Chemist, toxicologist and political junkie. I'm a simple girl who just wants evidence-based policy and representatives at least as smart as my dog.

@DoctorTee4 @Holiistically You are assuming a lot.

So your definition of being tough on crime is to shoot at any fleeing suspect?

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@GoldieLocks1776 Bull. And if she’d gotten shot for throwing a receipt in his face you’d say that was assault.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@DoctorTee4 @Holiistically Those innocent families in the parking lot were put in danger by the police officer. As you point out, he likely didn’t hit his intended target.
Allowing them to leave would have been better for everyone.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@DoctorTee4 @Holiistically You’re saying he knowingly shot into a fleeing car with a baby sitting on a lap. That doesn’t protect the public.
I don’t stop and show my receipt when asked at WalMart though I’ve never stolen anything.
Gee, I wonder why they don’t call the police on me?

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@DoctorTee4 @Holiistically You aren’t waiting to condemn the mother.
You think the officer is traumatized by having accused shoplifters don’t stop when he tells them to? If that’s the case it sounds like his department failed to get him the help he needs.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@DoctorTee4 @Holiistically lol? A baby died. Burden proof is on those accusing her.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@pete4TX1836 @leebee4life He fired into a fleeing car per the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@JokerJill69 @californiabarby I have never stolen anything from Walmart or anywhere else and I do not stop for receipt checkers.
It’s a waste of my time and does nothing to prevent shrinkage.
You are very quick to presume guilt for the mother.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@Tennessean From the article - “Officer shot into car as it fled the scene. “ - directly from the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.
Clearly not justified.

@Luizmd The people who are doing research are the people who are getting grants to do research.

The people who are doing research are are those who are capable of reviewing other research in the same field. That’s why it’s called peer review.

@simonmaechling Oddly they are the exact same people who are convinced a part per billion of glyphosate in beer is going to kill them but particulate emissions from coal fired power plant is the healthiest air to breathe and saying otherwise is a plot to overthrow capitalism

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@VoteMarsha Our infant and maternal mortality, child poverty, poor education outcomes and high incarceration rates aren’t going to be solved by your meaningless trash talking about other states.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@LauraLoomer Why is he gripping her arm like that?

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@HeireSOfLiberty @simonmaechling The dose makes the poison and for non-essential personal care items you are free to choose no to use them. Just be wary of people who claim that whatever they are selling you to use instead is actually safer and not just different.

@HeireSOfLiberty @simonmaechling How do the nutrients plants need to grow get into hydroponic water?

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@HeireSOfLiberty @simonmaechling Who knew it? Most heavy metals aren’t from agrochemicals.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@HeireSOfLiberty @simonmaechling Pushing for lower heavy metal limits in infant foods is good.
But those metals are from environmental contamination. So an influencer pushing you to buy their products to make your own infant foods is unlikely to lower exposure.

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@HeireSOfLiberty @simonmaechling Substantiated just means there is credible evidence. The FDA isn’t a gatekeeper of evidence.
Why do you trust anyone who claims you are being harmed with no evidence?

[Denise Mitchell @DistractedChem]

@HeireSOfLiberty @simonmaechling Every hazard isn’t a risk. Paying for a product to avoid a hazard with no substantiated risk of harm to health when that product itself may actually carry a true risk to health is unethical. For example, an herbal “remedy” that is contaminated with mycotoxins.
