Why the heck are they allowed to just inject people with stuff? He was in handcuffs, unarmed and committed no crimes. This is insane!
welcome to the mental health system
He freaked out, and wasnt cooperating. If he wouldve been relaxed and answered the cop' questions, I believe everything wouldve been ok.
@@Guyle11 So that's what we do now? Choke and drug every person who is nervous and afraid when confronted by armed police? Spin it how you want... there's just no excuse for that level of escalation.
@@Guyle11 They didn't just ask him a question. They immediately closed in on him like he was a criminal and scared him. They escalated it every single step of the way. There was no reason to inject him with anything.
@@Guyle11 They hardly gave him a chance to answer their questions. He says he's an introvert so of course he freaked out because they just grabbed him. He might have even had mental health issues such as anxiety. In my opinion the cops handed the situation extremely poorly and there was no need for such a physical confrontation. There was also no need for the ketamine, Elijah was already in handcuffs. Besides this was on suspicion, they had no proof he had actually done anything so this whole situation was caused by the racist cops, Elijah did nothing wrong and was murdered
Since when did ambulance staff have legal authority to inject someone with a psychoactive substance without knowing his medical history prior? The medical negligence and any doctor or nurse would be fired instantly, and possibly face charges. Hasn’t this been brought into attention yet?
Exactly! I believe it can be unconstitutional and if it's not, it should be!!
Oh believe me, if this was drug was ordered by a physician, that physician could have lost his medical license, even if it was justified but just because the police needed a fall guy. I'm still shocked that ems in the area can even administer a drug like this.
I’m shocked that ems was able to administer this drug as suggested by the police. WOW this was murder and so hateful.
@@cdrm9564I don't know any paramedics. I'm a physician and I've got a background in anesthesia .that's why I was really shocked to see the injected him with ketamine, which is a controlled substance. I don't think it killed him but I also don't it should've been administered. Smh
I understand what the state laws are in Texas after your explanation, I’m from New Zealand, I just find it insanely odd that medical history prior to giving out psychoactive drugs for whatever reason, and there was NO REASON, isn’t known first to the paramedics. In any other scenario it’d actually do a lot of good.
this happened in AUGUST of 2019! this was never in mainstream news, it took a death on camera for his case to come back.
The video was made public in November and the decision for no charges this month. In Colorado, we knew what was going on, but don't know why this never got national attention.
@@sneauxone The reason why this never got national attention was because it does NOT require national attention. Democrats/Media always do this, bring up a case years later and paint is as police brutality when it is not. ruclips.net/video/BI56CZTamrM/видео.html Please watch this. This wasn't a case of corruption, police misconduct or racism. The police were doing their job and should NOT be persecuted for murder. It was an unfortunate situation nonetheless.
start paying attention then. still waiting for mainstream news to tell u whats really going on?
stop making excuses
@@shahrikamin4699 They should be prosecuted, they escalated things unreasonably and after they choke him unconscious for a minute and then started vomiting they lied to EMT so that they could inject him ketamine and whatever they did to him wouldn't be used in a lawsuit.
@@shahrikamin4699 Why don't you go watch the 3 hours of video from the police cameras? View it yourself instead of showing me some hack's video.
its not a crime to be cold, or have social anxiety, or to be different or to dance.
And it won't hurt to just comply, I don't know what's so fucking hard about it.
@@ProjectHana So it really doesn't matter if you're a law abiding citizen or not! That's all BS, because you'll still get stopped by the police for no reason. Or in this case, just being "suspicious" which last I checked wasn't a crime. No mention of a weapon or nothing, nope. Just don't like how the kid looks. See you're view is to defend the officers by saying he should have complied. My view, is that he should have never had this interaction with the police in the first place, because he wasn't a criminal!
xing xu so your telling me if you was in his position and Got body slammed to the ground and pushed against a wall you would comply or not try To stop that??
@@user-nj1zu4dx4p From the beginning he should've been compliant and nothing would've went wrong, he clearly started fighting them and resisting which cost him his life.
марзии don’t try justify His death
140 pound boy “had incredible strength “
They meant they were weak
Pussy cops!!!!
Just like them lying about the kid grabbing the gun while he was already being subdued.
I weigh 135lbs. and have surprised a number of people bigger than me with my strength when I had to defend myself.
one Yeah, actual muscle and skill play a big role. But for 3 trained officers to subdue someone already on the ground and who has little to no training in combat - no offense to the kid, but he's clearly no jock or anything - I highly doubt that the officers were met with such "crazy" strength. I'm more inclined to believe, especially looking at each of their physiques, that they are simply out of shape.
I work in a forensic psychiatric hospital. We have some hard-core mentally ill people here who've committed some extremely violent crimes. AND WE DON'T USE KETAMINE AS A RESTRAINT, even in a safe hospital setting, even with highly trained, specialized medical staff, even with the most dangerous, aggressive patients. THIS WAS HOMICIDE. THE OFFICERS DESERVE CRIMINAL CHARGES.
