5 years ago this was me. Took me overdosing in my car for me to stop. Thank god no1 was injured and I thank the cops that broke my window and gave me narcan that saved my life. 5 years clean feb 17th
@@jasonm7973 i dont think the majority who overdose on opioids have a good chance of surviving without narcan dude. Those that do usually suffer brain damage. But sure keep being a cop hater.
I just hope it was accidental, so it won't happen again. Sad to think if this was an intentional suicide attempt. The officer was a beautiful angel interrupting his attempted fate.
Actually drivers were lucky he was pulled over. He was a driving menace to people on the road. He could have plowed into anyone. I hope he learnt his lesson and got off drugs and got his wake up call
@@lyn0865 and would you be saying the same if his attempt also took the lives of innocent people when he was driving like that? Dont make other people feel pain by trying to escape yours.
You’re fucking stupid. He was literally driving a weapon that kills. If he actually cared about anyone but himself, he would not have done drugs while driving. Dumb fucks
@@msteen72 Yo stfu. If you watched the video at all you woulda seen him pull over dipshit. He pulled into a park long lot where he wasn’t gonna harm anyone.
@@msteen72 He needs help, not hate. Hate will only make him more likely to do shit like this and not care about his or others lives. Although a psychopath like you probably wants to murder addicts instead of help them, while praising your jesus at the same time. Absolute nutter.
This is my brother and is extremely hard to see. Thankfully he is 3 years sober now and doing better than ever. He is a great father who is there everyday for his daughter who adores him. He is a changed man and a good person. We hugely thank these people that saved my brothers life that day. There arent enough words to explain how greaful we are. You saved our whole family the day you saved his life and we are forever greatful.
Thank you for the update!! So many people were obviously affected by this video. Especially for people who think they “know” what an addict looks like. So glad he’s turned his life around! Did he ever meet the officer? God bless you, Brian!!
@Edward Anderson That isn't enough to scare a kid or teen. Show them a person that has over dosed and having a seizure along with the view of the respondent trying to save that person's life. Plus the long term implications of doing these stunts: 1. Damaging vital organs 2. Possibility of going blind 3. Nervous system damage 4. Possibility of taking another persons' life 5. Possibility of property damages I am happy my system is allergic to alcohol.
Yeah stuff like this is way more effective than having those vids with unnaturally cheerful young adults going "don't do drugs kids", kids are not stupid, they don't need stuff to be dumbed down for them, and showing the serious consequences won't scar them.
People will always find a way to get fucked up, we've done it ever since we started walking upright. No amount of education will stop that and everyone taking hard drugs, knows the risks.
Been sober for 14 months. My best friend died after 17 yrs of us drinking together, bumming, going nowhere in life. I took his death as a sign, and changed my life. My daughter will be born tomorrow, and she will Never know me as anything but SOBER. RIP Alex. Miss you everyday.
In case no one has told you. I’m proud of you and so is your daughter. You’re amazing! ❤️☺️ All the love to you and your family and congrats on the birth of your daughter!
@@nickv4073 True. However if this guy does get clean then he won't necessarily be a danger to others. I think that's what she maybe meant. That said, I agree with you. Drug use ruins lives, families, innocent people. Since being drunk in public is arrestable , overdosing in public should be an automatic arrest.
His mom was on the phone with him... imagine her hearing him getting pulled over then getting the call he's in the hospital... bless his mama's heart 🥺🥺🥺

