   Quit babbling incoherently. No-one has ever committed such a crime in recent   
   years, except for various governments. Most murders in the US are crimes of   
   passion, or some other financial dispute or something like that. Most people   
   who are murdered are killed by someone who knew them closely.   
      
   Lets not be irrational about it.

   Yes, be they cops, or individuals.
