- We have a heroin epidemic on our hands. And police can't arrest their way out of it. Here is the alternative.
What an eye-opening experience to ride along with Everett's 'Community Outreach and Enforcement Team'.
They're confronting users with compassion, and finding them treatment, instead of jail.

I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
"He died doing what he loved" would be a really awkward statement on a drug addict funeral.
chafik souna lmao but the truest at the same time. “He lived by the needle n died by the needle”
🤣
Lmfao
everything is awkard even in your own funeral,you think you gonna live for ever hah?or some years more are worthing more?nope every life has its value no matter how we fell or others fell about us...
Would it be wrong tho?
Drug abusers don’t need jail, they need rehabilitation. True hero. My respect.
In glad u said drug abusers and not drug users.
Everyone is different and need to be treated as such
the issue is when they don't want it. and also cant afford their habit.
@Casimir V that’s not for you to decide
@Dan Trebune that is a proven awfully small portion of the homeless population in the U.S. alone. single digit percentage low.
“They don’t feel the high it just keeps them from getting sick” may be one of the saddest things I’ve heard in a while. These cops that help people out are truly a gift to humanity.
Its what addiction really is
Are they helping or enabling?

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporesss
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.Kudos to these officers for a great job. I pray they all get the help they deserve somtimes. Be Human to the fullest 👍
Overcoming the power of addiction is no easy achievement. Every day can be a struggle against inner turmoil and outside pressures, exerting influence on you.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well

@@arielh2695 I was homeless for three years and camped in the woods near other homeless, addicts and not.

Keep up the good work. Keep doing it
@@lagrangiankid378 Meth & heroin
Keep up the good work my friend, proud of you!!!❤️
I was also addicted to meth & heroin, but I was just a junkie in general since I was 13. I’d take whatever I could get/find. I’m 23 now. I’ll be 2 yrs sober in July!
I’m 21 too. You’re a hero man. Keep going. 6 months here
meanwhile I've been arrested for marijuana
Same
Then you should have moved to a state where it's legal or put the herb down. Not that complicated.
Jen Lee you realize it hasn’t been legal in those states for ever right? Only for the last few years
Too bad. Fool
I was arrested for a roach. Hopefully marijuana will be legal everywhere soon and that should free up prison cells for violent criminals. The tax revenue from legal marijuana sales could be used for rehab of non-violent hard core drug users, they are still human beings and deserve another chance.
*cops* see heroin user with heroin "you need help, let me help you." *cops* see teen smoking a joint "you're under arrest"
Joshua Reyna This is a dumb and insensitive comment

Joshua Reyna well thye wouldn’t be doing drugs if they wanna be a doctor
The hardest part of sobriety is leaving your past behind and having to live with the reality of responsibility and emotions you’ve never had to fully handle before. Drugs cure all of that, so to have to fight through the struggle with no crutch can be daunting and paralyzing, especially when all your “friends” are left at the doorstep while you take that front step into a new beginning. Life is a mixture of love and hate, and to assume it’s all sunshine and good and to blatantly misunderstand why people do what they do is complete willful ignorance.
Agreed. It helps to realize that human beings are meant to struggle. It's a natural healthy part of life that allows one to grow and achieve more
that girl police officer that doesn't wear a uniform is truly amazing at that job. The empathy pours out of her, it's very inspirational.
My brother was hooked on this crap back in his early twenties. He got 'scared straight' tho. He was on the south side of Chicago buying heroin when he got busted by a narco-cop. He had a gun jammed in his face and then spend 2 days in cook county jail. He went clean the moment he got home. I still remember him going cold-turkey in the basement.
THis year marks 25 years clean for him. All the "friends" he used to party with didn't quit and my brother has outlived them all at 47. I'm very proud of him.
You probably should be proud of you and your family too. Without that support it is nearly impossible to get clean from those addictions. Congrats to both of you
Unfortunately a lot of us go back out to get hit in the head with hammers repeatedly and never learn. Your brother was lucky. If it’s even true.
He is blessed to have gotten off when He did because fentanyl is killing many addicts it is in everything and many prefer, it 50/50 chance ,life or death

All nonviolent drug users should be sent to a federal rehab facility instead of jail.
And this one time, at heroin camp..
😭🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

