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,” Baltimore County, maryland statute enforcement officers fatally shoot Korryn Gaines over an unpaid “traffic” (a legal term for goods, services, or persons in commercial “transit”) ticket.  The SEOs also wound her five-year-old son.
