often than not and managed to get released after only a couple of days in holding.

A terrified scream made her jump to attention and just as she started moving, she noted with pride that the other two police on patrol also sprang into action. All three ran down the path, eventually using the metal cables to swing down the path all the faster. It was not even that dark but the area into which they were headed was a somewhat secluded part of the park. They whipped around the corner and took in the scene.
