That isn't the point, and that isn't how it works.
There's nothing wrong with casual drug use. Alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, I don't care(as long as it doesen't make you go nuts, like PCP). The problem is that many(most?) can't keep it under control.
Plus, PCP is some nasty sh!t. Something like that would never happen if it was just X.

LOL, show me a casual cocaine user. Casual cigarette smokers are around, but there aren't many. Point is that this stuff IS addicting. Whether it be physically addicting or psycologically addicting, it is addicting. My friend smokes cigs because he hung around people who did. When he started, it was just casually when he was around those friends. Now it's just an addiction. X is also very psycologically addicting. People get addicted to the feelings and the freedom. It happens a lot. And lacing X is not uncommon.
In taking any illicitly made substance that you didnt make yourself, I see the possibility of getting a bad batch. Whether it is a hot shot of heroin, some weed with a little PCP or formaldehyde, or some incorrectly made moonshine that blinds you... you are placing a lot in the hands of someone out to make a quick buck. So if you must do it, know your supplier.
Anyone see that COPS where that black guy was running around naked while tripping on PCP? The dude tore down a fence and had blood all over him. Took a swarm of those cops to tackle him. It's no wonder the cops fired on your boss's brother.

I am not "holier than thou" but I choose not to pop pills that can kill me either. Ecstacy is a drug and can cause harm. Fuk up your brain all you want but I don't plan on it.
KThanks bye.
I never said that. I am in fact a military attorney, and do not approve of using drugs. I sure as hell don't use them. That said, I think your kind of judgmental attitude is unproductive and unhelpful.

So telling someone their youth must have been boring isn't judgemental and unproductive ??

headshot is the wrong answer my friend. In the real world you take body shots. The body is easier to hit than a head, and you are supposed to detain or subdue not kill outright.

Touche, although that part of my post was more of a sardonic exclamation than a real substantive statement.
I certainly never meant to make some kind of value judgment that drug use was a good thing. I just don't appreciate the posters here who seem to think that every kind of potentially risky behavior (drinking, driving too fast, using ecstasy) makes the actor reckless and irresponsible. I have in recent days, for example, read posts that compared drinking alcohol to murder, which I regard as absurd.
In this instance, I don't argue that using ecstasy is a responsible behavior, but I also don't think it is that big a deal, and it certainly is not predictable that it will lead to a shootout with police. If anything, ecstasy, like marijuana, arguably makes a person less prone to violent behavior, unlike stimulants like methamphetamine or cocaine (or, for that matter, alcohol, which is involved in something like half of all crimes).

Just myself I knew quite a few people who've taken ecstasy and cocaine on multiple occasions and are in no way addicted to them.
It's really not that hard at all to use ecstasy a few times. Or coke. But maybe my friends and I are just weird like that and can.
I think people should be made more aware of these drugs and their effects and what can happen. And I'm not talking about some bullsh1t channel 11 news piece. You're not going to stop people from taking drugs, humans have done them throughout history. Why not be more/better informed?
If you're to the point of shooting a suspect you're past detaining or subdueing.
Granted you'll take him to the hospital ASAP, but your first goal is to drop him.

Yeah... hopefully he can talk to the department shrink if he has any issues with shooting the man.

My God, what a loser. Still, one bad trip to have all that happen to him definitely sucks. I suppose he won't be donig E again.
That isn't true. Every police force I've heard of is told to shoot-to-kill. Shooting to subdue is movie-land, and not reality. Often peopld do not die when the police hit them and the police do subdue them, but the SOP is to attempt to kill, if you have to fire.

Just about every addict/drunk would say exactly the same thing at some point in their past; keep it up until your 30 and let us know how you and your friends are doing.
I don't really mean that you should. But someday you and your friends will discover you're just as mortal as every other human being.

Why because I care more for the officer's psychological well being than I do that some F**K WIT took drugs and has ruined his life(luckily only his life) and caused his family and friends grief and agrivation.

Your friend is lucky not to be dead.
He was unlucky with a bad trip or what not. But where the hell were his friends when he was doing this sh!t? They should have been around if he was doing it with them and not alone. At least help do something about it and not let him freak out with his gun.