Nurses deal with delusional people, sick people, mentally ill people EVERY SINGLE DAY and yet I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A SINGLE CASE where a nurse MURDERED their patient for these reasons
"Whatever he is on made him crazy strong" Yea it's called flight or fight and he was in absolute fear for his life. Who knew a mask in Colorado cold weather while black was worth the death penalty. This is America.
Or maybe he just didn’t get the message when a police officer told him to stop and calm down.. or maybe even when the crazy lunatic reached for the officers weapon.. Trying to justify that is absolutely disgusting and pathetic... But I guess you libtards never get the message do you..?
@@dakota481 He clearly had a panicked attack and some other underlying mental condition, but I guess murder is the penalty for resisting arrest now. He didn't reach for the gun, you can clearly tell what that cop was doing the whole time, he knew the cameras were on that's why he was throwing out rehearsed lines "he reach for my gun" " what ever he is own made him crazy strong" he was putting a show to insinuate that he was on drugs and a threat.
Gobando 16 dude you’re totally making that up in your own personal opinion.. That is not factual.. Anything to justify lawless behavior with you people... 👌🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
@@dakota481 the fact is that 3 cops that look like weighted 200lbs+ each couldn't restraint someone weighting 140 lbs and needed to administer anesthesia to get him in a cop car when there were 8 cops there before the emts arrived then maybe they shouldn't be cops.
Gobando 16 he was resisting.. he’s on video say no to a cop that is telling him to stop.. end of discussion
I appreciate when news channels actually show the body cam footage of an incident, sad story...
Yup, sad to see another bite the dust because they don't comply with police.
Dude Bro he complied
@@dudebro6458 he had anemia and autism
@@dudebro6458 are you fucking sped?? Do you not hear what he said he stated that he has a disease which makes him unable to communicate with the officers he froze which made him not comply
“He grabbed your gun”... “whatever he’s on, he has incredible strength” 😔 My gut feeling is that, that was a performance for the camera, so that their actions would be justified. 😭
Exactly!
exactly. it's scary to have such psychopathic liars in positions like police officers to abuse their power over others. just horrible people.
Lyn Roc ye same, feels like they just wanted to rough a kid up.
Exactly what I was thinking. And "He's trying to grab your gun." all lies so the police can justify their actions. And then they have the authority to give ketamine!.? So sad!! Rediculous.
So if someone is walking through your neighborhood at night, wearing a ski mask and hoodie.. That wouldn't be suspicious? Sad situation but his actions caused his death. Suicide.
He played violin for cats at shelters 💔💔
they killed such a caring, loving, talented young man, this is so heartbreaking. and these cowardish, police officers, both bigger than him treat hima as a "threat" when he was peaceful and asked them to respect his boundaries bc he wants to go home :( the man who called the police for no reason has blood on his hands too. if someone is looking suspicious, that's no reason for the police to go anywhere. no police has grounds to bother anyone bc of looking suspicious, especially when the person does nothing at all to harm anyone. and how little the chance is that these terrible paramedics and police officers ever spend one day in jail makes me so hopeless :(
jiop kijo WRONG!
and he resisted arrest 💔💔
Raaid, resisted arrest? Arrest for what? Was he under arrest for resisting arrest before he resisted arrest?
Jeremy Barger if a cop tells you to do something u fucking do it, asswipe, if u don't like it, tough titties said the kitty
“Whatever’s he on, he has incredible strength”. DID THEY ASSUME HE WAS ON DRUGS??!!!
and yet gave him 500mg of k? That makes it 1000 more negligent and they should ABSOLUTELY be charged here. Jesus fucking Christ.
This line was definitely said to try and deflect the blame later on, the cops knew they were being recorded. Same reason why they purposefully obscure the visuals while yelling about Elijah grabbing a gun. They can get away with lying about someone trying to do something if the only ones who can corroborate are the other cops.
Yes, they did and ironically all he is on is his own natural cortisol. It can absolutely give you incredible strength, that's what it's for- fight or flight. He has clinical social anxiety and experiences irrational fight or flight at the mere approach of a person, what do you think will happen when you wrestle him to the ground for no damn reason?
@@Rilatwoma Yes for sure. Also that obvious bullshit "He just grabbed your gun, dude." I just meant that if you're going to try to claim you think he was on something, you should be held accountable for then proceeding to give him a sedative. Uppers and downers don't mix, kids.
Yeah, they did.
ICU nurse here, in my current hospital, we dont administer ketamine unless the patient is on a ventilator and is on continuous cardiac monitor.
I know in other hospitals it's a little different. They give small amounts of ketamine for agitation or after surgery.
"You look suspicious" hes walking home with his groceries man. He aint deserve this 😥
To the people defending the officers :
If Elijah were your son would you say the same things, that he "deserved to die" because he looked “suspicious" and was "resisting arrest."
I get that, but he wasn’t cooperating and he also did kinda look suspicious with the ski mask on
Robbie Tobin He has anemia. He wears the mask so he doesn’t get cold. You’re saying that it’s justified that they killed him because he wore a mask and “kinda” looked suspicious? It just isn’t right. But to each their own. Just please try to put yourself in his shoes.
