what and why? Specifically, what and why is insane and how is being an anesthesiologist relevant?

Note, I don't think police should inject anyone with a substance (personally, I'd rather get shot with a bullet than involuntarily shot with an anesthetic), but how is being an anesthesiologist relevant?

The question: "should cops direct paramedic to administer K shots" is an ethics, or a religious, question. Not a medical one. Certainly relevant medical questions can inform the debate; questions such as "how to determine safe and effective dosage of an anesthetic in field situations" "What does the person experience when involuntarily subjected to this drug?".

A very important medical question can be: "How lethal is this technique?" So that the technique's lethality can be properly classified for street use.

Subjecting the person to mortal danger is not anesthesiology. It's ethics, law, and religion.

> how is being an anesthesiologist relevant?

Uhhhh anesthesiologists are experts in administratering sedatives to humans safely. The connection here seems pretty obvious to me...

If you re-read my comment, you'll see that "administrating sedatives to humans safely" is specifically what I consider irrelevant.

You comment is pendatic and assumed that OP is commenting specifically on the ethics of this practice. OP could just be commenting on the safety of the practice, where their expertise is highly relavent.
