For those wondering about the cop angle, the cops ordered it.

““The firefighters/paramedics could have made a difference for Elijah to still be here and alive, but they chose wrong instead of right. If they had done the right things instead of following killer cop orders, then the killer cops would have been the only ones on trial, and I am sure they would have faced all of the blame alone with no one to cover up their crimes. Ketamine causes amnesia, so if Elijah had survived, he wouldn’t have remembered what happened to him,” she said, in part.”

    Ok, it’s in their protocol to give ketamine for excited delirium… which is a sketchy diagnosis made by cops (a whole other can of worms).

    5ml per kilogram is the protocol. The paramedic says he gave 500 ml in the article, a dose for a 220 lb person. Admittedly I only see the picture posted in the article, but I think Elijah wasn’t quite that big.

    There’s a lot of weirdness going on here and Aurora is probably safer with these two medical providers out of the picture.

    Edit: mg, not ml.
