news • 1 year ago

Sgt. Richard Kelly was found unconscious in his office in August. The drug use that caused it was likely intentional, officials said.

Not mentioned in the title: he was snorting confiscated fent.

Also this is a cop from the town all the Proud Boys who came to Portland in 2020 live in.

Anyway, happy Friday!

Ld50 of cocaine is apparently ~96mg/kg, while fentanyl is ~18mg/kg, assuming an oral route for both.

    Id assume. I couldnt find ld50 info for other routes aside from injection, so it could be different.
