Not in America you don't. Someone can break into your house, be unarmed, and you can spray him with hundreds of bullets and you're safe. Over there your house is your castle, literally. Over there it is legal for a white man to shoot an unarmed black man, or cops to kick the shit out of one, and then charge him with assaulting their boots and batons.
The reality is that there are around 600 odd fatal shootings by police each year in the US. Of those on average around 400 odd are black police shooting black citizens. The theory is that white officers are paranoid/worried that if they do shoot a black person that he or she will be accused of bigotry.
These numbers come from the FBI's own web site. They contravene the medias own figures that roughly double these numbers. Why the difference? I don't know, I haven't looked into it. But for a nation that has literally over 300m guns and a bad gang and drug culture, not to mention a propaganda division known as Hollywood that is second to none, which has made violence cool to so many over numerous generations, then are we at all surprised that this is going on?
Frankly I am amazed that the police aren't shooting first at most crime scenes and asking questions later. Who would want to be a police officer in the US, especially in the big cities? A thankless job, average pay and your life is ALWAYS on the line. Constantly asked to go into the worst neighborhoods blind of what maybe waiting for you on the other side. Yeah sign me up.
By enlarge the the police do a great job and are doing their best with very little help from the politicians. America has more then enough gun control laws. The real and only problem is politicians and their failed policies in preventing poverty, the continued illegalization of drugs, a woeful education system and the total breakdown of the family unit. Throwing money at this won't change things, money isn't the problem. It is policy and the global agenda that has been created to work against the average citizen.
