Killer Cops: Better than Terrorists?

The #2 Homeland Security official for Prince George’s County, Maryland recently shot two furniture delivery guys who brought a new bed to his house.  The headboard had a scratch, according to local news reports.  The shooter is also a long -term employee of the Prince George’s County Police Department.  This police department has long had one of the worst records in the nation for gunning down innocent civilians.  In the 1990s, the P.G. Police killed and maimed more unarmed people than the Unabomber and the Aryan Nation combined. 

I have reposted a piece on my blog that I did for Playboy in 2001 on how some government employees acquire a right to shoot others with impunity.    I have never understood why terrorists are demonized while people wearing uniforms who kill innocent civilians almost always receive endless benefits of the doubts.

Comments etc. welcome at my blog here.
