I am of course utilizing this as a metaphor of course, because of the rise of these particular stories caught my attention immediately, and
them being caught would be a metaphor for being "slain" by getting caught.
I am of course speaking in term of years here not just in the last few months.
There has been a pattern, if you will, a disturbance, in the force.

Order 66, that literally destroyed the jedi. What I would like to know is how in gods name did Palpatine approach the Clones to betray the jedi.
They had been fighting with them for a number of years against the separatists and for this order to be given to "exterminate them", I'm surprised
it was never leaked. Also in relation to the cops shooting the man in the back, it almost fits. Because in Germany Hitler had the night of a
thousand knives where the brownshirts (including the leader of the brownshirts who brough Hitler up the ranks) where gotten rid of. They where used
as muscle for his organization and once his organization was sufficiently powerful enough, get rid of the muscle that was a competing interest to your
powerbase. You see the same bullies and thugs that could be used against your enemy can be used against you if your policies are un-popular.
Right now the police are running around thinking they are invicible, it's a myth. They are being let to be brutes and bullies and thugs, so when the
elite are done looting this country and has rendered everything it wanted out of it, it will use them as the scapegoat to blame for everything. The
people will go after the police and once they are "done" then the elite will hire and acquire new brownshirts/police to use and start the cycle all
over again.
I have to wonder if you missed my use of the word, metaphor, within my post.
While, yes, all of what you said, is along the same lines as my original post, you might want to consider clarifying your post a bit more, so it does
not look like you are going off a tangent.
Please, I hope you understand I am not being overly critical, but my original post was a metaphor.
Just from one veteran ATS'er to a newer member, trying to help.
As for the people who posted about this particular event being cleared by that particular Police Department, it is obvious, to me at least, that they
saw nothing out of the ordinary with the scenario, because of the events unfolding the way they did the Officer did act appropriately,
IF the home owner did not identify himself, then there was a question as to who the home owner and aggressor was, because of the
individual perspective of the news story that is explained the Police Officer in question was probably confused because of the situation.
This can be relegated to a mistake due to either lack of training, improper training, or just plain error in judgment.
It did however inspire me to write a short story because of it.
(TTSSC) Order 66 : Law Enforcement and the Fall of the Jedi
Officer involved shootings happen all the time, more so than the media makes us aware of in fact, but it is the intent of the Officer, and the context
of the situation that must be judged, wherein, unlike in my fictional short story, the story does sound like he may have made a mistake and as well
that he was concerned for his career.
I have to ask why he shot six times though, because after three, he should have felt reasonably safe.
I keep reading and hearing about Police Officer's shooting a perpetrator twenty-seven times and it makes me wonder what the Hell is going on in the
story.
