What happens when a city increases the size of its police force? According to research from University of Pennsylvania criminologist Aaron Chalfin and colleagues from the University of Oregon, the University of California, Los Angeles, and Barnard College, homicides and other serious violence decreases, but arrests for low-level offenses like liquor violations and drug possession increase.

Research led by the Centenary Institute and University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has identified a small RNA molecule called microRNA-21 as a therapeutic target and its inhibition as a potential treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). An inflammatory lung disease that makes it hard to breathe, COPD is often caused by smoking tobacco products or inhaling air pollution. It is the third most common cause of death in the world. In the pre-clinical study, the researchers found elevated levels of microRNA-21 in experimental COPD models involving mice. Use of a microRNA-21 inhibitor (antagomir-21) as a therapeutic treatment was shown...

In 2009 a former Kansas State Trooper and Kansas Marshal, Greg Evensen, wrote an article about the death of liberty.“You certainly do not have to be a trained state trooper—or any other level police agent—to use common sense, logic and knowledge, to assess the crime scene,” Evensen wrote on 29 July 2009.He continued: “As [the USA] government began its sickening expansion: policing became a meaner and nastier job… Now we have become eaves-dropping, roadblock setting, door crashing, face grinding, arm breaking, pursuit driven bastards that have sold their asses to the government masters hell bent on establishing the TRUE reincarnation...

ransomnote: Fauci's insider network (favored labs, univserities, researchers) publishes peer-reviewed papers and reporting on the Covid virus. Then independents come along offering proof that there are no registered, isolated samples of the Covid virus for those researchers to use, or for vaccine makers to use when creating 'vaccines.' A FReeper tried to buy a sample and was told none were available. Researchers routinely report that they are told that registered isolated virus samples are 'unvailable." Sometimes the CDC admits there's none available.Dr. Judy Mikovits crossed Anthony Fauci long before Covid, and exposed the medical fraud he was engaging in back...

Gilliam stated, “When he had his weapon and he was confronted by these imminent threats of loss of life or serious bodily injury, he engaged in a proper manner to eliminate the threat. You didn’t see him out there hammering people down, mowing people down. It’s when the threat got too close and it posed an imminent threat … he took action.” Rittenhouse’s control of his firearm was “amazing,” Gilliam emphasized. “[He] held his weapon properly … kept his weapon in his hands when he was getting beat [and] when he was running. He wasn’t sweeping people. He didn’t drop...
