[BREITBART] two chemistry professors were accused of making methamphetamine in a school lab, sheriff’s deputies said. Terry David Bateman, 45, and Bradley Allen Rowland, 40, who both worked at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, as associate professors of chemistry were arrested Friday afternoon, the Clark County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
Bateman and Rowland face charges of manufacturing meth and using drug paraphernalia, and have been on administrative leave since October 11, KTRK reported.
Staff closed the university science center on October 8 after someone noticed a chemical odor, according to Tina Hall, the university’s associate vice president of marketing and communications.
The university reopened the building on October 29 after an on-call environmental service installed air filtering systems and temporarily removed windows to facilitate ventilation, Hall said.
Hall could not confirm what was found after the mysterious odor report or whether the professors made the meth inside the school.

[LawEnforcementToday] According to an AGG report, William Stewart Boyd traded his father’s old .38 caliber Smith & Wesson snub nose for less than $100 in a gun buyback in 2004. It was supposed to be destroyed, but somehow the same handgun with serial number J515268 was found next to a dead body involved in a police shooting eight years later.
Boyd, a judge in Cook County, had taken the handgun to a South Side church in Chicago, Illinois where he handed it over to a pair of plainclothes officers with badges on their belts.
“I’m doing the right thing,” he said in an interview with Chicago’s Sun Times, “and, in the process, someone didn’t do what they were supposed to do. That calls into question the process. What’s happening after you turn these weapons in?”
Great question – somehow, this Smith & Wesson .38 ended up in the hands of 22-year-old felon and gang member Cesar Munive – a man previously convicted of sexual abuse of a minor, unlawful use of a weapon, and battery.
During an interaction with the police in July 2012, Munive was shot and killed by Cicero (Illinois) Officer Donald Garrity.
Judge Boyd, rightfully, wants to know how the gun got into the hands of Munive.
There’s some grey area in that story. Officer Garrity has a long history of disciplinary problems and is currently collecting a disability pension for PTSD. Garrity was disciplined for using a “high powered rifle” during a traffic stop, threatening another officer, and was stopped once for going 90 mph in a 30-mph zone.
He was previously with the Berwyn Police Department and was hired by Cicero in 2012.
Munive’s family has accused Garrity of planting the handgun at the scene of the crime to justify his use of force. The family attorney said there were “plenty of warnings readily available to any reasonable police department that it was not safe to put a gun in the hands of such an unstable individual.”
The city of Cicero is ready to pay Munive’s family $3.5 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit out of court.