Azul, alright I didn’t say it was justified, but how are the cops supposed to know that? They have reasonable suspicion for a reason. All that guy had to do was comply with those officers in the first place and he would have been fine. He escalated the situation by not following the cops orders when they were speaking to him.
I do feel bad for the kid but he was wearing a ski mask which is kinda odd and then he started resisting and one of the officers said he grabbed his gun. I don't see this as a racist murder. It seems like they got into an altercation and it had an unfortunate ending and the officers didn't seem happy about it.
Robbie Tobin I see your point and I do agree, the ski mask is questionable but for someone to call the cops on him because he was walking, it didn’t need to be done you know? It is in the past and we are just people so no amount of debates and what if’s will change it. Poor guy, nonetheless.
This is murder straight up. They didn’t take any time to just listen, and check if he was even an actual threat.
Right?!
@@BashenManTV wow. There's no hope for you.
@@BashenManTV not a lot of austistic people follow instructions very well especially one who don't like being touch by people I'm shocked that the media is not highlighting that fact
@Vincent Cuttolo Keep making excuses for these murderers, bootlicker!
@Vincent Cuttolo The only imbecile here is you. I don't see a valid excuse/justification for this man to have been stopped and treated the way that he was simply because he was saying "leave me alone". The police officer's actions were unlawful and completely uncalled for. If they had approached the situation differently, by not within 15 seconds of approaching him shoving him towards a wall, then maybe he too would've handled the situation differently. They had no suspicion of him having committed a crime, nor was he carrying a dangerous weapon, NOR being violent. He simply didn't want to be restrained and had every right to ask for that.
You know what he's on buddy? Cortisol. His own cortisol. He quite obviously has severe social anxiety, and you just assaulted him for no reason on his walk home.
Killed him.
@@Overqualified1 suicide by cop
@@lamarmcalister2449 How was it suicide by cop? Are you trying to start your nonsense that this wasn't just a cold-blooded killing?
@@rocroca7459 when you make the choice A) to wear a mask like that in public you're going to draw attention. B) when the citizens that called the police on him obviously it's common sense NOT TO HAVE A MASK ON. they didn't call them for him having blue Jean's and a tshirt. The mask was why. Now if he had a Legitimate reason to wear the mask then explain that reason to the cops. If he was slow and having a hard time comprehending then his parents put him in danger. So with him making the choice he made to wear that mask and making the choice not to properly identify and resist arrest that's suicide by cop
@@lamarmcalister2449 but he DID identify himself.
Multiple times. Said why he was out that night and where his destination was.
What this video doesn't show is him APOLOGIZING to his murderers for throwing up on them AS they were killing him.
"Relax or I'm gonna have to change the situation!" Wow, that's very comforting.
These bitch ass cops are so violent at this point they need to only give special force officers guns the rest of these bitches need tasers
I mean nothing would've happened to him if he didn't resist and obstruct the investigation....
The energy that first officer engaged Elijah with was wayyyyyyy too aggressive.
Also The fact that two trained officers are claiming that someone who is 5'7, 140lb and anemic was incredibly strong is beyond me.
@SunamiKilla
The fact that I can simply be walking minding my business and be killed by someone WHO'S SUPPOSE TO PROTECT AND SERVE ME!!!!!
Still he asked for other units! 😡😡😡 Did you actually call for backup on a man walking home and being "suspicious"? Stop killing people for nothing!
JOOGAL1111 he didn’t have to ‘relax’ though. If someone (even police) grabbed me like that, I would tense up as well. And I’m not surprised he wasn’t relaxed considering the history America has with police brutality against black people
boo hoo
@Chocolate Smitten
Well said, well said!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah.. 140 lbs 5,6 has incredible strength maybe he's just fighting for his life and it's adrenaline because 3 guys are choking him to death...
@Beau Peep Chill out dude
If three guys we’re choking me I would’ve also fought as hard as I possibly could to save my own life.
I hope these criminals in uniform suffer the legal consequences they deserve

My heart broke for this man and his family. You can hear and see his anxiety and introversion. This is too much 😢
I feel for them too. But officers didn't do anything wrong.
D he was resisting dumbass.. did you not hear him say no to the police officer 50 phuckin times.? 👌🏻🇺🇸
D he was matching the description of the suspect. They told him to stop, he didn’t, he continued to resist arrest and even reached for a gun like an idiot, he was being detained under suspicious behavior so they could verify if it was the suspect or not.

I will never understand how some police officers expect people to "stop tensing up" , "relax" , "chill" , when they are being approached by police, handcuffed and then held down. People are not robots, humans tend to be tense when in stressful situations.

