I've never seen anyone on a lethal dose of fentanyl get so agitated.

It is strange, usually they stop responding and go cyanotic very quickly.

I suppose it depends on the RoA, other drug interactions, underlying conditions... the strange thought that occurs to me that if he simply nodded out and was unresponsive it would have been obvious what was going on and they could have administered Naloxone. Probably wouldn't have helped given the other factors but yeah, strange presentation. Probably thought he was smoking that synthetic Buddah shit. I see weird type of behavior every time I go into the city, so...

Interesting from a medical standpoint but it's hard to have sympathy on a more basic level. He'd been playing stupid games since the mid 90s. Once your number's up, it's really up.

I think he was hypnotically conditioned to have an adrenaline response to the handcuffs and the police car. You see almost the exact same response in the Brooks case in Atlanta. In that case he had a very significant amount of alcohol in his system, also a depressant that should have had a sedating effect.

Yeah I suspect that’s the meth. Doing the ghetto speed ball.

All the people I’ve ever seen with any sort of opiate toxicity generally just sorta lay down and go to sleep. Then respiratory arrest>hypoxia>cardiac arrest>death.

The fact Kirby kept going, screaming he couldn’t brief, makes me think it was something other than opiates.