@@lindanicks1069 agonal breathing and death rattle arent the same thing, while he's not having clear breathing and is in massive CNSD, I doubt this guy has that much fluid in his airways.
Bless officers like this. No hard ass attitude, just trying to save a guy, even if she sounds a bit fed-up. She’s probably dealt with this kind of thing a lot.
I think she sounds fed up cus like she might have to watch someone die (possibly again) and she wants to detach herself from the awful situation as much as possible while still helping him as “protocol.” This line of work can bare a lot of weight on someone and sounding tired of seeing all the messed up stuff is only to be expected. Like seeing this dude throw his life away 😔
The emergency services are amazing. They're not judging him or angry with him. The whole time they're just trying to keep him alive. Until you fully understand the nature of addiction you cannot judge. I hope he's doing well..
I can judge this guy without too much homework. He's a danger to himself and to me and my loved ones. I'm likely paying for a big part of his existence. I just spent a few thousand tax dollars on this police/EMS/Hospital interaction with the guy. My judgement is that I'm a better person than him.
@@ladyjustice1695 right, just like drunk drivers are responsible for 20+ deaths daily on the roadway. Yet, there is still very little effort in making any changes to prevent them. And I guarantee you have multiple people within your circle that drink and drive regularly, if not yourself. I can assure you, arresting them will not change anything. Most likely just making things worse for themselves and those close to them.
@@youdoyouplayer8529 Wow, you sure do assume a lot of my lifestyle. No one, absolutely no one, in my circle drinks alcohol on a regular basis let alone drive while intoxicated. I do not like the taste of alcohol so there's that. When I was 14 I was hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street. I'm damn lucky to be alive after being thrown 50 feet from impact after bouncing on the windshield. I was in the hospital for two weeks with a concussion, road burns and a broken leg. So you see, I have zero tolerance for any driver under the influence of any chemical substance. Your "guarantee" of someone whom you don't know is ridiculous.
@@Eric12886 its real bad here in Ohio. I presume this is Columbus, also white uniforms give it away. Had 4 overdoses in my town of 25k over a weekend about a month or so ago
He seems like such a sweetheart. So happy to hear he’s 3 years sober and a great dad. He didn’t seem like the usual type to be using but like he had a rough period in his life. So the update from his brother made me so happy. I could see so much potential in the way he was speaking so kindly❤ I love happy endings. So glad his life is turned around and they saved him that day.
@@sharonrigs7999 that’s functional addicts. I know I was with one for one and a half year without knowing. Especially with the people on the more heavier side, they look more healthy while using, while skinny people like my self you see it right away. So it’s difficult to help when you don’t know what’s going on. So I’m so happy he got help. I know many chubby people they get lost because people don’t notice signs as much in them. I think it’s the eyes. When you’re skinny your eyes get very dark and wrinkly, but natural fat prevents that zombie look. Also because they’re prone to be more hot they have color in their cheeks, where skinny people turn almost yellow and grey very fast. So we really have to pay attentions to people emotions and mannerisms more than just for unhealthy signs so people can get help sooner. There’s to many stereotypes. So many people don’t get the help they need because of people putting other people in boxes. But real people come in All kinds of boxes and have all kind of different shit in them. And there’s no model or solution or perspective that fits all. Or even a group. Every person is an individual and everything should be taken care of accordingly. Then the world will heal faster and be more sustainable. Because the help is real for you. Not halfass and designed to help 3 million people kind of like you but then again totally different. So I know people don’t look the part. That’s exactly why I’m happy to see him get help. He could’ve been overlooked like so many others because of stereotyping.❤️
@Anderson Paak He wasn't in any mind state, he was out cold. Those shallow, ragged gasps aren't normal breathing, they're the last desperate attempt of a brain stem stuck in a body that's about to stop breathing forever. They're not called "last gasps" for nothing. Bringing someone back from death's door like that isn't an exact science, you need to be a bit rough to rouse them and gauge when the drugs are working. And believe me, this guy would rather be shaken and shouted at than pumped full of an unnecessarily high dose of Narcan which, in the extremely likely case that he's an addict, will immediately send him into full blown withdrawal.
@Anderson Paak I'm not sure why you're criticizing her for that, what are you saying? It was clear he was ODing, a tap on the shoulder isn't going to fix that.
@Anderson Paak Narcan is the best option for someone in the midst of an overdose, especially if used quickly. Yeah, there are other options possible, but to stop and try those before could mean losing the chance to save him. My dad works in harm reduction, I've heard way too many stories of people dropping out of nowhere from an overdose. Had they not given Narcan and waited, they would be dead. I'm not 100% on this but by their movements, I'm pretty sure they are rubbing his sternum, if he was just sleeping he'd be at least semi-conscious real quick with how bad it can hurt lol. They are trained to recognize signs of an overdose. She said later in the video as she was talking to him she could tell he had taken something. It may seem like a lot of extra force but she really just saved his life as quick as she could.
@Anderson Paak It was clear from the moment the officer started talking to him. He had constricted pupils, heavy itching, that croaky, barely able to get the words out voice, nodded out repeatedly mid conversation; all classic signs of a heavy opioid dose that were recognized by this experienced officer (note that she immediately identified the sound of agonal breathing when she heard it; she's done this before). And Narcan is administered nasally so if a tap on the shoulder was sufficient he'd have certainly been woken up by having a plastic cylinder shoved up his nose before she actually administered the drug. Also, Narcan specifically blocks the effects of opioid drugs and would have had little to no effect if he didn't have any in his system. Had she been wrong, he'd have woken up, maybe have to blow his nose and that would have been the end of it. On the other hand, seconds count with this sort of thing. By the time agonal breathing starts CO2 has built up in the blood and the brain is already being starved of oxygen which can cause long term damage up to and including death outright (it's what kills people who OD on opioids). She acted correctly according to her training and experience and unquestionably saved this man's life.
No first she didnt do the dose of narcan right, she didn't lay the seat back or get him out of the car. The first dose came right back out because of gravity! They should of got him out of the car and put him on his side immidiately becuase if he vomited after the narcan he would of inhaled it.
She slowly walked to the cruiser to get the narrative when he wasn't breathing evert second counts look when the real heroes get there they run over and actually do a good job
@@carsonhurtado6959 Ya I know huh! I can't believe she saved this guy's life so wrong. And the person he didn't kill because this girl pulled him over, I'm sure they would be disappointed in her performance too. God watch over her, guide her and protect her every night forever. Let's hope when Dopey comes back to Earth he sees this and is man enough to thank her.
Most addicts aren't. The bad behavior on detox floors is a result of the physical shock the CNS goes into during withdrawal. Your body stops producing it's own inhibitory neurotransmitters. Withdrawal is the CNS going into overdrive because it's lost the ability to regulate itself. There's also the fact that the drug, as perceived by the "reptilian" brain, becomes synonymous with life and continued survival. Throwing someone's alcohol down the drain or flushing their pills bypasses the frontal lobe and neocortex and is interpreted by the more primitive brain as threat to the addict's life. Same goes for interventions or any talk of treatment. Rections are so volatile because the brain is screaming, "this person is trying to kill me."
@kylerknows Yeah BUT HE DIDN'T!!!!! So what the hell is your point????? If you think THIS FREAKING GUY is some rude, mean, unhinged serial criminal who needs to be locked up with the key thrown away, you must live in a glass house.
@kylerknows actually being a person of western civilization, i’m not looking for death. And drugs/alcohol never cause malice to be in a persons heart. They just unleash it. Like the stone cold sober waste of existence in a range rover that flies past my house doing 40 in a 15, while my kids are outside riding their bikes. When you confront him, he says “well kids shouldn’t be in the street”. Well its residential and we have no sidewalks people jog up and down every day and if he ever hit my my children, i’ll light his fucking house up with 10,000 rounds of ammo before one cop shows up. So there ya go. Depends on intent, this poor fuck had no malice in his heart, just a broken soul, my shit fucking neighbor has no fucking soul.
both my grandpa and father were addicts for all of or most of their lives. my grandpa passed away from the drugs. i ended up following in their footsteps when i was about 15. after a few overdoses and close calls i’m now 21 years old and 5 months sober. i’m so grateful to be here and clean and i’m so lucky to have kicked this while im still young. the officers and doctors i dealt with during my addiction were always so hateful and horrible to me. made it seem like i deserved to od. it’s refreshing to see how incredible this woman handled all of this and im so glad she was the officer that stopped him. it’s genuinely a miracle she found him when she did. i truly hope this man is on a better path now. recovery IS possible
It’s been about 7 months since you posted your comment but I just wanted to say I hope you are doing well and living your best life for you and your loved ones 😊
Good boy I was an addict by accident when the drs prescribed me percocets and at that time I had no clue what they were, for 6 years I struggled , I relapsed, I nearly died, I definitely overdosed a few times and my whole world revolved around getting more drugs Served time in prison for that, flipped my car down a mountain , lost my child to my parents before that thank the lord he might have not been here today, lost the house, was raped by an on duty cop which is part of the reason they have vodycams now thank the lord, and more You NEVER want to touch anything nasty Pot is fine pot is nothing, but anything other than that you run away from always 4 years clean by the grace of our lord but it didn't come with permanent life changes and pain ill never be able to work past