Idiot. You wanna kill elements of opportunity at least have a plan.
You keep aside a secret stash of un-marked guns or saturday night specials for planting. You don't plant a gun already in the system, with a serial no.
Now the city pays and cops lose. As for the Cook county judge... err, Boyd - Faggot !
[NYPOST] A 5-year-old boy took a superhero-stamped baggie of his dad’s heroin to his Massachusetts kindergarten ‐ telling teachers it turned him into Spider-Man when he tasted it, according to a report.
The youngster sparked alarm at the H.B. Lawrence Elementary School in Holyoke last Thursday after showing off the baggie with a stamp of the Marvel superhero, officials told the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
After his apparent confession about tasting it ‐ telling teachers he had put it in his mouth ‐ the boy was raced to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, the report says. He appeared healthy and officials believe he may have escaped ingesting any of the drug from the sealed bag.
"[The boy] loves Spider-Man," Holyoke Police Lt. James Albert told the paper. "Our officers were quite taken by it all. You don’t often deal with this."
His 29-year-old dad, Benny Garcia, was arrested after officers found him sleeping in bed on top of numerous other bags holding the same white powder, according to the paper.
"The officers located the same sort of baggie (of) heroin stamped ’Spider-Man’ that the child brought to school in a dresser drawer of the defendant’s bedroom," Assistant District Attorney Matthew Green said in court, calling it "a particularly shocking and egregious" case.
Police found at least 170 baggies of heroin as well as baggies and Ziploc bags of cocaine, the paper said, citing court documents.
When officers told Garcia what happened to his son he became "very emotional," according to the court documents.
Garcia pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to charges of drug possession and reckless endangerment of a child, the report said. Judge William Rota ordered him held until a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Nov. 20.
The boy and an infant sibling were removed from the family home by the Department of Children and Families, the report said.
[CNN] The teenager who murdered his father and then opened fire on a South Carolina school playground, killing a 6-year-old boy, was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday.
Judge R. Lawton McIntosh also sentenced Jesse Osborne, 17, to 30 more years for three attempted murders in the September 2016 school shooting.
Osborne was 14 when he shot his father in their home. He then went to a Townville elementary school where he shot and wounded two children and a teacher. Jacob Hall, one of the children, died three days later.
Osborne, who pleaded guilty last year, told the court he didn't know why he did it.
"I just ask you give me hope for the future and get me help because I do need help," Osborne said. "I want help."
The prosecutor said he was pleased with the sentence.
"He (Osborne) is a very dangerous individual. I think he's shown that by his conduct," 10th Judicial Circuit Solicitor David Wagner told reporters. "The judge made the right call."
Osborne attorney Frank Eppes said he will appeal the sentence.
[NYPOST] Myles Garrett was apologetic, but he’s challenging the NFL’s discipline.
The Browns star will appeal his indefinite suspension that is set to last at least the remainder of this season, according to NFL Network, after he hit Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph in the head with Rudolph’s helmet Thursday night.
Garrett, 23, will argue that players cannot be suspended for an indefinite period of time for on-field acts under the collective bargaining agreement, NFL Network reports. The defensive end is looking for an exact number of games along with a reduction of the suspension which at minimum will cost him the final six regular-season games and any potential postseason games this year. He will not get paid while suspended. The appeal decision could be reached by Wednesday.
"Last night, I made a terrible mistake," Garrett said Friday in a statement. "I lost my cool and what I did was selfish and unacceptable. I know that we are all responsible for our actions and I can only prove my true character through my actions moving forward.
"I want to apologize to Mason Rudolph, my teammates, our entire organization, our fans and to the NFL. I know I have to be accountable for what happened, learn from my mistake and I fully intend to do so."
Meanwhile, ...back at the laboratory, Igor and Oleg were discussing what the quickest way might be to deal with the monster... Rudolph is expected to be fined for his role in the incident, in which the quarterback grabbed at Garrett’s helmet before Garrett ripped Rudolph’s helmet off and bashed Rudolph in the head. According to ESPN, the fine guideline for a first-time fighting offense is $35,096.

$35K as a fine for NFL stars is like $5 to you and me. If you really want to get your point across, fine time rather than $. Make him work 500 hours serving community service in domestic abuse shelters.

If he is going to lose his paycheck for 6 games then he is about to take a 1.2 million $$ paycut. So the fine is peanuts and the suspension is the real penalty.

[DAWN] Bolivia’s political crisis turned deadly again when security forces opened fire on supporters of Evo Morales. At least five people died and dozens were maimed, threatening the interim governments efforts to restore stability following the resignation of the former president in an election dispute.
Most of the dead and injured in Sacaba, near the city of Cochabamba, had been shot, Guadalberto Lara, director of the towns Mexico Hospital, said. He called it the worst violence hes seen in his 30-year career.
Angry demonstrators and relatives of the victims gathered at the site of the shootings, chanting: Civil war, now! Morales, who was granted asylum in Mexico after his Nov 10 resignation, said on Twitter that a massacre had occurred and he described the interim government led by Jeanine ez as a dictatorship.
Now they are killing our brothers in Sacaba, Cochabamba, he said in another tweet.
At least 13 other people had died during weeks of earlier protests against Morales before his departure, according to the national Ombudsman’s Office. Several came in festivities between the presidents backers and those accusing him of fraudulently trying to win reelection.

