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!!
23 years old... and a father. I lost my dad to a drug od when I was 8 years old. Watched him die on our couch. Still, I followed him down that road. Now 42, and sober, I'm grateful to be alive. I really hope he is still alive and that kid has a dad.
Im sorry that you had to experience that so young, people don’t realize how traumatic things like that can be unless they’ve been through it. I’m glad you were able to get help so you could live a healthy and happy life! Everyone deserves a second chance. My husband used to be an addict, but he didn’t CHOOSE to do the drugs, someone had given it to him and told him it was something else and he just got hooked! Everyone is so quick to judge!
I don't think any addict ever chooses to live that life . Unfortunately I believe it chooses us and we are completely powerless in its grasp. There truly are only 2 ways out. Sobriety or death. I'm so lucky to have made it out alive. I have a brain injury to show for it but I'm ALIVE. In all honesty, I probably should have been in the ground. Someone or something was looking out for me. There's no other explanation. I'm so glad your husband is alive and well. If anyone reads this that needs help or you just wanna talk, about anything, no judgment... I'm here for you.
What a rollercoaster of a short comment. As I'm getting older, I'm realizing the true strength required to sober up once the addiction has become muscle memory. Good on you. I hope you're living a happy life.
I love how professional and non-judgemental everyone in this video was. They were 100% focused on helping this guy and worrying about the punishment aspect at a later time.
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.
Thanks to the unwavering support of his family and the dedicated professionals at the rehab center, John successfully overcame addiction, transformed into a responsible father, and saved not only his own life but also brought joy and stability to his daughter's world.
I remember seeing this video and thinking “wow that’s crazy poor guy”. About a month or two later I ended up overdosing at home. Paramedics had arrived when I was already dead for 10min. Another 10min later I came back to life out of nowhere, the paramedics couldn’t believe it. I put my parents through the worst experience of their lives that night and I never regretted anything more. Been clean for 2 months already since that day.
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.
@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.
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 🥺🥺🥺
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.
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.❤️
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.
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 😊
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.
@@PTSDeeD212 you're apparently the one smokin crack here...that is not at all what this video portrays and you're definitely the only one that's made a comment saying anything like that. You must be a cop hater to have taken any of the opinions you have from this video
@@Lauren-pt3gz fun fact, most cops are. The media shows the small percentage of bad cops on a loop while the good cops get mentioned once or not at all.
“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 😂
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.
@@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.
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!
This woman is a hero. Thank you to the people who have to do this. I’m sorry that we are so lost, as a society, so hurt and broken, and purposeless, that we as a society turn to drugs that destroy us.
Saying " Hold on one moment, im on the phone " to the person that you are on the phone with is definitely super high behavior. 😂 I hope he is doing better now
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.
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.
Your right I forgot, the death gurgle. Things you don’t learn until you lose someone, my mom. Thanks to Hospice they prepare you before so you have an idea what’s coming
@@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.
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.
I have so much compassion with him and was afraid that he was going to get toasted in the comments, but after reading them, it’s heartwarming to see your support for him. Made me cry… there are still good people in this shitty world.
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 😔
I love that we now have naloxone available. I spent many years being an addict... I'm so grateful that getting pregnant with my son helped motivate me to get sober. Been clean 8 years this year now!
@@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.
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🙏🏽🙏🏽
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! 🤗
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.
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.
@@thesilentone4024 addiction happens anywhere. Usually from trauma in there childhood and mental health problems and drugs helped reduce feelings. Don’t ever mark someone as a POS or stupid for getting into drugs. It’s not a choice the 2nd and times after that. Addiction is a disease that effects millions and 99% of heroin addicts don’t get clean. I’m clean and make over 135,000$ a year and have my own house,gf,2 cars and so much more and went through the ringer to everything. People like you are so uneducated and ignorant that you have no idea how hard that life really is and how many innocent good people who die off this real devastating disease that is almost impossible to get over especially hard drugs. I got over it and I got everything I wished for when I was in addiction. Clearly you have no clue how hard life can get. Judging by ur comment you are most likely a teenager who thinks these people are stupid and doesn’t have the mental capacity to understand it’s real life and there affected and there families or ur just stupid
