This case is tragic.
Put these animals cops in jail for life member cops are not above the laws
A kind soul whose life was brutally horrifically stolen from him.
Rest in peace, Elijah McClain.
White people
Being killed in the hands of the group of people who swore to prevent death must have been scary. Rest in peace Elijah.
They robbed the world of such a beautiful , gentle intelligent soul , all while assuming that he must be a gangster or lying about his anemia when he really did nothing wrong. I hope they realize what a light they robbed the world of
If BLACKS were to stop committing so much crime (which will NEVER happen), then the police might STOP SUSPECTING THEM. And when will BLACK PEOPLE SIMPLY START TO COOPERATE WITH POLICE??? The police aren't out there to deliver flowers and chocolates, ya know. Someone called about a suspicious black man with a mask on, so the police came out. All Elijah had to do, was simply COOPERATE. But he CHOSE not to.

Convict them all they murdered Elijah ‼️ #justiceforElijahMcClain #JusticeForElijah #sayhisname #ElijahMcClain #EndRacismBuildPeace #stoppolicebrutallity #BLMForever #BlackLivesStillMatter
Is the paramedic guilty too? Sounds like the medical examiner ruled the cause of death from the ketamine.
I think about this kid from time to time, and i live thousands of miles from where he was murdered. I can't imagine the pain his family has to endure.
Uh oh people, so basically what they're is that their protest will most likely end in a looting of their local Wal-Mart or Target stores. Got it👍
All about race. Pretty soon black people shouldn’t be arrested or even questioned 😂
Keep it up society. Pretty soon nobody will want to be police or EMS. You will soon reep what you sow.
How can you convict a cop of the death but now go after EMS? Smh. Its like a person having heart disease but ssying they died of COVID, because the had it in their system.
Cops get called to suspicious circumstances all the time. If you don’t let them do their job then how can they determine if a crime is/was committed?
Good 👏🏽
The Karen that called the police should be on trial too! Walking while black a death sentence in amerika!
The initial responding officer that was yelling, Stop! Stop! that went hands on right away, hope that dirtbag is not the one that got acquitted.
Police is rarely found guilty. EMTs tho, good luck to them. They dont have the protections cops do.
This would top of all the headlines and there would be rioting in the streets if this was during a Republican presidency.
Elijah's family, friends and society failed him. They should have taught him to not be stupid.
I’d take 1 Elijah McClain over a thousand of these psychopathic corrupt police officers.
WOW 🎉🎉🎉🎉BYEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!! GOOOD HE DESERVES MUCHHHHH WORSE ! What a PSYCHO going up to a CHILD and ATTACKING him!!!!! The Devil gonna get you in the PRISON HONEY !
Crimes of "cops" are having very serious problems of humanity. 🤯🤯
Good!
🤎 This is just the beginning for ⚖️, but 🙏🏼rest easy now #ElijahMcClain 🎻🎼🫂
EMS should be JAILED FOR LIFE
I see this kid's dad every so often in passing. (The CO metro area is small) Last I spoke to him he was in a real rough spot coordinating with Elijah's mother and pushing forward on the trial. This is bittersweet but I hope the next time I see him if ever, we can share a moment over the remaining convictions.
But why was he wearing a ski mask?
Hey look, a spy ballon…
