Colorado’s law enforcement officers will no longer recognize “excited delirium” after a state regulatory board voted to strike the controversial diagnosis on Friday from all training documents starting in January.
The move, which was passed at the state Peace Officers Standards and Training board meeting unanimously and without debate, comes as two Aurora paramedics face felony charges for giving Elijah McClain, an unarmed, innocent Black man, an overdose of ketamine, in part, because they believed he was suffering from the condition.
EMTs don’t want to stand up to police because police officers like to threaten them if they don’t follow what the cops say to do.
EMTs have no basis to stand up to cops on matters of security.
A cop deciding someone needs ketamine isn’t security.
Go wash the boot polish off your face.
Lol what? Nothing in my statement aligns with your reply

Lol. Sounds like you don’t work in emergency services. EMTs lead on medical, fire on emergency conditions / the event, and police on security.
