Florida deputy Jesse Hernandez screamed “shots fired,” and frantically fired his gun after an acorn fell onto the roof of his squad car, making him jump.

    The best part…

    After hearing the sound of the acorn, the deputy reported that he also felt a “tingliness” all along the side of his body. He then said his “legs just give out” and he fell to the ground, assuming that he had been seriously injured by something.

    We experience what we believe… Our minds are so incredibly capable of deceiving us.

      That’s why they also spread the myth of fentanyl overdoses by incidental contact. They see an unknown substance, have a panic attack, and assume they’re OD’ing.

      Ask any paramedic… you really can’t OD from incidental skin contact with fentanyl.

        Who is they and why would they need to spread a myth that skin contact with fentanyl would cause an OD?

            Drug addicts would be the first to know skin contact with fentanyl doesn’t cause an OD so yeah not sure that’s the answer…

            But, even if they didn’t know I don’t see how drug addicts thinking skin contact with fentanyl causing an OD enables cops to abuse them more?