@@cantunderstandfoolishpeeps2036 The U. S. Constitution says that "No person should be deprived of LIBERTY or life, without due process of law--14th Amendment. There is a video from inside the store that shows McClain PAYING FOR HIS MERCHANDISE with a valid bill, not a counterfeit bill. McClain then took his time and bowed to the customer who had been behind him in line. God will repay all killers who choke and make vomit an innocent men who is by himself, just walking down the God can judge and God says that FOOLS make a mock at sin, which means they disobey God's law that says, "Thou shalt not kill."God will repay all sadistic cowardly fools even if a court acquits them. The murderers of Emmett Till were acquitted in a court, but came down with terrible diseases. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God." It is extremely important that the fools who threw down law-abiding McClain had their body cams come off. Even 3 of the George Floyd cops kept their body cams on and there was probable cause and identified witnesses to detain George Floyd.
@@cantunderstandfoolishpeeps2036shut the fuck up. They can’t detain someone for suspicion.

He didn't deserve to die but all he had to do was cooperate with the law.
@@Skycrusher Exactly he acted just like George Floyd did. Instead of just sitting there calmly and finding out what was going on, he started arguing and being combative and trying to run away.

@@janetplanet5677 If I was a cop placing you under arrest, and you began to resist arrest, I'm going to use force to subdue you. You don't force an officer to explain to you why you're being arrested. That's what lawyers are for, and that's what court is for.
By the way, when I hear someone killed by cops is "sweet kind and loving little boy" I usually look up their social media and find images of drug paraphenailia, gangster activity, posing and taking selfies with guns and drugs.
I said "All he had to do was cooperate with the law" and your response was "why?"
Well the answer is, is because if you don't they will fucking kill you. So whenever a police officer tells me to do something, I comply. Not because I'm guilty of anything, but because I give a god damn about my own life and don't want someone with the AUTHORITY to shoot and kill me to SHOOT AND KILL ME.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I hope I helped to educate your uneducated ass about common sense.
"get more units, we're fighting him" is the most disgusting thing to say when dealing with an unarmed man.
disgusting in that they asked for more help vs what? let him go without finding out what was going on? ignore all calls about suspicious activity regardless of the loss of property and life ignoring credible calls could cause?
Why the F did they need more units? It wasn't a gang or terrorists they were dealing with. Absolutely horrifying 😡
He literally was just walking home! They did entirely too much what was wrong with just pulling up n asking him a few questions why did u have to get out and be so forceful
They have an ego. Anything other than theyre orders results in death.
You guys are clearly stupid, he was a suspected of a crime which means he has to cooperate with police, you can clearly see he gets mad and does not cooperate, it is unknown if he has weapons so they have to secure the suspect as fast as possible to ensure no threat to himself, or others the kid still fought and that's when they take him to the ground and unfortunately succumbs to his injuries later, if he literally stopped when told, allowed the police to detain him and then answered their questions he would be alive and at home in 15 mins, but it's the fact he fought and the fact the police have a 16x higher chance of being shot and killed by black males then any other race in america. You cant call police racist for this guys actions. Sorry but be gone uneducated liberal scum
VicationGaming I just commented something like your words on Instagram before I came down to the comment section, at one point he clearly says no when one of the officers says stop resisting and it was even said by one of the cops “he grabbed your gun dude”. This man was not some innocent kid being killed for being black this was a 23 year old that was resisting and wearing a ski mask that made him a suspect of a crime
@@josierose4088 Yeah, because cops would never lie, right. Just say you're fine with police killing people and move on.
@@vicationgaming1634 what crime was he suspected of, exactly?
You people don’t realize that this man was killed for literally no reason. He wore large jackets and ski masks because he was anemic. He was a good person.
Just as a little funfact, police are meant to listen to those they’re detaining in case they have any health issues, mental health issues, etc etc. But they rarely do.
Fun fact. Most people stop and do what police ask they don’t just not listen to them and then also do exactly what they say not to. Like keep walking like them try to fight them. How god damn hard is it for people to just stoop and talk to the cops. They get a call from dispatch to look for that person. It’s not like they just decided to stop him cuz he looked suspicious. Either way u do what police ask and u go home. All this kid had to do was talk to them explain why he wears the stuff and they would of sent him on his way home. Ops don’t know why he wants to be hostile they don’t know why he wants to resist them. Cuz they don’t know him.
Lady M the choke don’t stop oxygen from the brain it stops breathing all together which leads to cardiac arrest. Or u stop blood flow from the brain and u will pass out if held to long u will go into cardiac arrest. When the emts admin that ketamine he was breathing g and no one was choking him. They started cpr In the ambulance. After the the ketamine was admintered. Also why are u administering ketamine to someone not fighting no more. And if he was brain dead like u said cuz of a choke hold why are they admin ketamine if he is lifeless. I’ll tell u why cuz they admin to much ketamine overdosed him and he went into cardiac arrest. Which stopped oxygen to the brain. Which when they got his heart beating again or put on life support he had no brain function. They pulled him off three days later is why he died. Stop believing what media tells u cuz they are only adding fuel to the fire. Why don’t they show all the shootings of guys with weapons or when they are fighting cops cuz it don’t fit there. Cop killer agenda or white cop kills black man
Rest in heaven lil homie smh.
@Patrick Bateman Actually, you do have the right to tell them no unless there is probable cause that you have committed a crime. The 911 caller did not even report a crime. Looking suspicious is not a crime. Police can't treat people like this. They will be fired and charged.
