newswars--2020-06-08--Three Ways Law Enforcement Must Be Reformed Right Now

I don ’ t know which acts of police abuse and brutality are motivated by racism and which are not .
But let ’ s say , for the sake of argument , that we could end all racial bias immediately through some magic spell or button we could press .
Would this end police abuse , or even most of it ?
Experience tells us no .
The data is clear that police abuse is not limited to any particular group .
Indeed , a majority of those shot by police are white .
For example , when police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s unlikely that he was motivated by some sort of ethnic or racial bias .
The same was probably true when police shot Duncan Lemp in his sleep during a no-knock raid , or when police pinned Tony Timpa to the ground until he died .
After Timpa died police joked about it , and apparently found the situation quite hilarious .
This is not limited just to local police personnel .
When federal agents massacred more than eighty ( mostly white ) men , women , and children at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t motivated by the race of their victims , either .
Police also appear to have no aversion to being callously indifferent toward victims of all racial and ethnic backgrounds .
When police elected to cower outside Stoneman Douglas High School rather than face the gunman slaughtering children inside , it ’ s unlikely that they paid much attention to the racial makeup of the student body ( a majority of which was white . )
Unfortunately , anecdotes like these could be recalled for hours and hours .
“ But nonwhites @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” some might say .
This may be so , and indeed some may decide that turning police into equal-opportunity abusers is a type of progress in itself , but it hardly addresses the systemic foundations of police abuse .
And the underlying problems are substantial .
They are systemic and built into the law enforcement community in the United States for several reasons .
First , police are protected from accountability both by laws granting them legal immunity and by police labor unions that shield abusers .
Secondly , the proliferation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ petty offenses ( most commonly drug offenses ) provides police with nearly endless opportunities to stop and harass people who have committed no real crime .
Murray Rothbard has illustrated how the ideal in this situation would be a type of police privatization .
But for those who are not yet ready for such a radical reform , much can be done in the meantime through more mild , yet very necessary , reforms .
At the core of the issue is a lack of accountability and legal liability on the part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thanks to activist progovernment judges and legislation designed to shield police , it is extremely difficult to hold abusive law enforcement agents accountable .
The doctrine of qualified immunity essentially says that for a police officer to be held accountable , there must be a statute specifying all the particularities of his or her unique situation .
Anything even remotely ambiguous falls under the broad category of “ discretion.
” In theory , legal immunity is “ qualified , ” but in practice , it is effectively absolute .
This way of thinking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decades old .
It was solidified in American law by activist Supreme Court judges in 1967 .
Their ruling essentially created new law which erected new barriers against holding police accountable for abusive behavior .
While the Civil Rights Act of 1871 gives Americans the unambiguous ability to sue public officials over civil rights violations , the Supreme Court has subsequently limited liability to only those rights that have become “ clearly established law.
” Critics say the standard is near-impossible to meet .
“ In order for a plaintiff to defeat qualified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prior case that has held unconstitutional an incident with virtually identical facts to the one the plaintiff is bringing , ” said UCLA law professor Joanna Schwartz .
“ And over the last 15 years , the court has made it a more and more difficult standard for plaintiffs to overcome to go to trial.
” Last month , a Reuters report noted that “ the doctrine has become a nearly failsafe tool to let police brutality go unpunished and deny victims their constitutional rights.
” There are several layers of negative incentives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immunity arguably serves as the most dangerous of the perverse incentive structures governing the police .
Through legal evolution , the protection offered has expanded to an absurd degree , where an officer can record himself murdering a man as part of a sadistic game only to be rewarded with an early retirement .
Police officers enjoy an almost untrammeled liberty for brutality , theft , and murder—those who do not abuse their authority restrain themselves not because of institutional structures , but despite them .
Qualified immunity is the clearest example that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or , perhaps , never existed ) ; government officials live by one set of rules , and the rest of us live by another .
Public sector unions in general have always been objectionable , since these unions empower workers in monopoly industries funded through forced income transfers from the taxpayers to the government workers , whether we ’ re talking about teachers , trash collectors , or police officers .
Thomas DiLorenzo explains : The main reason why so many state and local governments are bankrupt , or on the verge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government-run monopolies and government-employee unions .
Government-employee unions have vastly more power than do private-sector unions because the entities they work for are typically monopolies .
