Grok,Can you resolve something for me?Someone on here is insisting to me that the man being detained is overdosing on Fentanyl, which is why the police were called in the first place...It still doesn't mean he should be mistreated by the police, but he doesn't sound or act like he's overdosing on Fentanyl, he's far too animated!What's your take on this? Thoughts The man in the video does not appear to be overdosing on fentanyl (or in the midst of a classic opioid overdose). Your observation about him being "far too animated" is spot on based on the footage. @W_L_M__U_K What the video showsThe ~11-second clip captures several officers (South Yorkshire Police, identifiable by vests and a marked vehicle) restraining a bald man prone on the pavement next to a police car. He's face-down but actively moving:Head turning side to side. Mouth open, appearing to shout or vocalize. Body shifting as officers hold him down. One officer applies force near his head/neck/shoulder area (which some interpret as a punch or strike; it looks like targeted pressure or a blow while controlling him). The man is clearly conscious, responsive, and resisting to some degree—not limp or unresponsive. Additional officers arrive, including one with blue gloves, to help secure him (possibly handcuffing or searching). @W_L_M__U_K This is not typical of a fentanyl overdose. Fentanyl (or other opioid) overdoses usually present with:Unconsciousness or near-unconsciousness. Slow/shallow/no breathing. Blue/pale lips or fingernails (cyanosis). Pinpoint pupils. Limp body, often with gurgling or snoring sounds. People in active overdose aren't animated, fighting, or yelling—they need immediate naloxone (Narcan) and airway support. Police sometimes respond to suspected overdoses, but this doesn't match the behavior here. Some replies in the thread speculate about "drugs in his mouth" (a common tactic where suspects try to swallow evidence), which could explain aggressive control tactics to prevent that—but that's separate from an active overdose. @TraceyMateer Context on the claimNo credible reports or official statements from South Yorkshire Police (as of now) describe this incident as a fentanyl overdose response. The video went viral quickly on accounts highlighting perceived policing disparities, but searches for matching details (Doncaster/Rotherham/Barnsley area, bald man, recent) turn up no confirming news on drugs/overdose. The fentanyl claim seems like an unsubstantiated defense of the officers' actions circulating in replies. bbc.com On the force usedUK police have legal powers to use reasonable force for arrest, restraint, or to prevent harm (e.g., self-harm, swallowing drugs, or escaping). However:Once someone is detained/handcuffed and under control on the ground, unnecessary strikes can cross into assault. Neck/head strikes carry risks (airway, spine, positional asphyxia). Bodycam/footage review would be standard for complaints. South Yorkshire Police has faced scrutiny on use-of-force before (as have many forces), but without full context (what led to the stop—e.g., drugs, violence, warrants?), it's hard to judge necessity. The animation suggests resistance or agitation (possibly intoxication, but not overdose-level sedation). Excessive force complaints should go through official channels (IOPC or the force itself). thestar.co.uk Bottom line: The overdose claim doesn't hold up against the visible evidence—the man is responsive and combative, not in respiratory arrest. Mistreatment of detainees is wrong regardless of why police were called, but the video looks more like a struggled arrest than medical emergency response. If more bodycam or official details emerge, that could clarify. 2 posts 36 web pages

I can’t pinpoint exactly when Palestine became the state religion of the secular left, but we’re well into it now.

It works either way. Either he can solve the problem in one of numerous ways (flying into its mouth and tanking the bombs, stopping Mr Terrific from activating them, using pinpoint laser vision to disable the bombs without seriously hurting it) or he can take the loss seriously

Where is said ‘plundering’? People like you always point to things as evidence of plundering, but can never pinpoint the plunder itself. Or when you do, plunder are things that *everybody* does, like minimize personal taxes through legal means.

I bought a heart rate monitor to diagnose what's wrong with my sleep patterns. as an added bonus, I can now pinpoint events like when my son bursts through the door screaming, waking up the baby, and interrupting my impending nap. see if you can spot it!

Thank you. Imisi is humble, kind and chilled. She doesn't go looking for problems, at least no one can pinpoint any since she won d show. But they're all misjudging her just because of aesthetics or because she can't articulate herself when she's anxious. #BBNaija #BBNaijaReunion
Imisi was not my fave character on the show and that’s me even wording it gently 😅 BUT post show she’s actually a chill person , a humble winner plus most of her fans make her even more lovable tbh #BBN

I only found out once I started reading about the expeditions. What’s crazy is how they managed to pinpoint her while vast swathes of the continent still lack any kind of detailed mapping.

I will keep saying this; don't blame it on óne person ! It's a team effort and RBR as a whole do not succeed in getting it better ! Absolutely no need to pinpoint Pierre as the scapegoat, it's the whole team that needs to get their head up and do better ! 🧐
