It's worth reading up on Ketamine and its use medically before coming to conclusions based on this article. Notably:
1. EMTs are generally under the oversight of a head doctor and aren't supposed to take actions outside of what they're directed to do there. Even if instructed by a LEO
2. Ketamine is a relatively safe drug used for a variety of purposes. While it may calm down someone experiencing stress, it can also stabilize patients en-route to the hospital
While this situation may be a miscarriage of justice,we needn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
