    Why was he sedated with ketamine? Surely, there are better options?

        Of course that would ideal, but IF someone should be sedated, why use ketamine?

          Because the police have no medical training and still get to tell paramedics what drugs to use.

          Ketamine can be used to knock people out, and you can see why the police like that. Of course knocking people out is also super dangerous, and shouldn’t be done unless it’s medically needed.
