    I’m pretty sure this is from the video of a dumbass pig having a panic attack because she touched an unknown powder (turned out not to be drugs at all) during a traffic stop because she thought it was fentanyl. Fentanyl does not cross the skins barrier.

      … Wow.

      Thats… even more stupid.

      … Dang.

      She’s having a completely psychosomatic paralysis episode?

      … This person should not be trusted with a firearm.

      Armed, dangerous and mentally unstable under pressure, fuck.

          Yeah…

          Also, having unfortunately survived being homeless for a while…

          (i mean, im glad i survived, awkward phrasing, whatever)

          I can tell you that fentanyl can get into you if you have cuts on your skin, fresh cuts or wounds.

          But uh… this is a fairly easily solvable problem for cops:

          Gloves!

          And… you… can see… in this image…

          That her right hand has such a glove on it.

          Sooooo… she probably has the other glove on the other hand as well.

          Also, if she had enough time to… put on gloves… chances are low that she has…fresh, bleeding wounds on her hands.

          -sigh-

        That’s not how a panic attack looks, at all. Don’t know her deal though.

      Fentanyl does cross the skin barrier, patches exist, but ain’t shit happening if you just touch it.

        I’m no pharmacologist, but I think those patches are made with some sort of gel that, surely, aids in the absorption though the skin.

        Could be wrong though I just, the gel might just be for time release.