@@thesilentone4024 can tell u are very uneducated on real world issues of this world. Just because you get into drugs doesn’t make you a POS junkie who doesn’t deserve life. That’s someone son,mother,daughter or grandma,father,sister who people love with there whole heart and the addict is suffering horribly and the family and no one CHOOSED for that to happen
@@JB-pp1kt wo hold up all i did was say how low do you need to go and I get a novel. So 1 its not a disease its a choice i lived with a couple and even they say they like the high its all on them they know its killing them they dont care and before you say its hard my mom did drugs got pregnant and stopped the next day because she didn't want to hurt it and she hasn't used since then its been 20 years now also anyone that tells you they need help and mean it yes they my need help but this whole disease thing hows it a disease those are living things that attack the body drugs don't there not living and all they do it rip apart the body it doesn't care what it is blood bone eyes it doesn't care but a disease cares it will go only for blood or the eyes mybe 2 things at the same time tell it disables them or kills them drugs just kill you if you don't stop or use to much then your done then
You guys are totally ignoring the severity of this. If your gonna do drugs atleast do them on your own time in your one space. This man was doped up operating a vehical. Man could’ve killed an innocent person. If that actually did happen, I think it’s fair to say he stooped pretty low, and I would have no sympathy for him
@@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
Going on 11 yrs without that shit. The greatest feeling was looking into my daughter's eyes knowing she wouldn't have to see any of that shit like I did. I decided to break the cycle in my family, and I haven't looked back since. I'm a single dad now, and wouldn't change anything. That's one thing that's really cool is not regretting any of the horrible crap I went through because had one little thing been different I wouldn't have my amazing kid, and dogs, or money saved up. I hope this guy finds his reason. Unfortunately, living that life leaves a person with only two options. You can either end up dead, or in prison. There is no other option. You cannot live a successful, long-living, crime free lifestyle as a drug addict. Not even the wealthy can. No one is immune. (Btw, to anyone who od's on heroin. If the cops bring you back with narcan you were using heroin, so stop trying to deny it. You sound like an idiot. Just admit what they already know & let them try to help you please.)
@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.
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.
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
Truly incredible. This officer saved his life and countless otthers on that road. What an amazing role she played. I’ve watched so many of these videos and it’s crazy to think these drivers would have just died without their help.
Ugh. That feeling of coming out of an OD, the icy feeling going through your veins. The cloudiness in your head. Scared and confusion. Embarrassment. So glad I'm over all that. Hope he's doing well.
@@katemarsh7131 It's a side effect feeling of getting narcan'd. Like you can feel it in your veins. It literally feels like ice cubes. And if you are a daily user addicted, about 30 seconds after waking up, you are thrown instantly into withdrawal. You are puking and getting diaharrea.
~ 2023 ~ First time watching this and can I just say this officer EXEMPLIFIES the motto *"To Protect and Serve"*? Her approach, tone and conduct with this guy, and throughout the entire incident, was not just professional...it was kind. She was respectful even as she was briefing the responding coming on scene, never once belittling him or talking sarcastically in her run-through. I hope she never loses that disposition and that years of service doesn't harden her or change the character she displayed on this call.
23yrs old!..😢…breaks my heart to think about all the ones who didn’t have someone close by to save them!..This epidemic is gotten way outta control!..and will only get worse!..So sad!.. All of the officers and first responders did a fantastic job once again!..
I am so lucky and blessed that I never had to experience this. Over 3 1/2 years sober and I can’t believe it’s been that long. I hope everyone who commented their sobriety length is still going at it strong❤️
I think she did an amazing job. If seeing someone in distress caused her to start freaking out how would that have saved his life and possibly others he might've crashed into? I'm glad he was able to pull over and so thankfully this officer did her job by saving his life. I hope he got help.
I was just thinking that she handles that urgent situation very calmly. Friend of mine is a cop and he sees the most fucked up shit consistently. Understandable but still admirable.
The officer was really good with him. I'm so happy to hear he's in recovery. That means so much. A lot of addicts are good people we just don't no how to ask for help and receive it. I myself is a recovering addict. I've been clean from Xanax 11 yrs. Praying for your brother 🙏
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
For those who say that the lady was laughing, be aware that that is normal because that is a way to cope it is a natural coping condition.it’s called nervous laughter.
Cop-haters need to know that the Police do this every day in drug-infected areas. God bless them and keep them safe, because they go into buildings where every person is an addict, and every person packs at least one gun.
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.
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.
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.
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
It really warms my heart to see the overwhelming support in the comments. Addiction is an awful disease. One that I suffer from, and many people I know do as well. I’m glad to hear this guy got help.
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.

