I donāt when it happened, but at some point cops stopped calling themselves peace officers and started calling themselves law enforcement officers (LEO).
From āpeaceā to āenforcementā. Not a good thing.
From the article: Until and unless jurors acquit Penny of the manslaughter charge, they may not move on to consider the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide in the death of the mentally ill homeless man who menaced passengers inside the subway car in which Penny was riding.
"Move on?" So they are stuck with deliberations on the manslaughter until... What?

The sugar market is highly political, and protected in many countries
The EU makes sugar, mostly from beets. They have effectively banned fructose, for economic and local agriculture lobby political reasons as well.
The USA makes beet sugar, makes a lot of cheap fructose (an isomer of sucrose), and also passes out import permits for cane sugar (sucrose) on a very political formula, to countries like Philippines, Thailand and Brazil
