This is part 1 of a two-part episode in which I interview Julio Mateo, a friend of mine who is originally from Spain who moved here years ago and does quite a few things here in Dayton that you may have run into him at. One of those things, however, is working on police reform efforts here in Dayton, which Julio has done for years now. While I was still working for the City of Dayton I worked on those efforts some as well, although I did so through my work as a facilitator for the Dayton Mediation Center. I worked on the Use of Force Committee, chaired by (now) Mayor Jeff Mims and Representative Willis Blackshear, Jr. In this episode, Julio explains how he got into police reform work and talks some about the reform process and some of his frustrations with that process and what's come out of it. We also discuss the case of Clifford Owensby, a paraplegic man who was pulled from his car during a traffic stop by Dayton police by his arms and hair, and which made national headlines. That event took place after the end of the police reform effort, so we discuss that and more on this episode. Be sure to listen to part 2 when it comes out on Wednesday (July 6, 2022). You can read the NPR story about Mr. Owensby here: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/10/1044884579/police-dragged-a-paraplegic-man-from-his-car-after-he-told-them-he-couldnt-get-o Finally, I didn't exactly intend for this episode to come out on Independence Day at first, but I think it's fitting, as we could always use the reminder as Americans that the United States locks up more people than any other country in the world, both per capita and in absolute terms.

Lecture summary: Civil war is the greatest military challenge of our time in terms of real time suffering. The mere mention of Afghanistan, Congo, Libya, Somalia, and Syria supports the point. Internal conflicts like these not only result in mass death and destruction of the built and natural environments, they leave populations traumatized for generations. And they impact life far beyond the places of fighting. Mass migration from these wars is helping to trigger demagoguery and destabilization seen around the world. International lawyers are engaged with many of the issues raised by civil war, yet they have done relatively little work on the central questions of whether resort to armed rebellion and intervention in them are lawful. The lecture will investigate the lack of attention to these core questions. It will reveal the long-running, unresolved debate over the morality of resort to civil war. Without a consensus on the moral question, the law remained equivocal. Does that remain true today?

Mike Sisino: The Contiuum of Force - Make Good Decisions! David and Mark are rejoined by Mike Sisino to talk about the Continuum of Force and, specifically, about making good decisions during a self-defense scenario all the way up to the point of having to pull the trigger on your gun. As a backdrop to this conversation we also discuss the July 19, 2018 shooting in Clearwater, Florida of Markeis McGlockton by gunman Michael Drejka. About Mike Sisino Mike was with us on Episodes Six and Seven where we talked about the practicality of the AR-15 for civilian defensive purposes. Mike is 31-year veteran of Law Enforcement as a State Policeman where he also worked as a SWAT officer. Mike was also the Lead Firearms Instructor at his state’s State Police Academy for a period of time.

This paper examines issues related to the question of 'planetary defence', in the sense of responding to an asteroid - or any other type of Near-Earth Object (NEO) - were such a body to be detected as being on a collision-course with the Earth and predict The first part of the paper will be 'non-legal' in nature. It aims to set the context by outlining: 1) what risks NEOs actually pose, 2) the unprecedented global political and institutional shifts towards NEO preparedness that have occurred in the last five years, 3) the recent increased scientific and political support for the 'nuclear option' in particular, and 4) the parallel developments in the nuclear disarmament and anti-space weaponisation movements that point in a very different direction. The second part of the paper will then turn to the legal implications of using nuclear weapons against an NEO, focusing on the apparent prohibition of such action under both the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and the 1963 Partial Test-Ban Treaty. Further, possible 'defences' to illegality will be discussed. Bio James A. Green is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Reading, where he has been a member of staff since 2006.
