First it was 3 cops with serious charges and 2 paramedics with lesser charges. Now it's reversed. See what they did. They'd rather have 2 whites in jail instead of 3 and the 3 are cops. This is bs. Just think about it.
That's what you get with working with the police
Don’t be a thug???
Story time. Let me say this. I'm 12 clean from all drugs, I was an IV heroin user and have done every type of drugs in existence. Heavy drugs like narcotics have nothing on pharmaceutical ketamine. In 2018 I had a minor stroke, and while being forced to lay flat on my back after sleeping for 8 hours mostly on my back my scoliosis was SCREAMING and the pain in my body was unbearable and I was about to freak out it hurt so bad after hours and hours on my back. Anyways because of all the monitoring they needed to do, I was not allowed any pills or iv medication and they could only do a 1 time shot of muscle relaxer or something. No sedatives nothing helpful and my only option offered was ketamine. It made me higher than I'd been on any other drugs in my life. After several minutes I was able to speak again .. the nurse asked how I was feeling and I said it felt like someone could cut out a piece of my body and I'd never know. It was the most bizarre high ever. And I hated it. I'll never allow it to be administered again. It's not for the faint of heart I'll say that. It doesnt last forever and the whole point for me was it was something to allow my body to relax and let time pass cus I was hyper focused on the pain. Time did pass bit it was bizarre. Do not recommend lol
Justice for Elijah McClain! The police handcuffed and drugged him. Rest in peace, honor, justice, and dignity.
wow them dirty pigs 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
They got to get a box or a trap like a mouse trap to put people.in
The officer are just as guilty as the paramedics regardless they had no reason to stop and restrain him anyone with common sense could easily tell that this young man was special needs all they saw was a black man who they wanted to do harm to that evening 😡😡😡😡
So the police are going around injecting people with drugs and killing them now sounds pretty par for the course
Cover-up
Who gave them the permission to do this? Nobody wants to die like this
Bury the officers and paramedics under the jail.
I never knew paramedic could administer any sort of drug…🤔
how about rephrasing the title
And the police officer who lied that he tried to reach for his gun as a justification to pin him down should be charged as well
Lethal injection … Ok . That's murder.
Now, when will this gentle soul and his family get R E A L justice for what they did to him. Come on, this gentle young man played violin for shelter animals to calm them down. SMMH. All whom partook in Mr. Elijahs' death need life in bars and law suits. They took one of Earth's gentle Angel from us.
Except that he would never have been given ketamine if the cops hadn't decided to have an impromptu wrestling match on the sidewalk for no reason. The paramedics wouldn't have just rushed over and injected him with anything at all if the cops had chosen to just calmly and respectfully interact with him.
The cops AND paramedics caused his death. You can't have one without the other.
Cops don't know people have disabilities that's the problem they should be trained
So sad
I still think the cops are mostly responsible for his death. The kid weighed about 115 lbs. or so. The cops could have easily put cuffs on him without much force. And, c'mon people – @:43 "during" is misspelled. You can do better.
Dirty cops always existed but before it was exception, not the rule. Now it's becoming normal for them to act like they're judge, jury & executioner. Nothing improves until enough people stand up against atrocities of the kind happened to this young man.
Those hero cops at it again.
True evil and cruelty. Rip kiddo. He's playing his music for kittens right now.
You no what Im thinking we make a special badge for us they pull theres y can't we I I no someone can come up with the best one of a kind badge that say we are aware we are watching are love ones what if we could show we are apart of something what I we can show are badge and united we are
We have done a thorough investigation found nothing was done incorrectly….go evil Trumpist. i'm sure the corner was persuaded to change in favor of the police
So there trying to cover for this cop and did there were drugs involved? Why am I not surprised.
This is once again of the perfect example of blacks and all you other clowns being hypocritical and pathetic. You can watch the news all day every day seeing blacks killing other blacks at an alarming rate and you sit completely silent doing absolutely nothing, yet a cop "kills" a black and you go berserk and cry wolf like no other. How many young black kids and toddlers have die by getting gunned down by adult blacks before you get upset??? What a sad sorry group of people you are
Had the police not attacked Elijah, the EMT’s would not have been called to the scene. This young man was murdered, by first responders, police and EMT’s!
How about that!!!
Murdered for by the cops, that’s what killed him.
Racist corrupt cops killed him.
I have told you to Be STILL and Keep your PEACE. Our God is still working in Miraculous ways even if You can't SEE it. Why do you say that where is God? Don't you know that our Creator created you in His own image? (Genesis 1:27) like you He is a Living Being but is our God. You are a proof that there is a Higher being than all of us. Believe in Him as He is not a father of confusion (lies, deception, temptation) but a God of truth. Don't you know why we glorify God? it's because He wants to lead us to the Truth that He is the only TRUE God that LOVES you and wants you to have ETERNAL LIFE with Him in Heaven by walking in His ways (John 3:16; Matthew 7:13-14) repent and be born again.
Don't be afraid of what's happening in the world for God will never leave you nor forsakes you if you believe in Him. The fall of mankind happens because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve that is why trusting God with your situation even in difficult times helps you to not repeat the same mistake, He knows what is best for you as He is an omnipotent God. Remember that He is the creator of all living things that is why His wisdom and knowledge is immeasurable.
Lastly, as a CHURCH we must DO our PART to Do our Specific Assignments GIVEN by Our Lord. Do Your PART and Do Not be IGNORANT for Our God is PREPARING US for what is to COME that is WORSE than these. Have Your FAITH be STILL and have a SINCERE Relationship with our Father as ONLY FAITH pleases the Father and Your PURITY helps You to be USED by the Father in a MIGHTY way. We are still HERE Working to Do Our Assignments so Do Yours and Do Not Be A LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN For We are in a SERIOUS SPIRITUAL BATTLE between our SINFUL FLESH, DEMONIC POWERS, And Such. Even THOUGH things are HAPPENING Trust in the Lord Our Savior.
Do Not BE AFRAID for God is Ever Present And Till DEATH We Little Children, For our God will FULFILL our Assignments as What God had CALLED Us to DO. There may be DELAYS on our PART but God will NEVER LEAVE NOR FORSAKE His CHILDREN in TIMES of Tribulation. Now, may the Lord our God gives You Peace even in times of Chaos. May PEACE be with You.
He died cuz he was walking home. Only in America
Someone needs to be held accountable for this MURDER!!!
Elijah did NOTHING wrong and scared racist PIGS stopped him, intimidated him, made him hysterical and then the paramedics injected him with enough ketamine to subdue a 300 pound person while he was only 150 pounds.
This innocent loving soul was taken way too soon and SOMEONE needs to go to prison for it!!!
Welcome to the incompetent and shameless pathological liar Joe Biden's new America of misery, chaos, violence, and death.
He looks like a femboy😂
A young man was alive, the Aurora police intervened and now he is dead. But that’s okay, he was black. How ‘bout this; round them all up and put them in cages for the rest of their lives. No, I mean the people that did this to him.
Cops do more harm then good. I know there’s good officers out there. I knew a few cops that got kicked off the force. My wife had and still has cops in her family.
This poor young man was MURDERED in the street by PIGS and EMS. He did nothing wrong. This is one of the most egregious cases of police and medical misconduct I've ever seen. The people involved need to be criminally prosecuted and jailed and his family deserves a huge civil settlement.
Sick. Just so sick.
Now arrest everyone involved. The EMTs were acting on the orders of the police.
Pigs
