Full HAZMAT suit required for daily police work, it seems. That stuff is just as deadly as being shot.

I had no idea it was this powerful.

This is the stuff their lacing heroin with, correct?

[Iron head mike]

This stuff is a killer.

I laugh when I see those scenes in the movies where a cop puts his finger in a baggie containing white power, puts some on his tongue and declares, “This is cocaine” or “This is PCP” are complete none for at least two reasons:

1. Putting an unknown substance/drug/chemical on your tongue, even a small amount, can be extremely hazardous or even fatal.

2. There is no definite way of telling what a substance/drug/chemical is by tasting it.

In real life, law enforcement officers, wearing protective gloves, test an unknown substance by mixing it with a chemical which acts with a substance, resulting in a specific color which identifies what the substance is.

Heard something the other day about police dogs at risk from sniffing or licking the stuff.

If only this were legally available, because we would have a lot less of this drug available to be used. /end FR pro-drug guy

There have been cases of infants somehow ingesting their parent's heroin and dying. Mygosh, nobody wants to see anyone die who can be saved. Using Narcan is the best way to save them, I get that. But it's enabling ever more reckless behavior, with times when addicts get their Narcan and the same day OD again. And now there are situations of police and police dogs in danger from these poisons.

I can't imagine how society can absorb the cost of this, economically, socially, or for public safety of others.

According to Channel 9, Green pulled over a car on Friday and arrested two men, Justin Buckle, 25, and Cortez Collins, 24. Green noticed put on gloves and a mask after noticing white powder in the car.

AS usual crappy editing.

But how is it that a cop nearly dies from a little powder on his shirt but these two criminals survive hours of riding around in the car covered with the stuff?

Sounds more like a WMD than a recreational drug.