"I'm on a waiting list. It's not as easy as they make it seem." That's the problem right there. We need more of that. More prevention, more therapy, more help. Less criminalization.
my thoughts exactly. incriminating these people are just going to send them to a downward spiral and make the drug consumption even worse.
Don’t start in the first place!
@@tammysvlogs2293 That doesn’t help.. at all.
And its death sentence for those who had any relations to drugs in some countries
which really isnt solving the issue
@@tammysvlogs2293 lmfao there are many reasons why addicts start using, and not all of them are as easy to turn away as “don’t do it in the first place” most people are already in a low place before they start using and that’s why we need better treatments and preventative and rehab programs that help instead of arresting people who already are at rock bottom
Arresting people in their "war on drugs" doesn't work. Period. Arrest the dealer maybe, but stop punishing the user.
@flagellaman400 1 At the end of the day, isn't it that persons choice if they want to destroy themselves as long as they aren't selling it to others?
You sound really stupid if you don’t punish the user they are gonna keep doing it and get addicted and plus they are the ones that went to the dealer you act like the dealer had them at gun point and made them buy drugs from him think with your head dude
@@justingomez9635 I'm just saying dude statistically arresting addicts doesn't help the addict or help with the war on drugs. If people want to use then let them use I say. If we really want to win this "war on drugs" then we need to stop focusing on arresting low level street offenders and going after much much bigger fish. Other countries like Canada and Switzerland are taking entirely new approaches that actually work for the user and law enforcement. Switzerland for example offers pharmaceutical grade heroin to users in clinics that they can use every day 3 times a day. It's cheap for the government and crime rates went down HUGE because the users didn't have to steal or commit crimes to fund their addiction. The American way always seems to be the hardest way. Why is that? Our public grade treatment facilities are a joke and under funded. The only ones who stand a chance to get sober are the lucky few who can afford high class detox treatment or have very good health insurance. I'm an addict. Trust me bro because I've been there. More money goes into law enforcement than it does treatment. It's all a recipe for failure.
The truth is, we are battling a war we've already lost. They can arrest and convict the biggest dealer in their area and there's always another dealer waiting to take his or her place. It's IMPOSSIBLE to take all the drugs off the streets, the drug cartels are in different countries and just have too much power. So in reality it's not a war at all. Kinda like I said, we can lessen it slightly, but we can never fully win the war. People getting high off their pain pills is abusing drugs. What are we supposed to do with the people who really are in pain? Tell them no and to deal with it? We can't do that. The more the DEA tightens down the more drugs slip through their fingers and just make street dealers a LOT more money. It's simple supply and demand. Tighten the prescription drug laws, people will turn to heroin because that's how more than 80% of heroin addicts started. Make the pills harder to get, the street dealers just raise the prices, crime rates will skyrocket, and only make the dealers and cartels richer. Wake up America. It's over. Look into the stats of what they're doing in Canada and Switzerland for example. Providing medical grade heroin to users 3X a day in safe sterile clinics. It's cheap, cost effective, and it WORKS.
I agree as long as they aren't recruiting other people to get addicted and are only harming themselves then that's their choice and they need to stop over crowding our jails and prisons for such minor offenses. In some states possession of ANY amount of marijuana is a felony. That's just ridiculous. Mostly southern states. Coincidence?
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again again but it’s just so hard to source out of there.

My son is a massive heroin addict....for the past 4 years my life has been a living nightmare and his a living hell.....treatment...detox...jail...over and over and over again...he has stolen...lied ...manipulated..abused...ruined every family and friend relationship he has had...can't hold a job let alone pass pee test....I have screamed..yelled..cried...begged..pleaded...tough loved..ignored...embraced..accepted...loved..enabled..prayed and prayed and prayed everyday....my life is consumed with his addiction....but as his mom I can't and won't give up on him...but I see no end to this disease.
So sad don’t ever blame yourself momma sounds like you have put 150% into your son and nothing is giving. I myself Im a recovering addict, and it’s the most selfish freaking thing that addicts can do to our own family’s But momma, his best place is jail. That is what I was told by my own momma that I was either going to die or prison! It was pretty sad thinking back on it sometimes she would ask me questions like, “Ashlie, what do you want to wear on your funeral day and do you want to be buried or cremated?” She would Ball her eyes out when she would ask me... Dang makes me tear up when I think about it. But I promise you momma if he were to get arrested he would probably get put on probation and have to be court ordered to go to a rehab facility. I know it sounds crazy to have to do to your OWN kid but it might just save his life... your beautiful momma stay up and pray. God blesses you. Ashlie B.
Ashcheecks...thank you for your kind words and encouragment....unfortunately my son has done a few stints in jail but still goes right back to his old habits...i pray one day he will hit his rock bottom and begin to live again. I love my son so much but he doesn't love himself...it's a vicious cycle. I want to tell you how proud I am of you!! I know everyday must be a struggle...it took tons of courage and strength to get where you are today..and you are winning the battle with this terrible disease of drug addiction... always believe in yourself...you have a beautiful life ahead of you...❤

