Is Ketamine the New Police Weapon Against Black Lives?

By the time firefighter paramedics arrived at the scene of Elijah McClain’s arrest in 2019, the 23-year-old was crying out in pain with his hands cuffed behind his back, while multiple officers held his body down on the ground. The cops had already put him in a choke hold, which restricts blood flow to the brain, while he said, “I can’t breathe … I have no gun … I don’t do any fighting. Why are you attacking me?”
The five-foot-six, 140-pound McClain had been walking down the street listening to music, when he was approached by the police. By the time the paramedics had arrived, he was lying in the grass next to his own vomit, surrounded by at least four cops barking “chill out!” and threatening to sic a police dog on him if he moved. McClain was clearly helpless, and yet the officers still saw him as a threat who needed to be further subdued.
The fire medics rolled up McClain’s shirt sleeve and reportedly injected him with a 500-milligram shot of ketamine, a powerful sedative. Less than two minutes later, the 23-year-old started snoring, and after lightly slapping him a few times to make sure he was out cold, the medics lifted McClain’s limp body onto a stretcher. On his way to the hospital, McClain went into cardiac arrest. Less than a week later, he was dead.
Ketamine is most commonly used as an anesthetic in hospitals and veterinary clinics, and while most physicians consider it relatively safe to use in medical settings, in certain situations it can have severe, potentially lethal side effects.

Strong lynch vibes to the picture taking. 
His last words fucked me up heavily. I hate cops so fucking much man
This is my first time reading the full quote. Fucking heart-wrenching.

Investigative reporter Emmanuelle Saliba analyzes body camera video obtained by NBC News’ social newsgathering team, 911 calls and police reports to piece together a minute-by-minute breakdown of Elijah McClain’s deadly arrest.www.nbcnews.com
Did anyone catch that bow at the end. He was really polite to that guy behind him and kept it moving yet these assholes treated him like shit and killed him..
They need to be shot after doing this along with the people that killed him...
Thought I couldn't ever feel as heated for a good extremely harmless young brother like Kalief Browder, but this shyt hit just as heavy damn.
Man that damn body cam video was hard as fck to watch. It's just a lot more of got damn heartless white folks in this world than people think, to me, mentally ill, and then become got damn cops at that and get a pass with mental illness being white. I guarantee we all know a cat like this young brother... wouldn't hurt a fly.
Wasn't this the same city with the movie shootings in 2012?
And they wonder why the only thing we hope is no black folk are victims when shyt like these mentally ill white shootings pop off...
Man, let me log the fck off...
Rip young brothers

I keep updating the thread because many folks haven’t ever heard about it
How demented and evil do you have to be to not only MURDER a non violent 5'6 140 lb vegan.. But to then celebrate it and photograph the footage.
They did him worse than George Floyd.
Somebody gatta blick them cops.
ALL of them.
Burn that muthafuckin city dine.

They gotta get charged first. The governor signed a executive order to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the case.
Same police department....
The problem with this is the legal precedents that allow them to kill us in this manner for no reason. If they charge these men, they'll open the flood gates. I'm all for it but can't see them ever doing that.
Big ups to the Doctor and he put the use of White privilege into its proper perspective and how to use it to help.
My people need to be mentally equipped to maintain their bearing in stressful situations like this encounter. I'm almost as pissed at all of that wailing in the presence of that child as I am about the description of what the stop was about.
Turns out they were all minors in cuffs.

People are comparing the arrests of the white male suspects at the center of recent shootings in Boulder and Atlanta to the 2019 death of unarmed Black man Elijah McClain. An independent investigation led by the Aurora, Colorado, city council had found that police officers involved in the fatal confrontation with McClain did not have a legal basis to stop or physically restrain him