Patrick Bateman you must be white 🤣
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response he deserves everything coming to him ❤️🌸🌺
Patrick Bateman Just stop talking
@Patrick Bateman Insults are for people who are losing an argument.
You certainly can tell the cops no. You know that you have freedom of speech in the USA. Show me law that says you can't. Here is my proof right here that these police violated his rights and he certainly would have been within the law to refuse what they were asking him to do:
"According to the Fourth Amendment, which was clarified in the landmark Terry v. Ohio decision of 1968 by the Supreme Court, a police officer has to have “reasonable suspicion” of criminal activity in order to stop and search a person. "
Taken from this article, "www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/i-m-just-different-the-family-of-elijah-mcclain-a-23-year-old-black-man-killed-by-colorado-cops-almost-a-year-ago-is-still-waiting-for-justice/ar-BB1623zd"
So will there be more insults or an apology?
This is sad, God will take care of him in Heaven.
What a stupid comment.

So cops can give orders to give Ketamine and EMTs just willingly give it? What happened to using their judgement he was unarmed and subdue and handcuffed what was the rationale?
This is a good example of a case where a police response wasn't even necessary

@@debrituashagrie5045 well since he has a disability then he needs to be taught that since this is something beyond your control, and it may cause unwanted attention please obey the cops when they stop abs ask questions. Had he obeyed them and simply just expressed the situation to him no harm no foul. But due to him seeking the attention then you cant fault the cops for it.
@@seanjenkins331 no wearing a mask isnt illegal. But not stopping and talking to the cops after they asked you to solely stop and explain why you're wearing a mask that's what's illegal. What is so hard to understanding to talk and obey the cops??? Cops don't just randomly stop people for no reason. They have so much better shit to be doing. And just think if the person hadnt called 911 nothing would have been done. So how can you be mad at cops for doing what they were called to do??? This is astonishing at how stupid people are
Can anyone actually explain why the ketamine was administered? If this young man went unconscious for several minutes, that seems like enough time for the officers to properly detain him (even if they had no reason to). They had complete control of the situation, I don’t understand. Was it a safety thing? Or did the cops just not feel like dealing with a difficult suspect? This whole thing seems fishy.
Seems fishy??? This is murder. No crime committed. The second they told everyone to start wearing masks I was just waiting for the moment when a black person would be confronted for doing exactly what we were told to do. He lost his life cause of it. So yea saying this "Seems Fishy" is damn near disrespectful to my mans life.
Andy Brinegar A few things. When the carotid hold is used properly (as in this case) the person in the hold momentarily loses consciousness. Consciousness is lost for a few seconds, not a few minutes. Ketamine was administered by paramedics because this was standard protocol in Colorado, not because the police asked them to. Between July 2017 and August 2018 over 400 people in the Denver Metropolitan Area alone were given ketamine by first responders (paramedics & fire fighters). Ketamine is used by first responders as a medically safe way to calm and restrain suspects without the use of additional physical force. Police officers do not have control over paramedics or fire fighters, rather they work in unison, with each being in charge of their expertise.
kevin reid this is definitely murder and horrible situation in the hands of racism and police officers but this happened in august 24, 2019 as stated in the video. So the mask isn’t because of the virus laws
Sounds like thy thought he was on something as thy wer saying something about it making him super strong,dirty fed rats
The mask was because he wasn't well and was wearing it to keep warm his family said, doesn't matter tho the boy went to the shop and them cops took tht boys life

@ravencrone56 what I was implying was that this happened last year and nothing has been done about it nor was it brought out in mainstream media.....and it is extremely upsetting. So when I initially heard this story I thought it was recent and was upset that I found out this was old. Hence the comment “August of last year”.
I got told yesterday that he deserved to die because he decided to 'fight back' with the police... She also said that he shouldn't be wearing a ski mask but he had anemia... so it was for his health! If any of you are bothered by what someone wears in public, especially for their health, then you're the problem and not them! May he rest peacefully.
Thats hear say. Not facts
No one is making an argument for deserving death you moron, go fuck off with that bait.
They were nice at the begining 🤦🏾♂️, he was using a stupid ski mask, If I were him I would have peacefully spoken with the police instead of starting a stupid Fight with them 😑
Cause everyone knows eachothers conditions right? My bad
@@XWhiTexFeath3Rx You would be surprised. I have seen people on Twitter defending the Cops behavior. The world is a sick place
Elijah McClain: *walking home* officer: I have a right to stop you because you’re being suspicious.
That was HORSESH1T.
No he does have the right
lee no he doesn’t you idiot. Learn some basic law.
Well the cops were called because of a suspicious person...
@@dudebro6458 Being "suspicious" in the opinion of some random crazy person isn't a crime and isn't probable cause to detain someone. Cops have to be able to articulate a specific _crime_ that they have reasonable suspicion, based on evidence and facts, that the person has, is, or about to commit that crime in order to legally stop someone.
