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,” Long Beach, callifornia statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) shoot and kill Douglas Zerby for watering his lawn.  The SEOs mistook Zerby’s water hose nozzle for a handgun.

        Postscript: Three years later a Federal jury awarded Zerby’s family 6,500,000 “dollars, which came not out of the property of the SEOs responsible for this injustice, but out of the lawful taxes paid by city residents, who did not do this.
