Gabby Petito lawsuit - Psychedelic treatment study - Germany's alleged China dependency

The lawsuit alleges that the Moab officers failed to notice "obvious signs" indicating Petito was the victim of domestic abuse and intentionally sought out loopholes to avoid enforcing Utah's domestic violence law, which removes discretion from officers investigating domestic violence incidents.
...
Moab police questioned Petito and [her boyfriend Brian Laundrie] on Aug. 12, 2021 [two weeks before Petito last spoke with her family] after a 911 caller reported seeing a "gentleman slapping the girl." Petito told police, "I definitely hit him first," and that he grabbed her face, scratching her. Petito told police she suffered from severe anxiety. Police labeled the incident as a "mental/emotional break" rather than a domestic assault.

[The lawsuit] also claims the Moab Police Department failed to properly train its officers in evaluating domestic violence situations, among other allegations. The city of Moab said it plans to defend itself. "The attorneys for the Petito family seem to suggest that somehow our officers could see into the future based on this single interaction," the city said.