@@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.
Y’all were his guardian angels that night he’s alive because of y’all great work to all the first responders especially the officer who stopped with him 👍👍👍
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!
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.
I have been through panic attacks. Not from drugs. My life is good. Long story of the past way back with someone so wrong. I as smart to leave. Still out of the blue I panic and feel scared
@@vernajohnson2686 Ahh the first time I had them were soooo scary, now its wayyy better I learned to accept it, actually its kinda fun in a way with the adrenaline
I hope he is doing rlly well toda, he is very polite and deserves the best, i know he put people in danger from driving but seriously, i hope he doing better
@@Javifrom303 it really depends on what they on, people on like herion/narcotics (depressants), there pupils would be tiny, how ever if he’s on meth/cocaine (stimulants) then his pupils wouldn’t constrict at all, if he were high/drunk then his eyes would be red or glossy, also if they drunk the pupils will constrict and get smaller, they do it to see if your on anything

Damn right, it's crazy!!
Lol 😂 same though I had
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!!

Definitely am
@@TheoP582 how do u know? Apparently everyone is lying nowadays 🤦
I got 5 years clean coming up in Oct. I have been in his position before and I am so happy to hear your brother is better and doing well.

saying "hold on I am on the phone" to the person on the phone is the ultimate sign of highness

What if she just made things worse.
23 years old... and a father. I lost my dad to a drug od when I was 8 years old. Watched him die on our couch. Still, I followed him down that road. Now 42, and sober, I'm grateful to be alive. I really hope he is still alive and that kid has a dad.
Im sorry that you had to experience that so young, people don’t realize how traumatic things like that can be unless they’ve been through it. I’m glad you were able to get help so you could live a healthy and happy life! Everyone deserves a second chance. My husband used to be an addict, but he didn’t CHOOSE to do the drugs, someone had given it to him and told him it was something else and he just got hooked! Everyone is so quick to judge!
I don't think any addict ever chooses to live that life . Unfortunately I believe it chooses us and we are completely powerless in its grasp. There truly are only 2 ways out. Sobriety or death. I'm so lucky to have made it out alive. I have a brain injury to show for it but I'm ALIVE. In all honesty, I probably should have been in the ground. Someone or something was looking out for me. There's no other explanation. I'm so glad your husband is alive and well. If anyone reads this that needs help or you just wanna talk, about anything, no judgment... I'm here for you.
I lost my dad 2 months ago ge was fighting cancer but you know that feeling when you lose someone 😔 they are in a better place I hope
What a rollercoaster of a short comment. As I'm getting older, I'm realizing the true strength required to sober up once the addiction has become muscle memory. Good on you. I hope you're living a happy life.
No disrespect, but I'm curious why you did drugs when you saw it kill your father?
I love how professional and non-judgemental everyone in this video was. They were 100% focused on helping this guy and worrying about the punishment aspect at a later time.
Same. Very impressive.
To me, it seems like the officer was a little too relaxed about delivering the Narcan. Seems like it could have been delivered quicker.
Non judgmental? The disgust is literally oozing from her mannerisms.
@@iKazed oozing? 😂 exaggerating a bit much I’d say. She was cool af
@@iKazed right, concerning people think this is acceptance and a shared dynamic of respect..
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
Good job. Truly good for you.
Awesome! Keep it up. I lost my friend/brother.. sucks. Seeing this was rough
I’m glad you’re still with us Emily.
Congrats🙏🏽
so proud of you
Best thing a cop could say "don't worry about being in trouble, i want to help you"
Well that's what they're doing now in some states, instead of locking then up as criminals they can send them to rehab or something
Its a lie
@@jasonm7973 its either A. Dont let him help and probably die, if not still go to jail. Or B. Go to jail and likely live. Pretty easy choice.
@@jasonm7973 this was obviously an opioid OD and needed narcan. Really good job on the cops end.
@@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.

