You're more likely to die by lightning.
Lightining isn't something that's under our control, and subject to criminal law. The fact that shit like malaria kills more people than cops, doesn't make those killings by cops any better, any more excusable. We expect that frm shit like lightning, shit like a disease. Is that what our cops are, a disease..a natural disaster? Is that a relevant comparison?
When we find ourselves saying to ourselves (and to others) "it's not as bad as it sounds" -and then referring to people struck by lightning.......-...well, that might be -why- it's so damned bad. Food for thought.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