When the employees of a grocery store , for example , go on strike and shut down the store , consumers can simply shop elsewhere , and the grocery-store management is perfectly free to hire replacement workers .
In contrast , when a city teachers ’ or garbage-truck drivers ’ union goes on strike , there is no school and no garbage collection as long as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teachers ’ tenure ( typically after two or three years in government schools ) and civil-service regulations make it extremely costly if not virtually impossible to hire replacement workers .
Thus , when government bureaucrats go on strike they have the ability to completely shut down the entire “ industry ” they “ work ” in indefinitely .
The taxpayers will complain bitterly about the absence of schools and garbage collection , forcing the mayor , governor , or city councillors to quickly cave in to the union ’ s demands to avoid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to voter dissatisfaction .
Police unions , because of the nature of police work , are even more dangerous .
These unions are central to shielding police officers from legal accountability and ensuring that known violent offenders in the police force continue to collect salaries and benefits .
Police unions also repeatedly press for ever more aggressive tactics on the part of police as an effort to increase “ officer safety ” at the expense of public safety .
As Reuters noted yesterday : “ efforts to overhaul the way policing is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face of a powerful 800-member union that championed military-style police tactics.
” “ [ The ] union ’ s labor contract with the city is a formidable roadblock to citizens seeking disciplinary action , ” the researchers found .
Nor is this unusual : The Minneapolis union contract is not unusual .
Dozens of other contracts across the United States contain provisions that stymie efforts to hold cops accountable for violence and other alleged abuses….The news agency examined contracts in 82 cities for that article and found that 46 required departments to erase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months .
The absence of a paper trail makes firing officers with a history of abuses difficult , lawyers and police chiefs say .
As Tate Fegley illustrated earlier this week at mises.org , police union contracts are a driving force behind the requirement that police fired for misconduct be able to appeal easily .
Consequently , many police officers who have been fired for well-established records of misconduct and brutality are rehired .
As with teachers ’ unions and unions in general , police unions exist to protect their members , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the public interest and with the interests of taxpayers .
In this context , “ standing up for workers ” means ensuring less accountability , higher pay , and less work ( i.e.
, fewer services available to the public ) .
One of the most important factors in limiting police abuse is reducing the number of violations that police can use to justify the harassment of peaceful citizens .
Without the drug war , of course , police would have far fewer ways of justifying traffic stops and searches , surveillance of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ homes .
As I noted in 2016 in “ Too Many Laws : Why Police Encounters Escalate “ : Dealing with violent crime constitutes only a small minority of what police deal with on a daily basis .
For example , in 2014 , out of 11,205,833 arrests made nationwide ( in the US ) , 498,666 arrests were for violent crimes and 1,553,980 arrests were for property crime .
That means 82 percent of arrests were made for something other than violent crime or property crime .
Moreover , many of these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violations , carrying an illegal knife , or other infractions that should be regarded as small-time offenses can result in serious jail time or prison time , as well as steep fines and lost earnings .
For instance , the highly publicized death of Eric Garner at the hands of police officers was a conflict precipitated by the sale of untaxed cigarettes by Garner .
The police officers who killed Freddie Gray in custody in Baltimore later claimed the arrest was necessary because Gray possessed a knife that violated city ordinances .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ non-criminals who have been stopped , searched , arrested and imprisoned for petty drug offenses such as possession .
Indeed , police departments spend an immense amount of time and resources on these nonviolent offenses at the expense of violent crime investigations .
Most of these offenses are drug offenses .
The Baltimore Police Department , for example , in a jurisdiction where homicides are ten times as high as the national average , devotes less than 3 percent of its police officers to homicide investigations .
In the United States , less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigated to the point where we might call them closed cases .
Police focus on nonviolent and petty offenders in part because it ’ s easier to do so .
But there are other benefits as well .
Harassing drug offenders can bring financial windfalls thanks to asset forfeiture laws that allow law enforcement agencies to confiscate private property even on the flimsiest of pretexts .
These laws have been greatly strengthened by the drug war .
Just these three measures could go a long way in changing the incentives for police abuse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other sanctions for abusive behavior .
Whatever it is that motivates law enforcement officers who commit abusive acts , it is a safe bet that we would see less abuse if officers were not so well shielded from legal action which might hold them accountable .
Moreover , if police were no longer empowered to accost and confront private citizens over petty drug and weapon offenses the opportunities for abuse would likely be substantially diminished .

