Re: Police in this country have the de facto right to summarily execute innocents

Well, there was that one case recently were a homeowner holding an intruding burglar at gunpoint was shot in his own home by responding police, a tragic failure to communicate on both sides which would have remained a tragic accident had the officers not been caught on tape conspiring to cover it up.

But in the overwhelming number of cases I think people underestimate the level of stupidity required to get yourself in situation to be shot by police.