Because the system is corrupt.

Usually I'm the one criticizing police but this time I'll give credit where it's due. This is what should be happening in this country instead of criminalization of drugs. As someone who has worked with addicts in a recovery program I can say from experience that most people who become addicted to drugs don't start using simply because it was something fun to do. 90% of them have a dark life story to tell full of traumatic experiences and mental health issues. Compassion is the best tool.

Oh gosh, this “we will get you on a housing list” is just a cartoon for the cameras. These people want to be trespassing and get high. That is their goal.

Portugal is an world wide example on how they manage this situations. It is not legal to sell drugs in Portugal but its not Ilegal to be a drug addict. Instead the gov build several local teams to go and suppor these guys, providing clean needles and psicologic support to try to get them off drugs (guess what? none of those members are police officers). I can't understand why we keep putting people to jail for consuming when in reality all they need is help. Dealers should be the ones who get targeted
This is honestly heartwarming

My little sister is heroin addict for the last 10 plus years. Prior was pills until she couldn’t afford them. She is now homeless and living on the streets under I10. She refuses to get clean even after three times overdosing. She lost her two daughters because of her drug addiction. Third child was adopted at birth. I have brought her to rehab several years ago and she left after less than one hour. I just wait for that call again. She is 42 years old but looks like she well over 60 years old. She has never apologized for her wrong doings when she was clean for few years. But that was 18 years ago. Crazy that she doesn’t want to stop to me. She has hit rock bottom at this point. These cops are extremely kind trying to help people.
Clean and sober since March 12 2003. Thank god!!

so proud of you!! I know it’s so difficult❤️
Wow youve been sober since 2 months after I was born. Crazy
congrats! you’ve came so far 😃
Ah, the same day I was born! ^^
From a 14 year old kid whose father passed away from heroin, please if you have kids or not get help it really pains family and kids to see and go through this.
I hope you are doing ok bro, I’m sorry you had to go through that
@@calebsbeats17999 Thank you ,no hard feelings but I dont want people to suck up to me I just want to spread awareness really
Lol
@@owenschmidt2317 what's with the "lol"
@@owenschmidt2317 idiot
What an amazing woman. Hope these folks find the courage to get clean some day, takes more than most will ever have to muster up in their life.
I’ve known people who have lost loved ones to drug abuse, so seeing this stuff genuinely hurts me. The fact that good people with potential to go far are willing to throw their lives away is tragic.
I like how this city is trying to help the problem instead of just throwing every one in jail witch never helps any thing. hope it works out for the good so they can implement this strategy in every city and state in America
either someone in a gov. position is pushing it to the people .. or someone tipped off the judge .. you can bet they are making their money somehow.
Yeah now what will this city do for all the black people who were arrested for crack and heroin that are still in jail today
Emilee Gourdet the city isn't racist, you are.
Except that going to jail helped someone they talked about in this very video lol
you actually believe that they are not throwing them in jail because of compassion?? the real reason they don't lock everyone up is if they did.....we would need more jails and prisons. these people will never pay court costs or fines or lawyers. see where I'm going with this. I'm not saying cops are bad bla bla bla. just wanted to point out the real motivation.
I applaud these people for not turning their backs on addicts, as a struggling one, this warms my heart
@@CZcams_Account8714 it's not fair to ask people that geez it's a process
Hey Jesus hope you doing well buddy
@Banned4life88 not even how it works
You can do this friend God loves you and I love you . Never forget your worth as much if not more to the clean folk. Keep fighting bro I love you
@Banned4life88 oh yeah that's totally helpful. Quality advice 🙄
@@chloelawrence3394 it’s the best advice anyone can give. NOT doing drugs is the correct thing to do.

