Courthouse News Service — You have to read this entire account. Jaw dropping.
A homeowner says a Phoenix police officer shot him six times in the back during a 911 home-invasion call, and the 911 tape recorded the officer’s partner saying, “That’s all right. Don’t worry about it. I got your back. … We clear?” The family says the officers were not aware that the 911 call was still recording as they spoke about covering up the shooting…
The Arambulas say the officers later dragged Anthony onto gravel, then put him on top of the hot hood of a squad car, and “drove the squad car down the street with Tony lying on top, writhing in pain.”

This also answers Fusion, not that this matters. Case in point: all the questions poised by Fusion have been answered in my original post. Just has to read the links and comprehend.
Also, it appears we are in agreement that gun control is racist?
Ah Yea==I think you are still falling prey to the variation of a nonetheless positive correlation. Its not 100%, not 1 point zero. Guns are different than knives when they are applauded for women not needing body strength to defend herself, but no different than machetes if in Rwanda they were the weapons of choice for a government sponsored military operation?
But I agree. Switzerland has lower death rate but more guns and again the “its only a positive correlation, not a direct relationship” has to be made.
I will answer my own question then as a less than perfect positive correlation is not good enough. I would rather live in a society where those who are killed by guns are killed by criminals than one in which people are regularly killed by accidents, killed by teenagers playing at gangsters, or by overexcited and undertrained police. THAT expense of freedom would be offset if I thought private ownership of guns prevented our government from taking our freedoms, but they have already basically accomplished that. That game/justification is over.
So, it may indeed just come down to “values.”
#38, so what is your point? You keep posting links and suggesting we read the whole effen thing when you obviously don’t yourself. A 1200 word report explains the entire war? Really, you do leave a lot to be desired in the credibility department.
Rwanda was a civil war. So you want to use that as an example of gun violence? Do you, or the authors of that report, really think 800,000 people were killed solely by machetes? Effen retards. They were backed up by guns.

I am not following all your links to more bullshit that even you didn’t read. Geeze, a propaganda pamphlet as a citation, you must think we are totally gullible.
So why does the US have such a high rate of firearm homicides?
So why is a home with a firearm more likely to have an accidental firearm death?
So why didn’t any of your citations report those facts?
wow,#19 sucks to be you
I think people are missing the real lesson here. Pro-Gun or Anti-Gun, don’t leave the well being of your self and your family in any other hands but your own.
Obviously you can’t always trust pol lot of them are assholes, a lot or just plane old stupid, and some are decent. You don’t know what kind your going to get. So if you have the means, protect yourself. If you don’t, aquire the means.
Had this been me, I woulda shot the guy, not held him at gunpoint. Then I would have called the police to let them know there was a dying bad guy in my house that needed taking care of.
