I thought there were instances of cops getting dosed from touching items that had traces on it.

San Francisco Chronicle says cops are making it up (essentially)

There are “forces” in this world that want us to stop using cash.

This is the kind of scary story they like.

Just weeks after cops warned against picking up money.

Listen or lose it’s your option feel lucky.

Any FReepers who have money they feel may be infected with drugs can solve their problem easily by sending the money to me.

Had she recently received a booster💉?

Maybe it got transferred from her hand to her French fries. Or she could have found a fake pill and took it thinking it was a real percocet. I don't think it seeped through her skin.

That’s what my dates say after I say goodnight.

I think I remember you.

This story with that pic of her looks like it is not real. No O2, no ventilation assistance, does not appear to be a Sat monitor, the 12 lead connects are not even really on her, and the monitor numbers appear to be intentionally blurred out.

There's something more to the story that we don't know. Normally you can't get it from brushing it off your skin like that.

If you remember me then I didn’t use enough chloroform.

(Snicker, snicker) Just kidding.

Alcohol works just fine.😜

I recently saw 2 cops arrest a guy who was on a bicycle after a chase. I got there at a stoplight just as he was being arrested.
One cop went to the trunk of their car and produce a bottle of liquid which he liberally washed his hands with.

Way back in the 1980’s a cousin of mine who was a cop in Minneapolis area was searching a person she had chased across a church roof and caught and while searching his pockets was jabbed with a needle....

I bet police today gotta be extra careful plus with fentanyl they could be accused and convicted of killing a drug dealer even after that drug dealer swallowed the fentanyl. See George Floyd.

There are cops who had panic attacks or where afraid after touching it, but you can’t be poisoned that way.

Not likely, since fentanyl is not readily absorbed through skin contact. I mean she may have had this reaction, but it probably was not caused by picking up a $1 bill.

Did she have a Big Mac?
