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.

    Cops are not trained of medical personnel, and have ulterior motives

      When someone dies and police are involved the officers should be arrested and held with pay until we know it wasn’t police brutality or other foul play on their part

        I loathe cops as much as anyone, but you’ve proposed a fine way to cripple all law enforcement.
