The move 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.

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.

    Theres a damn good reason why historically everyone from backwoods rednecks to civil rights activists fucking hated cops. Hell both groups still do to some degree, sure a good number of boomer and gen x rednecks are boot lickers but silent, millenials, and gen z rednecks tend to still hate em. I shouldnt have to elaborate why civil rights activists still hate cops.