And most of all, the professionals who saved his life this day ❤
Homie tried to call his mom before overdosing so sad
Sorry momma but i dont think i'll be over for dinner tonight.
And told her "hold on I'm on the phone"
@@Gexps damn
I doubt he called his mom. More like his dealer.
@@ReesesCupsable no he called his mom. The cop said it.
I remember seeing this video and thinking “wow that’s crazy poor guy”. About a month or two later I ended up overdosing at home. Paramedics had arrived when I was already dead for 10min. Another 10min later I came back to life out of nowhere, the paramedics couldn’t believe it. I put my parents through the worst experience of their lives that night and I never regretted anything more. Been clean for 2 months already since that day.
@Restored Jewels Amen!
Hanier 愛 youre stupid for that, dont do it again
@MacTavish smh😭😭
sorry if this is personal but did you see anything while you were dead? how did it feel? x
Keep striving Q
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.
I swear if they had showed this during health class in middle and high school. This will just be enough not to touch any drugs
@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
Yes
“Hold on Im on the phone.” He said to the person on the other end of the phone
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 🥺🥺🥺
Omg 😂😂😂 sorry but that’s too funny
@@vald9127 this video is saddening but that part was funny 😂
my guess is he heard the radio chatter and thought he was on a phone call
That had me so weak
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.
Being a cop today must be awful. People are effed up and crazier than ever
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.
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.❤️
Alot of homeless addicts on the street, once worked in a professional capacity. There is no "type". @@sharonrigs7999
Everyone knows a guy like this, hes not trying to hurt anyone but he needs help. He doesn't deserve violence, he needs help. This officer did great.
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.
Amen!
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.
35 years ago this was me. Clean still today
Congrats on 35 years!

As soon as he told that caller on the phone to hold on he’s on the phone that pretty much summed it up
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
stay with it bud
I'm grateful you're sober. I hope you're at 7 months now!! Please keep it up! YOU ARE WORTH IT!!
Stick with it. I know it's easier said than done . Being sober feels much much better plus you'll actually have a sex drive!
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 😊
That's amazing. My partner is quitting cigarettes by focusing it on nicotine then weaning off that. He's getting his smell back!
Dude is so lucky he got pulled over.... that cop was like his guardian angel...
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
Thankgod they stopped him from killing others and himself.
That cop was someone else guardian angel too
@@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.

Incredibly caring officer here 😂
Dude I noticed the same thing.😮
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
@@user_28373 I n my opinion it does.
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.

You should worry more about him driving and slamming into your family.
@@nickv4073 he’s not going to slam into anybody’s family because he got caught pretty fast, lol

@@nataliegill4656 Really? This video is two years old. You dont think he's out there driving again? Thats very naive of you.
@@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.

She was very professional
@SolQuik pretty sure it was a joke buddy
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.
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.

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.

@@user-zw6jk1ip8w so ,she's not a real hero because she didnt panic, are you qualified enough to give judgement on her actions???
Hearing that breathing was heartbreaking. Hope the kid gets the help he needs. Just remember every addict is a son or a daughter.
I have so much compassion with him and was afraid that he was going to get toasted in the comments, but after reading them, it’s heartwarming to see your support for him. Made me cry… there are still good people in this shitty world.
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.
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

@@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.

Most likely just making things worse for themselves and those close to them.
@@youdoyouplayer8529 Alcohol needs to be banned. It kills almost 3 million people annually around the world.
@@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.

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.

