Was it out of fury or fear?

You've heard about contagious diseases ... but have you ever heard of a term like 'contagious fire'? Well you might interpret it as an uncontrolled spread of fire from one area to another. But you are actually far from the target!

This is a term that was offered again lst week by the famous NYPD. The NYPD brand name has an image to maintain and they know just how to do that. They branded the recent shooting of unarmed Sean Bell and his friends outside a bar as 'contagious fire'. How convenient!

The term tires to explain why 5 police officers had to empty their barrels on a few unarmed young guys? As if one of the police officers had a 'shooting' disease which spread to his colleagues in the heat of the moment. Amazing how these days we are able to cover up everything with a play of words!

Thank you NYPD, for coining that term though! It is definitely an epidemic that is spreading through law enforcement personnel in the United States. Law enforcement is so trigger happy that one wrong move by a civilian can be fatal. Even if the police is persuing a criminal- why is it that 95% of the times they have to kill him? I thought the police were taught techniques to disarm criminals without shooting or even if shooting is involved they can always shoot to injure- why kill? Human life seems to be only valuable these days if you have the power, status or the evergreen dough!
