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,” King County, washington statute enforcement officers Aaron Thompson and Kris Rongen shoot Dustin Theoharis 16 times as he lay in bed.  Theoharis was reaching for a flashlight to determine who had awakened him in the middle of the night.  Thompson and Rongen had arrested Theoharis’ roommate earlier, and were now attempting to search Theoharis–without a warrant–for a sidearm so they could charge the roommate with an additional parole violation.

       Postscript: The Sherriff of King County backed up the actions of his officers, and the Prosecutor of King County declined to file charges.
