INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.
They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.
Put her in a choke hold and the other kids jumped in to beat his ass. The kids are alright.

Maybe you know the story of Dr. Barry Marshall, who intentionally infected himself with Helicobacter pylori, developed gastritis, peptic ulcers & bad breath.
He proved that ulcers are caused by bacteria in 1984, received a Nobel Prize (with Warren) in 2005.
But there's a much deeper history!

Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men
This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so Iβll do a bit of an explainer here too!
The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.