Because that’s exactly what he is. Just another person dealing with the same shit we deal with every day. He just chose to cope with it in a different way.
I always thought an OD was instant. I didn’t realize you could drive, speak and have some what a conversation. He has angels IMO. This is heartbreaking yet I’m so happy he’s alive 🙏🏼
I used to be in a class for EMT, it typically is rather quick in their reactions to the drugs, but sometimes their symptoms start off on a medium level then they progress into the OD state where they often doze off which is why his eyes kept rolling back.. hope this helped!
It is painless. You literally have no idea you're breathing that way and your respiratory system is shutting down. In your mind you're in a dream. So weird. Thank God I don't have that in my life anymore 🙏 and thank God for that police officer. She was brilliant, calm and knew the drill. All of them attending treated this guy with such humility. Hope he got help. You can't do it alone.
@@marieatherton2073 not always. I've felt my entire circulatory system on fire before and agonizing pain from my heart and spine and every inch of my body.
He needs to go to jail, he put people's lives at risk by doing this while driving, these people are criminals. If someone was drunk on alcohol there would be no compassion.
all I could think about is that poor mom, who's son started mumbling on the phone and then stopped answering calls. I'm so glad there just happened to be a police officer so close when it happened.
Seeing this guy stand up after just being so close to death is amazing. Narcan is an incredible drug, and these officers and medics are also incredible.
I've saved a few people back when I used heroin. Been clean since 2011. Just the other day I had some girl overdose on my front step. I didn't have naloxone so the cops were able to revive her. It's crazy to see someone completely unconscious and not responding come alive as soon as they get a dose. There's no way around lying you weren't high when that happens lol.
@@priscillaharper65Thank you! You as well. I took suboxone for about 3 years and tapered off that in 2015. I was a heavy user so I needed it. After a couple years your brain "forgets the feeling" which makes it much easier. The thing is most people don't make it that long sadly which is why I'm all for suboxone maintenance...methadone no lol.
@@priscillaharper65 i was on 16mg as well but it sounds like you're tapering too quickly. I would say to taper 2mg every couple months. Don't rush it! Getting clean from dope isn't an overnight thing. The very last thing you want to do is relapse. I don't have to tell you what a living hell it is to start using again lol.
@@priscillaharper65 to put into perspective suboxone half life is very long compared to heroin. A 5-7 day detox vs well over a month. Like I said just take it slow...the more time you're away from opiates and opioids the better! The longer you're clean helps the brain heal and to stop associating drugs with pleasure. You got this! 🤗
This officer deserves a raise or something to recognize her actions during this. She saved this mans life and was caring and compassionate during the whole situation.
They're trained not to freak out. They have to keep their composure because they're the only ones who can make the situation better. So they always revert to their training.
Completely disagree. She was annoyed, laughed, and joked about the freaking thing with fellow officers, and took her sweet a$$ time giving it to him. I almost researched who she was just to write a letter of how Unprofessional she was.
Its so hard to hear a body desperate to keep a person alive when all they do is destroy it. Responders are amazing at keeping cool, calm and collected. Focused on saving a life.
Dain J she didn’t have to really pull him over. He knew and he was swerving saw the cop car she also knew something was up. and when your like that under drugs or someone’s nervous a typical person tends to pull over and try to act their tired or something happened like this guy. If not than it’s all sirens or a chase. 😂 Thankfully he went and parked up and she followed after. Didn’t have to technically put sirens on to know that somethings up when he was swerving and pulled into a store
@@rs72098 yeah, but people need to understand addiction is an illness and a mental disorder, and instead of locking them up we need to just send them to addiction recovery centers
it’s is in my school, i’m taking medical classes and we learn about medically prescribed opioids and illegals opioids and what they do and how Narcan works.
If it was as easy as "just don't do drugs" no one would be an addict. There's many reasons people get addicted. Myself I started with pain killers and developed further opiate addiction. Luckily I have been clean for a while now.
good advice on being with someone...my best buddy OD'd on me, after a few minutes of me trying all I could, i called 911, he lived. he moved away years later and was found dead and alone of an overdose in his apartment. i still wonder if he was really alone, or someone bailed on him in a panic. wont ever know
Im a recovering opioid addict and watching these remind me why I never want to go back to that. I overdosed 16 times before I found help to get off. The E.R actually got me into the suboxone program that saved my life. Now I can be the mom I was meant to be and give back to other addicts in need of help. I’ve been clean for 8 years now.
@CTF WB bruh you literally sound like you’re on drugs, or one of those conspiracy theorists, if she was trying to kill him, she would have not called anyone at all or given him narcan. it’s SUPER important you stay calm in any sort of situation like this, because if she would have started running and rushing around, she would have forgotten something. this was literally a success, he was revived and taken to the hospital. he’s clearly more heavy set, so she probably just wanted to see if she could just give him the narcan without trying to fumble with the seat or drag him out of the car. she knew just what to do, and she did it all. plus this only took 13 minutes not the 20+ you mentioned. he was od’d for probably like 5 or 6 minutes, so no, she wasn’t taking her time, she was probably just reminding herself to stay calm and composed.
@@notavailable1174 yeah i hate closet racist cop hating fucks like that guy...sad thing is they think they are oh so right all while judging and shitting on people and situaitons they most likely no nothing at all about...
I think it's less of her being calm and more like being desensitized. Big difference, and unfortunately, due to this being so common in the US, I think it's her being desensitized.
Heartfelt congratulations to you. I lost my best friend over 4 years ago now. Didn't even know they were doing it until it killed them. I wish you all the best!
NA is one way. Finding your own purpose in life again did it for me. Tried everything so many times you just want some meaning out of life. Work..work out... were the two things that saved me. N/a works but you still have to put the work in!
Scary thing is if it was fentanyl, the narcan would have done nothing. He's very fortunate that they got him before he was too far gone, or before he hurt anyone.
@@HaiyeeeTrololol you have no idea what you're talking about fentanyl is just another opioid and narcan binds to the same receptors so it would bring him out of it,that's why they're taking him because if the narcan wears off the fentanyl will knock him back out,he 100% took fentanyl and that's why he is the way he is in the video
This one really stands out to me, i remember too well the feeling of not really caring if I died or lived, I remember all too well coming off my high and just wishing it was all over. So glad to hear he is sober. Thank God for the police and emt🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm a retired nurse, but this just scares me to death. If she hadn't pulled him over he would have died and probably took some more with him. Thank the Lord they can use Narcan now.
@@cryboutit3824 you'd be surprised. Some stuff is slow while more instinctual stuff isn't. Take the moment where she told him to pull the keys out if the ignition. He just snapped to and did it quickly.
@@CERTI0151 So true brother I do not agree with any drug use. however I served in the Marine Corps from 2006 2010 on which Iraq in 2007 and then went to Afghanistan in 2009 I got hit by an IED, While on the 605 route in Afghanistan in Marsha (I think that’s how you spell it) I went back out after a week off, I requested to go back out, I got hit again and had a grade 3 concussion 2x, I got medevac out.... I received a Purple Heart for my wounds. However after all of this I was in so much pain, my jaw was displaced on the left side the ball and joint socket ripped out when the bomb hit me under the driver seat, The only reason I survived was because the MRAP (MINE RESISTANT AMBUSH PROTECTED)Vehicle had a V-shaped hull, Which means that if a blast or bomb is detonated under the vehicle it will deflect the blast outwards. . It saved my life thank God, But to get back on track I got prescribed to painkillers and got hooked on them, I ended up losing my rights to my prescription because I was abusing them and moved to snorting heroin, I never put a needle in my body only because I’m scared of them and I will pass out, this is a common thing because I always pass out when I get a shot from the doctor or something. However I want everyone to read this whole message and know the reason I am telling you this and I’m posting this on social media, because I was addicted to opiates but I was not an opiate user before I got injured in Afghanistan, it almost killed me ladies and gentlemen, if it was not for my strong will and my motivation I would not be alive today I would be dead and overdosed on heroin. One day I woke up after snorting one line of heroin laced with fentanyl I was by myself by the grace of God I woke back up and noticed that my dog was licking my face trying to wake me up, I don’t know why I got a second chance but I did, I don’t want anyone to judge this guy right here that is going to this because he might be in the same position I was in just remember that please
As someone who’s literally been there waking up at a red light passed out with my foot on the break. I can’t help but hope that this man gets the same support and constructive criticism I received to get my life together. As crazy as it is I owe my life to that night and the lord for keeping my car in place.
He was so respectful when speaking to the officer who stopped him. He really seems like a good person, just going through a difficult time. I hope he was able to get help and healthy.
This police officer was this young man’s guardian angel. Otherwise, he would be dead and possibly killed someone else in the process. It wasn’t his time.
I thought the same thing. You can tell this is a part of the country where heroin abuse is high simply by how quickly and nonchalantly they start rendering the appropriate aid.

