Elijah McClain should have been celebrating his 30th birthday yesterday. He should be alive today.
Elijah McClain was a 23-year-old Black man who died at the hands of police and paramedics on August 24, 2019, in Aurora, CO. He was walking home from a convenience store, wearing a ski mask because he had a condition that made him cold, and had not committed or been accused of any crime. After a 911 call reported a “suspicious person,” officers stopped him, put him in a chokehold, and forced him to the ground as he repeatedly said he was just trying to get home and had done nothing wrong. While he was restrained, paramedics injected him with 500 milligrams of ketamine, a dose later shown to have been calculated based on a significant overestimate of his weight and far higher than what would have been appropriate for his small frame. He went into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital, was declared brain dead days later, and died on August 30, 2019.

White man tells Grand Rapids Commission that he drove without valid plates for a year and was never pulled over once, says experiment shows racial bias in policing 👀
@TheWiscoIndy @GetWreckedBy47 @RedMedia_us Like any law enforcement agency who pulls you over, you yield. He didn't do that, we see the outcome. His wife is crying over her husband with no regard for the victim.
@TheWiscoIndy @GetWreckedBy47 @RedMedia_us Um, he was here illegally. He was issued an order to leave the country in '24. If he had followed the law, this wouldn't have happened.