I don’t know which acts of police abuse and brutality are motivated by racism and which are not. But let’s say, for the sake of argument, that we could end all racial bias immediately through some magic spell or button we could press. Would this end police abuse, or even most of it?
Experience tells us no. The data is clear that police abuse is not limited to any particular group. Indeed, a majority of those shot by police are white.
For example, when police officer Phillip Brailsford gunned down Daniel Shaver, it’s unlikely that he was motivated by some sort of ethnic or racial bias. The same was probably true when police shot Duncan Lemp in his sleep during a no-knock raid, or when police pinned Tony Timpa to the ground until he died. After Timpa died police joked about it, and apparently found the situation quite hilarious. This is not limited just to local police personnel. When federal agents massacred more than eighty (mostly white) men, women, and children at Waco, law enforcement officers probably weren’t motivated by the race of their victims, either.
Police also appear to have no aversion to being callously indifferent toward victims of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. When police elected to cower outside Stoneman Douglas High School rather than face the gunman slaughtering children inside, it’s unlikely that they paid much attention to the racial makeup of the student body (a majority of which was white.)
Unfortunately, anecdotes like these could be recalled for hours and hours.
“But nonwhites are more often targeted proportionally!,” some might say. This may be so, and indeed some may decide that turning police into equal-opportunity abusers is a type of progress in itself, but it hardly addresses the systemic foundations of police abuse.
And the underlying problems are substantial. They are systemic and built into the law enforcement community in the United States for several reasons.

One: End Legal Immunity for Police
At the core of the issue is a lack of accountability and legal liability on the part of government employees who enforce the laws. Thanks to activist progovernment judges and legislation designed to shield police, it is extremely difficult to hold abusive law enforcement agents accountable.
Chris Calton explains:
The doctrine of qualified immunity essentially says that for a police officer to be held accountable, there must be a statute specifying all the particularities of his or her unique situation. Anything even remotely ambiguous falls under the broad category of “discretion.” In theory, legal immunity is “qualified,” but in practice, it is effectively absolute.
This way of thinking, however, is only a few decades old. It was solidified in American law by activist Supreme Court judges in 1967. Their ruling essentially created new law which erected new barriers against holding police accountable for abusive behavior.

Last month, a Reuters report noted that “the doctrine has become a nearly failsafe tool to let police brutality go unpunished and deny victims their constitutional rights.”
Consequently, Calton concludes:
There are several layers of negative incentives built into the criminal justice system….But qualified immunity arguably serves as the most dangerous of the perverse incentive structures governing the police. Through legal evolution, the protection offered has expanded to an absurd degree, where an officer can record himself murdering a man as part of a sadistic game only to be rewarded with an early retirement. Police officers enjoy an almost untrammeled liberty for brutality, theft, and murder—those who do not abuse their authority restrain themselves not because of institutional structures, but despite them. Qualified immunity is the clearest example that the rule of law is dead (or, perhaps, never existed); government officials live by one set of rules, and the rest of us live by another.
Two: Abolish Police Unions
Public sector unions in general have always been objectionable, since these unions empower workers in monopoly industries funded through forced income transfers from the taxpayers to the government workers, whether we’re talking about teachers, trash collectors, or police officers. Thomas DiLorenzo explains:
The main reason why so many state and local governments are bankrupt, or on the verge of bankruptcy, is the combination of government-run monopolies and government-employee unions. Government-employee unions have vastly more power than do private-sector unions because the entities they work for are typically monopolies.

