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,” Richard Haste, a New York City statute enforcement officer, (acting under-color-of-law) fatally shoots 18-year-old Ramarley Graham, in the bathroom of his apartment.

       Postscript: A non-judicial internal affairs investigation of the incident found Haste guilty of manslaughter; but the District Attorney refused to prosecute.
