police tranquilize

Nashville's best-kept secret: Police can tranquilize perps at will
A WSMV-TV investigation surprised nearly everyone when it reported that for almost two years now, police have had discretionary authority to inject the drug Midazolam (aka Versed) into unruly perps. That's an off-label use; it's normally an anesthetic for, e.g., colonoscopies. (Bonus: It induces amnesia and so has the added benefit of being unchallengeable legally 'cause you can't remember what the hell happened to you) WSMV-TV via MSNBC
