A Colorado jury on Friday found two paramedics guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Elijah McClain near his home in Aurora. The 23-year-old Black man was walking home in 2019 when he was confronted by police officers who forcibly restrained him and then the Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics – Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec – injected him with ketamine.
He went into cardiac arrest in an ambulance a few minutes later and died three days later.
Did the paramedics ever say why? Were they just being sadistic and toying with him or was something else going on? Either way, what the fuck…
I could be wrong, but I recall it being “the cops said to”.
