This is almost certainly not a good thing. Although Ritalin is a relatively mild drug with well-known side effects, nobody is sure what it does to the rapidly developing brain of the very young child. There are no good studies. That's why manufacturers warn against its use in children under 6. It says so right on the label. Doctors, of course, can prescribe drugs for so-called off-label use, but they usually do it when the diagnosis is clear and there are no alternatives...
Lloyd's troubles began in the U.S., in Beaumont, Texas, where in 1969 a dying insulation installer named Clarence Borel sued 11 asbestos companies for failing to warn him about the hazards of handling the material. Four years later, a federal appeals court held the companies liable. The lawyers did the rest, opening the floodgates to damage claims that would eventually bring down huge asbestos companies like Johns Manville Corp., which restructured itself after a trip through bankruptcy court.

Even assuming the police did shout out before spraying Diallo with 41 bullets, screaming "Gun!" at someone with your gun already drawn doesn't constitute much of a warning. Various prosecution witnesses have diagrammed...
...Mexico's Oil Minister at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He'll then travel to Oslo and, later in February, to the Middle East for more arm-twisting. Perhaps he'll remind the Kuwaitis and the Saudis that they owe the U.S. a favor. And he'll warn the producers that there are real macroeconomic risks to higher oil prices, such as choking off Asia's economic recovery...
