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.