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! 🤗
He seemed like a nice guy. He wasn’t rude or anything, not on purpose.
just people that end on the wrong path
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."
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 I won’t pretend to understand most of it but it was nice to know 👍

@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.
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.

A little but still how low do you need to go to do this
@@thesilentone4024 addiction happens anywhere. Usually from trauma in there childhood and mental health problems and drugs helped reduce feelings. Don’t ever mark someone as a POS or stupid for getting into drugs. It’s not a choice the 2nd and times after that.

I’m clean and make over 135,000$ a year and have my own house,gf,2 cars and so much more and went through the ringer to everything. People like you are so uneducated and ignorant that you have no idea how hard that life really is and how many innocent good people who die off this real devastating disease that is almost impossible to get over especially hard drugs. I got over it and I got everything I wished for when I was in addiction. Clearly you have no clue how hard life can get.

You guys are totally ignoring the severity of this. If your gonna do drugs atleast do them on your own time in your one space. This man was doped up operating a vehical.

Man you hear it when the officer says "he's od-ing" that she's seen this too many times already
It's something they see everyday in some areas heroin is running rampant
@@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
@@Eric12886 sadly...
Ohio is basically heroin capital they urge people to carry narcan with you at all times because people are getting fentanyl with their dope
Same in Dayton. Shit is all over the place here. Fentanyl is killing a lot of people in this town. And state.
I’ve seen patients in the ER not make it in this shape. I’m glad he’s gotten help.❤
Going on 11 yrs without that shit. The greatest feeling was looking into my daughter's eyes knowing she wouldn't have to see any of that shit like I did. I decided to break the cycle in my family, and I haven't looked back since. I'm a single dad now, and wouldn't change anything. That's one thing that's really cool is not regretting any of the horrible crap I went through because had one little thing been different I wouldn't have my amazing kid, and dogs, or money saved up. I hope this guy finds his reason. Unfortunately, living that life leaves a person with only two options. You can either end up dead, or in prison. There is no other option. You cannot live a successful, long-living, crime free lifestyle as a drug addict. Not even the wealthy can. No one is immune. (Btw, to anyone who od's on heroin. If the cops bring you back with narcan you were using heroin, so stop trying to deny it. You sound like an idiot. Just admit what they already know & let them try to help you please.)
God Bless! Stay clean… ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
idk man growing up with 1 parent will be tough for ur daughter
“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.
Nice to hear no negative words and showing him compassion, it's not hard.
Absolutely fantastic the level of care.God bless you & happy he is now living a happy life ,with his wonderful family 🙏🏻
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
"Hold on, one moment I'm on the phone"
*He calmy told the other person on the phone*
I know, that part made me crack up. 😆 It’s so sad, though!
I was looking for this comment 😂
The funny thing is he heard the cops radio and thought someone was on his phone lol
I was hoping someone else noticed that
@@cristianaguilar247 same! lol
You can tell she’s annoyed cause this is a daily thing but she’s still helping best she can!!! And that’s genuine
As someone who has overdosed to many times to count i feel this persons pain and it saddens me. I hope they got the help they needed
I’m glad they showed this in its entirety. Maybe help someone else.
Need an ATA type vid for stuff like this but for the medical side of this, Be a great lessen for any EMT or Para.
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.
True I have to agree it’s sad but it will help the lost ones!
@@rs72098 hey man some people go through shit and make bad choices
@@rs72098 He really needs to get help, more than jail time.
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
Bless him, I hope he is okay, addiction is a terrifying disease
Truly incredible. This officer saved his life and countless otthers on that road. What an amazing role she played. I’ve watched so many of these videos and it’s crazy to think these drivers would have just died without their help.
Ugh. That feeling of coming out of an OD, the icy feeling going through your veins. The cloudiness in your head. Scared and confusion. Embarrassment. So glad I'm over all that. Hope he's doing well.
Hope you are alright brother. Sorry that I ask but what do you mean by icy veins
what’s icy veins?
@@katemarsh7131
It's a side effect feeling of getting narcan'd. Like you can feel it in your veins. It literally feels like ice cubes. And if you are a daily user addicted, about 30 seconds after waking up, you are thrown instantly into withdrawal. You are puking and getting diaharrea.
@@zilla9170
I am, thank you. I'm closing in on 15 months clean.
@@jef9635 nice bro keep goin you got this
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
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 :)
~ 2023 ~ First time watching this and can I just say this officer EXEMPLIFIES the motto *"To Protect and Serve"*? Her approach, tone and conduct with this guy, and throughout the entire incident, was not just professional...it was kind. She was respectful even as she was briefing the responding coming on scene, never once belittling him or talking sarcastically in her run-through. I hope she never loses that disposition and that years of service doesn't harden her or change the character she displayed on this call.
The luckiest DUI one could’ve gotten. It literally saved his life
And others too, because that imbecile would have OD driving and would have probably killed somebody else.
@@joseluki but he didn't so shut up
Or did he snort all of his China white after he saw the lights?
On the other hand the experience probably spiked his blood pressure and made him go OD
@@LightoftheWest7 good point
Bless this police officer for pulling him over, she saved his life. He's only 23, I hope he found sobriety.

