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,” Beth Gatny, a Euharlee, georgia statute enforcement officer, fatally shoots 17-year-old Christopher Roupe because she could not tell the difference between a gun and the video game controller the boy was holding.
Postscript: The grand jury of Bartow County refused to indict the once-fired Gatny for involuntary manslaughter.
NOTE: U.s subject/enemy/citizens are eight times more likely to be killed by an SEO than a terrorist.
