Derrick is one very lucky fella. That’s exactly the kind of non-compliance that can lead to extreme pb intervention.
No, he wasn’t loaded with a fatal dose of Fentanyl, with a dosing of meth on top of it.
Neither did he have a weapon that he threatened police with nor did he attempt to fight, with or without a weapon, with them. He was safe from your made up line of BS.
