"The practice of giving sedatives to people detained by police has spread quietly across the nation over the last 15 years, built on questionable science and backed by police-aligned experts...

"At least 94 people died after they were given sedatives and restrained by police from 2012 through 2021, nearly 10% of the more than 1,000 deaths of people subdued by police in ways that are not supposed to be fatal. About half of the 94 who died were Black"

@JoshuaHolland I didn't even know this was a practice until now and... it very much should not be. This is insanely dangerous to just be dosing people without knowing anything of their medical history and especially with the potential of causing interactions with anything else already in their system

@JoshuaHolland

Fuck the police and the docs they rode in on.
Sure hope none of them trips and lands on the poisoned spike instead.

@GGMcBG @JoshuaHolland The police are paramilitary now. It's their job to protect the power structure. Laws are being changed to make even mild protest dangerous. They are preparing for the coming chaos of the climate crisis as it destroys economies and creates massive migration. Beware.

@JoshuaHolland Up in Canada - cops & RCMP have shot ketamine into people & almost killed one of my Indigenous friends - when she wasn't resisting arrest & already laying in flat prone position.

@gdeihl @JoshuaHolland This is NOT new to me. I started fighting off them, for many years. At several different frontlines.

@msquebanh @JoshuaHolland I wrote about Cop City in Atlanta a while back. The death of Manuel Esteban Paez Terán was outright murder. Not that cops murdering people is anything new. It's the norm. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/the-real-eco-terrorists

@gdeihl @JoshuaHolland 100% murder by state.
