Brent Thompson, 28, was killed in Fort Collins, Colorado, on February 18. He had been pulled over by the cops and ran away: a deputy tasered him, and a pickup truck followed him seconds later. Last week, the Larimer County District Attorney's Office announced that no criminal charges had been filed against Deputy Lorenzo Lujan, a move that enraged the Thompson family. Gordon McLaughlin, the district attorney, said that an investigation and analysis of Colorado law found that there is no guarantee of success in proving unanimously and beyond a reasonable doubt that Deputy Lorenzo Lujan is criminally culpable for his attempt to compel Brent Thompson's detention attempt.' The family intend to bring a civil case against Larimer County sheriffs, and Siddhartha Rathod, the family's counsel, said on Wednesday that the video was being posted to reveal what had happened.

How we're STILL in Stonewall's stranglehold, according to a special Mail investigation

Officials with an NHS Trust in Bath, Somerset, received the results of an investigation that had been conducted a few months ago. They were given 49 points out of a possible 159 points, implying they failed to qualify for an entry-level bronze award.' Several reasons were given for the Trust's disappointing results, including clinical staff's inability to use 'gendered words' such as "mother," "father," and "husband." The majority of patients did not bother to inquire patients' sexual orientation or if they were transgender, and some of them were also unable to determine whether they were transgender. The shamed Trust was still chastised for failing to install sanitary bins in all toilets, whether they were Gents or Ladies, although it did gain some recognition for the fact that some of its employees opted to wear badges displaying their preferred pronouns. Several employees, the study found, had 'homophobic' or 'transphobic' views. However, these did not seem particularly offensive on closer inspection.

Fossil fuel fields in Turkmenistan responsible for 'mind-boggling' methane emissions

The fossil fuel fields near Hazar, Turkey's Caspian Sea port city, produced 2.6 million tonnes of methane last year, according to ethical intelligence firm Kayrros, with facilities in the east of the country emitting 1.8 million tonnes. Despite the fact that the number of methane released by these fields, which is less than half of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions, is more effective at trapping heat in our atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Together, the two fields produced methane equivalent to 366 million tonnes in 2015, more than 30 million tonnes more than the UK's total estimated carbon emissions for 2022. According to provisional government data, the United Kingdom exported 331.5 million tonnes of CO2 last year, down by 2.4 percent from 2021.

Youth in Chorley have been attacked by a violent teenager who has assaulted children

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 2, 2022
According to Chief Superintendent Eddie Newton, the teen terrors behind the attacks, some on children as young as a teenager, should be ashamed' of their behavior. Their parents should also be having "frank" discussions about their sarcastic behavior, according to him. It comes after incensed mothers (pictured left and inset: Two of the mothers' children were assaulted) claim they are being pressured to take control of their own lives and patrol their local park following a string of brutal attacks (pictured right) on their children by the unruly youths. When walking through a park in the town, a shocking video reveals how the victims are violently set upon by the appalling yobs. The videos have appeared because, in a strange twist, the unrestrained teenagers were filming the incidents and posting them online as a terrifying act of humiliation. In the last year, up to eight parents in Chorley claim that the gangs have assaulted their children. Parents who have been chastised have come to an end, according to police, who have been accused of failing to take steps to muzzle the gangs. According to one parent, who was caught repeatedly kicked while lying down on the ground, her family waited for four months for an answer from the police. Despite the violent attack being caught on camera, another claims that officers took four days to record a statement from her daughter. And, in perhaps the most shocking situation, one parent told her that police would only arrest the perpetrators if her daughter's injuries were'more serious,' such as brain injury. Lancashire Police insist that its cops are taking a'proactive approach' to policing in the region, and that nine attackers have been identifie and dealt with since, according to police.

However, cynical parents (pictured left: Leana, whose daughter Indie was assaulted) have now reached their wits-end with police, who have been accused of failing to respond after being pushed.
