While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Gahiji A. Tshamba, an off-duty Baltimore, maryland statute enforcement officer, mortally shoots Tyrone Brown, for having groped Tshamba’s female companion.

       Postscript: Fourteen months later Tshamba was sentenced to 15 years in prison for manslaughter.
