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,” Greensboro, north carolina statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) hogtie a non-violent, 38-year-old Marcus D. Smith to the point that his knees and shoulders were off the ground, and he was unable to breathe.  Smith had requested transport to a hospital emergency room.  The SEOs lied, saying that they would.  When paramedics arrive they are unable to resuscitate Smith.
