I don't think it's inappropriate either. But we should note that police do not have expertise regarding the administration of drugs.

Someone with no expertise in a field can suggest anything they want to. Those with expertise who are actually making the decisions need to be held to account for them.

I absolutely agree that the folks pushing the drugs are the ones responsible.

My point is that it is reasonable for police to say "we're getting our asses kicked, this isn't working, can you sedate this person?"