In other parts of the city, Maduro supporters wearing red shirts prepared for a scheduled rally at the presidential palace in the center of Caracas. Maduro's socialist party also called upon its members to protest in solidarity with his ally Morales, who currently resides in exile in Mexico.
"If we stay at home, we will lose,'' Guaido said before marching with demonstrators to Bolivia's embassy in eastern Caracas. "Today, tomorrow and Monday - we will be in the street."
One protester, Deborah Angarita, a 60-year-old retired office worker, said while the rally was not large, she felt determined to "stay in the streets until the regime leaves."
Lisbeth Guerra, another protester, said she closed her two electronics shops to attend the protests. "More than anything, I want other nations in the world to take note of our crisis."

[Atimes] Police threaten to use live ammo after protesters shoot arrows and throw gasoline bombs at officers.
Pro-democracy demonstrators holed up in a Hong Kong university campus set the main entrance ablaze Monday to prevent surrounding police moving in after officers warned they may use live rounds if confronted by deadly weapons.
The police warning, which came after one officer was struck by an arrow, marked a further escalation of the near six-month crisis engulfing the city.
China has repeatedly warned that it will not tolerate dissent, and there are growing concerns that Beijing could intervene directly to end the spiraling unrest.
Several loud blasts were heard around dawn on Monday before a wall of fire lit up an entrance to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), AFP reporters said, as what appeared to be a police attempt to enter the campus was repelled by protesters determined to hold their ground.
Police said they had fired three live rounds in the early hours of Monday at a protest site near the university but that no one appeared to have been hit.
Intense clashes throughout Sunday, which saw a police officer hit in the leg by an arrow and protesters meet police tear gas with volleys of petrol bombs, rolled overnight across the Kowloon district, as a call went out to defend the besieged campus.
There, protesters had hunkered down under umbrellas from occasional fire from police water cannon and hurled Molotov cocktails at an armored vehicle, leaving it ablaze on a flyover near the campus.

[NYPOST] President Trump unexpectedly came to Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... ’s defense on Sunday ‐ but only to say he was "somewhat" better than a rabid dog.
"Mr. Chairman, Joe Biden may be Sleepy and Very Slow, but he is not a ’rabid dog,'" Trump tweeted in an apparent direct message to North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... n leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... , following the country’s shocking attack that also said Biden should be "beaten to death with a stick."
"He is actually somewhat better than that," Trump wrote of the Democratic frontrunner, who has been leading in national polls but is lagging behind South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg ...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He is running for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country... in the latest Des Moines Register/CNN poll.
The commander in chief then used his tweet to push the fact that he has come further than any previous president in creating dialogue over nuclear weapons with the hostile nation.
"I am the only one who can get you where you have to be. You should act quickly, get the deal done. See you soon!" Trump tweeted.
Far be it from me to try and teach English to the editors at one of America's major newspapers, but on what planet does President Trump unexpectedly came to Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden’s defense on Sunday ‐ but only to say he was "somewhat" better than a rabid dog.