I still have a handful of friends that can't break free of their demons, but a good majority have overcome our weakness.
Good job to anyone quitting, I know it's hell, but family and friends need us, and we need to be our best selves. Proud to see comments like these. Keep going.
that is what it actually sound like when someone is dying...their brain stem is attempting to force the body to take in air but the body is too compromised to function. No matter how much your life sucks, don't do heroin like drugs...you dont' want to end up like this guy. Worst case scenario is you live and you are a vegetable for the rest of it.
This is true. Been around these before, waiting for ambulance to arrive, and cerebral cortex is forcing an almost dead body to take gulps of air. Heroin, Fentanyl, Oxy, can shutdown the breathing.

When I was younger I saw someone get shot in the chest/abdominal area w a shotgun. He made similar noises, he didn’t make it sadly. I think there come a point in almost everyone’s life when they hear this sound, whether it’s a dying family member, friend, complete stranger, or themselves in their last moments. You can’t forget it, and you know what it means. I think it’s called the death rattle, or medically speaking agonal breathing.

Oh god that death rattle gave me chills. My sister OD’d on heroin and it took 5 shots narcan to get her breathing and they did CPR for 10-15 minutes. Before she completely stopped breathing she had that rattle and it almost makes me cry hearing it again. She’s been sober 3 years now. Thank god.
My Uncle OD'd and unfortunately didn't make it as the EMT just didn't get there in time. I hope Narcan will continue to save lives, and that those people will realize the 2nd chance they've been given at life and make every day count. Awesome your sis has been sober 3 years now, that's an amazing achievement. One day at a time.
The rattle is an obstructed airway like a snore. By doing a head tilt chin lift u can save a life and help someone maintain their airway. Basic life support. If u hear the rattle the person is obstructed and u need to open their airway. Also they may vomit and breathe it in and u need to clear their mouth and throat
This same EXACT thing happened to my rider when I was driving Uber (same breathing and all). That scared the living shit out of me. He gave me a 5 star rating and thanked me for saving his life.
It’s nice that she wasn’t rude to him. You have to be in a dark place to be taking heroin. Hopefully he gets help to sober up, especially if he has a kid.
@@zaydhassan3554 heroin is not something you’d take for fun, it’s not the same as a “party drug” But yes, too much money can lead people to a dark place.
@@biddyearly9262 what if he had killed one of your family members while driving his car? Still forgive him then? If he wants to kill himself on drugs no problem but when he gets behind the wheel of a weapon all bets are off he is public enemy number one!
If he killed somebody, he would be tried for murder with special circumstances. (death penalty) If he doesn't kill anybody, he didn't kill anybody. He needs help before he does. I am sick and tired of seeing people who are perfectly capable of driving over the legal limit. They are pulled over and have their lives destroyed. They hurt no one. I drive impaired every day. I have MD. I must compensate my disabilities by traveling slower, maintaining greater distance between cars and only drive during daylight hours. I had a discussion with my insurance agent. She said people with impairments are often awarded safe driver status.
@@kylieknight2365 People Can be very forgiving. Look up the story of a Muslim mom that hugged the same man that killed her son while they were in court. She HUGGED her son’s killer and said “I don’t hate you. I can’t hate you. That’s not our way...” and she said things about how he is still a baby like her son was and said a lot of powerful things that can change how you think about life.
Just made little over a year sober its so hard to watch this not for my own pain but cuz I lost my best friend. She overdosed two days after I made 300 days clean.
@@Evan-qh9fs honestly what state _isnt_ having a heroin and fentanyl problem? Its everywhere, every state and every city, just tearing this place apart. I wouldn't be surprised if most of this drama we're having with antifa and BLM is due to people melting their brains with opiates and making fuckwit decisions. I'm an hour north of Seattle and I can tell you right now, if the opiates were gone, none of this CHAZ and constant rioting bullshit would be happening.
I think they also genuinely have a knack for this.. EMTS, Police, firefighters.. all first responders. God blessed them with a special type of patience. I commend all of them for this type of work 👏👏👏👏
“he’s ODing” *slowly walks back to and around car to find narcan* “If there is one” *in response to if shes getting one* Incredibly caring officer here 😂
that croaky rattle he had in his voice is very common to have when taking opioids, she probably was aware of it when she heard him speaking, also the constant scratching himself (face and body), it usually makes you itchy from a histamine response
That and narcan is completely harmless if the patient doesnt need it. Works wonders on someone who overdosed on drugs. Therefore universally the drug can be used for anyone with a altered mental status with no answer as to the cause.
Boy was she in the right place at the right time, not only did she save his life and those of other potential drivers had he hit someone. But she did it calmly, with respect and reminded herself of her training when he started agonal breathing and knew exactly what to do. Well done that Officer a true definition of 'Protect and Serve'.
GIVE THIS POLICE WOMAN A RAISE. Stayed so calm and knew exactly what to do the entire time with administering the Narcan and keeping him awake, easily saved multiple lives that day. Unfortunately probably because she's seen it so many times before, but damn she's awesome.
@@owensbama1923 or idk maybe she’s just so used to people OD’ing it’s just second nature, plus she can be as annoyed as she wants as long as she’s helping which she was
@@mattwilliams3456 I can understand from both experiences being on both sides.. when my friend od d and I brought him back, it was just like it didn't happen to him???? He never said anything and just said "oh really" ..... And then months later I do it to him except just from the way I had felt and by the look on his face I knew exactly what had just happened
This is the saddest. Imagine being those officers, watching someone almost die. I couldn’t handle it. I’m happy to know there are people out there that have the ability to do that job.
Being a Paramedic, calls like this are usually just disappointing after you get them up and talking and they insist they've never done an opiate and the must just be tired. Those are a little depressing knowing they will probably OD again, but atleast you know they will do some thinking. The earth shattering calls are all the ones who were found 15 minutes or more too late, and its their family that you are dealing with. Those are the ones that stick with you, and even sometimes get me terrified about raising my young boys in a world, where drug dealers trying to make a few extra bucks could easily murder them if they happen to hang out with the wrong friend one day. It's those moments, and for the families left to pick up the pieces, that we get sad. If you or someone you know has a problem, it's only a matter of time before you end up in a body bag, get some help and choose to live.
June 3rd this year I will be 8 years clean. Just seeing this video was a reminder of how stupid I was and how grateful I am to be clean and alive today. If your someone that's addicted to Heroin. It's not worth it. You should give it up because changing your life around for the good is so much better.

Too calm, almost like she didn’t really care. In an OD like this seconds are important. He could’ve died in the time it took her to get out, get the narcan and administer it and not care if it worked because his positioning. She could’ve at least pulled him out of the car.

Actually drivers were lucky he was pulled over. He was a driving menace to people on the road. He could have plowed into anyone. I hope he learnt his lesson and got off drugs and got his wake up call

Yea. Even him being on drugs, he was still aware that he needed to pull over. And he pulled into a parking lot with no near misses.

He needs help, not hate. Hate will only make him more likely to do shit like this and not care about his or others lives. Although a psychopath like you probably wants to murder addicts instead of help them, while praising your jesus at the same time. Absolute nutter.
This is my brother and is extremely hard to see. Thankfully he is 3 years sober now and doing better than ever. He is a great father who is there everyday for his daughter who adores him.

@Edward Anderson That isn't enough to scare a kid or teen. Show them a person that has over dosed and having a seizure along with the view of the respondent trying to save that person's life.
Plus the long term implications of doing these stunts:
1. Damaging vital organs
2. Possibility of going blind
3. Nervous system damage
4. Possibility of taking another persons' life
5. Possibility of property damages
I am happy my system is allergic to alcohol.
Yeah stuff like this is way more effective than having those vids with unnaturally cheerful young adults going "don't do drugs kids", kids are not stupid, they don't need stuff to be dumbed down for them, and showing the serious consequences won't scar them.
People will always find a way to get fucked up, we've done it ever since we started walking upright. No amount of education will stop that and everyone taking hard drugs, knows the risks.
It’s the new stuff you gotta worry about cause no ones seen the down sides to those

Exactly, good point about having the right attitude. They're here to help, not punish. Punishment is the job of the courts.
Imagine how stressful it must be for her. Who wants to see someone die in the streets, she has to keep her cool and not freak out.
She's a damn good cop. Straight up.
I think she sounds fed up cus like she might have to watch someone die (possibly again) and she wants to detach herself from the awful situation as much as possible while still helping him as “protocol.” This line of work can bare a lot of weight on someone and sounding tired of seeing all the messed up stuff is only to be expected. Like seeing this dude throw his life away 😔
@@vincents782 She definitely has. There's been an opiate epidemic going on for the last decade, and fentanyl only made it worse
The emergency services are amazing. They're not judging him or angry with him. The whole time they're just trying to keep him alive. Until you fully understand the nature of addiction you cannot judge. I hope he's doing well..
I can judge this guy without too much homework. He's a danger to himself and to me and my loved ones. I'm likely paying for a big part of his existence. I just spent a few thousand tax dollars on this police/EMS/Hospital interaction with the guy. My judgement is that I'm a better person than him.

