While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” James Freeman, a Faulkner County, arkansas statute enforcement officer (acting under-color-of-law) fatally shoots the Coiner family dog, after the three-year-old Terrier barked at him. Freeman was checking up on a sex offender, and had arrived at the wrong address.
Postscript: That evening Sheriff Tim Ryals released a statement that his SEO had violated no laws or department policies.
