Ohio sheriff says his officers won't carry Narcan

An Ohio sheriff says administering Narcan to people who repeatedly overdose is 'sucking the taxpayers dry.'
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

Ohio Sheriff says its “sucking the taxpayers dry."...At $40/dose. So much for the pro-life party.

www.businessinsider.com

Overdose calls are rising, but some police in Indiana and Texas have been banned from giving a 'life-saving' drug

One Indiana police department suspended naloxone use, while a Texas police department refused to accept a donation of the lifesaving drug.

Some wont even accept it when its donated to them for free.

Article on Sheriff Jones is a bit dated, from 2017. He has also been a strong advocate on removing illegal migrants in Butler County but that population can easily reside in Hamilton County to the south, Hamilton County is very blue now.

Florida Republicans are notorious for letting people die, it's like a sport to them...."Prisoners started dying at record levels with death rates increasing from 35 to 40 a year to over 400 a year...."


"...That contract is a “cost-plus” model, which “does not encourage efficiency and appears to be the most expensive service delivery model".....This is from the REPUBLICAN legislature's own audit.

Gov. Rick Scott, the same one who oversaw the largest Medicare/Medicaid Insurance fraud in American history. Demanded that FL prison healthcare be privatized, despite ample evidence that it would not work. Surprise, Surprise, a fellow healthcare CEO who was Scott's friend got the contract. They eventually walked away from the contract because it did not work out.

Despite Privatization, Prison Health Costs Continue To Rise

As a candidate, Gov. Rick Scott pitched the idea of having private companies provide health care to the state's prisoners in a plan to save taxpayers $1...

Go search about the lady that had a C-section in prison and was denied pain meds, fun stuff.

In the end it actually cost the Taxpayers MORE money because of how screwed up things were done.

My other post was from 2020, but if you want newer ones, here's two from 2022. Looks like after 5 years the same sheriff was still against it.

Quite the monumental shift in goal posts there. I love how its the death penalty for anyone in prison who's unlucky enough to get sick and need medical care...from the "pro-life" party none-the-less.

And for all you AH members living in Texas, I'll just leave this one here for you to peruse if you dare read some truth...So much free healthcare for prisoners @wesheltonj , I bet they just love being broiled to death.

Provision of Air Conditioning and Heat-Related Mortality in Texas Prisons - PubMed

This study found an average of 14 deaths per year between 2001 to 2019 were associated with heat in Texas prisons without AC vs no deaths associated with heat in prisons with AC. Adopting an AC policy in Texas prisons may be important for protecting the health of one of our most vulnerable...
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

700 more deaths in no-AC prisons versus AC prisons, at least 271 directly attributable over an 18 year period. But hey, as @deewayne2003 put it..."it's mostly prisoners"..... so who cares, right?

So you have personally heard it none. Just heard it from 2 articles that are over 6 years old in which the one sheriff says they have given it to someone over 20 times.

You original quote was how many times you have heard cops boasting about not carrying it.

It’s prison, not the Hilton. That said, Texas is starting to A/C some prisons. Rather old news about no A/C. While granted it did take a federal lawsuit to get the A/C. Prisons in Texas have never been Club Fed.

The folks who have been it time out before, generally want to stay in jail for as long possible particularly in the summer, but they will catch that chain sooner or later.

The Sheriff of Butler County is in Ohio, not Rhode Island.
You are insufferable. A perpetual poster of garbage on this forum.

I have a 26 gallon tank and it was about a quarter full when I stopped for gas an hour ago.

Is it possible the reason someone could be pro life and pro death penalty is that unborn children are innocent where as criminals have been convicted of a crime? I’m pretty sure the math maths on that statement but then I’m not a liberal so obviously I’m uneducated and need a bunch of obscure articles quoted at me to show me how common sense doesn’t make sense.
 
