The accidental fentanyl exposure hit San Diego County sheriffs Deputy David Faiivae quickly. It was an overdose. He was dying.
A body-worn video camera caught the moment Faiivae collapsed flat on his back in a San Marcos parking lot last month, seconds after he finished testing a white powder hed suspected was either cocaine or fentanyl.

The deputy stared into the sky, his lungs locked as he struggled for air. If not for a quick-thinking partner coming to his aid, he would be dead.

Faiivaes near-fatal overdose on July 3 was the subject of a 4-minute video released by the Sheriffs Department on Thursday.

The incident became part of the latest public warning about fentanyl, a drug blamed for 461 fatal overdoses in San Diego County in 2020 and which officials warn could kill 700 in 2021. The drug is an increasing problem among inmates in county jails as well.

Undersheriff Kelly Martinez said the body camera video prompted internal discussions about training and how it could be used in a public campaign to demonstrate the dangers of fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid 50 times more potent than heroin.

We are still seeing it increasing all the time, Martinez said of fentanyl use.

In the body camera video, Faiivaes training officer, Cpl. Scott Crane, tells him the substance he found had tested positive for fentanyl and cautions him, that stuffs no joke it is super dangerous.

Faiivae then takes a step backward and topples over.

Crane checks on the deputy and then races to his patrol car for naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, a nasal spray used to reverse the effects of opioids. I ran over to him and I grabbed him, and he was ODing, Crane later recalled.

Crane sprays the medication into one of Faiivaes nostrils, then the other and moves to loosen Faiivaes bulletproof vest under his uniform shirt.

Just breathe, buddy, breathe, Crane tells Faiivae, according to the video. When he asks his trainee if he is OK, Faiivae replies in a weak voice: Im sorry.

Youre OK. Dont be sorry... I got you, OK? Crane says. Im not going to let you die. Im not going to let you die.

Faiivaes overdose happened around 4 p.m. in a parking lot in northern San Diego County during his first radio call of the day. The deputy works patrol out of the San Marcos sheriffs station. It was his final day of shadowing the veteran Crane, officials said.

Sheriffs officials are not sure if the fentanyl got onto the deputys skin or if he inhaled it.

Martinez, the undersheriff, credits Crane with having the antidote nearby while deputies tested the white powder. He saved his partners life that day, she said.

She also credited both deputies for agreeing to share their story to underscore the dangers of fentanyl.

We are having secondary exposures. Weve had toddlers exposed. Its just so very dangerous, she said.

On the video released Thursday, Sheriff Bill Gore calls fentanyl one of the greatest threats facing the region and country. Overdoses have soared in recent years, Gore said, and deputies are finding the drug in the community and in county jails.

Every week, sheriffs deputies intercept fentanyl, he said. When inmates overdose on fentanyl smuggled into our jails, deputies and nurses are saving dozens of lives every month by administering naloxone.

Law enforcement officials have long worried about officers being exposed to fentanyl, which can have dangerous effects even in small amounts. Some agencies use tools that allow officers to test suspected narcotics without opening packages and issue officers gloves and eye protection to lessen exposure risks.

Faiivae wore gloves as he tested the powder, Martinez said, and had just taken them off when he collapsed.

I remember not feeling right and then I fell back, Faiivae says on the video. I dont remember anything after that.

He recalls gasping for breath but says it felt like his lungs locked up.

Crane remembers wanting the deputy to focus on his breathing and reassuring him he wasnt alone.

After paramedics arrived, Faiivae was loaded into an ambulance and his eyes rolled back in his head. Crane said Faiivae overdosed the whole way to the hospital.

It is an invisible killer, Crane said. He would have died in that parking lot if he was alone.

they provide essential services, and can get paid really well.

but even if neither of those things were true, I try not to look down on people's livelihoods...as long as they don't hurt anyone else.

just noticed the sport in quotations - it can be as arduous as some of the other stuff you might see in the Olympics.

and as far as qualifying goes, I dunno how it's going to be implemented, whether crews and/or individual breakdancers will compete, but there have been global competitions for more than two decades, iirc, so maybe auditions, but in a more official manner.

iirc, the Dreamcast came out in the same gen as the Xbox, but earlier.

I feel how you do, tbh.

outside of the performance/jank, and no real activities outside of (side)missions, I had some issue with the combat, but that was my fault because I kept hacking everyone, and it made the game a lot easier.

edit: but besides all that, I had a good time. it's disappointing how little the life paths stuff has to do with the game, though.

it's been a while since I've played, but I think about mid to mid-late game, depending on the side stuff you might do.

how are you liking the game, btw?

if it wasn't for covid, I could see it doing well (epic sci-fi, directed by one of the current most respected directors, has Jason Momoa and Bautista, etc.), but with the way things are, including the delta variant of covid, idk.

it's one thing to process that something terrible has happened, but it's another to have to address the world, including the surviving victims and loved ones of those who have died, and I think that's something a lot of people who criticized Obama don't appreciate.

I've only played through Ghost of Tsushima, but I thought that it was pretty disappointing.

I'd probably give it a 6-6.5/10

despite it being a wartime revenge story, I thought that the plot and characters were pretty bland, and the stealth is really lackluster (the enemy AI can't handle you sneaking by them well).

it also has annoying open-world trappings, like liberating enemy bases, finding collectibles, and so on. and IMO, the wind gimmick isn't better than following a yellow line to your destination.

I did like the swordplay, though, and the game is beautiful. plus, how much effort they put into the Japanese setting helped give it its own identity.
