They put protests against authority to sleep.
"Health officials are warning consumers to avoid prepackaged caramel apples after they were linked to five deaths and more than two dozen illnesses in 10 states. Those who fell ill got sick between Oct. 17 and Nov. 27. Christopher Braden of the CDC said the agency is still trying to determine the specific brands that were involved."
Any clue who did it?
"N.Y. pain doctor sentenced for overdose deaths" Associated Press December 20, 2014
NEW YORK — A pain doctor convicted of manslaughter in two patients’ overdose deaths was sentenced Friday to more than a decade in prison, after patients’ relatives pleaded for a tough punishment, saying he put money ahead of medicine.
Dr. Stan Li got a term of 10⅔ to 20 years in a case that reflected the widening reach of criminal prosecutions of physicians accused of abetting prescription drug abuse.
I thought the Supreme Court said no to that.
Believed to be New York’s first manslaughter case against a doctor in an overdose death, it also invoked the specter of drug-related violence: One of Li’s former patients shot four people in a pharmacy holdup.
‘‘This is a fair and just sentence, given Li’s egregious criminal conduct,’’ city special narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan said in a statement.
Li’s lawyer, Raymond Belair, didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry after court. He has called Li’s conviction a ‘‘miscarriage of justice’’ and said Li just tried to help people who misused medications and misled him.
Li, a 60-year-old anesthesiologist and pain management specialist from Hamilton, N.J., was convicted in July of manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and other charges.
He saw as many as 90 patients a day at a Queens weekend pain-management clinic that charged on a per-prescription scale, making at least $450,000 in two years on top of his six-figure salary as a hospital anesthesiologist, prosecutors said. Despite pleas from other doctors and patients’ families, he kept prescribing.

Or maybe it was the teenager in handcuffs that did it.

"Pawtucket police say two officers were assaulted while breaking up an unruly crowd outside a nightclub. One man was arrested and another is being sought. Officers responded to a fight near The Met on Main Street at about 1 a.m. Friday. Police say Officer Matthew Mello was trying to arrest a man when another person punched him in the head. Authorities say that when officers were arresting the man who punched Mello, a large group surrounded them, yelled obscenities and someone kicked a second officer, who wasn’t seriously hurt. Mello has been discharged from Rhode Island Hospital. Police charged 23-year-old Aderito Andrade of Pawtucket with assaulting Mello. He’s being held without bail. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer. Authorities are seeking the person who kicked the other officer."

And the cop who blasted them in the face with pepper spray?
"Trooper back on full duty amid pepper spray investigation" by Melissa Hanson, Globe Correspondent December 27, 2014
A trooper who was videotaped while apparently pepper-spraying a protester in Boston earlier this month has returned to full duty, the Massachusetts State Police said in a statement.
The trooper, who was not identified in the statement, was initially placed on restricted duty. An internal investigation of the Dec. 4 incident continues.
The video was filmed during a demonstration protesting violent police force following incidents in Ferguson, Mo., and Staten Island, N.Y., where unarmed black men were killed by police. It was posted to a YouTube account.
The 39-second video shows a protester with orange liquid running down his face.
The protester was not identified by State Police, who said they have attempted to contact him at his residence and through a relative. State Police have also visited a location the protester frequents and have sent certified mail to his residence. All attempts to contact him have gone unanswered, the statement said.
“The State Police have consistently expressed an interest in this individual’s version of the events as well as viewing any additional video he may have from the incident,” the statement said. “Absent his cooperation, a fair and complete assessment of the incident remains incomplete.”