I am so lucky and blessed that I never had to experience this. Over 3 1/2 years sober and I can’t believe it’s been that long. I hope everyone who commented their sobriety length is still going at it strong❤️

@@bohkhuj9247 HELL YEAH!! Life is way too good now to give up! Hope you are doing well and good luck on your journey!!!
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.
Its sad how calm she is. She sees this all the time. Just another day for her. That mans lucky she stopped him
@@itsofficialb ok?
Part of the job is remaining level headed. I’m still a little fucked up from things I reacted calm af to.
Its impressive, very professional and able to function efficiently under massive stress.
I think she did an amazing job. If seeing someone in distress caused her to start freaking out how would that have saved his life and possibly others he might've crashed into? I'm glad he was able to pull over and so thankfully this officer did her job by saving his life. I hope he got help.
I was just thinking that she handles that urgent situation very calmly. Friend of mine is a cop and he sees the most fucked up shit consistently. Understandable but still admirable.
The officer was really good with him. I'm so happy to hear he's in recovery. That means so much. A lot of addicts are good people we just don't no how to ask for help and receive it. I myself is a recovering addict. I've been clean from Xanax 11 yrs. Praying for your brother 🙏
Proud of you! ❤
She saved that man’s life. Bless her soul ❤
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.
@@sox7775 same here. Was addicted 10 years. Been clean almost 5 now.
@@bpwn3r Cool I'm around the same as u
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
For those who say that the lady was laughing, be aware that that is normal because that is a way to cope it is a natural coping condition.it’s called nervous laughter.
THIS i laugh in very stressful and traumatic moments
Totally do that
I have done that. I embarrassed myself.
It’s plain unprofessional. Stop making excuses for crap cops.
@@pippylongstockings8600 I really don't see how she was a "crap cop" here lmfao I've seen crap cops this isn't one
Cop-haters need to know that the Police do this every day in drug-infected areas. God bless them and keep them safe, because they go into buildings where every person is an addict, and every person packs at least one gun.
I don’t think drug addicts carry around guns.. let alone afford one
Most addicts dont have guns, they sell everything they own for drugs.
So glad this young man made it and is doing well. Prayers for him and his family 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
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
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
I don’t even drive my car when I’m high on pot. Talk about a waste of whatever he’s on.
I hope you found help brother, I’ve been in that exact same position. Happy that night happened the way it did, it could have been a lot worse
she treat him like a person, very professional
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.

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
It really warms my heart to see the overwhelming support in the comments. Addiction is an awful disease. One that I suffer from, and many people I know do as well. I’m glad to hear this guy got help.
The number of people that guy could have killed being behind the wheel. Unreal. Our cops don’t get paid enough.
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.

Good work officer and everybody involved! Hope this boy gets his life together.
As a recovering heroin addict with almost 3 years sober, seeing this breaks my heart. I hope the fella found the rooms of NA..
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!
You're amazing! Congratulations on your 3 years being sober 🙂
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