In addition, teachers’ tenure (typically after two or three years in government schools) and civil-service regulations make it extremely costly if not virtually impossible to hire replacement workers.
Thus, when government bureaucrats go on strike they have the ability to completely shut down the entire “industry” they “work” in indefinitely. The taxpayers will complain bitterly about the absence of schools and garbage collection, forcing the mayor, governor, or city councillors to quickly cave in to the union’s demands to avoid risking the loss of their own jobs due to voter dissatisfaction.
Police unions, because of the nature of police work, are even more dangerous. These unions are central to shielding police officers from legal accountability and ensuring that known violent offenders in the police force continue to collect salaries and benefits. Police unions also repeatedly press for ever more aggressive tactics on the part of police as an effort to increase “officer safety” at the expense of public safety.
As Reuters noted yesterday: “efforts to overhaul the way policing is done in Minneapolis repeatedly fizzled in the face of a powerful 800-member union that championed military-style police tactics.”
“[The] union’s labor contract with the city is a formidable roadblock to citizens seeking disciplinary action,” the researchers found. Nor is this unusual:
The Minneapolis union contract is not unusual. Dozens of other contracts across the United States contain provisions that stymie efforts to hold cops accountable for violence and other alleged abuses….The news agency examined contracts in 82 cities for that article and found that 46 required departments to erase disciplinary records, some after just six months. The absence of a paper trail makes firing officers with a history of abuses difficult, lawyers and police chiefs say.
As Tate Fegley illustrated earlier this week at mises.org, police union contracts are a driving force behind the requirement that police fired for misconduct be able to appeal easily. Consequently, many police officers who have been fired for well-established records of misconduct and brutality are rehired.
As with teachers’ unions and unions in general, police unions exist to protect their members, and that’s often at odds with the public interest and with the interests of taxpayers. In this context, “standing up for workers” means ensuring less accountability, higher pay, and less work (i.e., fewer services available to the public).
Three: End the Drug War
One of the most important factors in limiting police abuse is reducing the number of violations that police can use to justify the harassment of peaceful citizens.
Without the drug war, of course, police would have far fewer ways of justifying traffic stops and searches, surveillance of private citizens, and raids of their homes. As I noted in 2016 in “Too Many Laws: Why Police Encounters Escalate“:
Dealing with violent crime constitutes only a small minority of what police deal with on a daily basis. For example, in 2014, out of 11,205,833 arrests made nationwide (in the US), 498,666 arrests were for violent crimes and 1,553,980 arrests were for property crime.
That means 82 percent of arrests were made for something other than violent crime or property crime.
Moreover, many of these non-violent offenses—such as drug use, liquor violations, carrying an illegal knife, or other infractions that should be regarded as small-time offenses can result in serious jail time or prison time, as well as steep fines and lost earnings.
For instance, the highly publicized death of Eric Garner at the hands of police officers was a conflict precipitated by the sale of untaxed cigarettes by Garner. The police officers who killed Freddie Gray in custody in Baltimore later claimed the arrest was necessary because Gray possessed a knife that violated city ordinances.
And then there are the countless cases of non-criminals who have been stopped, searched, arrested and imprisoned for petty drug offenses such as possession.
Indeed, police departments spend an immense amount of time and resources on these nonviolent offenses at the expense of violent crime investigations. Most of these offenses are drug offenses. The Baltimore Police Department, for example, in a jurisdiction where homicides are ten times as high as the national average, devotes less than 3 percent of its police officers to homicide investigations.
In the United States, less than half of violent crimes are ever investigated to the point where we might call them closed cases.
Police focus on nonviolent and petty offenders in part because it’s easier to do so. But there are other benefits as well. Harassing drug offenders can bring financial windfalls thanks to asset forfeiture laws that allow law enforcement agencies to confiscate private property even on the flimsiest of pretexts. These laws have been greatly strengthened by the drug war.
The Benefits of Reform
Just these three measures could go a long way in changing the incentives for police abuse while raising the likelihood of dismissal or other sanctions for abusive behavior. Whatever it is that motivates law enforcement officers who commit abusive acts, it is a safe bet that we would see less abuse if officers were not so well shielded from legal action which might hold them accountable. Moreover, if police were no longer empowered to accost and confront private citizens over petty drug and weapon offenses the opportunities for abuse would likely be substantially diminished.


