Colorado officers placed on leave after photos near site of Elijah McClain's death

Officers applied a chokehold during the confrontation, authorities have said. McClain went into cardiac arrest and was later taken off life support.The caller who reported a suspicious person said that someone wearing a mask was walking on Billings Street and looks"sketchy," but makes no mention of any crime, according to audio of the call.

Caitlin Zotigh, who traveled from Loveland, Colo., raises a sign she painted herself with an image of Elijah McClain doing something he often did while alive, playing a violin, during a march in protest against the death of McClain and police injustice in Aurora, Colo., on June 27, 2020.McClain often wore a ski mask when he felt cold, his family has said.

Police said in a statement at the time that"the male would not stop walking down the street from the officer" and"resisted contact, a struggle ensued, and he was taken into custody."He suffered cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital after paramedics administered a sedative to calm him. He was later declared brain dead and taken off life support less than a week later.

The coroner for Adams and Broomfield counties found that McClain's death was due to"undetermined causes." The coroner did not rule out whether the police chokehold, in addition to the sedative, might have contributed to his death.

Officer depictions by an angry crowd demanding justice afford the officers safety and protections that Elijah never got! 🤬 A young black man was murdered for looking suspicious (what does that even mean)?!

WTF! My heart breaks for this family.

To be fair’ below your post you should have the same when a white man is killed by police What are the stats for both? ‘ you’ve been BShitting for years’ Weinstein. Epstein. About Trump’ . ‘

Cops are animals

I've know several people who were in law enforcement over the years and I would be very disappointed to learn any one of them behaved like this. The guys I've known were very helpful and respectful.

paid leave what a joke

I don’t expect much from pigs just as I don’t expect much from the Nazi in the WH. 🤮

Here comes the time of the eternal protest; animals are jerks. cats dogs and horses don't get eaten. The rest of us are in the purview of the diplomats. Which is my way of saying run.

I'm not attacking violin players or killing innocent black kids and I don't even get to go on a free vacation right now

Devil worshipping democrats are still pining for a race war because they know that they are going to get their own asses handed to them by the American people on November 3rd.

I can only imagine what these photos contain if they haven’t been released yet
