A sheriff in an Ohio county with record numbers of drug deaths in recent years is sticking to his longstanding refusal to allow deputies to carry an overdose antidote.
We need to follow the Philippines lead. We waste so many resources on these parasites, ambulances, ER, prisons, police, crime, gibs etc. just put them out of their misery. I don't think ambulances should respond after the first overdose. Buy your own narcan if you want to revived and get your drug buddy to administer it.

Yes.
We should emulate the Philippines. It's Eden reborn.
He wrote a letter to the Mexican government, asking them to pay for prisoners in the county jails for illegal immigrants.
I'd say that was a rightful protest letter. Do you honestly believe he believes they would pay for them? If you say yes then you would be as nutty as you believe he is.
Now, back to the actual topic.
THAT'S RIDICULOUS!
Did the guy check his brains at the door? Let's see... officers carry an inexpensive overdose counteractive (there's no such thing as a drug antidote) or they don't and people die for no apparent reason? Hmmm Let me ponder thi.... NO you stupid idiot, carry the drugs!
Damn people everywhere are losing their frikkin minds!
Screw the Philippines (not really), how about simply doing the right thing?

Honestly law enforcement should not be carrying it. We ask more and more of law enforcement everyday. This should be in the hands of emt's. Medical professionals should be the ones that administer the drug. As much as I feel these users are responsible for their own situation I also understand the need for emergency personnel to save lives even if those lives are in danger directly caused by the person being saved. That being said there should be some legal ramifications of the user.

Is that even allowed in this country? I'd pit my money on NO.
I can't stand Trump. But our local police complain that most of their work is finding or reviving drug addicts. They say they revive the same ones over and over.
There's got to be something better than letting them take drugs, reviving them with narcon, they go back to drugs, etc. I'm all for helping the poor, disabled, elderly--people who can't help it and didn't choose it. But most drug addicts -not ALL of them- decided to try drugs, knowing they would become addicted.
There needs to be jail or longterm treatment or just somehow keep them away from society. They're expensive to treat, they drag others down with them, they keep the police from doing their job. And there are too many heartbroken families due to drug addicts. What goog does narcon do except keep them alive so they can take more drugs?
Ohio cop administers antidote injection with no medical qualifications, the person subsequently dies, doctors and juries doing Monday-morning quarterbacking announce that that was the wrong antidote or was administered the wrong way or something, and the guy's family sues the cop for everything he has (and sues the city, state, etc.) and wins.
How many antidotes will the cops administer after that goes down?

Actually it is.
For those who honestly believe that a few minutes making a difference to life or death, that addicts contribute nothing (Andy Warhole, Prince, Cobain, Osbourne, Tennessee Williams, Dick, Stevenson), then head right on being ignorant of facts.
Even the lowest life deserves some minimum respect, otherwise we will have lost our humanity.