newswars--2020-06-08--Poll: 85% of Americans Don’t Want To Defund Police

The overwhelming majority of Americans don ’ t want police departments defunded despite widespread calls by the far-left Democrats to do so , according to a recent poll .

Both China and Russia have continued to use the opportunity of the George Floyd protests and unrest on many American city streets to lash out at Washington at a deeply vulnerable moment for US leaders .
“ Who is more like Nazi Germany ?
” China ’ s state-run Global Times Editor-in-Chief Hu Xijin tweeted Sunday in response to Pompeo ’ s likening China ’ s crackdown on Hong Kong to Nazi Germany ’ s rapid and brutal WWII push across Europe .
A follow-up Global Times editorial underscored that the US government response of deploying National Guard troops in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blown the US ’ national reputation , uprooting Washington ’ s moral foundation for blaming other places , including Hong Kong , on human rights.
” Pompeo had made the provocative comparison in a Saturday interview with the conservative Daily Caller .
“ The promises that the Chinese Communist Party had made in their treaty with the United Kingdom that they broke when they made the decision to deny Hong Kong people the freedoms that they had been promised were similar to some of the promises that were broken back in the days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Europe , ” Pompeo said .
GT further attempted to to on the attack and dismantle the statement as follows : When rioters set Hong Kong on fire , US politicians called that a “ beautiful sight to behold , ” but when similar incidents swept the US , the same group of politicians decried them as riots that should be quelled .
Have Pompeo and his peers realized that their country is using up its resources and chances to play such double-standard tricks ?
By smearing China as Nazi Germany , Pompeo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While China has spared no efforts to put COVID-19 under control and saved numerous people , and while the US has exposed flaws in its system that has led to the world ’ s No.1 infections and top coronavirus death toll , Pompeo ’ s remarks can not deceive people from telling which country acts more like the Nazis .

China had not fought a war in 32 yrs, while the US has fought continuously on 4 continents. The US withdrew from many UN agencies that help bring world peace, while China is a staunch defender of UN. The US also launched an unprecedented trade war.