😭 So wrong. "I want to go home," poor guy. This makes me so sad and I feel sick now. It's just pointless. Nothing about this makes sense. Can't walk home wearing a mask, obviously no weapons, no crime was committed, ugh, just so terribly sad
I find it really impressive that with the naked eye you can see through multiple layers of clothing to know that he doesn't have a weapon. You would be really useful to have with the police! And yes, you cant walk home looking about as suspicious as possible and then not give any ID or name, then resist arrest. He shouldn't have died, but it was his fault.
@@undrcvrsteve6172 It's called serve and protect, not terrorize and murder. Watch the clip again. They immediately grabbed and manhandled him, this was not his fault, your reasoning is way misguided and pretty pathetic. Your lack of right and wrong, as well as empathy, is surely missing.
@Souxsie Darling if he gave any form of ID they would have let him go, but since he refused to give ID they would be letting a possible murderer go. On top of this, he wasn't shot or choked or even overdosed. I don't know what his cause of death was, but it wasn't the cops or the emt's fault.
@@jrbracy they did not immediately grab him, they grabbed him when he started to run away after refusing to give ID. They didn't even bring him to the ground until he started struggling, and they kept him on the ground after he went for an officers gun.
@@undrcvrsteve6172 Are you blind?! @:55 on this video, right when they approach him, the officers grabbed his arms immediately as they stopped him from walking and restrained him, saying he was acting suspicious! He was walking down a lit sidewalk minding his own business! They rough handled him against a building. And where do you get this "possible murderer" BS? The person who called 911 and reported him said he looked suspicious but there were no weapons visible, he was walking home with a convenience store bag of items wearing a jacket and mask, that is not a crime. He was forced to the ground, a chokehold applied, lost consciousness, was vomiting, and these officers couldn't handle him at that point?! Had to have an EMT shoot him up with that shit? I don't know why I'm explaining how WRONG this entire scene is when you still won't see that
He was illegally detained, he was breaking no laws.
Absolutely a reason. A concerned citizen called, they responded. Because he didn't comply it escalated.
Gar Car Uh no.
@@107649365 stfu u stupid shit, he committed no crime at all and was detained for "looking suspicious", of course his going to be angry. The police escalated this and should calmed him down, that's whag the number one thing they teach you when you are training......
Gar Car what Crime did he comment? Hmmm 🤔 I am waiting. Those officers didn’t even ask just automatically assumed he was guilty oh there’s a black male lets arrest him. I can’t state this enough the actions of the police that have been film here recently are why the black community don’t trust the police. Another young innocent brother dead by a group that’s suppose to serve and protect its citizens.... seems like all police do is kill innocent unarmed people especially the blacks ones.....

why did the police decide they were going to give him ketamine? they aren’t trained medical professionals, why did they decide what drugs to give someone? something really isn’t right, this is disgusting
500mg of ketamine?????...... 500???
when standard dosage is 1-2mg/kg
1pound =0.45kg
Wowww.....
How could these people live with the horror of murdering a 23 year old is beyond me. I'm so sorry this happened to you Elijah, I hope you're resting peacefully.
@TJ Murphy who knew that the word murder is racist. I didn't know calling out cops for UNLAWFULLY stopping a man and giving him ketamine is racist.
The cops so happened to be white but I never mentioned anyone's race. Shows where your mind is. Toodaloo weirdo.
Well the cops didnt give him the sedative, the EMTs did, because he was displaying large amounts of strength when he resisted. It's pretty standard procedure.
Cruzkilla88 Do you honestly believe that bs of large strength? They said that fit their narrative. I bet a high school girl can beat him up. He doesn’t have any strength he was getting ganged up by three officers. Don’t be spreading BS online. This isn’t even an argument he was murdered plain wrong. And he was a good citizen on top of that. This is just a demonstration of how Black people get murdered when they’re innocent!
Whoever called 911 needs to be educated too!
He needs the hell beat out of him.
Sad that the kid lost his life but he should have been educated not to walk around at night with a ski mask on and to stop when a cop tells you to stop
Where is the missing footage? Rest in peace kind and gentle soul. 🙏🙏🙏

He was just walking home from the store with his balaclava on for his medical condition...There was no reason to even stop him. Elijah was an Introvert Empath who played violin For sheltered cats. He just bought Iced Tea from the store and just wanted to go home. Why should anyone question him? This is just horrible. #JusticeForElijahMcClain
"Crazy strength"? The 23 year old male is FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE. This is just sickening. I couldn't imagine being a native Canadian, wearing a face mask because it is cold and having the police treat me the same way. Something seriously has to change in the US. You do see it here for sure (Canada) but in no way shape or form as elevated as it is there.
SICKENING.
Cop: “He has being suspicious”
No weapons weapons or suspicious activity involved?? Literally died for no reason
Go back to school.. You sound stupid..
Bigg Dee What’s stupid here?
He had a disability and the police still killed him. No one is perfect on this Earth every person here sins. To kill that young man he was someone family member. He was someone son, grand son, brother and more. I'm sorry this happened I will pray for you. Justice will come one day but for everyone.
