I've only posted the ketamine section here. Follow the link above for the full story.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Injecting ketamine to sedate suspects
Paramedics inject ketamine as a sedative, often at the orders of police who think suspects are acting out of control.
There are no federal standards for police officers or medical personnel on the drug's use, according to the Associated Press. Policies relating to the drug vary depending on the state, so it is not clear how regularly it's used during police encounters and why.
Ketamine was also injected into 23-year-old Elijah McClain in Denver last summer, who was stopped by officers responding to a 911 call about a suspicious person wearing a ski mask. His family later said McClain wore ski masks because he had a blood condition that made him feel cold.
Police put the 23-year-old massage therapist in a chokehold twice and pressed their body weight into him. When the paramedics arrived, they injected him with ketamine, giving him more than 1.5 times the dose he should have received because they incorrectly estimated his weight.
The coroner found that McClain's death was due to "undetermined causes" but did not rule out that the chokehold, in addition to the ketamine, might have contributed to his death.
"Why anyone would be giving ketamine in that circumstance is beyond me," neuroscientist Carl Hart, who is also the chair of Columbia University's psychology department, told NBC. "The major problem here is we should never be ordering any medication, and no one should be taking or given it against their will."
After McClain's death, Colorado's health department opened an investigation into the growing use of ketamine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This, as well as many other things the police do, should be totally illegal. What a messed up system we have. Total bs.

I believe he was suspected to have been on LSD and dancing. Confirm?

In the full article they listed the guy with the spit hood. They said he was experiencing a mental health crisis but didn't elaborate. Also this guy was not injected with K.
Other sources report the autopsy was positive for pcp in his system.

@sk8fast:
I'm not disputing that at all. HamHead was asking specifically about the naked man in this particular article. My reply was in response to that specific question.
