Sounds like the folks in the med tent assumed psychedelics when it may have been simple overheating? Strapped to a gurney, and Ketamine. That sounds overzealous and weird?
Very much so. Seems all involved need to be better trained at their jobs.
We can’t assume anything in this case (unlike the previous commenters) b/c there are 2 sides to this story…
-> Misuse of ketamine by EMS and police has become a big problem in this country. It’s further the case that police in the United States have tend to have problems differentiating medical conditions from drug impairment.
-> A close family member of mine was held by Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for “being intoxicated” despite being totally sober. (As was later proven by a blood test.) When trying to get this family member out of custody, it was clear that HCSO has a systemic inability to properly differentiate medical conditions from substance intoxication.
-> Matthew Hyde’s LinkedIn profile shows that he left Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office just a couple months after the alleged event occurred, which is suspicious.
-> 42 U.S.C. section 1983 claims can be very difficult to litigate. Attorneys are usually pretty selective about these types of cases and the 3 retained attorneys for plaintiff are well-respected.
I’m not giving HCSO nor Hyde any benefit of the doubt here.
I’ll bet there’s a video somewhere!
