in other words it seems like some of these officers are so genuinely terrified of being exposed to the drug that they collapse from sheer dread the cops are more than happy to spread this as a fentanyl attack because they sure like anything that makes them out to be the victim now that most of the country realizes that they kind of suck even if that means lying like lying little weirdos on top of that the myth of fentanyl can kill you by touch while dangerous when trying to create actual policy to combat the drug is extremely useful if you i don't know have been profiting from a vague war on drugs for the last few decades and really need that to continue the demonization of weed was an entire industry making bank off prison labor police militarization and asset forfeiture and so now that the winds have changed it makes a lot of sense for cops to be looking for another scapegoat again none of this is to say that opioids aren't a tremendous problem now but to think the solution to that problem would be to listen to cops is extremely silly and dangerous hey you know what's actually killing cops right now covet according to the national law enforcement officers memorial fund coronavirus infections were the leading cause of death for officers in NUMBER_TOKEN accounting for more than half of all recorded fatalities that was a NUMBER_TOKEN increase in all deaths unrelated to traffic accidents or shootings and the organization reports that this trend has continued in NUMBER_TOKEN with kovid remaining the number one cause of cop death from january to june well of course the number one cause of death is covet you may be howling and or hooting at the moon because it's halloween we are in the middle of a pandemic you shout breaking your computer with your wolf fist but going back to both the cdc and the memorial fund during the non-pandemic years it was traffic accidents that posed the biggest threat to on-duty police officers accounting for NUMBER_TOKEN of all deaths from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN. the unusually high number of traffic accidents are attributed in part to behavior-related hazards such as speeding not wearing a seat belt and impaired vision due to high amounts of stress i wonder what might be stressing them out sure seems like what we actually need policy for is focusing on like the mental health for police officers not just for their sake but also like for hours it seems like if they are so afraid and stressed on the job that the site of drugs makes them pass out maybe they um shouldn't have guns and perhaps maybe i don't know but definitely it's time for social media law enforcement and news sites to stop fanning the panic mongering flames of the fear hog and focus on sensible realistic issues like like this ad oh hello it's me cody for moments earlier still looking like this listen up you news loving weirdos today's news is brought to you by athletic greens the health and wellness company that makes comprehensive daily nutrition real simple i feel like most um people have trouble maintaining good nutritional habits lord knows i've eaten for convenience over care all the time one time i smeared an entire pizza on my bare chest and let my skin pores absorb the nutrients i've had scurvy three times in several states i am legally defined as dead my point being that the stressors of life or simply not eating enough of the right foods can