Pompeo had made the provocative comparison in a Saturday interview with the conservative Daily Caller.
“The promises that the Chinese Communist Party had made in their treaty with the United Kingdom that they broke when they made the decision to deny Hong Kong people the freedoms that they had been promised were similar to some of the promises that were broken back in the days when Germany advanced against the rest of Europe,” Pompeo said.
GT further attempted to to on the attack and dismantle the statement as follows:
When rioters set Hong Kong on fire, US politicians called that a “beautiful sight to behold,” but when similar incidents swept the US, the same group of politicians decried them as riots that should be quelled. Have Pompeo and his peers realized that their country is using up its resources and chances to play such double-standard tricks?
By smearing China as Nazi Germany, Pompeo clearly revealed Washington’s ideological hysteria. While China has spared no efforts to put COVID-19 under control and saved numerous people, and while the US has exposed flaws in its system that has led to the world’s No.1 infections and top coronavirus death toll, Pompeo’s remarks cannot deceive people from telling which country acts more like the Nazis.
Thus the now months-long war of words is centered on not just the coronavirus blame game, but the George Floyd protests, Hong Kong’s status, and which government is more Nazi-like, apparently.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin hasn’t been absent from spotlighting the cracks in US domestic society, with the Russian Foreign Ministry issuing a “you reap what you sow” message to the US and Europe amid continuing mass protests.
“By sowing chaos [abroad], they’ve got chaos at home,” ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told Rossiya 1 TV channel.
“Everything they’ve been embedding into the world’s consciousness – they’re reaping it now,” she added in reference to images of raging unrest on American streets, which has in the past days actually subsided compared to the intensity of a week ago.
She pointed to Washington’s long history of ‘divide and conquer’ tactics used to destabilize rivals and enemies of the US, which has now come home to roost in a perfect storm of pandemic, economic, and racial instability.

On the Moon, time and again boulders and blocks of rock travel downslope, leaving behind impressive tracks, a phenomenon that has been observed since the first unmanned flights to the Moon in the 1960s.

There is no excuse for such personal abuse .
Regardless of whether Turley is right on this one , it sounds like President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credibility , even if Turley doesn ’ t appreciate his method of doing so .

newswars--2020-06-08--Researchers Tackling Obesity With ‘Fat-Burning’ Molecule

Obesity affects more than 40 percent of adults in the United States and 13 percent of the global population .
With obesity comes a variety of other interconnected diseases including cardiovascular disease , diabetes , and fatty liver disease , which makes the disease one of the most difficult – and most crucial – to treat .
“ Obesity is the biggest health problem in the United States .
But , it is hard for people to lose weight and keep it off ; being on a diet can be so difficult .
So , a pharmacological approach , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be beneficial for all of society , ” said Webster Santos , professor of chemistry and the Cliff and Agnes Lilly Faculty Fellow of Drug Discovery in the College of Science at Virginia Tech .
Santos and his colleagues have recently identified a small mitochondrial uncoupler , named BAM15 , that decreases the body fat mass of mice without affecting food intake and muscle mass or increasing body temperature .
Additionally , the molecule decreases insulin resistance and has beneficial effects on oxidative stress and inflammation .
The findings , published in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , hold promise for future treatment and prevention of obesity , diabetes , and especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis ( NASH ) , a type of fatty liver disease that is characterized by inflammation and fat accumulation in the liver .
In the next few years , the condition is expected to become the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States .
The mitochondria are commonly referred to as the powerhouses of the cell .
The organelle generates ATP , a molecule that serves as the energy currency of the cell , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that help our body to function properly .
In order to make ATP , nutrients need to be burned and a proton motive force ( PMF ) needs to be established within the mitochondria .
The PMF is generated from a proton gradient , where there is a higher concentration of protons outside of the inner membrane and a lower concentration of protons in the matrix , or the space within the inner membrane .
The cell creates ATP whenever protons pass through an enzyme called ATP synthase , which is embedded in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or nutrient burning , is coupled to ATP synthesis .
“ So anything that decreases the PMF has the potential to increase respiration .
Mitochondrial uncouplers are small molecules that go to the mitochondria to help the cells respire more .
Effectively , they change metabolism in the cell so that we burn more calories without doing any exercise , ” said Santos , an affiliated member of the Fralin Life Sciences Institute and the Virginia Tech Center for Drug Discovery .
Mitochondrial uncouplers transport protons into the matrix by bypassing ATP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
To reestablish the gradient , protons must be exported out of the mitochondrial matrix .
As a result , the cell begins to burn fuel at higher than necessary levels .
Knowing that these molecules can change a cell ’ s metabolism , researchers wanted to be sure that the drug was reaching its desired targets and that it was , above all , safe .
Through a series of mouse studies , the researchers found that BAM15 is neither toxic , even at high doses , nor does it affect the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tells our body if we are hungry or full .
In the past , many anti-fat drugs would tell your body to stop eating .
But as a result , patients would rebound and eat more .
In the BAM15 mouse studies , animals ate the same amount as the control group – and they still lost fat mass .
Another side effect of previous mitochondrial uncouplers was increased body temperature .
Using a rectal probe , researchers measured the body temperature of mice who were fed BAM15 .
They found no change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arises concerning the half-life of BAM15 .
The half-life , or the length of time that a drug is still effective , is relatively short in the mouse model .
For oral dosing in humans , the optimal half-life is much longer .
Even as BAM15 has some serious potential in mouse models , the drug won ’ t necessarily be successful in humans – at least not this same exact molecule .
“ We are essentially looking for roughly the same type of molecule , but it needs to stay in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We are tweaking the chemical structure of the compound .
So far , we have made several hundred molecules related to this , ” said Santos .
The penultimate goal of the Santos lab is to transition the anti-fat treatment from animal models to a treatment for NASH in humans .
The lab has used their better compounds in animal models of NASH , which have been proven to be effective as anti-NASH compounds in mice .
Working alongside Santos is Kyle Hoehn , an assistant professor of pharmacology from the University @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biotechnology and biomolecular sciences at the University of New South Wales in Australia .
Hoehn is a metabolic physiology expert who is in charge of conducting the animal studies .
Santos and Hoehn have been collaborating for several years now and they even founded a biotech company together .

