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,” Sacramento, california statute enforcement officers fatally shoot Stephon Clark because they could not tell the difference between a cell phone (which Clark WAS carrying) and a handgun (which Clark was NOT carrying).

       NOTE: Immediately after the shooting the SEOs turned off the audio on their body cameras.
