Cop Recognizes Fentanyl and Fireman Recognizes Career Suicide

Ripped from the headlines like an old episode of Law & Order (Chris Noth and Jerry Orbach of course), your favorite Fire and Police experts are back with a couple of stories that made us scratch our heads this week. One involves life and the other death and then some.

First up the heroic efforts of Officer Maysih Ford and what he did to revive a 2 year old who ingested what Ford recognized as a possible fentanyl tablet. Our discussion revolves around why the story had to go into detail about fentanyl tablets and the park and all the other stuff. Officer Ford saved a life using his CPR training and our hats are off to him here at WYE Radio. First round is on us if you’re ever in the area sir.

Now in the “not getting a beer for WYE” category is former Miami Firefighter Kevin Newcomb who thought it would be a neat idea to type “Who cares another dead cop” after the on duty death of Officer Cesar Echaverry who was shot and killed in a shoutout with a robbery suspect. Our discussion revolves around SMACS (Social Media Assisted Career Suicide) and other comments Newcomb made about a serious threat to Police Officers recently: COVID.

This week we discuss:

• How it is that a cop can spot fentanyl on site (and not pass out…hint hint)
• Why Police Departments have recently been trying to send any good news out
• SMACS and the crowded restaurant rule of social media, even in private chats
• Puppies
