Sounds like the worst idea ever. Hope these practices will stay in the US only.

Also happens in Canada (https://communityedition.ca/paramedics-in-wr-will-soon-admin...), they administer it for pretty much the same reason as in the US. And Australia.

Seems more like these are narcostates with excess inventory.

Imagine landing that government contract. Imagine approving that government contract. Think about who these people are. Use your noggin.

At least they say that ketamine must be approved by a physician first. Also a bit weird that I can’t find any other articles saying this. Maybe I am searching the wrong thing

First I've ever heard of this and I'm stunned. Who are they trying to arrest? The Incredible Hulk?

Anyone high on meth is pretty much the hulk.

A taser is basically ineffective when used on somebody high on PCP. If they're violent enough, you basically either need a tranq dart or a gun.

Meth is a problem everywhere yet cops still manage to apprehend suspects without anyone dying of a drug induced heart attack in the process.

And I swim all the time without drowning, yet swimmers drown all the time. So what?

This isn't a software function, there are thousands of factors involved and a cop is walking in knowing a handful. I don't think you're being realistic.