My friend left my house for Baltimore to score, I went w him because I had a feeling something bad was going to happen - I drove. We picked up his guy that knew where the places were, every stop we made he was saying people weren't selling it was too hot w cops... My friend refused to take the L, we were at a gas station when he asked some randoms. His inhaler fell out and they took it, I told my friend he should be okay until we get back to my house and he can have one of my grandma's he didn't listen. He ran out of the car, I told him what am I supposed to do... He said leave then. Some guys at the gas station were asking how much I was, and surrounding my car so I left that area for a second and couldn't find him again, but I knew I couldn't leave. . He called me he was completely fucked up. He was telling me he had been stabbed and was feeling blood down his leg. I drove around from midnight till 330am and luckily pulled up on a corner store And I saw my friend through the window. I got him in my car he was so relieved. I couldn't keep him awake the whole ride home, takes about an hour, once we reached my house he was unresponsive. I told my dad and he tried getting his limp lifeless body out of the car and called 911 (my dad's a volunteer firefighter) I didn't know if he'd survive or if it would even matter to him... He's sober now. He has at least 2 kids and we're still friends
you drove an hour away to call 911? This story is cute but made up af
People arrested for a gram of pot: 👁️👄👁️
I am about to go to jail for 4 months because of it. First two times (which was 10 years ago) I only got a ticket. A year ago I was caught smoking by a undercover officer in a park. The day after, they busted my appartement and found 12 grams. They wanted to put me in jail for 6 months, but I got it reduced to 4. I am going to lose my job because of this
@@MrTelorix bro, i wish the Best for you
@@antalmilan2242 Thanks a lot!
@@MrTelorix thats really awful, stay strong man 🙏
@@MrTelorix idk why addiction exists, I mean... just stop.
I'm 2 years sober and have turned my life around. For anyone struggling keep pushing.
Congratulations on your 2 years.
I'm glad for you, keep it up. Even if it feels like no one cares. There is always gonna be some people on the internet caring
Hope you're still doing well. Keep the fight up EVERY DAY
Proud of ya!
Right now I’m tryin to get off.... again. I’ve done it before and gone a long time before reaching out and messing around with the wrong person again and just can’t figure what the heck is makin me keep goin back when I know there ain’t nothing but misery in that place.. I got exactly one suboxen and it’s been about 18 hours since my actual high. Like 8 hours since my last hit. And not lookin forward to the next few days. Seeing all these people supporting folks who are struggling makes me really wanna change for the better.
Had a friend who passed away from this stuff at 30. He was such a good guy, and got clean and relapsed. Loved hanging out with him, I always tried to look past the drug use but I was always very firm with him. I used to say "I am not a baby sitter so if you OD I am gonna drag you onto the middle of the road and I hope someone pulls over for you". I didn't use any drugs so I didn't see why I should have to deal with the issues associated but in all honesty I would never have done that. I would have called an ambulance straight away. I just didn't want him to take too much.
It's really sad because essentially that is exactly how he died.
His "Junkie friends" took everything he had on him while he was ODing rather than call an ambulance. Now he is just a plaque on a wall.
Watching his mother try to put a sentence together at his funeral was gut wrenching.
RIP Bronson.
Im 2 years sober off of heroin. This kind of help would have done wonders for me. These people do help.
Thats cool. Made me cry a little. Clean since 2012. Ill never go back. This used to be me.
Great to hear! How are you doing lately?
Me too!! Way to go!!
Congrats, that's awesome!
Good for you!
Congrats.
For this cop to "knock" on tents and show respect to people's privacy toward locked tents is huge. What a good cop
It's not huge, it should be normal. Sadly this is not common amongst cops
@@3-methylindole730 it is huge. Many people dont have the decency to be that thoughtful. You must not get out much
@@alm5851 he’s not wrong saying that it should be normal among LEOs. They’re supposed to be the standard of the community
@@KakuzuofNorth I still don’t understand what’s wrong with saying someone did a good job lol. “That’s how everybody should act” well it’s not how everybody acts, I don’t understand people like you if that’s how everybody should act then why are you acting stupid?
