Cop Rides to Fight Opioid Abuse
A personal tragedy driving her ride:
- A Chicago police officer is biking to raise awareness about the country's opioid crisis. Officer Kim Conte took off Friday on a 300-mile bike ride from Chicago to Iowa, and back.
Conte's brother died from a heroin overdose two years ago today. The loss inspired her to make a difference.
Conte cycled 100 miles last year for the same effort.

So figures show 580 vaping related lung damage cases and 8 deaths related to vaping and it seems all kind of actions are being taken yet all the opioid deaths and no action against big pharma companies or the execs who all knew the abuse was rampant. Matter of fact let us hand out clean needles to enable these adventurers.
Nice.
Two great Officers, both are great people and a joy to work with. The Department would be lucky if they had a few hundred more like these two.
Amazing person and better cop. Sending prayers P.O. Conte!
And all the weed all this bullshit will be totally legal come January 1, 2020 in our mayor is going to put at least 91 more dispensaries in rapidly to help out the underserved minority communities yeah let’s get everybody high poison everybody incredible what is being done.Lori you’re on television saying all this is OK some other areas like Naperville refuses the recreational marijuana medical marijuana is great for people however recreational is bullshit as you well know how much money you think you’re going to make off of this for the taxpayers in here but how much more is it going to cost us? The weed today is a heck of a lot more powerful than I ever was in the past the THC levels are extremely high who’s going to pay for all of this extra ambulance runs are you hiring more paramedics how about the hospitals will they be more of a private but then again you let all the illegals in this city overcrowding everything giving them boatloads of money.
Safe and fun ride!

Fully agree that these are two wonderful people but disagree on the department part. I'd say the world would be better off with a couple hundred more of them.
