Reply to comment by trapicana in Phoenix officer given Narcan after ingesting 'white substance' during traffic stop by trapicana

This is fucking hilarious because the active voice gives agency to the "white substance", an inanimate object, while the passive voice is used to describe the actions of the officer: a living, breathing, thinking being with free will.

This sort of purposeful linguistic slight-of-hand is evil.
