  1. It’s Colorado, it gets cold there. I might wear a mask too.

  2. My friend is thin and skinny he is cold 🥶 when I’m hot it’s weird

  3. This kid was about 130 pounds we gotta stop letting them use the age old stereotype that black people are subhumans with super human strength when it suits there narrative. He didn't deserve to die sinply for "disobeying a lawful order" black people have the right to walk home from the store…

  4. Its taken 4yrs to bring these 🐖 s to justice and they will probably walk as expected. And there are so many more of these cowards all over the USA that will never be brought to justice. Karma is a bitch.

  5. The officers escalated the situation willingly so they should be held accountable.

  6. 🤔🤔 why is walking with groceries SUSPICIOUS, but only for Black People? Ohh and we pay taxes for this 😡😡😡

  7. PRISON! why did they murder an innocent citizens for wearing a mask? It's like when cops shoot a black guy for jogging in a white neighborhood.

  8. Nòoo Surprise Domestic WYTEE Terrorist in AmeriKkka. "Looks Suspicious" While walking home from the Store with ICE TEA 🤨

  9. They need to be in jail for the rest of their lives. Any one can be selected for execution at anytime

  10. I hope that the "caller" never sleeps in peace again.

  11. The person who called 911 should share responsibility for the death of Elijah.

  12. This is taking waaay to long. They are GILTY and should all receive LIFE IN PRISON.

  13. AMERICA, THE LAND OF PROMISE they say. Well, karma has a way of getting us whether you are an individual committing acts of violence against another human being, or a group of people doing same or a name oppressing another, some day, the good Lord, Nature or whatever or whoever is higher than us all will come calling. You will be weighed and found wanting and hope then, you enjoy your reward of JUSTICE.

  14. FINALLY! omg it took so long

  15. Killer cops prison for lifeon perol

  16. That young man's death was a tragedy, an obscenity, and an outrage

  17. Question: Why did it take four years. Everyone that was there are culpable to McCain"s death which should be charged as murder. What about the person that made the original phone call, they to are culpable. If you want someone that you don't like killed just make a phone call. Do you think the Mafia may start using the same tactics to have someone sent to Australia (in reference to down under as in under the earth)? Oh don't forget to say "I think he has a gun", that should seal his fate. Just Sayin'.

  18. I’m Black and these Cops did nothing wrong.
    This guy was a fricking weirdo!!
    And did not follow the officers orders.

  19. That caller is a low down scrub. I hope it has nightmares forever.

  20. KKK Cops – Longest Killing Gang in AMERICA!

  21. They must be bullied when high school and can't control their anger management

  22. Both paramedic and police killed him, for no apparent reason.

  23. That was like a year before everyone had to wear a mask. Should have never had your hand on him. Its murder. Let it be known all the judges and attorneys who have reduced this crime your souls are now on trial. You have slain an angel in the streets and this pandemic is only the begining if things to come. Keep up the good work.

  24. They are White. They are gonna get free without any repercussions. Is Disgusting.

  25. Karen….YOU SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL!!!!@ they shot that poor man full of ketamine without even knowing what else he had in his system!

  26. Never let them out….a complete and utter disgrace. That poor young man wasn't bothering ANYONE!@

  27. I hope these disgusting individuals gets the justice they deserve. They are truly the real murderers out there. All of this force applied for absolutely nothing. This family must also go after the caller who made this bogus call too. This man paid him for the goods he took from that store! Absolutely no crime was committed. A young man is now dead for no reason at all! When you see things going real bad like this and the police with their brutality getting worse by the day, one tends to wonder what it will be like for black people and their civil rights in a few years from now!

  28. Just a few bad apples…who keeps picking this fruit ….the people at the top of the tree are rotten…fun fact they changed the policy …no more ketamine injections in the field ….thanks 😮too little to late …life and civil suits for all …..so they cant move to texas and become officer of the year candidates ….which has happened 😢

  29. This was worst than George Floyd…..ketamine under their orders is murder …

  30. He was black and he was out after dark. No way these cops are quilty.

  31. Sounds like the "Caller" should also be hold accountable for false accusations.

  32. How in the world is ketamine a gd idea

  33. Support our police 🚔 we need them. He kind of resisted

  34. They better subpoena the 911 caller so their name becomes public record. In a just world all 5 of them would be extinguished.

  35. That was so white hearted…

  36. Cops are not "good guys".
    Cops are humans.
    And every one of them knew the job came with a gun, authority, and a ridiculous lack of accountability.

  37. Prosecutors are idiots, and then some. But the cops had zero right to stop this guy. Send them all down.
