Minneapolis police officers have repeatedly requested over the past three years that Hennepin County medical responders sedate people using the powerful tranquilizer ketamine, at times over the protests of those being drugged, and in some cases when no apparent crime was committed, a city report shows.And you fucking have it coming to you. Maybe a few seven o eight-figure cvil judgments might get your attention.
On multiple occasions, in the presence of police, Hennepin Healthcare EMS workers injected suspects of crimes and others who already appeared to be restrained, according to the report, and the ketamine caused heart or breathing failure, requiring them to be medically revived. Several people given ketamine had to be intubated.
People should be going to jail over this. But with a certain jackbooted elf now in charge of the Department o Justice, that's not going to happen.
What the hell?
ReplyDeleteIs heart stoppage looked at as a side effect? DId the cold temperatures affect people's common sense?
Cops thought this was okay while they were wearing body cams?
THis shit will never stop until the officers can be sued as individuals as well as the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteIf the officers had a stake in it, they'd be more careful.
No more "Qualified immunity" for such misbehavior.
and is anyone gonna charge the EMS folks for administering it?
Qualified immunity has gone from a question of reasonableness to a question of whether the cops' behavior was so unreasonable as to shock the conscience. It's become evil.
