Why doesn't the mayor want police officers to carry Narcan?

Although I have no problem with them carrying it to administer to officers or citizens who become accidentally exposed to fentanyl.

I agree with this.

Unfortunately I think it's getting harder to tell who the opioid junkies are these days, though, but that's another problem.

People addicted to and overdosing on opioids aren't harmless. They can be quite violent. I can see why someone wouldn't want to deal with that. You shouldn't be hurt for trying to save someone's life, especially someone who doesn't even value it themselves.

How exactly do you know this? Last time I checked, people OD'ing on opioids are having medical emergencies. Maybe you have your drug stereotypes confused with PCP, I'm not sure.
