aka summary execution by police
Definitely need to investigate the connections too. I doubt this is fully random. Medics are rigorously trained, but also have access to potent drugs with high street values. Guaranteed some of these incidents are cop gangs killing opponents or rats.
I remember reading a Wikipedia page as a kid about “mobile execution vans” deployed in China. Don’t think anyone talks about the ones deployed in the US
It's even more fucked up than I thought. The investigations weren't done by the FBI or by the state of Florida but by the AP itself.
At least 17 people died in Florida over a decade following a physical encounter with police during which medical personnel also injected them with a powerful sedative, an investigation led by The Associated Press has found.
Three of the fatal incidents occurred in Orlando. Others were reported across the state, from Tallahassee to Tampa to West Palm Beach. Two incidents involved drugs administered by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue paramedics.
The deaths were among more than 1,000 that AP’s investigation documented across the United States of people who died after officers used, not their guns, but physical force or weapons such as Tasers that — like sedatives — are not meant to kill. Medical officials said police force caused or contributed to about half of all deaths.
It was impossible for the AP to determine the role injections may have played in many of the 94 deaths involving sedation that reporters found nationally during the investigation’s 2012-2021 timeframe.
In Communist China,
Cops (and paramedics) should not have access to Ketamine. The last thing you want in a k hole is to be man handled. That shit will scar you for life if it doesn't kill you.
No reason to use ketamine unless you are in the process of intubating them or they have woken up during surgery. Putting someone on a breathing machine happens in a hospital environment not on a sidewalk done by an EMT. Ketamine at high doses is a powerful dissociative (forces mind to switch to 3rd person view) used by anesthesiologists when someone becomes conscious during traumatic procedures. Like when someone wakes up while surgeons have their chest opened up or they need to be woken while intubated on a breathing machine. Causes what would be an extremely traumatic experience to become an out of body experience that a person will likely dismiss should they even remember it.
Interesting, I've always been of the belief that K doesn't have a ton of "real world" use cases beyond being a bit of fun. (Its therapeutic potential is likely done better by other substances subjectively) Never heard of it being used as a backup anesthesic.
If someone is already drunk, on opioids, etc., even if they are possibly acting manic, giving them ketamine on top of whatever else they’re on is incredibly dangerous.
haha horrifying 
Man made horrors that don't even have the decency to be beyond my comprehension