The company is looking to use mitochondrial uncouplers for more than just obesity and NASH .
The molecules also have a unique anti-oxygen effect that can minimize the accumulation of reactive oxygen species , or oxidative stress , in our bodies , which ultimately results in neurodegeneration and aging .

A liberal lawyer from Colorado is being charged with attempted murder and assault after he shot a driver in the head while the motorist tried to creep through a line of protesters blocking the road.
A nearby security camera captured the incident on tape.
Obtained by KRDO NewsChannel 13, video shows about a dozen protesters swarm the middle of the street before a truck approaches very slowly and attempts to make its way through the small group.
Despite driving extremely slow, not hitting anyone or even putting any of the protesters in danger, attorney James Marshall, 27, pulled out a handgun and shot the driver in the head.
The driver, Danny Pruitt, was found alert and sitting in his truck a half-mile down the road.
Pruitt is currently on life support in Colorado Springs hospital.
Marshall was arrested and charged with multiple crimes, but is now free after paying a $60,000 bond.
While protesters claimed Pruitt “plowed through the crowd,” video shows otherwise.
“We’ve heard the same thing,” Alamos Police Capt. Joey Spangler said of the rumors. “But again, it’s an ongoing investigation. I can say we have no evidence to show that he was driving into or through the protestors.”

The Democrat leadership in Congress knelt in tribute to George Floyd just before unveiling “ defund the police ” legislation in response to Floyd ’ s death at the hands of Minneapolis police .
Garbed in African scarves , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer led two dozen other Democrat lawmakers in Congress ’ Emancipation Hall in eight minutes and 46 seconds of silent kneeling to mark the length of time a police officer knelt on top of Floyd ’ s neck .
The Democrat leadership , joined by the Congressional Black Caucus , then introduced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” which seeks to “ end police brutality , hold police accountable , improve transparency in policing , ” according to a statement .
The far-left ’ s “ Defund The Police ” rallying cry gained traction over the weekend , resulting in some Democrat cities to acquiesce to their demands .
For example , the Minneapolis City Council pledged to completely disband its police department on Sunday , calling for the “ end of policing as we know it.
” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also vowed to defund the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looting in the city .
“ This is a transformative moment , so the actions today are a beginning , ” he said Sunday .
“ I expect us urgently , incessantly work for change for 18 months until the very last day we ’ re here .
I expect you to see and feel a different reality in the NYPD and in this city as a whole.