So glad his life is turned around and they saved him that day.
Most addicts don't look the part.
what’s the usual type to b using? your comment is disgusting and why addicts don’t get help and die everyday u should be ashamed of yourself
"The usual type"
@@sharonrigs7999 that’s functional addicts. I know I was with one for one and a half year without knowing. Especially with the people on the more heavier side, they look more healthy while using, while skinny people like my self you see it right away.
So it’s difficult to help when you don’t know what’s going on. So I’m so happy he got help. I know many chubby people they get lost because people don’t notice signs as much in them. I think it’s the eyes.
When you’re skinny your eyes get very dark and wrinkly, but natural fat prevents that zombie look. Also because they’re prone to be more hot they have color in their cheeks, where skinny people turn almost yellow and grey very fast.
So we really have to pay attentions to people emotions and mannerisms more than just for unhealthy signs so people can get help sooner.
There’s to many stereotypes. So many people don’t get the help they need because of people putting other people in boxes. But real people come in All kinds of boxes and have all kind of different shit in them. And there’s no model or solution or perspective that fits all. Or even a group. Every person is an individual and everything should be taken care of accordingly.
Then the world will heal faster and be more sustainable. Because the help is real for you. Not halfass and designed to help 3 million people kind of like you but then again totally different.
So I know people don’t look the part. That’s exactly why I’m happy to see him get help. He could’ve been overlooked like so many others because of stereotyping.❤️

“lets wake up friend” she was so tough but kind, I really admired that.
Me too
@Anderson Paak He wasn't in any mind state, he was out cold. Those shallow, ragged gasps aren't normal breathing, they're the last desperate attempt of a brain stem stuck in a body that's about to stop breathing forever. They're not called "last gasps" for nothing. Bringing someone back from death's door like that isn't an exact science, you need to be a bit rough to rouse them and gauge when the drugs are working. And believe me, this guy would rather be shaken and shouted at than pumped full of an unnecessarily high dose of Narcan which, in the extremely likely case that he's an addict, will immediately send him into full blown withdrawal.
@Anderson Paak I'm not sure why you're criticizing her for that, what are you saying? It was clear he was ODing, a tap on the shoulder isn't going to fix that.
@Anderson Paak Narcan is the best option for someone in the midst of an overdose, especially if used quickly. Yeah, there are other options possible, but to stop and try those before could mean losing the chance to save him. My dad works in harm reduction, I've heard way too many stories of people dropping out of nowhere from an overdose. Had they not given Narcan and waited, they would be dead.
I'm not 100% on this but by their movements, I'm pretty sure they are rubbing his sternum, if he was just sleeping he'd be at least semi-conscious real quick with how bad it can hurt lol.
They are trained to recognize signs of an overdose. She said later in the video as she was talking to him she could tell he had taken something.
It may seem like a lot of extra force but she really just saved his life as quick as she could.
@Anderson Paak It was clear from the moment the officer started talking to him. He had constricted pupils, heavy itching, that croaky, barely able to get the words out voice, nodded out repeatedly mid conversation; all classic signs of a heavy opioid dose that were recognized by this experienced officer (note that she immediately identified the sound of agonal breathing when she heard it; she's done this before). And Narcan is administered nasally so if a tap on the shoulder was sufficient he'd have certainly been woken up by having a plastic cylinder shoved up his nose before she actually administered the drug. Also, Narcan specifically blocks the effects of opioid drugs and would have had little to no effect if he didn't have any in his system. Had she been wrong, he'd have woken up, maybe have to blow his nose and that would have been the end of it. On the other hand, seconds count with this sort of thing. By the time agonal breathing starts CO2 has built up in the blood and the brain is already being starved of oxygen which can cause long term damage up to and including death outright (it's what kills people who OD on opioids). She acted correctly according to her training and experience and unquestionably saved this man's life.
This woman deserves all the praise she could get. Tough as nails but still human.
She was extremely professional during the entire encounter.
Her outstanding conduct should be commended.
No first she didnt do the dose of narcan right, she didn't lay the seat back or get him out of the car. The first dose came right back out because of gravity! They should of got him out of the car and put him on his side immidiately becuase if he vomited after the narcan he would of inhaled it.
She slowly walked to the cruiser to get the narrative when he wasn't breathing evert second counts look when the real heroes get there they run over and actually do a good job
@@carsonhurtado6959 Ya I know huh! I can't believe she saved this guy's life so wrong.

Most addicts aren't. The bad behavior on detox floors is a result of the physical shock the CNS goes into during withdrawal. Your body stops producing it's own inhibitory neurotransmitters. Withdrawal is the CNS going into overdrive because it's lost the ability to regulate itself.
There's also the fact that the drug, as perceived by the "reptilian" brain, becomes synonymous with life and continued survival. Throwing someone's alcohol down the drain or flushing their pills bypasses the frontal lobe and neocortex and is interpreted by the more primitive brain as threat to the addict's life. Same goes for interventions or any talk of treatment. Rections are so volatile because the brain is screaming, "this person is trying to kill me."

both my grandpa and father were addicts for all of or most of their lives. my grandpa passed away from the drugs. i ended up following in their footsteps when i was about 15. after a few overdoses and close calls i’m now 21 years old and 5 months sober. i’m so grateful to be here and clean and i’m so lucky to have kicked this while im still young. the officers and doctors i dealt with during my addiction were always so hateful and horrible to me. made it seem like i deserved to od. it’s refreshing to see how incredible this woman handled all of this and im so glad she was the officer that stopped him. it’s genuinely a miracle she found him when she did. i truly hope this man is on a better path now. recovery IS possible

That's amazing. My partner is quitting cigarettes by focusing it on nicotine then weaning off that. He's getting his smell back!
Wow, if she didn't pull him over he could have plowed into oncoming traffic or passed out behind the wheel while driving.
Good work officers!
He prolly od hideing the drug from the officer only a matter of time after that
One of the good ones. 👍
Yup..and if he woulda made it to where he was going..he woulda passed out and died for sure
She caught him just in time
The officer handled that situation really calm and not aggressive at all. She saved his life and maybe others if he was not pulled over.
This is exactly why i will never touch drugs. Hearing the guy unconscious gasping for air as he suffocates to death is too much
Never say never
So you never tried alcohol? That’s impressive!
@@Cognitoman never
Damn it, I was going to sell you some.
Good boy
I was an addict by accident when the drs prescribed me percocets and at that time I had no clue what they were, for 6 years I struggled , I relapsed, I nearly died, I definitely overdosed a few times and my whole world revolved around getting more drugs
Served time in prison for that, flipped my car down a mountain , lost my child to my parents before that thank the lord he might have not been here today, lost the house, was raped by an on duty cop which is part of the reason they have vodycams now thank the lord, and more
You NEVER want to touch anything nasty
Pot is fine pot is nothing, but anything other than that you run away from always
4 years clean by the grace of our lord but it didn't come with permanent life changes and pain ill never be able to work past

