Police in America: Licensed to Kill by Stephen Lendman
* Miriam Carey is the latest victim. She deserved to live, not die. More on her below.
Incidents occur daily across America. Blacks and Latinos are most vulnerable. Police shoot innocent suspects for any reason or none all.
Rarely are officers or their superiors held accountable. On average, US police kill one or two people daily. Most often, incidents go unnoticed."
*They fired multiple times at her vehicle. Why on busy DC streets? Why when backup units could have blocked her safely?
Why wasn't she taken alive, detained and questioned? Why do cops routinely shoot first? Why are they allowed to get away with it?
Things ended violently near the US Capitol. Miriam's car crashed. She got out. She was clearly unarmed. She was non-threatening.
Cops shot her to death. They riddled her body with bullets. Doing so was cold-blooded murder. Bystanders nearby could have been harmed.
Miriam had her one-year daughter with her when she was killed."

Militarized America leaves no one safe. Trayvon Martin, Mariam Carey, and countless others like them learned the hard way.
Their deaths reflect a national sickness. It's a national addiction. Violent cultures operate this way. Among all developed countries, America's by far the worst."
