AURORA, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Colorado Attorney General announced on Wednesday that a special grand jury indicted three Aurora police officers and two paramedics in connection with the 2019 death of Elijah McClain.
Aurora police officers Nathan Woodyard and Randy Roedema, former officer Jason Rosenblatt and paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Lt. Peter Cichuniec on 32 counts, according to AG Phil Weiser.
The indictment comes two years after 23-year-old Elijah McClain died after he was detained by police and injected with a sedative known as ketamine by paramedics.

I don't think I'll be watching the video of this one. The George Floyd video fucked me up bad for a couple weeks and it took me a long time after that to feel somewhat normal.

Oh man the police departments's press release is a very special kind of fuck you.

"nothing has changed. Our officers did nothing wrong. Sadly, Mr. McClain died due to a combination of exertion due to his decision to violently resist arrest and a pre-existing heart condition. The hysterical overreaction to this case has severely damaged the police department. Inevitably, the public are the ones who've paid the price."

Of all the unjustified police killings over the past few years, this one probably infuriates me the most

Ive seen people defend the cops in this situation. Honestly, if you think the cops here were justified, you need to go fuck yourself with a jackhammer.

casual reminder that some police officers showed up to a memorial for McClain and took selfies mocking his death

Elijah McClain's death is really fucking sad. When I first read the whole story, the videos of him at work, his coworkers comments on how great of a person he was, I couldn't help but cry. That shit is so fucked up man.

leave it to the cops to victim blame an autistic pacifist for resisting an arrest for the crime of existing while black

Let's also not forget that the Aurora PD broke up, with pepper spray, a candle light vigil for McClain where people were playing violins.

It's very telling that Rosenblatt wasn't fired for his participation in literal murder, but for making the department look bad by laughing about it. Jfc.

He was a (likely?) autistic teenager who had the cops called because he was dancing down the street. He pleaded with him that he was just an introvert and that he was weird but wasnt dangerous. The cops had EMTs inject him with tranquilizers. They used so much that it killed him.

Like theres plenty more to the story but its the most depressing thing imaginable. Its the most egregious case of they just dont see this person as a human.

The cops were called because he was walking around in the middle of the night in full black long sleeves/pants and a ski mask in the middle of summer, in an area w/ very high crime rate and break ins. Not because he was simply "dancing down the street."

This definitely does not justify his death or the way the cops/paramedics acted after they got the call, however.

It was at night.
We was listening to music and dancing.
The caller even said he didn't look armed or pose an immediate threat.