They should be in jail. Not just fired.
ashy.t03z I wish officers would stop the hold they use its taken so many people
video show elijah walking with coffee in his hands but officers says that he is acting suspicious. completely unreasonable
You should know the whole story. It was a 911 call for him being suspicious by citizens. So the police responded. Learn before you comment.
hes wearing a ski mask and a hoodie at night, thats suspicious enough! your stupid!
Don't resist arrest lol. A ski mask ain't the most friendly thing to wear.
Dude Bro oh stfu his face was out and he was holding coffee walking home. People like you have no sympathy and it makes me sick..it’s an innocent man who got killed have some respect.

Cops never even took his mask off or ask him for ID
Thats not the point, they didnt have to. Elijah was the one resisting. The officers were being calm and was Elijah that wasnt being calm with them and resisting compliance. This had nothing to do with race either.
Joseph so they didn have to take the masks off??? So why did they have too stop him ? While he was waking home ?
JonnyCashh because there were people at the store who thought he was suspicious and that they felt uncomfortable so they called the cops. This wasn’t just a random person the police saw on the street and decided to arrest
chris x if u listen to the caller and go back to review the store video nobody fits his Hispanic voice ....stop making excuses
Joseph so because this 130lb man was “resisting” three cops they needed to inject the amount of ketamine they would normally give to a 300lb man? Let’s also not forget that he was a young, black man who did NOTHING wrong. I think it’s pretty obvious that he was just scared, not resisting. It is disgusting seeing people trying to defend these officer’s actions.
The suspicious person in the neighborhood most time is your neighbor who’ve you never took time to introduce yourself too cause of your prejudices
This makes me ill. The cops were clearly out of line.
How tho
@@apolloman1608 the cops were out of line because they had no probable cause to stop and detain him. Acting suspicious, as the cop stated, is not a crime. And therefore Elijah was under no obligation to stop and speak with them. Furthermore, the cops escalated the situation.
That's how they were out of hand. The kid died because he was walking home with a mask on.
@@jameslatimer7024 no more crickets. Do you care to refute any of that?
@@pauls3946 the cops can detain someone if there suspicious they just wanted to ask him question then he started to fight he was alive when they gave him to the emt then he died and came back and died 6 days later idk why people are blaming cops for his death how should cops know his condition cuz it still weird for someone to wear a ski mask in August
@@pauls3946 they literally just wanted to ask questions, search him and go. But he ignored them, started to pave away, resisted arrest and grabbed for their guns
Walking while black i hope the person that called the police on him for nothing never have peace in their lives because they are part of this too
so we shouldnt question masked people walked down the street at night? what if it was the reverse, the more common scenario, of someone going out to steal and rob and in the process a homeowner is killed? but don't speak up and call the cops because the minority of cases where its just a random guy in a mask the cops let go in an even smaller minority of cases where an innocent person might end up dead?
@AlexLoeher ruclips.net/video/BI56CZTamrM/видео.html Please watch this. This wasn't a case of corruption, police misconduct or racism. The police were doing their job and should NOT be persecuted for murder. It was an unfortunate situation nonetheless.
question: seems like the police officers knows how to use carotid, but do they know the effects of this if prolonged? i mean, i supposed this is the same case as george Floyd's. both victims plead that they can't breathe, still police ignored it. it's a shame. 😔
@Sparticus Booker Yep and on Sunday, a black man shot his 5 year old neighbor in the head for no reason. Barely any mention of it on MSM and absolutely NO mention of the race of the murderer or the victim. You think that info would be left out if a white man shot and killed a black 5 year old? The bias is beyond ridiculous.
Procras Tinator okay but this isn’t about anyone but Elijah don’t change the subject period! Also no arrest should result in death at the end of the day especially if they are unarmed! Did you guys even watch the video and hear the bs coming out that cops mouth? He said he had incredible strength? This mans looks like a stick he was getting beat by 3 bigger men... don’t you ever try to justify this death with your disgusting mindset!

This is the country we’re in.... smh this is absolutely unnecessary and uncalled for. They just took a woman’s child, a good soul to society, he died minding his own business trying to get home. I think every officer in this incident were cowards.
Lazy excuses for police officers, making all of the good ones look bad
SunamiKilla
They’re a pretty small percentage despite that
@SunamiKilla except the number of deaths during arrests are minuscule (1004 in 2019, including justified shootings) in comparison to total police arrests (10 million) and total police interactions with citizens (60 million). investigate and stop any unjustified force or killings. but the bad cops ARE the minority.
Why didn’t he just cooperate with them? Why did he resist and fight back? This happened unnecessarily. Both parties are at fault here.
Yeah cowards cause they asked a man wearing a mask and the cops had been called to talk to them. And address the need for the mask right??? Fuck it. Ski mask for everyone and guns
notice a male karen called the cops
no one deserves to die but with all these deaths there seems to be a trend in resisting arrest :confused:
All of them, huh?
.
Also, I think I missed the part where "resisting arrest" is punishable without trial by summary execution.*
.
Was he running away? No. He wasn't go anywhere. He was on foot, outnumbered and out horsed. So here's my take-away:
.