No use talking to or debating those who are all in for abortion. Equivocation is one of their common tools- like using the death penalty for comparison or calling abortion a critical form of health care for women. Nope, no use debating such deluded insanity.

He is using "pro life" as a distraction because he got caught telling a lie. He has never personally heard a cop bragging about not carry narcan.

I whole heartedly agree with you and that’s how the math plays out for me too, what strikes me as odd is how pro abortion people can end a life that has had no chance to make a decision while at the same time believe there is no reason on earth to take the life of someone that has made the decision to willfully commit hideous crimes.
 
163 days ago this morning Brig. Gen. Evander Law’s brigade of Alabama Infantry completed a forced march that began at 3am and immediately formed into lines of battle against a determined and equally matched Union Force commanded by the capable and gallant Col. Strong Vincent.

The following is the only and very late report of Brigadier General Law, filed years after the most bloody battle in American history:

“Laws essay, “The Struggle for ‘Round Top,’” detailed the second and third days of the fight on the right. He laid blame squarely on the shoulders of the overall commander: “General Lee failed at Gettysburg on the 2d and 3d of July because he made his attack precisely where his enemy wanted him to make it and was most fully prepared to receive it. Even had he succeeded in driving the Federal army from its strong position by a general and simultaneous assault along the whole front (which was the only possible chance of success in that direction), he would have found his army in very much the same condition in which Pyrrhus found his, when, after driving the Romans from the field of Asculum, he exclaimed, ‘Another such victory, and I am undone!’”

Going into this Independence Day holiday weekend, it is not lost on me (as both a Pennsylvania native and a now proud resident of Alabama) the courage and valor of the veterans of that bloody day on both sides of the line, that gave everything for my families comfort.

Assume this was 163 years ago, not days. Very interesting though, thanks!

A member of my family, BG William Barksdale commanded a brigade of McLaw's Division, Longstreet's Corps. On the second day of the battle his brigade made what a union colonel at the time proclaimed and many historians subsequently agree "was the grandest charge that was ever made by mortal man." His brigade shattered Humphry's Division at the Peach Orchard which led to the collapse of Sickles' Third Corps. As was often the case for the Army of Northern Virginia, for want of another division to exploit the breakthrough, the battle could, probably should have ended in Confederate victory that evening. Barksdale fell mortally wounded at the Peach Orchard at the culminating point of the attack. The brigade suffered nearly 50% casualties.

One of my proudest possessions is a model 1863 Richmond rifled musket with which his regiments were equipped shortly before the start of the Pennsylvania campaign.

The courage of both sides in that war is why the campaign streamers of those battles which include Southern victories like Chancellorsville as well as Northern triumphs like Gettysburg are blue and gray - something that somehow survived the woke purge under Biden.

What the nation hating woke left is incapable of understanding is that I am as proud of his service as I am my grandfather who was an artilleryman in WWI, my father who flew nearly eighty missions over Burma and survived being shot down twice in WWII, and my own three decades of service to this country. I have no patience with the sniveling parasitic multitude whose only service has been to extend their hands out begging for more while trying to cancel my history.

These two prints by Don Troiani - Barksdales Charge and the Texas Brigade's assault through the cornfield at Sharpsburg proudly hang in my home.

Troiani’s works of the second day (yous of Gen. Barksdale) are IMO the best of all his works capturing the intensity, direness, and calamity of those three days in July.

My personal favorite (being an artillery man) is “Retreat By Recoil” depicting the 9th Massachusetts artillery red legs fight against the Confederate juggernaut onslaught spearheaded by your brave kin.

I have walked that ground many times. It was one of the most heroic battery/company actions in our nation's history. Ordered to make a final suicidal stand at the Trostle farm, the battery was eventually flanked by the 21st Mississippi and overrun. However, the unit's continuous fire bought time for Winfield Scott commanding II Corps to fill the eventual nearly mile long gap in the Federal center on Cemetery Ridge. There were heroes everywhere during those three days.
