I’d be tempted to go with Singapore style rules for Ice dealers. Off to the long drop gallows. It is utterly destructive in ways that we haven’t really seen before.
In the same way that psychos attract saddoes, and have a string of sorry excuses for people wanting to correspond with them/visit them/sleep with them in prison…
Every likelihood she’s a psycho and/or addict herself…
I remember going to a job where a guy high on ice had two officers in my team on the ground beating into them. He was trying to unlatch the gun, almost got it out. Nothing worked - OC spray or baton. One of the officers managed to get a garbled message over the radio for help. We could hear the struggle over the radio.
I swear every police car in the ACT went as fast as possible to the scene. My partner and I had the divvy van and we were going 160+ km/h to help our mates.
Took 10 officers to get cuffs on this guy and into the van. Needed a tactical team to meet us at the watch house to transport him into the cells as you can’t have weapons in the watch house ( except OC spray which the watch house sergeant only uses).
This guy wasn’t huge, but the strength and sheer anger of the attack was unbelievable. My team mates needed minor surgery from the attack.
This was 2006. My partner and I had to go back to patrolling our zone after dropping the guy at the watch house.
We would usually be really chatty, making jokes. Not that time. Just silence. Then we looked at each other and said WTF just happened. It was a real awakening for me about the real dangers of ICE.
I’ve seen the same thing. Guy was lucky to be 65kg wringing wet and two large solid policemen were really struggling to hold him down. I do remember seeing a doco about Iraq when the marines had to do house to house fighting. If they saw a crack pipe they knew they had a problem. Even if they were shot it didn’t stop them. The scary thing is how much of it is out there ? I’m so sheltered.
