This is a little like a tragic replay of “Groundhog Day.” Again an innocent person, an active duty airman this time, was brutally killed in his own home by police who didn’t identify themselves as they broke into his home.
“Deputies responding to a disturbance call at a Florida apartment complex burst into the wrong unit and fatally shot a Black US air force airman who was home alone when they saw he was armed with a gun, an attorney for the man’s family said on Wednesday.
Medicynical Note: I can only conclude that our gun crazy country condones the murder of innocents as a cost of doing business—the gun industry’s business. The dead are literally viewed as “collateral” damage. In this case, we allow the police all manner of privilege because perps might have guns that our laws make available to anyone. So the killings of innocents are tragic but of course necessary (sic) accidents. All to justify the phony idea that our founders would have wanted anyone to have access to the most aggressive weapons because we’re a “free society.” Of course the families of Roger Fortson and the innocent victims of other shootings might disagree—A freedom for me and death for you society.
The solution to the problem is well known and accepted in all other industrialized nations i.e. gun control. But our Supreme Court Republican appointed justices huddle in their homes protected by guards with guns, too politicized and merciless to care. They need their armed guards of course, because, you know, there might be a picketer nearby who might carry, you guessed it, a gun. They are pathetic miserable faux devout group of jurists. They are destroying America ruling by ruling.