[AlAhram] French police arrested 254 people during festivities in Gay Paree and other cities on the first anniversary of the "yellow vest" movement, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said Sunday.
The violence in Gay Paree, where police battled rioters for hours around the southeastern Place d'Italie square, was the worst in the French capital in months.
A total of 173 people were arrested in the city, Castaner told Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... 1 radio, revising upwards Saturday's count of 147.
Dozens more were arrested in smaller protests in cities including Nantes, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Bordeaux and Toulouse ...lies on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in La Belle France... Further protests are planned Sunday.
Castaner claimed that there were "few demonstrators" among at the protesters Saturday in Gay Paree, who he said were mainly "thugs, brutes who came to fight the security forces and prevent the emergency services from doing their work."
Several cars were overturned or set alight, bus shelters were smashed and a monument to a World War II hero - Marshal Alphonse Juin -- was defaced.
The windows of a major shopping centre and a neighbouring hotel were also attacked by groups of stone-throwing demonstrators dressed in black, who wore masks to hide their faces.
The police, who had initially authorised the demonstration but declared it illegal after it turned violent, used tear gas and water cannon to try quell the unrest.
In rural La Belle France, the anniversary passed off generally peacefully, with thousands of yellow vests occupying the traffic roundabouts where the movement began last year over rising fuel taxes.
The interior ministry put the number of demonstrators at 28,600 nationwide but the organisers said nearly 40,000 people had rallied -- a far cry from the estimated 282,000 who took part in the first big day of protests on November 17, 2018.
The leaderless yellow vests, who accuse President Emmanuel Macron of ruling on behalf of the urban elite, are adamant that they have not gone away.
They are now looking to join forces with the trade union movement, which is planning a major transport strike over pension reforms starting on December 5.
[IsraelTimes] Software giant has come under scrutiny over its investment in AnyVision, whose surveillance technology is used to track Palestinians.
Why Eric Holder, of all people?
Microsoft is hiring former US attorney general Eric Inaction Jackson Holder ... aka Mister Fast and Furious... to review its investment in an Israeli facial recognition startup that scans faces at military checkpoints in the West Bank.
Microsoft said in a statement Friday that Holder will lead a team of former federal prosecutors conducting an audit.
Its aim is to determine whether Israeli firm AnyVision’s technology applications comply with Microsoft’s ethical principles against using facial recognition for mass surveillance.
Microsoft’s announcement came in the wake of an October 28 MSNBC report on its investment.
AnyVision announced a $74 million investment in June from a group including Microsoft’s venture capital arm.
The firm and its Microsoft backing attracted public scrutiny as the Israeli military installed face scanners at border crossings where Paleostinians enter Israel from the West Bank.
A recent report by Israeli business paper The Marker said that the Israeli military also uses technology provided by AnyVision in cameras dotting the Paleostinian territories. The cameras and database are being used to identify and track potential Paleostinian assailants, the report said.
Another investor in AnyVision is the US semiconductor and telecommunications equipment firm Qualcomm.
AnyVision was founded in 2015 by Eylon Etshtein and Prof. Neil Roberston and has Tamir Pardo, a former head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence service, on its advisory board, according to its website.

Facial recognition software works well on faces of ‘white’ people. So you see why Holder was asked to evaluate the ethics of the platform. This is right in his wheel house.

^ Bingo.
Holder is race-hustling ever tech giant that can be cowed. Uber, Google, Microsoft... It's another version of Jesse Jackson's old PUSH race-based shakedown.
[San Francisco Chronicle] A federal jury in San Francisco awarded Planned Parenthood more than $2.2 million in damages Friday against antiabortion activists who posed as fetal researchers to enter abortion-rights meetings and secretly record participants, rejecting the activists’ claims that they were acting as undercover journalists to expose wrongdoing.
After a monthlong trial, the jurors found that David Daleiden, his employee Sandra Merritt and their collaborators had violated state and federal laws against trespassing, fraud, clandestine recording and racketeering, as well as the nondisclosure agreements the two signed before entering the meetings.
NDAs matter.
Jurors awarded Planned Parenthood more than $500,000 as compensation for the intrusions and $870,000 in punitive damages. Under federal racketeering law, most of the compensation will be tripled.
Jurors also concluded that both Daleiden and Merritt had violated a California criminal law against secretly recording conversations without consent. They both face criminal charges under that law in a separate proceeding in San Francisco Superior Court. Friday’s verdict has no direct impact on the criminal prosecution, which has a higher standard of proof, but it suggested that the defendants have a formidable task in justifying their actions to a jury.
Daleiden, who heads an organization called the Center for Medical Progress, and Merritt entered the abortion conferences by posing as researchers for a nonexistent company called BioMax Procurement Services. The conferences included the annual meetings of the National Abortion Federation in San Francisco in 2014 and in Baltimore in 2015, as well as Planned Parenthood gatherings.
