Deputy Sues 911 Caller for Not Warning of Danger

[Purplehood]

Okay, I have to ask. How does one get high on bath salts? We have a bunch of that stuff in the bathroom, all kinds of different scents. Boxes, bags, jars, you name it we got it.

Maybe we don't. Is it illegal?

That sounds like you have a virtual drug emporium in your bathroom. To answer your question, I have no idea how they ingest that stuff to get high off of it.

I really hope you are both kidding, but since a friend of my wife asked the same question in a very serious manner:

Why in the world would people that do not use illegal drugs be "kidding" when they ask?

Seriously?

That deputy needs to get a grip. You get called out to a disturbance and don't suspect that it just might somehow possibly be dangerous?

Did he think Figueroa called 911 to order a pizza?

I had an older cousin by marriage who was an LEO in the Houston area, many years ago. Back then PCP was the bad stuff that quite a few folks were using. I'm pretty sure when he, or any other officer, got called out because someone was high on PCP, they suspected trouble might be in the works. (I know this because I got to hear a couple of those stories. Bad business.) How is it that a current officer wouldn't understand that someone high on "bath salts" might be a danger? I promise I am not poking, I am being serious. This whole thing just sounds really, really weird.
