The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has shared body camera video that shows the dramatic moments after a deputy was exposed to fentanyl during an arrest last month.
Fortunately, another officer was there with him.
It happened on July 3, as a patrol deputy was processing drugs at the scene of an arrest.
In a documentary-style video released Wednesday by the sheriff's department showing the bodycam footage, Corporal Scott Crane explained it was his trainee who was exposed to fentanyl. He said it was their first radio call of the day.
In the body camera video, Crane can be heard telling Deputy David Faiivae that the drugs could be cocaine or fentanyl.
It was fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin.
"That's stuff's no joke, dude, that's super dangerous," Crane said in the bodycam.
The deputy survived and was able to share his story in hopes of saving lives.
"I don't think people realize the severity of just how deadly it really is," Faiivae said.
As Faiivae reflected on these terrifying moments, he wiped away tears: "I'm Deputy David Faiivae and I almost died of a fentanyl
“”That’s stuff’s no joke, dude, that’s super dangerous,” Crane said in the bodycam.”
Yup. ask george fentanyl floyd in his golden casket..
2. Many experts have questioned thisvideo of officer’s accidental overdose
I am sure someone has asked "Why are they not wearing gloves?"
I have not seen an ungloved LEO in any video for the past 4 years. Fentanyl or carbyfent is not all that readily absorbed across the skin.
So how did this guy get a toxic dose? Did he lick or sniff across the seat of the car - if so, bad form.
What if the dying fentanyl users see a vision of George Floyd just before the end?
Like 50 is the new age 40, maybe fentanyl is the new LSD.
Did he inject it or inhale it? Just contact doesn’t do anything.
You are so correct and your post demonstrates this kind of ignorance. It took quite of formulation effort to fabricate that transdermal patch. Why? Because the base drug is NOT READILY absorbed across the skin. But please don’t stop blathering about stuff that you don’t know about.
What a lot of baloney.
Therapeutic blood levels are not reached for 13-24 hours after patch application.
The patch is specially formulated for absorbence through the skin. Fetanyl on its own does absolutely nothing through skin contact.
