    Her fellow officers noticed something was wrong when she no longer experienced joy from manhandling perps and expressed interest an MS in computer science.

    Just inject cops with fentanyl daily until they develop a tolerance or something. Stop being pussies or look for another job.

        And I bet their lazy cop asses will stop calling out sick or take weeks long vacations either.

    Is she like, having a seizure, or did she take some fentanyl out of the evidence locker?

    Or maybe just got bonked on the head?

    Like, I have seen more than one chestcam video on youtube of cops responding to other cops who took some fentanyl into the bathroom before they got to the evidence locker, and they end up doing the lean so hard they curl back into ragdoll positions you would think were unrealistic in a video game, fucking instant OD.

      I’m pretty sure this is from the video of a dumbass pig having a panic attack because she touched an unknown powder (turned out not to be drugs at all) during a traffic stop because she thought it was fentanyl. Fentanyl does not cross the skins barrier.

        … Wow.

        Thats… even more stupid.

        … Dang.

        She’s having a completely psychosomatic paralysis episode?

        … This person should not be trusted with a firearm.

        Armed, dangerous and mentally unstable under pressure, fuck.

            Yeah…

            Also, having unfortunately survived being homeless for a while…

            (i mean, im glad i survived, awkward phrasing, whatever)

            I can tell you that fentanyl can get into you if you have cuts on your skin, fresh cuts or wounds.

            But uh… this is a fairly easily solvable problem for cops:

            Gloves!

            And… you… can see… in this image…

            That her right hand has such a glove on it.

            Sooooo… she probably has the other glove on the other hand as well.

            Also, if she had enough time to… put on gloves… chances are low that she has…fresh, bleeding wounds on her hands.

            -sigh-

          That’s not how a panic attack looks, at all. Don’t know her deal though.

        Fentanyl does cross the skin barrier, patches exist, but ain’t shit happening if you just touch it.

          I’m no pharmacologist, but I think those patches are made with some sort of gel that, surely, aids in the absorption though the skin.

          Could be wrong though I just, the gel might just be for time release.

          It’s a joke.

          Because the US government announced today that they believe Tylenol causes autism, even though there’s no real, reproducible evidence of this hypothesis. They made Tylenol a scapegoat with no evidence to try to make their dumbass base believe they have everything under control. So people are memeing about it.

            Perhaps you can understand how I as an autistic person do not find this funny.

            They are also purorting to be able to cure autism, via very untested means.

            I would prefer not to be medicated against my will.

              I think many of us, whether autistic or people with autistic friends and family, are horrified at what’s happening and making jokes is the only way to not cry at the moment.

              Certainly the case for me.

    Why do chemical compounds have epic wizard names?

    Just think about it:

    • Tylenol the calm one
    • Sildenafil the necromancer
    • Cyanide the death bringer.

    And so on

        There are cops outside America too. Some of them are quite decent people, as well as good police officers.

        America’s cop problem is fixable. It just requires Americans to fix it.

            ACAB is based on the idea that even if an individual cop is a “good” one, the system they’re in makes them either stay silent about their bad coworkers’ behavior (making them bad, too), or pushes them out of the system, leaving only bad ones.

            It’s possible to have a system without that dynamic, and I’d be shocked if no country has achieved it.

            Perhaps one day, the US can.

            If ACAB were universal across space and time, we should just give up trying to fix the systemic issues that result in ACAB.

              I’m not with you. I think that’s wrong and you have no examples.

              If ACAB is universal across space and time, then we should give up on having police.
