Minnesota Cops Ordered Paramedics To Inject Suspects With 'Rape Drug' – Report

“Police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, have been ordered to ‘never suggest or demand’ that paramedics use powerful horse tranquilizers on suspects, following a report that the practice had spiked in recent years. The new policy order comes after a report by the city’s Office of Police Conduct Review found that paramedics had used ketamine on suspects during police calls 62 times in 2017, up from just three times in 2012. In some cases, emergency personnel injected the tranquilizer into suspects who were already restrained, causing heart and breathing failure and requiring the suspects to be medically revived, reported the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.”