With many of these deaths, there seems to be a trend in lacking patience among the responding officers. Think of how many people have died simply because an officer refuses to wait a second. This guy was headed home. An adversarial police encounter was not on his agenda for the night. The police deal with this stuff all the time. Ordinary citizens do not. The onus is on the police officer to make sure it goes well, without taking someone's life.
.
* I'm aware you said "no one deserves to die", but generally people only say that first thing so they can say the second thing without getting called out. I don't play by those rules.
Who administered the ketamine???
exactly, I want the name of the person who injected it. we have a right to know and to see them in prison, especially the police officers who requested it and justified it with ridiculous lies in the first place.
I've been reading up on it, and the use of sedatives is apparently legal. That shocks me, that it can legally be done without knowledge of a persons health and/or drug history (be it legal or illicit). I know that prior to my doc prescribing me something, she asks about everything that I'm currently taking (allergy meds, birth control, etc...) What gives them immunity to this due dilligence? It may sound a little naive, but if they "feel" someone is resisting, why can't there be a body binding apparatus, like a straight jacket without the sleeves, and perhaps stick a pillow under the persons head. It always has to be the utter extreme. Sad.
@@jewelqueen5949 My honest answer to the alternative form of restraint you mentioned being used in the field, we have all seen how difficult it can be for even several officers to control an individual enough just to get handcuffs on at times, more difficult/time consuming options likely just aren't feasible. And even after handcuffs are applied, a person can still cause serious bodily harm to themselves or others. As far as the prehospital use of sedatives in EMS, they can be administered under the same premise as any other medicine, if the patient is unconscious, not breathing, in cardiac arrest, or altered, EMS often times wont be able to gain a full medical history in the field, but medicines are still administered as necessary to treat life threatening conditions, and protect the patient from potential harm to themselves or others. Whether meds were actually called for in this particular incident is a whole different debate that I wouldn't even pretend I know enough about to weigh in on, but those are the general rules of how or why those meds are administered, and why several meds are given in the prehospital setting when a full medical history can be unlikely or sometimes impossible to obtain on scene.
@Tiny McPoop Clearly, you're the more educated of the two. smh
The emt
This would of instantly killed my wife. That’s the risk to calm someone down? No checking to see if they’re allergic to anything? Wtf? They straight murdered that kid.

The initial confrontation was far from perfect, but if someone is “under suspicion, they could be questioned/ and or detained for questioning. Although the situation escalated way to quickly on the police side. And the medication wasn’t the right move either. So being pro- law enforcement, I blame most of it on Police, just like I blame Chauvin too.
Christopher Steppat but you see after 19 seconds elijah was already starting to resist that's why the cops was already attempting to arrest. If anybody is being stopped because the cops received a call of the person being suspicious and that person is starting to resist then that will make the cops believe that he or she has committed a crime, if elijah would have kept calm all the time things would have ended up differently don't you think?
william D. You clearly hear him explain why hes getting upset. these cops should be big boys and listen when some uses their words instead of suffocating kids. some people have disabilities as well that might affect touch, so if someone tells them to let go because they’re making them afraid, they probably should.

You have to be a different type of evil, to kill one of gods actual angels he sent to bring love out of people. Jail is the least of their karma
It is stuff like this that makes me go out and march, despite concerns over the Coronavirus. I am in a low-risk group and I will gladly risk my health for what is right- something that these corrupt officers _clearly_ do not understand.
go march then you big dummy!
I wonder what would have happened if he had just said "Yes officer, how can I help you?" "Here is my ID. OK, thank you officer, have a nice night".
You mean bend over and let the government violate his rights? If you weren't racist you'd be angry that the cops violated the constitution and murdered him.
Wtf why do you need more police for one guy he ain’t even that big
Exactly, he called for "more units" like they had to deal with a whole gang. Murderers! Will it ever end?
cuz he has "CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZY STRENGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This needs to stop
R.I.P. Young King! A beautiful soul gone to soon that was much needed on this earth to balance out these wicked souls. This is so sad and hard to watch. All of the cops involved must be fired, lose their pensions and go to prison. They never gave him or had a legit reason for stoping him and he was never properly arrested or read any rights. As well as the person who made the felonious phone call about him to begin with needs to be arrested because they’re the catalyst for all this starting.
the person who called 911 should go to jail? you seriously cannot be that stupid. i refuse to believe anyone can be as stupid as you
Grosbeak Ferns nothing wrong with being the King of weirdos , there’s people that find you weird too. Burglars don’t walk around with ski masks on after they’ve robbed someone. You reaching
He was obviously scared and startled when they approach him! They should have done their job by calming him down and using a calmer caring voice and explain they are they just checking up on him. But once the officer said “I’m going to change the situation” they are clearly the ones that came with the aggression. If that’s not a bully with a badge i don’t know what is.
thats aggressive? who raised you winnie the pooh?
Ignorance at its finest, if they could have change their tone and made it that they are there to help instead of putting him a choke hold!! Idk about Winnie the Pooh Mentality mentality you speak of. But clearly shows your Priorities are else where.
