U.S. Woman says she was injected with sedative against her will after abortion rights protest at NBA game: "Shocking and illegal"
CBS NEWS ^ | August 12, 2022 | CBS/AP

A protester has filed a federal civil lawsuit against the city of San Francisco claiming that a paramedic, under the direction of a police sergeant, injected her against her will with a sedative while she was handcuffed after being removed from a Golden State Warriors championship game for demonstrating in favor of abortion rights.

Kareim McKnight and a friend, Amanda Piasecki, were at Game 5 of the Warriors series against the Boston Celtics at Chase Center on June 13 when they walked onto the main floor and displayed a banner that read "Overturn Roe? Hell No!" A draft of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade was leaked in May.

McKnight said that once they were outside, a San Francisco Police sergeant threatened to have her sedated.

Fun to see a pro-abortion protester get injected by a pro-abortion police department in a pro-abortion city in a pro-abortion state.

I expect that will be determined in a court of law at some
point down the road. Was she or wasn’t she injected?

That’s what you get for disrupting the game and trying to ruin the evening fun for thousands of people.

Fake news. No EMS paramedic would inject Versed/Valium into someone without a physician's order.

This isn't China kids...

Her pronouns are Ug, and Lee She claims that she was dragged out, choked, hogtied, and injected. Or what Hunter would call a typical first date

I'm guessing that giving a doctor prescribed sedative to someone against their will is legal in some instances, e.g., given to prevent a person from causing harm to themselves.

As far as dealing with those being arrested who are unruly and resistant, is being tasered any different that forcibly being given a sedative - from a civil rights/legal perspective?

Although it varies from state to state there are laws/regulations in at least some states allowing EMTs to administer certain medications in certain situations. I'd be willing to bet that Kalifornia is one of those states.

And as for "on the orders of the cop" that so much horse manure. It's a filthy,slimy lawyer who represents a filthy,slimy Maoist client looking for a big payout.

That's right.It would either be a specific order transmitted over their radio...or it could even be what,in medicine,is called a “standing order”. Although I think that “standing order” is less likely.

Yes,it’s absolutely legal in some situations. I know...I saw it done many hundreds of times while working in a big city ER.

Note it was not just any “Woman”; it was a “U.S. Woman”. Later in the article: “U.S. Supreme Court”. They try so hard to be so clever with headlines, don’t they? It’s so cute.

After reading the article and seeing her picture, somehow veternarian and cow tranquilizer comes to mind when I think about someone giving her a shot. Just saying......

Yeah, I check the EMS boxes and orders post use. I’ve never seen standing orders, even for status epilepticus, for injection of benzodizepines (though I guess it’s possible, your state may vary).

Not to mention that Roe V. Wade being overturned had no effect on her or anyone else to have an abortion in California.