The Democrat leadership, joined by the Congressional Black Caucus, then introduced the “Justice and Policing Act,” which seeks to “end police brutality, hold police accountable, improve transparency in policing,” according to a statement.
The far-left’s “Defund The Police” rallying cry gained traction over the weekend, resulting in some Democrat cities to acquiesce to their demands.
For example, the Minneapolis City Council pledged to completely disband its police department on Sunday, calling for the “end of policing as we know it.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also vowed to defund the NYPD following days of violent rioting and looting in the city.
“This is a transformative moment, so the actions today are a beginning,” he said Sunday. “I expect us urgently, incessantly work for change for 18 months until the very last day we’re here. I expect you to see and feel a different reality in the NYPD and in this city as a whole.”
It’s a wonder the Democrats weren’t also carrying hot sauce in their pockets during their cringeworthy pander performance.

Despite known instances of police brutality and the recent militarization of law enforcement, there are still decent cops who don’t get off on power trips. The globalists know that these cops have no desire to allow the United States to fall from within, and that’s why they’re pushing to eradicate police forces across the country.

newswars--2020-06-08--George Floyd Protesters Asked About White Woman Killed by Somali Minneapolis Police Officer

During a protest over the death of George Floyd in Melbourne , protesters were asked about the death of Justine Damond , a white woman killed by a Somali Minneapolis Police Department officer , and not a single one of them cared .
40-year-old Justine Damond , an Australian-American woman , was fatally shot by Mohamed Noor , a Somali-American Minneapolis Police Department officer in July 2017 .
Damond had called 911 to report the assault of a woman in an alley behind her house but was shot by Noor as she approached his police car despite being unarmed .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t spark global protests against police brutality , presumably because the victim was white and the police officer wasn ’ t .
Avi Yemeni interviewed protesters at a Black Lives Matter march in Melbourne , Australia about whether they knew or cared about the death of Justine Damond .
Asked if Damond ’ s death was “ just as bad ” as George Floyd ’ s death , one black protester commented , “ Not it ’ s not , ” and immediately walked away .
Another woman said it was “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all lives matter ” and when asked if all lives matter responded , “ Not right now.
” When asked why there were no protests in Australia over Justine Damond , another woman remarked , “ Well , I ’ d have to say that ’ s a bit of white supremacy.
” “ Why is it white supremacy ?
” asked Yemini , to which the woman responded , “ Well , because she ’ s white.
” Apparently , being murdered while white by a non-white person is racist .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Australians had died in police custody , one man told Yemini , “ I don ’ t really care to be honest.
” Another group of protesters immediately left when Yemeni pointed out that more white people in America die at the hands of cops than black people .
Finally , when approached , another protester told Yemini to simply “ fuck off.

Damond had called 911 to report the assault of a woman in an alley behind her house but was shot by Noor as she approached his police car despite being unarmed.
Suffice to say, the incident didn’t spark global protests against police brutality, presumably because the victim was white and the police officer wasn’t.
Avi Yemeni interviewed protesters at a Black Lives Matter march in Melbourne, Australia about whether they knew or cared about the death of Justine Damond.
Asked if Damond’s death was “just as bad” as George Floyd’s death, one black protester commented, “Not it’s not,” and immediately walked away.
Another woman said it was “shit” that people were saying “all lives matter” and when asked if all lives matter responded, “Not right now.”
When asked why there were no protests in Australia over Justine Damond, another woman remarked, “Well, I’d have to say that’s a bit of white supremacy.”
“Why is it white supremacy?” asked Yemini, to which the woman responded, “Well, because she’s white.”
Apparently, being murdered while white by a non-white person is racist.
When asked if he knew how many white Australians had died in police custody, one man told Yemini, “I don’t really care to be honest.”
Another group of protesters immediately left when Yemeni pointed out that more white people in America die at the hands of cops than black people.
