At 8 pm, the streets before Gotham Station were bustling with citizens and reporters who were on strike. They raised their signs and shouted their slogans. Most of the signs were against Captain Gordon, like Gordon Step Down', 'Gordon Must Go', and so on. Others included 'Police, do your duty', 'Get lost, Batman', and 'Kill the criminals'. When Gordon appeared, the reporters pounced at him, pushing all the mics, cameras, and lights at him, and sharp questions were directed at Gordon.
"I hear that another fifteen officers have handed in their badges today. Is that true?"
"How long will it take for the city to be safe again?"
"Who will be responsible for the bank heist failure?"
"How do you plan to answer to the families of the dead officers? How did that John Doe slip away from the officers?"
"Sir, has the criminal force infiltrated the police?"
"Are the police threatened by the criminals?"
