Given how many reports I've heard of officers having panic attacks at the mere sight of fentanyl -- including youtube videos of their body cameras -- I'm a bit skeptical of that story.
Who diagnosed this OD? Why did it take three doses of Naloxone, when one suffices for somebody who did ingest a lot of opioids?
Given your outline of the incident, I'd propose that an alternative scenario is that she saw the drugs, started screaming about an overdose, and her fellow officers started pumping her full of Naloxone. Because all of them are convinced that fentanyl is incredibly deadly to police officers in a way that doesn't seem to affect doctors, paramedics, fellow addicts, or dealers. Overdosing her on Naloxone wouldn't do her any harm.
If you've got a link perhaps it could help determine which scenario holds. It's entirely possible that it would back up what you said. I've just seen too many YouTube videos of police overreacting.
