Police Department Behind Elijah McClain's Death Is Wildly Racist, State AG Finds
Months before George Floyd was murdered by police in Minneapolis, the death of Elijah McClain in Aurora, Colorado, sparked broad outrage at what critics painted as lethal brutality by racist cops.
On Wednesday, state attorney general Phil Weiser added new fuel to the fire, releasing a damning probe that detailed systemic racism in the department behind the young mans brutal demise.
In August 2019, McClain, a 23-year-old Black man, was walking home in Aurora when local police tackled him and handcuffed him after 911 calls had flagged a sketchy person in the area. Later, McClainwho was wearing a ski mask and listening to music at the time of his run-in with policewas sedated by fire rescue personnel with a large dose of ketamine.
The young man went into cardiac arrest, and died three days later in a hospital. The cause of death was listed as undetermined in a coroners report.
A large protest movement around McClains death put pressure on police, andbuoyed by the national wave of rage after Floyds murderhelped push lawmakers to pass a sweeping police accountability bill giving the state AG new power to go after local cops.
