I like this chief of police. Seems really genuine. I wonder if the state is using this to question Derek's character? Training? Will be interesting to see what the plan is for his testimony.

Don't like him too much. he was meeting with the Black Community leaders in secret and then less than 24 hours later fired the officers before the investigation had barely begun and the autopsy report was even completed. He made the call to abandon Precinct 3 and let it be overrun and burned.

IOW, he's a very political for a police chief.

EVERY police chief in just about any decently large city is a political animal. You don't get the job without being one.

He said "Hypoxia" which is similar to asphyxia but can be caused without any physical outside forces.

For a doctor, he conflated the two too often. All the jury heard was "asphyxia."

The symptoms of fentanyl overdose include:

• Miosis (pinpoint pupils)
• Difficulty swallowing, feelings of choking
• Muscle weakness
• Confusion and disorientation
• Dizziness and fainting
• Lips and fingernails turning blue
• No response to painful stimuli
• Extreme drowsiness, inability to stay awake
• Sudden drop in blood pressure
• Significant slowing of heart rate
• Slowed breathing and respiratory distress
• Loss of consciousness

If multiple symptoms of overdose appear, or if the individual loses consciousness and remains nonresponsive, an overdose is likely and companions should call 911 and let them know what has happened.

Fatal overdoses of fentanyl usually result from respiratory collapse, although the drug's capacity to depress central nervous system activity can cause other dangerous or deadly side effects, including brain damage due to oxygen deprivation, heart attack, or organ failure.
To reverse the effects of an opiate overdose, paramedics or other emergency personnel may inject a drug called naloxone. This medication can counteract the effects of fentanyl by binding with opioid receptors while preventing fentanyl from doing the same.

It may take more than one dose of naloxone to completely reverse a fentanyl overdose, and if the drug is administered after the overdose has progressed beyond a certain point it may be ineffective.

There are several factors that can raise the risks of fentanyl overdose for those using and/or abusing the drug. They include:

• Opiate dependence. When people suffering from opiate addiction take fentanyl more frequently and in higher doses than would normally be prescribed, overdose is more likely.
• Different uses. Snorting, smoking, or injecting illegal fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, or fentanyl mixed with heroin or cocaine puts users at greater risk for overdose.
• Recreational use. People who abuse fentanyl specifically for the euphoric effects are more at risk of overdose than those who were prescribed the drug for pain.
• Taking illicit fentanyl or fentanyl analogues. Quality and dosage control in products manufactured in illegal laboratories is lacking, and people who use these sources may get heavier doses of fentanyl than they intended or expected to take.
• Mixing fentanyl with other drugs. The risk of overdose increases for those who mix the drug with other opiates (heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone), stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine), alcohol, or other pharmaceutical drugs including benzodiazepines.
• Tolerance. As tolerance for the drug deepens, and larger doses are required to achieve the same effects, the risk for overdose will continue to increase.
• Relapse. When people addicted to fentanyl suffer a relapse, they may take more of the drug than they can handle, not realizing that a prolonged period of abstinence will reset their tolerance level.
• Personal, financial, or health problems. People who use drugs to escape from their troubles are likely to become compulsive in their drug use, and that elevates the risk of overdose substantially.

How hard are they pushing it? A simple google search for "asphyxia" pops up news stories about it as the 3rd-4th link.

Terrible conflation of terms by a physician, compounded by yellow journalism at its finest. Thanks, MSM.

I wonder if the defense knows about that secret meeting, I would think it would be relevant to record.
