FINALLY, SOME COMMON SENSE FOR POLICE OFFICERS

   Ontario drops the watchdog probes into police officers who try to save overdose victims.
   Police officers in Ontario will no longer face investigations by the provincewide watchdog if someone dies after they administer naloxone, an anti-overdose medication, the provincial government has announced -- and it's welcome news to London police officials.
   “No one should face unfair repercussions just because they are doing their job and trying to save a life,” Sylvia Jones, Ontario’s minister of community safety and correctional services, said in a statement. “This amendment will enable police officers to carry out their duties without fear of facing a criminal investigation, but more importantly, it will also help save countless lives.”
