TiLTNews Network: Earth Watch - Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference, not by safety. It is easy to clamor for government security when terrible things happen; but liberty is given true meaning when we support it without exception, and we will be safer for it ~ Dr. Ron Paul

Cop Slams Mom to Pavement, Knocks Her Unconscious in Front of Six-year-old Daughter
COP SLAMS MOM TO PAVEMENT, KNOCKS HER UNCONSCIOUS IN FRONT OF SIX-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
Police chief stands by officer's brutal use of force

A Texas police officer is under investigation after cell phone video surfaced showing him knocking a mother unconscious by slamming her to the pavement in full public view.
On Tuesday, Round Rock police officer Ben Johnson responded to a call at a shopping center involving 27-year-old Viviana Keith.
Dash cam footage shows Officer Johnson detaining Keith on the hood of his cruiser.
But another angle shot by a nearby Wing Stop customer shows the gruesome moment the officer slammed Keith to the pavement, her face brutally hitting the concrete causing her to lose consciousness.
Johnson eventually rolls Keith over and checks for a pulse, as her six-year-old daughter approaches, screaming, “Mommy! Mommy!”

Witnesses on the scene said the mother appeared to be dead.
“When I look back at the tape, I can see her head bounce off the concrete because when he threw her down, she wasn’t able to brace herself,” the person who shot the video told KVUE, adding he “wanted to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.”
“She was absolutely unconscious.”
“There were a couple of other gentleman in the store with me and we were saying, ‘is she breathing?’ Because at first we weren’t seeing her stomach rise and fall.”
Prior to the incident, Keith was reportedly belligerent inside a nail salon.
“She was a little loud, and disruptive,” a Deluxe Nails patron told KVUE. “She said she was very tired, really tired and they said, ‘Maybe you should go home and get some sleep,’ and then she turned around and stumbled out.”
After that, police say they also received calls about an “erratic driver, driving carelessly.”
Witnesses say Keith’s daughter revealed her mother had been drinking all day.
Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks upon viewing the footage said he stands by Officer Johnson’s decision to brutalize the “very combative, very argumentative and also very intoxicated” mother, saying the four-year police force veteran followed protocol.
“The officer was very professional, was talking to her calm, he wasn’t excited, he wasn’t angry,” Banks said. “It’s unfortunate, the fact that this lady did what appears to hit her head and was knocked unconscious, but I’ll tell you, the officer did what he was supposed to do in a situation like that.”
A mugshot from the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office shows Keith sustained a black eye and a large cut.
She is currently in jail facing charges of driving while intoxicated with a child younger than 15 and interfering with public duties.
Officer Johnson is still on the job as Round Rock Police investigate the use of force incident.

4 Terrible Facts About Energy Drinks
4 TERRIBLE FACTS ABOUT ENERGY DRINKS
Good reasons to stay far away from those evil sugar-laden drinks

Usually marketed with the lure of more energy or a mental or physical boost, energy drinks usually feature a cocktail of caffeine and vitamins (and maybe something like ginseng or taurine). Sales in the U.S. are on the rise, with a 10 percent increase from 2008 to 2012. This is a global concern—yes, concern. Energy drinks are quickly becoming a public health crisis since high caffeine levels could lead to caffeine intoxication, a condition that can lead to “heart palpitations, hypertension, nausea and vomiting, convulsions, psychosis, and in rare cases, death.” [1] That alone sounds like reason enough to stay far away from those evil energy drinks.
Energy Drinks Facts
Energy drinks aren’t just geared toward college students looking to add an extra jump to their all nighters. In fact, many people of all ages are consuming energy drinks as a mere substitute for water, soda, and coffee. Here are some of the facts about energy drinks you should know.
1. Energy Drinks Are Marketed to Kids
No matter how old you are, energy drinks are just awful for your body! The Academy of Pediatrics even advises kids and teens to avoid them altogether because of the possibility of serious health risks. [2] But even that warning won’t stop advertisers. A recent study suggested energy drinks are more heavily marketed on TV channels geared to teens and kids. [3] As kids get older, this marketing suggestion could even lead to binge drinking. With energy drinks a common mixer for alcohol, teens that mix the two are 4 times more likely to binge drink. [4]
2. Energy Drinks Are Portrayed as Buzz-Producing Drugs…and Kind of Are
Do you just have to start your day with a cup of coffee (or two—maybe even three)? Unless you’re drinking decaf, you’re likely craving the caffeine. Well, energy drinks are packed with it, and some are concerned what that high-caffeine content will do in the mix of other ingredients. [5] So if scientists still aren’t sure about the caffeine issue, do you really want that drink in your body? One study even suggests kids who drink energy drinks are 66 percent more likely to be “at risk for hyperactivity or other attention problems.” [6] Is that buzz really worth it?
3. Energy Drinks Ruin Athletic Performance
After drinking an energy drink, “athletes felt they had more strength, power and resistance,” but that’s really only the high caffeine providing that edge. [7]Those other ingredients in energy drinks provide no more energy than you’ll find in a soda. What you could get instead is increased “insomnia, nervousness and level of stimulation in the hours following competition,” and, in the long run, that could sabotage your athletic performance.
4. Energy Drinks Are Bad for Your Heart
There are lots of reasons energy drinks are evil, but this one might take the cake. Energy drinks are a popular choice during exercise and when out at a club, and so many people drink them one after another. [8] Not only could this lead to caffeine intoxication as mentioned earlier, but recent research suggests possible heart problems: “angina (chest pain), cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)”—“even sudden death.”
One Final Thought
Energy drinks could even be contributing to the downfall of society, a fact that is recognized by some. A recent study suggests “boys who consumed energy drinks at least weekly spent approximately four additional hours per week playing video games.” But it’s more than just playing video games; teens that drink energy drinks are more likely to participate in other negative behaviors like smoking or, returning to my first point from above, binge drinking.

