(CNSNews.com) – An official with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy told a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee Thursday that the number of deaths involving heroin increased 340 percent from 2007 to 2014, the latest year of available data. “In 2014, the most current year for which we have data, more than 47,000 Americans or approximately 129 people each day died from a drug overdose. Of the overdose deaths in 2014, 22 percent involved heroin,” Kemp Chester, associate director for the National Heroin Coordination Group within the Office of National Drug Control Policy, told the committee during a hearing titled, “Cartels and the U.S. Heroin Epidemic: Combating Drug Violence and Public Health Crisis.” “The threat posed by heroin has continued to grow dramatically over the past several years, and since 2007, deaths involving heroin have risen 340 percent--from 2,402 in 2007 to 10,574 in 2014. Heroin use is spreading to suburban and rural communities and is growing among most socio-economic classes, age groups and races,” he told the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues. Mexico is the primary supplier of heroin to the U.S. “with Mexican drug traffickers cultivating opium poppy, producing heroin, and smuggling the finished product into the United States,” Chester said.

Because they were told to. Evidently that was because it was less politically expedient than Napalming and Bulldozing the crops -- which would've been the morally responsible thing to do; especially given the FACTS regarding how much of that "agricultural" product ends up in American neighborhoods. Yes to the first sentence ... the were ordered to, No it was not "evidently" the reason you state. The question remains: Why were the U.S. Marines guarding the poppy fields?
Ah, no. It's not. I won't lift a finger for anyone that tries to kill themselves. That includes overdosing. There isn't a drug addict alive that doesn't know the dangers of shooting a chemical into their bloodstream... fuck them. Let them die. You don't like that? TFB. I don't answer to you. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Watch the video above ... Why don't you just tell us: Why were the U.S. Marines guarding the poppy fields? Or, don't you know either?
How do the constituents of your employer's City Council feel about you not answering to them?
Because they were NOT ordered to destroy them. Why was that?
Which individual in the photo was the "filthy drug addict" Barney Fife?
So that the D&R drug cartel can finance the campaign & election of President Hillary Rodham Clinton, so that she can then appoint Donny Trumkins as the Czar of Transgender Bathrooms? Obama = Bush = Hillary = Trump = Uncle Joe Biden = Hiawatha Warren = yukon President Hillary Rodham-Clinton (D&R) I'm retired from law enforcement, tool bag. Keep up with current events. I collect a pension... it can never be stopped... and I no longer have to ever worry about what constituents, police boards, libtards, cop blockers OR WHAT MY EMPLOYER thinks about what I say and do. Just keep paying me and STFU. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Like I give a shit. There are good cops and there are bad cops. WAY MORE good than bad. If an officer develops an addiction or feels the desire to attempt a suicide... then I hope they win their stupid prizes. I'm equal oppertunity for drug addict death. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

ArtNum=46516&Disp=15#C15 Doesn't sound too retired. Then again, maybe you're just completely full of shit. Also - those aren't Cops in the photo. So much for your super hero sleuthing skilz, Barney.
Let's vote - everybody who thinks Barney "GrandIsland" Fife is full of shit raise your hand. { raising hand }
Hahahahah ... you made a funny.
BINGO! Captain Uniparty says "the [Military Industrial Drug-pushing] Republicans and Democrats know they need each other to survive". I may vote for Trump just so I can see Captain U puke all over his fashion wear.
Can't handle GrandIsland, eh ... you pussy. You have to call in your asshole buddies to help you out. Shameful cowardice ...
Oh he got handled just fine. Caught red handed in a big ol' LIE. I just wanted everybody else to enjoy laughing at him/her/it.
I think we should go into the hood in Chicago, and pass out free ammo
Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Kinda hard to do when you only got one bullet for your pistol and you have to keep it in your pocket though -- Isn't it Barney "GrandIsland" Fife?
I retired from law enforcement, Einstein But yes, I still work full time. And yes I have powers of arrest. And yes, I'm not in NY any longer. I never looked at the photo, douche bag. Why would I look at your yella bullshit, junior? You must think you're the smartest fucker you know. I'm still retired from LE, dipshit. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Caught red handed in a big Red handed huh. lol You are a fuckin tool. I'm retired from LE and now I work in corrections, dumb dumb. Admit it, I did kick your ass, Sonny. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
But yes, I still work full time. Oh, so now prison guards [and the department of corrections] aren't law enforcement in Barney "GrandIsland" Fife-land - where you "arrest" inmates. Uhuh. Does the maximum security prison [where you're not in law enforcement, but you "arrest" inmates] in your fantasy have rules regarding the emergency healthcare of inmates?
