  1. What about the countless people on the streets who overdose each and every day? Where are the prosecutions in their cases?

    This media-inspired and media-savvy prosecution highlights the two tier justice system for the rich and famous and . . . for the rest of us.

    This prosecution FURTHER interferes with the patient-doctor relationship.

    Get law enforcement out of influencing the practice of medicine!

    (Doctors are INTIMIDATED from prescribing sufficient pain medications because the federals (DEA) track that; they monitor it. Ask your own doctor!

    Pain is NOT cathartic. Yes, it worked for Jesus Christ — no sacrilege or disrespect intended, absolutely not — but the rest of us are only human with serious, acute, long-term, unabating, excruciating physical agony (as the author of this comment suffers every breath).

  3. Well, Matthew Perry was looking for trouble when he started doping in the first place. And trouble he found. He shouldn't have been doing those drugs in the first place.😒😒 I shed no tears for addicts.

  4. I disagree with some things that cop said.
    First off if a grown adult wants to do drugs then that’s their choice to make!! An adult who uses drugs should no what is too much for them!! Obviously this guy was trying to commit suicide because that is way too much for 1 person to handle.
    The government isn’t the one getting money and regular people are that’s the real reason why it’s a problem!!

  5. OMG! I think it’s great if they are catching some drug dealers but to blame the drug dealers for Matthew Perry‘s death is a bunch of BS. Matthew Perry made his own decisions to use the drug. Nobody killed Matthew Perry, but Matthew Perry, Matthew Perry made his choiceand using drugs😮

  6. Sad to say, but if this would have been anyone else. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SEEN SUCH AN INVESTIGATION. Money and the Hollywood elitists always seek justice to there beloved fallen heroes. California's King Newsom probably called in a favor and offered all the taxpayer overtime at any cost to solve the crime. But instead the DOJ rushed in to take over the investigation of Truth, Justice and the American way.

  7. So Perry wasn't an innocent victim, he chose to buy from a drug dealer instead of going to a doctor. If he were alive, he would've been charged, or should have been.

    If he wasn't such a beloved actor, we'd all call him a junkie. Though I enjoyed his entertainment and am really saddened by his passing, I refuse to sugarcoat the obvious truth.

  11. I'm glad they're doing this. I agree they should show all responsible. I think this should stop these criminals who knew it was wrong, yet wanted the money, IF they get time, this will stop these people from harming other families going through this. I also believe this is investigating because he's a famous person, but I am glad they are looking into it. Sadly sounds like they will not be charged and this is all for show.

  12. What about the legitimate asylum seeking Kyrgyzstan man that was pulled out of his car and beaten to a pulp in broad daylight?! It’s all on video and there’s been zero arrests in 3 weeks….

  13. Nobody made him take those . He took those drugs because he wanted to. He knew the risk he didn't care. We are not talking about a little kid, We're talking about a grown man who chose what to put in his body.

  14. The saddest thing about this is even if you lock up the people that are responsible, there's more people still willing to keep distributing the same stuff. Even if those specific people didn't sell it to Matthew, he would've found it elsewhere and the results would've been the same. I've witnessed family members struggle with addiction their whole lives, they were an example of what not to do because I didn't want my life to end up like theirs. I knew I deserved better even though at the time I had no one in my corner to lift me up or to encourage me. I stay away from things that I could possibly get addicted to, just to avoid suffering the same fate as my family has. I'm proud of myself, everyday.
