Not mentioned in the title: he was snorting confiscated fent.

Also this is a cop from the town all the Proud Boys who came to Portland in 2020 live in.

Anyway, happy Friday! officer-down

From the article

Kelly’s death came hours after a local drug seizure, according to records obtained by OPB. A Battle Ground police officer that morning found an unoccupied vehicle with guns and narcotics sitting in plain sight. After the seizure, the officer turned the guns and narcotics over to Kelly.

“The evidence seized in this case was processed and listed for ‘destruction’ by Sergeant Kelly,” the officer wrote in his report.

Later that day, Kelly was alone in his office for roughly two hours before another Battle Ground officer discovered the sergeant standing and bent over his desk. The officer said Kelly’s breathing was labored.

A small pile of white powder — later confirmed to be fentanyl — rested bare on a notepad on Kelly’s desk. Investigators noted an “extended line” of powder on the desk and found a straw of rolled-up white paper that was “consistent with what would be used to snort or inhale narcotics.” There was fresh vomit near the computer keyboard, they noted.>>>

They'll still give him a hero officer's burial with the 21 gun salute when he died on the job snorting fat lines of confiscated fentanyl. lol, lmao.

I don't believe it. Fatal overdoses take time, the timeline doesn't add up if they found him still conscious, standing, and breathing. Story only doesn't set off alarm bells if you believe the propaganda that fentanyl is like cyanide poison rather than just a really strong opiate. This shit looks more like police murdering another cop and blaming an accidental overdose.

Something is seriously wrong with this story. They found him alive, still standing and breathing, but no one administered the Narcan nasal spray literally every police station in the US currently has on hand? I'm sorry but even if they didn't have Narcan on hand at the police station, the paramedics that responded would have administered it. Battle Ground Washington isn't some backwater population 50 people rural town that doesn't have all the normal resources but is a small city in a state with record opiate overdoses. At this point paramedics in states like Washington and Oregon administer Narcan even when they aren't 100% sure it's an opioid overdose because it's better safe than sorry.

It really depends on when they came across him. Fent is just a really strong opiate, but it's also the only (common) opiate that can handily out power narcan. I had someone around to start narcanning me immediately once thing started going wrong, it still took all 3 of our narcans and actual chest compressions to get me up. Narcan is a miracle drug that will save people from overdoses, but hitting a fat ass fent patch can definitely be too much for Narcan to handle. Plus, not really breathing for like 10 minutes is plenty to kill someone.

With that being said, yeah, this story sounds fishy af.

exact same thought, makes no sense if literally anyone there had any amount of competence. then again, cops are fucking stupid so maybe they just panicked

[-] WayeeCool@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

then again, cops are fucking stupid so maybe they just panicked

Still makes zero sense if you know the area. Even if the cops panicked the paramedics on the scene have a shit ton of experience with opiate overdoses because it's Battle Ground Washington. Cops could have been complete idiots who thought it was a heart attack in progress even though they claim there were lines of white powder and a rolled up straw but the paramedics would have instantly known what was happening and what to do.

[-] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

if they were trying to silence a guy and also use it for some good ol' propaganda it makes a lot more sense, i agree
