I don't know why the jury didn't see it that way. The police lied to the EMTs causing the overdose.

That's bothered me during this entire case, who was it that called 911 on him? They said he "looked" suspicious! Absolutely outrageous!!

They were charged only after the state investigated. Two officers were tried together and the junior officer was acquitted, while the senior officer was found guilty of a lesser misdemeanor. The second trial was for the officer who put Elijah in the improper carotid hold. That jury acquitted him, which I almost couldn't believe as I watched that one. They have already rehired him and he's back on the street. Aurora PD is so racist that the state still has an oversight contract on them.

​@@usmale49The caller was a 17-year-old kid who said "the guy is acting weird and wearing a ski mask."

First, it wasn’t the shop owner, it was somebody who saw him on the street. Second, it’s not unreasonable to call the police on somebody who you think is acting suspicious, and wearing a ski mask in August while acting unusual would constitute suspicious. The problem was the initial officers taking it from 0 to 100 instantly, and the paramedics administering ketamine for no reason. Just because the call was handled. Atrociously doesn’t mean the initial call was in the wrong.

@@valerierodgerthe irony is that walking around with a covered up face became normalized during the pandemic and still is. And this incident occurred just before that.

@@bettysmith4527I wish we did .that will teach them to mind their business

Ketamine is a sedative that has been shown to have analgesic and sedating properties, without taking away respiratory drive. So in English terms, it reduces pain and makes them chill out and feel like a noodle. Overall the choice of drug given depends on department policies for excited delirium. Some might say versed is the proper choice, some might say ketamine. Every department has different policies depending on their medical director. So 3 different departments in 1 city might have 3 different treatments in how to treat the pt.

Cops aren't known for active listening skills...

As an x-ray technician and former plumber, I too agree with the verdict decision!

They're 'heroes,' though, aren't they?😅

No, the cops don’t walk away. If you don’t know anything about the case, maybe you should just stay silent. Or you could try educating yourself. One was convicted. Of the two acquitted, one had already been fired in 2020.

I think people who love waving those blue stripe American flags or wearing shirts with them, love and support cops who do this stuff.

After Elijah McClain was k!lled, the Aurora Police Association put out a statement basically saying "our officers did nothing wrong". Two months after that, the president of that same association was fired for sending out an email to its members saying things like "To match the ‘diversity’ of ‘the community’ we could make sure to hire 10% illegal aliens, 50% weed smokers, 10% crackheads, and a few ch!ld m0lesters and murderers to round it out. You know, so we can make the department look like the ‘community.'" He was apparently referring to efforts being made at the time to make the police department more diverse in the wake of Elijah's death.

That’s sickening!

I have an Elijah Tshirt 😅

@@mikealan1984 yes

Ketamine is frequently used in the pre-hospital environment by paramedics and physicians, and is safe in the right patient at the right dose.

Yeah it only became a thing in about the last decade or so. The reason it was added was for multi-purpose use. Has analgesic properties at low doses, is a bit more hemodynamically advantageous than other agents for RSI, and can be great for patients who are on multiple stimulants refractory to Versed. Compared to Versed, it can do a better job protecting respiratory drive and hypotension (assuming the dosing is correct). Versed is more advantageous for those patients with severe hypertension, cardiac disease, or the elderly (which seems to be debated).

@@Maddawg31415How important is checking the patient's vital signs before administering ketamine? Would bypassing that check be appropriate in a rapidly deteriorating case? How likely is someone's vitals to become critical after receiving ketamine?

Let me guess… California?😂

Remove law enforcement qualified immunity.

Where have you been? the state actually legalized them giving it to people on the side of the road against their will this isn't the first death.

When Wikipedia copy & paste is your friend…

The National Association of EMS Physicians supports the use of ketamine in the prehospital setting

That is what I was thinking. Ketamine is dangerous. Why is it legal to use on anyone against their will.

If you did more googling you’d understand when and why it’s appropriate. Sedating a person who is going to be intubated for one, pain/sedative for someone who is opiate tolerant, someone who is combative and violent… it’s actually quite safe if given the right dose. Imagine being a paramedic and transporting a patient who’s been severely injured in an accident, the have to be able to administer medications. EMS have their own set of protocols or call in for orders.

We don't. There are 650,000 911 calls made per day in America. These are the only ones you hear about.

Good dont call them help yourself

Dumbest thing I've ever read.

Do you really think they purposely murdered this man? Do you also believe the police were responsible for the care the paramedics gave?

Mello dramatic much.

There’s no reason for him to be charged, and he didn’t call the cops on him for just walking down the street.

@@valerierodgerIf they didn’t call the cops for that reason, then what reason do you think it was? There’s no other purpose to call the cops unless you see something suspicious or feel threatened.

@@Timmybabim well I was airlifted to the hospital in a helicopter and paramedics in there with me. This was back in 1993 so I don’t know if the rules have changed.

This young man didn’t have to die like that. 😞✌🏼

@@KZfaqr5775-your statements are entirely incorrect. In all 50 states paramedics can administer roughly 30 medications. Fentanyl being one, but that wasn’t what was used in this case. It was ketamine. Ketamine is an excellent analgesic drug as well as a sedative in the prehospital setting.

@@RRM00 I have only been a patient and I didn’t know that paramedics could give you any medication without a doctors referral. I begged for help when I was airlifted to the hospital for a Mva. I was only 36 years old and my son was just 10 years old when we were going to his karate class. I took him there and we left and we went to a local restaurant to have dinner and we were bringing a plate home to my husband. It was a 35 mph speed limit on a residential road that was very much like a rollercoaster. So this car was going over 75 mph and she lost control of the car and the headlights were heading towards our car so in seconds I turned the wheel towards the fence so the car would hit me and not my son. It was a natural reaction for a parent to do that, and protect my son. He had glass in his mouth and imbedded in his hair from the windshield. We were both spitting out glass and he said “are you okay?” I said “no I’m not okay and I can’t feel my legs.” I was cut out of the car to take me by ambulance in a helicopter to a trauma hospital in Seattle. They cut my clothes off with scissors and put a blanket over me. Then they took the blanket off and left me on the metal table completely naked. I was ignored for almost two hours later and I thought I died, but nobody told me I was dead. I lifted my head up to see faces looking at me and staring at me like a slab of meat. I could hear people screaming and moaning in pain all around me as I laid on the table. I thought this must be another dimension of my life and I died. Then several doctors came to me and said “what do we have here?” I said please don’t touch my shoulder it hurts so badly that I can’t take it. My shoulder was broken in several places so it required surgery but I was in shock and couldn’t walk for months because my pelvis was broken in 4 places, and the doctors said if I put weight on it I would be paralyzed. I had broken ribs, a punctured bladder and I literally hurt all over my body. I was on 6 mg of morphine and the doctor said “does she take anything at home?” My husband said no because I didn’t need anything at all I felt so good. I was just 36 years old when it happened so I felt great. The experience changed everything in my life and it made my son feel like he didn’t have a mother or father. His dad was working hard to make sure that everything went smoothly, but sadly the focus was on me and not him. He started stealing my medications from me and he denied doing anything wrong.

So, your husband makes a mistake and you drop him? What about your vows? Now you second point is well made.
