Good Cop Bad Cop | 好坏警察

Sunday 31st, March 2019

We were in Diyarbakir, a capital city in a province south of Turkey. It is considered an important city of the Kurdish people. That day was the local election day throughout Turkey. It was expected the night would be full of celebration as the pro-Kurdish party will win the mayoralty of Diyarbakir. We happened to be living very close to the party's HQ, so our host said the place will be festive tonight.

2019年3月31日星期日
我们在土耳其南部省份的首都迪亚巴克尔。 它被认为是库尔德人民的重要城市。 那天是整个土耳其的地方选举日。 由于亲库尔德党将赢得迪亚巴克尔的市长，所以预计这个夜晚将充满庆祝。 我们碰巧住的非常接近党的总部，所以我们的主人说今晚这个地方将是喜庆的。

3 pm

After the morning rain finished, we walked to old city to explore the city wall. Our host told us that some parts you can still walk on. It was almost 2 kilometers of continuous wall with the occasional towers at each bend. Not so many people have come out to explore the wall because the weather had been very wet.

下午3点
早上下雨结束后，我们走到老城区探索城墙。 我们的主人告诉我们，您仍然可以继续使用某些部件。 它几乎是2公里的连续墙，每个弯道偶尔有塔。 由于天气非常潮湿，没有多少人出来探索隔离墙。

6 pm

On our way home we saw an advertisement for milk for one Lira one litre. That's super cheap and there was a shop near our home. We decided to visit the shop later that night to get stuff for dinner.

下午6点
在回家的路上，我们看到一个里拉一公升的牛奶广告。 那是超级便宜的，我们家附近有一家商店。 那天晚上我们决定去商店买东西准备晚餐。

7:22 pm

On our way home, we passed the celebration and took a few photos to capture the moment. We carried on to the supermarket with the milk discount.

晚上7:22
在回家的路上，我们通过了庆祝活动并拍了几张照片来捕捉这一刻。 我们带着牛奶折扣进入超市。

People are flowing in to celebrate

7:35 pm

On our way back with bread and milk in our hands, Pheng stopped to take more photos. It was an extremely festive atmosphere - flags, music and fireworks. Matt was concerned about getting involved so he waited on the other side of the road. When Pheng tried to cross the road, he was stopped by a plainclothed policeman. He showed Pheng his ID and requested Pheng to stay. He is on his phone calling someone. Pheng tried to communicate through the translator asking why the hold up. He gave no information other than a "just stay" gesture.

晚上7:35
在回来的路上，面包和牛奶在我们手中，Pheng停下来拍更多照片。 这是一个非常喜庆的气氛 - 旗帜，音乐和烟花。 马特很担心参与其中，所以他在路的另一边等着。 当Pheng试图过马路时，他被一名穿着便衣的警察拦住了。 他向Pheng展示了他的身份证，并要求Pheng留下来。 他在打电话给某人。 Pheng试图通过翻译沟通，询问为什么要坚持。 除了“只是停留”的姿态，他没有提供任何信息。

Matt eventually got involved and became frustrated. The cop wanted us to get inside their white bus. It looked like we were getting detained. We refused and stayed outside asking what we did wrong. Again no answer. He asked for passports and Matt said it was at home. Actually Pheng had the passports strapped on the body the entire day – but Matt didn't know. So we suggested one of us go to get it, but he didn't allow it.

He asked if we were FBI or CIA agents and looked really serious. Pheng lifted the bag of breads and said we're only tourists buying food for dinner. He still wasn't convinced. Matt angrily said you can't force us into the bus (which was filled with policemen and guns), the cop responded angrily pointing us to go into the bus. We stood our ground and refused to move, telling him he can't make us do anything unless he provided a reason why he stopped us in the first place.

马特最终卷入其中并感到沮丧。 警察希望我们进入白色巴士。 看起来我们被拘留了。 我们拒绝并留在外面询问我们做错了什么。 再也没有答案。 他要了护照，马特说这是在家里。 事实上，Pheng一整天都把护照绑在身上 - 但马特不知道。 所以我们建议我们其中一个去拿它，但他不允许。
他问我们是FBI还是中央情报局的特工，看起来真的很认真。 Pheng拿起一袋面包说我们只是游客在晚餐时买食物。 他仍然不相信。 马特气愤地说，你不能强迫我们进入公共汽车（里面装满了警察和枪支），警察愤怒地指着我们进入公共汽车。 我们坚持自己的立场并拒绝搬家，告诉他除非他提供了他为什么首先阻止我们的理由，否则他不能让我们做任何事情。

7:40 pm

The cop found another riot-geared policeman who spoke some English. We explained the situation and he asked "why didn't one of us go get the passports?". We looked straight into the eyes of the first cop. They had a little chat and eventually let Pheng go to get it. The second cop was much calmer and respectful to us. Luckily the home was very close so two minutes later Pheng returned with the passports.

While Pheng was away, Matt was talking to the second cop in a normal conversation of "where are you from, what is your job, etc". The first cop heard that Matt was from Christchurch and reacted in the most offensive way possible. He shouted "Allah Akbar" towards everyone and pretended to shoot everyone with his loaded gun. This was in reference to the mosque attack which was big news in the middle east. Extremely offended, Matt refused to talk to that cop for the rest of the night.

晚上7:40
警察找到了另一位讲过一些英语的防暴警察。 我们解释了情况，他问道“我们为什么不去拿护照？”。 我们直视着第一个警察的眼睛。 他们聊了一会儿，最终让Pheng去拿它。 第二名警察对我们来说更加平静和尊重。 幸运的是家里很近，所以两分钟后Pheng带着护照返回。
在Pheng离开的时候，Matt正在和第二个警察谈话，正常的谈话是“你是哪里人，你的工作是什么等等”。 第一名警察听说马特来自基督城并以尽可能最冒犯的方式作出反应。 他向所有人喊“阿拉阿克巴尔”，假装用装满枪的枪射击所有人。 这是关于清真寺袭击事件，这是中东地区的重大新闻。 非常冒犯，马特在剩下的时间里拒绝与那名警察交谈。

7:42 pm

Pheng handed the cops the passports and they flicked through the pages. They noted we've been to Iran and we insisted we were tour cycling across Asia. With an empty stomach, we asked if we could go home to make dinner. They seemed hesitant but had nothing else to keep holding us up. Eventually both the cops let us go. They said go home quickly and don't come back.

8 pm

We got home and watched the celebration continued late into the nights.

晚上7:42
Pheng递给警察护照，他们翻过书页。 他们注意到我们去过伊朗，我们坚持要在亚洲骑自行车。 空腹，我们问我们是否可以回家做晚饭。 他们似乎犹豫不决但没有别的东西可以让我们紧紧抓住。 最终警察都让我们走了。 他们说快回家，不回来。

晚上8点
我们回到家，看着庆祝活动持续到深夜。
