I first learned of this story from excellent reporting by The Village Voice many years ago:

Absolutely harrowing.
- voxic11 4y agoSo essentially the police got some doctors to make up a condition called "Excited Delirium". Symptoms of Excited Delirium include "Police Noncompliance" and sweating. They have created "treatment protocols" for Excited Delirium which include the immediate administration of intravenous ketamine. Often EMS arrives after police and take their word that the symptoms of Exited Delirium were displayed since the police should be in the best position to know whether the main symptom of "Police Noncompliance" was present. You can learn more about Excited Delirium in this whitepaper which is the basis for claiming its a real condition. https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/media/publications/acep_report_on_excited_delirium_syndrome_sept_2009.pdf https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/media/publications/acep_repo... And you can read more about MPD's "treatment protocols" and read some horrifying case studies in this oversight report that audited body cameras of encounters when ketamine was administered. https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/File/1853/Pre-Hospital%20Sedation%20Report%20Revised%2011-20-2018.pdf https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/File/1853/Pre-Hospit...