I always thought an OD was instant. I didn’t realize you could drive, speak and have some what a conversation. He has angels IMO.
This is heartbreaking yet I’m so happy he’s alive 🙏🏼
95% of what you hear about drugs is bullshit pushed by the media and police to stigmatize drug use and more importantly drug users
Me too I thought the same thing, it’s a good thing the officer knew otherwise
I used to be in a class for EMT, it typically is rather quick in their reactions to the drugs, but sometimes their symptoms start off on a medium level then they progress into the OD state where they often doze off which is why his eyes kept rolling back.. hope this helped!
It is painless. You literally have no idea you're breathing that way and your respiratory system is shutting down. In your mind you're in a dream. So weird. Thank God I don't have that in my life anymore 🙏 and thank God for that police officer. She was brilliant, calm and knew the drill. All of them attending treated this guy with such humility. Hope he got help. You can't do it alone.

Seeing this guy stand up after just being so close to death is amazing. Narcan is an incredible drug, and these officers and medics are also incredible.
I've saved a few people back when I used heroin. Been clean since 2011. Just the other day I had some girl overdose on my front step. I didn't have naloxone so the cops were able to revive her. It's crazy to see someone completely unconscious and not responding come alive as soon as they get a dose. There's no way around lying you weren't high when that happens lol.

After a couple years your brain "forgets the feeling" which makes it much easier. The thing is most people don't make it that long sadly which is why I'm all for suboxone maintenance...methadone no lol.
@@priscillaharper65 i was on 16mg as well but it sounds like you're tapering too quickly. I would say to taper 2mg every couple months. Don't rush it!

@@priscillaharper65 to put into perspective suboxone half life is very long compared to heroin. A 5-7 day detox vs well over a month. Like I said just take it slow...the more time you're away from opiates and opioids the better! The longer you're clean helps the brain heal and to stop associating drugs with pleasure. You got this! 🤗
This officer deserves a raise or something to recognize her actions during this. She saved this mans life and was caring and compassionate during the whole situation.
Officer: "Take any drugs or alcohol?"
Guy: "no"
Also guy: picks up phone to tell the person on the phone to wait because he's on the phone.
Lmao fr I noticed that
It looked to me he was on 2 phones... Watched it twice... How was he driving ?!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
as sad as the situation is that was fucking hilarious
what is drugs
It’s crazy how calm she is during all of this. Very professional
no shit
Well you’re pretty detached from all this some asshole does drugs. And passes out
They're trained not to freak out. They have to keep their composure because they're the only ones who can make the situation better. So they always revert to their training.
Completely disagree. She was annoyed, laughed, and joked about the freaking thing with fellow officers, and took her sweet a$$ time giving it to him. I almost researched who she was just to write a letter of how Unprofessional she was.
@@johnnymartinez478 yea. Didn’t seem like she was even considering panicking
imagine they didnt pull him over, 2 minutes later he wouldve crashed and possibly killed innocents
I’m not really sure but he could’ve overdoses because he tried to take the rest of the drugs he had oh him. Maybe maybe not
He pulled over himself and the cop followed. I’m sure he seen her is the reason he pulled over though.
Or pulled over and died in his car
He didn't get pulled over he had pulled over by himself. But he probably would have crashed
the cop didn’t pull him over
Its so hard to hear a body desperate to keep a person alive when all they do is destroy it. Responders are amazing at keeping cool, calm and collected. Focused on saving a life.
She probably safe his life by pulling him over. He would have OD alone while driving a moving vehicle.
She probably saved other people's lives as well, he should be charged with a DUI. This is a criminal act.
@@rs72098 wow no shit
Dain J she didn’t have to really pull him over. He knew and he was swerving saw the cop car she also knew something was up. and when your like that under drugs or someone’s nervous a typical person tends to pull over and try to act their tired or something happened like this guy. If not than it’s all sirens or a chase. 😂 Thankfully he went and parked up and she followed after. Didn’t have to technically put sirens on to know that somethings up when he was swerving and pulled into a store
She didn’t pull him over he was smart enough to pull over himself
@@rs72098 yeah, but people need to understand addiction is an illness and a mental disorder, and instead of locking them up we need to just send them to addiction recovery centers
This should be shown in high school health classes
i wholeheartedly agree. although, knowing todays mindset, someone, somewhere wouldn't allow it, citing racism.
“He wasn’t black. This makes it racist. We need to be inclusive to all races” some blm/femanist somewhere.
it’s is in my school, i’m taking medical classes and we learn about medically prescribed opioids and illegals opioids and what they do and how Narcan works.
I totally agree, doing hard drugs is close to having a death wish. People NEED to be more scared of these drugs. (And I’m not talking about weed 🙄)
Yea. This be better than that dare shit
Never take anything alone, kids. This young man was lucky. Honestly, just don't do drugs. I pray he's getting better.
If it was as easy as "just don't do drugs" no one would be an addict. There's many reasons people get addicted. Myself I started with pain killers and developed further opiate addiction. Luckily I have been clean for a while now.

good advice on being with someone...my best buddy OD'd on me, after a few minutes of me trying all I could, i called 911, he lived. he moved away years later and was found dead and alone of an overdose in his apartment. i still wonder if he was really alone, or someone bailed on him in a panic. wont ever know
@@sox7775 I have the same issue 6 years ago when I hurt my back and start taking pain killer am still in trouble until today I can’t stop
Im a recovering opioid addict and watching these remind me why I never want to go back to that. I overdosed 16 times before I found help to get off. The E.R actually got me into the suboxone program that saved my life. Now I can be the mom I was meant to be and give back to other addicts in need of help. I’ve been clean for 8 years now.

@CTF WB bruh you literally sound like you’re on drugs, or one of those conspiracy theorists, if she was trying to kill him, she would have not called anyone at all or given him narcan. it’s SUPER important you stay calm in any sort of situation like this, because if she would have started running and rushing around, she would have forgotten something. this was literally a success, he was revived and taken to the hospital. he’s clearly more heavy set, so she probably just wanted to see if she could just give him the narcan without trying to fumble with the seat or drag him out of the car. she knew just what to do, and she did it all. plus this only took 13 minutes not the 20+ you mentioned. he was od’d for probably like 5 or 6 minutes, so no, she wasn’t taking her time, she was probably just reminding herself to stay calm and composed.
@@notavailable1174 yeah i hate closet racist cop hating fucks like that guy...sad thing is they think they are oh so right all while judging and shitting on people and situaitons they most likely no nothing at all about...

What's scary is how calm the female Officer was during this, like she's handled this kind of situation many, many times.
Just bc she’s calm doesn’t meant she might’ve dealt with it so many times. All officers naturally have to be calm in situations like these

I think it's less of her being calm and more like being desensitized. Big difference, and unfortunately, due to this being so common in the US, I think it's her being desensitized.