@@3-methylindole730 whilst that's true, when we really hype up even small changes, as long as we make it clear that is not all that needs to be done, it is really encouraging, and much more conducive to change.
When they were born they were adorable little babies .. loved by their parents ..
They never thought they would end up in situations like that one day
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD BLESS THEM WITH YOUR POWER 🙏🙏🙏
This is so heartbreaking.
So glad I’ve been clean for 28 years now
This was taken 29 years ago
You look great
Ramsés Amadeus thanks chap!
Lol this nigga still on crack
💛
Those dogs look so sad because they can feel their owners pain 😢. Godbless them for sticking around hoping their owner will get better one day.
whats the dog supposed to do 😂😂
More like hate living on streets freezing and hungry why sad and why they ended up with that life style how that fair for dog
@@allylou5151 oh its not fair for the dog at all . What I meant was it just shows how amazing dogs are that despite the horrible conditions its still there because of unconditional love. The situation is fucked and the dog deff deserves better
@@allylou5151 and I mean dogs and humans are generally partners the dog ain't just finna take off lmao
What a great cop and social worker need more like that
This is quiet depressing, yet quite inspiring too
I remember being addicted to opiates. Worst type of drug imaginable. Truly takes over your entire life.
Opiates are pain killers my friend. Heroin, fentanyl, pain killers. Those are opiates.
Oh weed is actually somewhat good for you. It has a lot of benefits that out weigh the bad. Opiates are extremely addictive and they can kill you easily.
@@LL-hf7kv i still wouldnt do weed.
@@rolo8950 are you also familiar to Kratom?
@@Diandra- Kratom is very addictive as well, but the least harmful opioid you can take imo.
I’ve been clean for almost 5 years now. And I can honestly say that i wish I had people who actually cared about my well-being like that. I really hope they try and turn their lives around.
@General Morgunov lmao okay Soviet man. I mean everyone thinks the same about your country so it’s all good right?
Congratulations on your recovery.
bro im suffring from same problem .. wat i do
@@lovejotsunny3479 Ask for help, what I would do is go to a hospital and ask for help. You will be probably referred to a rehab center and you will at least the the option to start. Good luck and just know a stranger does care!
@@lovejotsunny3479 If you really want to quit and just aren't forced to quit then do what Whizkoo said, if not, find a valid reason for YOU to quit
I used to volunteer for a homeless shelter in Tulsa. And they amount of time it took for them to get help was amazing. A guy got his laundry order rushed and they said the next available date to wash would be two weeks from then. No employment. No real help. It's sad to see actual workers go to work there and get paid to do nothing.
Oh man, when I heard Everett I felt my heart drop. I served a mission up in the PNW. Lovely area, but I heard daily about something involving heroin. Told not to go down X street or over to John Doe's house because of heroin usage/traps.
" It's not as easy as they make it seem"
Truer words have never been spoken.......
@Maxx Marino yea,but it like masturbate or smh fun like smoking
"Its not that easy"was the perfect sentence
shut up overrated words have nvr been spoken
Everybody saying that, shut up, love
As one of the many who have lost someone close to heroin addiction I hope for this situation to get better
I have to and I’m sorry for anybody who has lost anyone to this issue
I never lost anyone for drugs, a friend or relative.. seems like you need to reevaluate your surroundings
AL MAYYAHI I understand but I don't surround myself around those things even though it may have assumed that way! Just a sad story about a friend trying to hide his addiction and pushing away from his friends and family until it cost him his life
Nanners Thank you❤️😔🙏🏽
No one forces them to use drugs in the first place...
This is how it's done. This is the answer. Beautiful job by this officer and his team
I hear them when they say that the waiting is hard and that their info gets lost. I feel for these people, it breaks my heart.
i lost my mother when i was young because of heroin, i wish she would have gotten the chance that you guys are giving these people
i’m so sorry :(
I am sorry my friend, wishing you the best
@daval husen that's terrible dude I'm sorry
gotta be careful here, half the people would say your mom earned her consequences. my condolences
@@user-dm8sh8ut5l sure, no one has ever said that EVER. Thank you for enlightening me. wow. We can still learn. wow.