WATCH: HERE’S AN ACTUAL AD FOR A NEW DC ‘ABORTION SPA’
Time to stop playing nice. conservatives
by WESTERN JOURNALISM | STEVEN CROWDER | APRIL 23, 2015
Okay. Firstly, yes this is a real ad. No, it’s not from SNL or Comedy Central. At first, I thought that it was a joke. I mean, it had to be. Until I went to the Carafem website and saw that they were genuinely presenting an abortion procedure to be as relaxed as a day at the spa. Watch the video for context first.
See, this is how society circles the drain. I predicted this exactly 6 years ago. Liberals understand how to subvert culture. This commercial is so flippant, so coarse, that people may just be fooled into thinking that abortion is actually, completely normal. In one of my first videos ever, I addressed the abortion lobby’s “used car salesman” tactics. At the time, they seemed far-fetched.
Some conservatives were offended at that video 6 years ago. You should be. Because killing a baby and sucking it down a tube is offensive. But if you compare the two videos, mine, which was designed as over-the-top satire, is now actually quite tame compared to the real thing. Abortion clinics are now calling themselves “spas” and putting out comedy commercials. That’s how far we’ve come.
The 4 Most Disturbing Facts about ADHD
THE 4 MOST DISTURBING FACTS ABOUT ADHD
One study shows pesticides have a huge impact on ADHD risk
by DR. EDWARD F. GROUP III | INFOWARS.COM | APRIL 20, 2015
Kids (and adults) with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have difficulties staying on task or finishing things, and while there are other problems associated with it, these two symptoms alone can make life tough. But there are other facts you should know about ADHD. Here are 4 disturbing ones you’ll want to know.
1. ADHD Can Result from Trauma
If you have ADHD, completing simple tasks can sometimes seem like big obstacles; sometimes you might wonder, just what caused this? Well, a recent report suggested it could be environmental and that an ADHD diagnosis could be connected to childhood trauma. [1] For example, things like the death of a parent or domestic violence are termed ‘adverse childhood events (ACEs).’ The more ACEs in a child’s life, the more likely it is that child has (or will be diagnosed with) ADHD.
2. ADHD Can Cause Premature Death
If you haven’t learned to cope, an ADHD diagnosis can be hard to deal with, and recent evidence doesn’t seem to make that any easier. In a multi-decade study following almost 2 million people, those with ADHD (about 32,000) were twice as likely to die earlier in life. [2] And if that wasn’t bad enough, those deaths were often from unnatural causes—usually accidents. The risk of dying also went up based on a person’s age at diagnosis, and women and girls with ADHD were at a higher risk of early deaths than men and boys with the disorder.
3. ADHD Could Be Something We Give Ourselves
Since a major factor for ADHD could be our level of toxin exposure, it could, to a certain extent, be preventable. Avoiding toxins is a great idea regardless of reason, so here are some things you can do. First, avoid tobacco smoke at all costs. Smoking during pregnancy, or even being around cigarette smoke, can put your child at a greater risk for ADHD. [3] Fluoridated water could even be a cause of ADHD, or at least a big contributor. In one study, scientists “found that states with a higher portion of artificially fluoridated water had a higher prevalence of ADHD.” [4] Pesticides are bad news for everyone, with one study showing their huge impact on ADHD risk. [5]
4. ADHD is Being Treated with Dangerous Drugs and Little Else
Only about a quarter of U.S. children with ADHD are treated with behavioral therapy. [6] The rest rely solely on dangerous stimulants. And some think that the over reliance on drugs has less to do with medicine and more to do with big business. [7]Pharmaceutical companies really push these medications–often with extreme marketing tactics. This leads many to believe that when it comes to ADHD, our society is over medicated. Take into account that safety testing is pretty spotty—and, well, they could be onto something. [8]
One Final Thought
But with all the disturbing facts out there surrounding ADHD, keep in mind that you might not even have it. There are a lot of conditions that can mimic ADHD—thyroid disorders or certain allergies, for example. But if you are completely certain it’s ADHD, there is research out there that suggests ADHD symptoms can be avoided through exercise. [9] Another report suggests living at higher altitudes leads to fewer ADHD cases.[10] Still, many children just “outgrow” ADHD symptoms, but there are many adults that still experience difficulties.