Congrats I'm currently on a one year run of a lot of fentanyl. Im glad you got out of the grasp. Respect.
Hope for the rest of your life... u deserve it
Without Narcan it’s all over. She saved him big time.
And she saved others by getting him off the road when she did.
Scary thing is if it was fentanyl, the narcan would have done nothing. He's very fortunate that they got him before he was too far gone, or before he hurt anyone.
@@HaiyeeeTrololol you have no idea what you're talking about fentanyl is just another opioid and narcan binds to the same receptors so it would bring him out of it,that's why they're taking him because if the narcan wears off the fentanyl will knock him back out,he 100% took fentanyl and that's why he is the way he is in the video
@Aaron whatever you say.

@@CERTI0151 So true brother I do not agree with any drug use. however I served in the Marine Corps from 2006 2010 on which Iraq in 2007 and then went to Afghanistan in 2009 I got hit by an IED, While on the 605 route in Afghanistan in Marsha (I think that’s how you spell it) I went back out after a week off, I requested to go back out, I got hit again and had a grade 3 concussion 2x, I got medevac out.... I received a Purple Heart for my wounds. However after all of this I was in so much pain, my jaw was displaced on the left side the ball and joint socket ripped out when the bomb hit me under the driver seat, The only reason I survived was because the MRAP (MINE RESISTANT AMBUSH PROTECTED)Vehicle had a V-shaped hull, Which means that if a blast or bomb is detonated under the vehicle it will deflect the blast outwards. .
It saved my life thank God, But to get back on track I got prescribed to painkillers and got hooked on them, I ended up losing my rights to my prescription because I was abusing them and moved to snorting heroin, I never put a needle in my body only because I’m scared of them and I will pass out, this is a common thing because I always pass out when I get a shot from the doctor or something.
However I want everyone to read this whole message and know the reason I am telling you this and I’m posting this on social media, because I was addicted to opiates but I was not an opiate user before I got injured in Afghanistan, it almost killed me ladies and gentlemen, if it was not for my strong will and my motivation I would not be alive today I would be dead and overdosed on heroin.
One day I woke up after snorting one line of heroin laced with fentanyl I was by myself by the grace of God I woke back up and noticed that my dog was licking my face trying to wake me up, I don’t know why I got a second chance but I did, I don’t want anyone to judge this guy right here that is going to this because he might be in the same position I was in just remember that please

Oh god that death rattle gave me chills. My sister OD’d on heroin and it took 5 shots narcan to get her breathing and they did CPR for 10-15 minutes. Before she completely stopped breathing she had that rattle and it almost makes me cry hearing it again. She’s been sober 3 years now. Thank god.
Death rattle is very common in situations near death pretty crazy sounds
My Uncle OD'd and unfortunately didn't make it as the EMT just didn't get there in time. I hope Narcan will continue to save lives, and that those people will realize the 2nd chance they've been given at life and make every day count. Awesome your sis has been sober 3 years now, that's an amazing achievement. One day at a time.
Amen.
same my mom OD when i was eleven i hate the death rattle
The rattle is an obstructed airway like a snore. By doing a head tilt chin lift u can save a life and help someone maintain their airway. Basic life support. If u hear the rattle the person is obstructed and u need to open their airway. Also they may vomit and breathe it in and u need to clear their mouth and throat

