Gee, can’t see how this will go entirely wrong:

In a first for Long Beach, fire department paramedics have recently begun helping police subdue people they believe are potentially violent or combative, sometimes by administering a powerful sedative to the person being detained.

Over the past four months, LBFD paramedics have used the drug midazolam on more than three dozen people as part of a new pilot program meant to bolster coordination between the police and fire department, city officials recently announced.

And of course, two paragraphs later:

In two high profile cases in other cities, individuals died after being restrained and then injected with a sedative, though the exact role the sedative played, if any, in the deaths is debated.
