… On one day recently, CNN watched as task force members arrested a suspected drug dealer accused of selling meth and fentanyl. Inside a plastic bag: 33 grams of fentanyl that CHP officer Andy Barclay estimates, at its worst, could potentially kill thousands of people.
    “We’re looking at around 16,500 fatal doses of pure fentanyl in that small bag. Yes, 16,500 people could potentially die,” Barclay said.…

    I’ve seen this before — stick a microphone in a policeman’s face after a fentanyl bust, and they’ll claim they’ve prevented thousands of imaginary deaths.
    There was one report after a raid some months back where a cop said they’d prevented half a million deaths.
    It’s all bullshit, like the War on Drugs hysteria always is.
    Thanks for the laughs, Officer Andy.