“I don’t think it’s ever hopeless” Made me tear up. My brother is an addict and I try so hard to be there for him and not give up but he has 10million balls in his court and not even trying to hit a return (the ball is in your court reference). I won’t ever give up on him though because I know he is an amazing person and going through a terrible time, something I can’t even imagine. Hug your loved ones and don’t hesitate to give people your smile !
Cant hit a home run unless you step up to the plate first. (baseball reference)
@@nate0187dogg1 Yes exactly! & Sadly we were throwing balls at him expecting a hit when he wasn’t even at the plate
I hear you. I have seen a lot of it too. It sucks to see 😪
wish my sister was like you. i'm an addict that's been on and off the stuff over the past 15 years and my sister won't even speak to me
@@axlrozes1777 Hey man, if you ever need to talk, comment on one of my videos. I check notifications regularly and hardly ever ignore replies. I know how tough it must be to not have anyone (assuming you don't), so I'll be here for you so long as you want it. Anyways, peace my guy.
"its not as easy as they make it seem" my dads a drug addict, hes tried rehab three times and has given up. those words cant be more true
Thank you for the video, very informative. Found it out of nowhere!
When people talk about police reform these are usually the type of things theyre referring to. Great work by the officers
We need to quit treating addiction like a crime so these people can get the actual help that they need.
@@rc59191 you wouldnt need to “help” prople against their will if the recreational use of drugs were legal and in supervision… “war on drugs” made these people like this period.
off topic but lol I love Person Pitch
@@turquoisehexagonsun6922 Always relevant
@Aaron Trutt hey I know you think their life is glamorous but the consequences are already there... They need help now. POS
I once got in trouble at school for bringing my diabetes insulin injections to school with me (I need them before I have lunch) and a teacher was snooping through my bag when they found my injections and she screamed because she thought they were drug needles. All the kids in my class stopped talking to me... my parents got so mad at her when she called them.
Isn't it illegal for your teacher to go through your belongings?
pingasblobfish97 yep
pingasblobfish97 Nope
MyName Jeff yes it is except under certain circumstances
Wow that’s so fucked
It gets pounded into our brains when we're kids that drugs are bad for you and the consequences of addiction, yet there's still people doing them. I have no sympathy for idiots.
Lmao this is one of the worst takes I've ever heard
Seeing those young people just lost in the woods, that made me cry hard. You can tell they all don’t want to be in that situation.
Officer davis used to be the police guard at my high school and moved up the stairs! Now i see he is still doing great things in this city!! I love you officer davis & thank you for doing great things & continuing to do so. This video might be old but i dont doubt he is still doing great things!!!!
No mames
He sounds like a great guy.
Oop
Love this comment and yes he definitely seems to be a Blessing 💙
Praise good cops
God bless these people and cops actually trying to help these addicts. No point in tossing them in jail unless they hurt someone
The law is retarded.
The Fatty McGee yup and that’s true but let’s apply that to all aspects of the law and drugs.
Happy to hear this!! You got this!
Where do you think they're getting the money to buy drugs? I live in the Greater Seattle area. I see these people shop lifting, breaking into cars, and mugging others for drug money. Almost every public park is covered in drug paraphernalia, human waste, and garbage.
Of course you can't there white
Wow. 💔 I have no words actually...this is unbelievable.
Today most of the heroin on the streets is cut with Fentanyl which is way stronger and more deadly. It’s a huge problem in the U.S.
Glad to see everyone treated with compassion and support. Everyone has their lowest times but looking down on them never for it is not the solution.
It's hard not to look down on people who live UNDER a bridge.
misguided humor, clodn't help it, sry.
THE Black Chicken Drugs have been illegal since 1970, but I can buy any drug, in 15 minutes
Respect is neccesairy here, its an epidemic that is clearly gotten out of hand and is clearly led to this by the ease of getting the strongest painkillers for the smallest reasons
Yeah until they rob YOU...
Yea but blacks didn’t get this same kind of compassion
My cousin passed away in September from a heroin overdose and she was left inside a tent for 3 days until someone found her, I’m glad these people are getting the help they need. Sucks man.
Peace with you and your family during this time 🙏
How tragic. God bless her family
I’m so sorry..
haha
