Even more annoying is the brazen doubling down on it despite a fuck ton of medical professionals calling ti out as bullshit.

    And yet they say George Floyd pleading for his life was the result of an opioid overdose? Where was the naloxone for him, why was he not treated like an OD patient?

      That was my favourite line of excuse for that fucking murderer.

      If he died of an overdose then maybe they shouldn't have spent crucial moments of this medical emergency kneeling on his neck?

      Of course I think the line of thought was "drugs = death sentence" because police are Judge Dredd.

        It doesn't even work because a doctor would straight up tell you, a man freaking out because you're trying to stuff him in the back of a squad car isn't an opioid overdose. It's more like what you see in this video (which is hilariously fake) that is the person goes unresponsive. Floyd went unresponsive after the life was choked out of him.

    Searching for this story on Twitter shows you how quickly Sinclair can amplify all this bullshit. Nearly all the top tweets are just an endless stream of local news stations spreading this copaganda. The initial tweet from the sheriff's department might be ratio'ed but these other tweets can just drown that all out.

    Also fucking lol @ the LA Times spreading this nonsense too.

    I don't think he was faking it tbh; Occam's razor would suggest the guy just takes fent on the job and OD'd

    Recently, LAPD Officer Djeremy Smrzenjük was exposed to a bowl of Big Ol' Jim "Yowza! That's Hot!!!" instant chili which had been left in the microwave for too long. As we all know, this produces the equivalent of 10,000 hits of methamphetamine, and Officer Smrzenjük nearly died of an overdose. Luckily, the quick thinking and heroic action of sergeant Francisco Mascarpune (administered Naloxone shot directly to the anus, returned chili to refrigerator) saved his life.

    Holy fuck, this is clearly a panic/anxiety attack or something. Now if you look up "fentanyl overdose" on YouTube, the first 20 results are this and then it's just a bunch more talking about this and then some anti-drug scare monger propaganda.

    If i had a twitter i'd write something along the lines of "Wow, thank you for this informative video officers! Now i'll make sure me and all my friends have some Naloxone at hand when we shoot up ourselves and our wider families with fentanyl!"
