See, in authoritarian regimes you get injected with sedatives that kill you if you attempt to resist the government.
And the cops get away with murder because “they were trying to do the right thing and trying their best”.
American cops have shown repeatedly they cannot be trusted with a baton… Anything with their involvement leading to injecting people with anything is completely absurd and dystopian
Land of the free my ass
The police and the rich are free, I don’t see the problem
I don’t think injecting someone with a sedative AFTER they’re handcuffed makes any sense. And if ketamine has any negative interactions with anything then it is not safe to inject anyone.
Has this really been considered carefully enough? If anyone might have died from it then it needs to stop until it has been studied very carefully and completely.
No one should die from being arrested. Stop the insanity.
The police view the dying side effect as a bonus, not a problem. Dead men tell no stories.
They don’t give a single flying fuck about health concerns, they inject people to make them “calm down” while being assaulted by a gang of armed thugs. Death is just that much more quiet, no big deal
Are these medical professionals doing these injections? I don’t understand how it isn’t a full-on crime to inject anyone.
Holy @#% this is dystopian
I wonder how many of those people were a legitimate threat to the police officers’ safety such that literally no other method of restraint was possible?
Injecting someone with a high, potentially lethal dose of sedatives seems like a tool that should be used sparingly with up most care, yet these deaths prove they’re doing no such thing.
Maybe a threat to the officers authoritative feefees. If I got injected with something against my will, I’d be on a lawsuit rampage.
if you survived
*Utmost
The article had stuff about how the raised acids in the blood after a struggle make the effects of sedatives more dangerous. Plus the unknown state of chemical use before the encounter (a lot of arrests involve drugs or alcohol). Sedatives are pretty risky, imo.
Obligatory k—ing cops is self defence
