“””Snark if you will, but my son is an EMS and I’d hate for him to have his face ripped off by some meth addict.”””
10-4 on that. I live here in Minneapolis so I’m pretty sure this will turn into a cops suck/racist thing.
Let some of these do gooders go out and deal with the crackhead to give them some good first hand experience.
Read the report you moron
Ketamine is dangerous on a good day. Since when do you approve of police officers practicing medicine? They are not doctors and have no training for making such a request.
What was going here was waaaay out of line. A single hospital is running a test with a drug known to kill people when ODed on. The police aren’t authorized to participate in any medical test. This is outrageous
Had it been you and the police demanded you be shot up you could die or be severely brain damaged. That could happen at a traffic stop
Whoa there, fellas!
Are you telling me that an MD evaluated the person in custody, then reviewed the perps med history, and then deemed it medically appropriate to inject a controlled substance into the restless/agitated or otherwise in custody perp?
Or are you telling me that a cop told an EMT to inject the perp- there’s one helluva difference?
I think I’ll ask my attorney if any of these scenarios is kosher medically or lawfully. I think I know the answer, but I’d be amazingly surprised if the “right” answer is the latter.