That's correct, dumb ass. Cops work in law enforcement... correctional officers work in corrections. Two separate professions with different pensions. Dumb ass I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Yes, the correctional officers supply emergency medical care to an inmate that's in need until the medical staff arrive within minutes on that particular block... but I don't work the blocks, dumb shit. I don't respond to medical codes. I'm a little busy for that shit. Now STFU Ps... you will enjoy this. I arrest both sides of the cell. I arrest the inmates and the officers if either break the law. I've done both with equal enthusiasm since my employment started. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Survey says... "Yes, corrections officers are law enforcement officers" Yes, Barney "GrandIsland" Fife is still full of pretentious manure. Does the Prison in Fife-land have any rules and procedures regarding the administration of emergency care for prisoners like... http://www.ncchc.org/naloxone-for-the-prevention-of- opioid-overdose-deaths You don't like that? TFB. I don't answer to you. lol GrandIsland posted on 2016-06-05 17:55:03 ET http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi? ArtNum=46551&Disp=26#C26 "and I no longer have to ever worry about what constituents, police boards, libtards, cop blockers OR WHAT MY EMPLOYER thinks" GrandIsland posted on 2016-06-05 18:19:37 ET http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi? ArtNum=46551&Disp=32#C32 You don't worry about what "WHAT MY EMPLOYER" - - the Department of Corrections - thinks. Oh Ok.
Lol. Liar Liar. Lie much on the stand did/do ya? Prosecutors just love little fibs like that... don't they?
You are too slow to really understand. lol I'm never in a position to administer medical assistance, dip shit. This is why. I don't work on the blocks. The only time I'm on the block is to search a cell or handle a crime scene. Either way, the uniformed officers get the inmates locked in and tend to ALL THEIR NEEDS, EVEN MEDICAL. I don't even have to touch them when I arrest them. I order a uniformed officer to do it. Also... if I interview inmates, uniformed officers transport them to my office and stay with them the entire time... they tend to their EVERY need. I wear a suit and tie. I don't administer medical care, nor am I expected to. I have a very clear understanding with the only person I answer too. I wouldn't have accepted the job if I had to administer medical care to an inmate, dip shit. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Eligibility is open to current or retired employees of the following law enforcement organizations within the state of Colorado, as well as their family members: What's the LE stand for in that URL Barney?
Corrections and law enforcement are two different professions, dipshit. I am currently retired from LE and collecting my pension while I work a different profession. Give it up. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Is their name on your pay check, Barney?
What's the LE stand for? https://www.rmlefcu.org/ I know what it stands for because members of my immediate and extended LEO family, and their LE Friends in corrections, have all had accounts there. Fortunately, pathological miscreants like you never got invited to our family picnics. That's probably because none of them had the malformed character, malformed character you're so proud of, that would let someone die if administering a life-saving treatment like Narcan would save their life. Dip Shit.
if any of that is true, they must be proud of you. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
LOL at yourself you sycophantic L.I.F.E.R. scumbag.
I'm not a "lifer", shiteater. At the end of the day, I lock my office and go home. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Quack, Waddle: Every LEO I grew up with knew who those were. That's why you never got invited to the extended LEO family picnics.
What does all your vast LE family think about your opinions of their retirement? You must be the pride of your family holiday dinners. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Who do you think I learned the acronym from? Like I said, there were LEOs like the men at our family picnics - and then there were the L.I.F.E.R.s like you, who disgusted them, who never got invited. The malignant character you put on display here: "Fuck em" "let em die" - is one example why.
You are full of shit. Any self respecting LE family member would kick you in the nuts until your nose started to bleed. F' off I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
F'off yourself L.I.F.E.R. scumbag.
Yup, because I refuse to NARCAN a overdosing drug addict, I must be lazy. lol Maybe your Paultard friends believe the story about having as many cop relatives as Peter Puffer has fag relatives... because I'm your Paultatd world that must make you a LE expert. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
None of the men I grew up around would've let someone die if administering something like Narcan could've saved a life. That's a significant difference between the integrity, character, and humanity they exemplified by protecting and serving (even the "filthy drug addict"s, prostitutes, and other assorted unfortunate folks they encountered) - and the malignant character you put on display here. Run along now. Get that suction going on those teats, L.I.F.E.R.!
The good LEOs always create and live in an extended family. It's how they and their families survive the job. Firefighters and Military folks do the same. But individuals with character like what you put on display here and brag about -- didn't get invited. Sucks to be you, L.I.F.E.R!
And for any forum addicts, make sure you mix a little Fentanyl in everything you shoot in your arm for a greater high. You might as well win GREATER stupid prizes. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
