Hope they never use this on a drunk person, or someone on opiates

Apparently butt hurt about their tasers being taken, the police in Nashville have jumped the gun on police state style tactics and decided to start administering anesthetic doses of Versed to unruly individuals:

For almost two years, Metro police have had the option of calling for a needle loaded with a strong sedative to control the most unruly people they encounter on the street.

One of the doctors who came up with the protocol said it's the safest option out there and that it is used all over the country.

But many people said that the injection was news to them, and a top medical ethicist said it's a troubling precedent.

Yeah, troubling. I think the police should just start using roofies.