It’s nice that she wasn’t rude to him. You have to be in a dark place to be taking heroin. Hopefully he gets help to sober up, especially if he has a kid.
dark place or too much money
@@zaydhassan3554 heroin is not something you’d take for fun, it’s not the same as a “party drug”
But yes, too much money can lead people to a dark place.
@@sGypsyKiing1984 rich people and celebrities are more prone to heroine and drug addiction.
@@zaydhassan3554 do you know much about heroin? Cocaine is more sustainable for an addict than heroin.
@@sGypsyKiing1984 cocaine heroine or anything else. doesn't matter. I'm talking about 'drugs'
You can say it’s his fault all you want but what I’m seeing is someone who needs some serious help 😔
That’s fine to say would you still say that if he crashed the weapon he was driving into a crowd of your family?
@@kylieknight2365 Because of the circumstances I would still forgive him. What would you do burn him at the stake?
@@biddyearly9262 what if he had killed one of your family members while driving his car? Still forgive him then? If he wants to kill himself on drugs no problem but when he gets behind the wheel of a weapon all bets are off he is public enemy number one!
If he killed somebody, he would be tried for murder with special circumstances. (death penalty) If he doesn't kill anybody, he didn't kill anybody. He needs help before he does. I am sick and tired of seeing people who are perfectly capable of driving over the legal limit. They are pulled over and have their lives destroyed. They hurt no one.
I drive impaired every day. I have MD. I must compensate my disabilities by traveling slower, maintaining greater distance between cars and only drive during daylight hours. I had a discussion with my insurance agent. She said people with impairments are often awarded safe driver status.
@@kylieknight2365 People Can be very forgiving. Look up the story of a Muslim mom that hugged the same man that killed her son while they were in court. She HUGGED her son’s killer and said “I don’t hate you. I can’t hate you. That’s not our way...” and she said things about how he is still a baby like her son was and said a lot of powerful things that can change how you think about life.
Great job, officer. You saved a life !
If you are reading this and struggle with addiction, know that you are loved. You are better than this, and you WILL overcome your addiction.
thank you , I needed this... I'm addicted to bussin down in csgo , all I do is 1 shitters left and right fuckin nns.
@@InsaneGamer4thewin 😂😂😂
Thank you.
@@InsaneGamer4thewin lulw
Just made little over a year sober its so hard to watch this not for my own pain but cuz I lost my best friend. She overdosed two days after I made 300 days clean.
She had a Narcan kit in her cruiser. Ohio has such a terrible opioid problem.
The WHOLE NATION, brotha!!!
Unfortunately, I know that allllll to well.
I’m sure a lot of cops all over the country carry them.
Yeah cops carry them in their cruisers all over the country
Gotta bring you back so they can arrest you duh. Just kidding lucky for this person hope they get some help.
The fact she stays so calm means they deal with this WAYYYYYYY too much and have probably seen countless people not make it back out of this state.
columbus ohio...= lots of narcan being deployed....
@@jedknutson8373 That's why I moved out of Ohio 5 years ago brother.
Columbus is really bad with heroin and fentanyl right now
@@Evan-qh9fs honestly what state _isnt_ having a heroin and fentanyl problem? Its everywhere, every state and every city, just tearing this place apart. I wouldn't be surprised if most of this drama we're having with antifa and BLM is due to people melting their brains with opiates and making fuckwit decisions. I'm an hour north of Seattle and I can tell you right now, if the opiates were gone, none of this CHAZ and constant rioting bullshit would be happening.
I think they also genuinely have a knack for this.. EMTS, Police, firefighters.. all first responders. God blessed them with a special type of patience. I commend all of them for this type of work 👏👏👏👏
“he’s ODing”
*slowly walks back to and around car to find narcan*
“If there is one” *in response to if shes getting one*
Incredibly caring officer here 😂
Dude I noticed the same thing.😮
Dannng, she took one look at him & knew he was overdosing.
Edit: Wow, thanks for the likes guys
It's part of their job (:
that croaky rattle he had in his voice is very common to have when taking opioids, she probably was aware of it when she heard him speaking, also the constant scratching himself (face and body), it usually makes you itchy from a histamine response
That and narcan is completely harmless if the patient doesnt need it. Works wonders on someone who overdosed on drugs. Therefore universally the drug can be used for anyone with a altered mental status with no answer as to the cause.
@@coldspider2199 whoever invented it is a genius.
No she didn’t even call until he fell over
Boy was she in the right place at the right time, not only did she save his life and those of other potential drivers had he hit someone. But she did it calmly, with respect and reminded herself of her training when he started agonal breathing and knew exactly what to do. Well done that Officer a true definition of 'Protect and Serve'.
Not really he almost veered left into oncoming traffic she could’ve lit him up as soon as he left his lane
Too bad most cops wouldn’t react this way.
"With respect" roflmao
🙏😇🙏
@@crazydrummer181 too bad u don’t know what you’re talking about
I was on fentanyl for over 6 years , and I'm celebrating over a year now of sobriety. God bless who ever is reading this
proud of you !$
wow congratulations. i hope all is well
Shut up dude there's no god
im proud for myself for never using that dumb ish
Just look at it this way…China wants you dead! Please don’t allow them the honor, ok? 😢😢😢
You guys saved his life! He od’d and y’all brought him back to life! Awesome job!
Now he can enjoy getting high again :)
GIVE THIS POLICE WOMAN A RAISE. Stayed so calm and knew exactly what to do the entire time with administering the Narcan and keeping him awake, easily saved multiple lives that day. Unfortunately probably because she's seen it so many times before, but damn she's awesome.
Really? She sounded like she was aggravated that she had to actually do something.
@@owensbama1923 or idk maybe she’s just so used to people OD’ing it’s just second nature, plus she can be as annoyed as she wants as long as she’s helping which she was
Lol she had no clue what she was doing 😂😂😂🤦♂️
The female office didn't keep him awake at all
She's shit
Agonal breathing or agonal gasps are the last reflexes of the dying brain. I hope in his conscious state he realizes his life was just saved.
I thought this would be about a butt plug. Anyone else?
Like that couple that got killed in philly by their neighbor over snow 😢
@@Chicago317girly I don't blame him.
Unfortunately a large number of addicts I used Narcan on were assholes when they came back from the brink of death because we’d ruined their high.
@@mattwilliams3456 I can understand from both experiences being on both sides.. when my friend od d and I brought him back, it was just like it didn't happen to him???? He never said anything and just said "oh really" ..... And then months later I do it to him except just from the way I had felt and by the look on his face I knew exactly what had just happened
I've been drug-free for 7 years and proud of it thank you Jesus
This is the saddest. Imagine being those officers, watching someone almost die. I couldn’t handle it. I’m happy to know there are people out there that have the ability to do that job.
Being a Paramedic, calls like this are usually just disappointing after you get them up and talking and they insist they've never done an opiate and the must just be tired. Those are a little depressing knowing they will probably OD again, but atleast you know they will do some thinking. The earth shattering calls are all the ones who were found 15 minutes or more too late, and its their family that you are dealing with. Those are the ones that stick with you, and even sometimes get me terrified about raising my young boys in a world, where drug dealers trying to make a few extra bucks could easily murder them if they happen to hang out with the wrong friend one day. It's those moments, and for the families left to pick up the pieces, that we get sad. If you or someone you know has a problem, it's only a matter of time before you end up in a body bag, get some help and choose to live.
Watchin sumone die is easy bro
@Carl Johnson how many innocents?
@Carl Johnson Hey man, you should take a lower dose of mainstream media, you're OD'ing on bullshit.
I've gone to calls and found people cold and dead with the needle still in their arms.
Hats off to these men & women in blue who probably saved this man’s life.
Just the first officer.
Lol probably?
Actually they’re wearing black and white but sure in blue
She’s wearing white.
not worth it tho, he’s just gonna leave the ER and go finish shooting up the rest of his dope. its a sad cycle but thats addiction for ya.
Death rattle. I'll never forget hearing it when my mom died from lung cancer. still gives me chills.
Sorry to hear that I hope she rests in peace and I hope God heals every cancer patient 🌷
@@rebeccapetty1k390 thank you♥️
So sorry to know about your loss. My daddy died from lung cancer to.
so sorry you had to experience that. RIP mommy
This is actually called agonal breathing which is different from death rattle but both are very sad to hear
Nice to hear no negative words and showing him compassion, it's not hard.
June 3rd this year I will be 8 years clean. Just seeing this video was a reminder of how stupid I was and how grateful I am to be clean and alive today. If your someone that's addicted to Heroin. It's not worth it. You should give it up because changing your life around for the good is so much better.
I hope you are still doing well. CONGRATULATIONS on doing one of the hardest things to do in life! If you had a setback, I hope you are doing better am I am proud of you.
@@mariapoulos767 Thank You for your kind words and I'm doing great still.😊
I do have them bad days. But I fight right through it and put my mind on something else when challenging things are thrown my way.
Last year 2020 I literally lost 9 family members and I was shocked I held it all together. That has been hard on me with me already battling depression as it is.
But I'm taking one day at a time and keeping my mind busy. That's all any of us can do really.
Again Thank You 😁😁😁
@@steadycuzzin5813 I am so very PROUD of you. I am also so very sorry about the 9 people that you lost in 2020, I can only imagine how difficult this is for you. You have the correct game plan to take it one day at a time. Feel sad even depressed is absolutely normal, we are all dealing with these emotions right now missing loved ones. I successful gained 16lbs working from home the last 13 months, so yeah I'm trying to walk every day. Always know that you sharing your story does touch others. I am wishing you nothing but happiness and strength!
Keep up the great job 😃
@@mariapoulos767 Believe it or not, but your kind words actually make me feel good tbh. I dont get much of that ever lol.
So Thank You! 😊😊😁😁
@@steadycuzzin5813 You are welcome my friend. We are have struggles in life, no one is perfect NO ONE! And I believe we all should take time to celebrate our wins, and cheer on the it's okay it's a new day, you got this! So always remember you MUST be your own cheerleader first, then never stop celebrating your success. 😘
He definatley needs to see and hear this video once he is back on earth
amen
You can show them but they repeat it anyway because the high is worth it to them. They know they could die every time the put it into their bodies yet they choose to do it anyway. Sad but true.
@@fizarrah you don’t know the mindset of every individual struggling, don’t state facts that simply aren’t true just because you think they are.
@@davidgibson2284 my whole family is addicts, I know more than I should. I know many start off with chasing the high, but continue to avoid the sickness of coming down.
@@fizarrah you think you do, but things are never the same when you’re living it and seeing it from the outside looking in. You may think you know everything there is to know about what goes on in the head of an addict, but you have no idea.
She is so relaxed and easy going while he is overdosing, very normal pace, no sense of urgency, lol.
This police officer's kindness, awareness, and compassion absolutely warms my heart.
Yeah this is actually the majority of police officers.
@@Zumaray 👀
she actually seemed annoyed by him
@@F90-s7q I thought so too. I actually thought she wasn’t quick enough.
@@Amber-tu2ol Naw, they just have experience in it and know there only so much they can do.
So they just stay calm & get the job done.
It definitely pisses most of them off but not because they don’t care, it’s completely opposite.
They’re pissed and annoyed because they feel like the work they’re doing is even helping when people are dying right in their face.
We’re all humans.
People have to remember that and not expect other people to be perfect super hero’s if they don’t expect it from themselves.
It’s all love. ✌️ B Good
Omg she was so professional and calm, she saved his life this is effin crazy. This makes me want to cry.
Why bother
She did amazing huh? I was impressed!!
😢
Ok
Too calm, almost like she didn’t really care. In an OD like this seconds are important. He could’ve died in the time it took her to get out, get the narcan and administer it and not care if it worked because his positioning. She could’ve at least pulled him out of the car.
