Farmers holding black flags and wearing black armbands and some women protesters with black 'dupattas' shouted slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government for not acceding to their demands. Protesters in Sonipat and Jhajjar districts and some other places brought their tractor-trolleys and other vehicles and parked them in the middle of the KMP Expressway in some stretches. The Haryana Police had made arrangements for traffic diversions and deployed adequate personnel.

Source: MJ Sharps/wombatphoto PTSD is a major problem in law enforcement.  PTSD was essentially the same, in terms of its symptoms, for centuries before modern media highlighted it for the general public (e. g ., Sharps & Price-Sharps, 2019). PTSD is real, and it has been for a very long time. Yet you still run into people who question the importance of PTSD. Not necessarily the condition as such; but rather the relevance of PTSD for them , personally. Paradoxically, many of these people are law enforcement officers. Tom Wolfe wrote an excellent book, The Right Stuff (1979) , about the NASA Mercury program and the astronauts who flew the Mercury rockets into space. The Right Stuff is what those astronauts had, according to Wolfe; a kind of courage, coupled with a self-effacing facade, that dealt with any hazard with competence, absolute courage, and a kind of style seldom seen under life-threatening conditions. The Right Stuff is what many modern law … [Read more...] about Killing Hickok: Wild Bill, PTSD, and The Right Stuff

OTTAWA—This is what brawls look like on the top court bench. Judges don’t throw off their robes and come to blows. What they do — judicial jousting — is more subtle. Split rulings. Lengthy dissenting opinions. Constitutional decisions that see judges split not only into two groups, but sometimes going three or four different ways. Wary court watchers are now wondering if the Supreme Court of Canada is as divided or as polarized as the rest of us. Since becoming prime minister in 2015, Justin Trudeau has named three new judges to the country’s top court, and elevated Justice Richard Wagner to the post of Chief Justice. In that time, the nine-member Supreme Court of Canada has turned into an unruly crew. Outwardly, they are friendly, collegial and professional. But a look at their rulings — as legal scholars and lawyers are increasingly pointing out — shows a judicial team “of equals” that is struggling to find its voice as Canada’s top court. When the latest rookie, … [Read more...] about Judicial jousting emerges at Supreme Court of Canada

MILAN - The Milan fashion house Dolce&Gabbana has filed a defamation suit in an Italian court seeking over $600 million in damages from two U.S. fashion bloggers who reposted anti-Asian comments attributed to one of the designers that led to a boycott by Asian consumers . The suit was filed in Milan civil court in 2019 but only became public this week when the bloggers posted about it on their Instagram account, Diet Prada. Their feed is widely followed in the fashion world for its cutting commentary on unoriginality in designs and on social issues. "This whole case is a way of trying to silence Diet Prada, and to silence Tony (Liu) and Lindsay (Schuyler) personally,'' said Susan Scafidi, director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham Law School, which is coordinating the bloggers' defense. Lawyers for Dolce&Gabbana reached by the AP declined to comment on the case. The case dates back to November 2018, when Dolce&Gabbana faced a boycott in Asia after … [Read more...] about Dolce&Gabbana seeks over $600M damages from 2 US bloggers
