He was 23 years old when he was murdered by the police for walking home with a mask because he was anemic. ⁠ ⁠ He was a gentle person who would go to the animal shelter to play violin for the animals because he thought that they were lonely in their cages and thought that the music would calm them. He was quirky, a pacifist, a vegetarian, enjoyed running, and known to put a smile on everyones’ face.⁠ ⁠ In August 2019, McClain went to the gas station to buy some iced tea for himself and his cousins. Because he suffered from anemia, a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry enough oxygen to your body’s tissues, he would often wear a ski/runner mask over his face to stay warm. On his way home, the Aurora Police department were called to reports of a “suspicious man”, likely due to McClain wearing his mask for warmth and dancing to the music in his headphones. All he was doing was walking home.⁠ ⁠ He was apprehended by a group of three police officers, despite committing no crime and being unarmed. A struggle occurred, and he was held in a very dangerous carotid hold around his neck while he cried for help, cried out that he couldn’t breathe, cried out that he was nonviolent and couldn’t even kill a fly, and was repeatedly throwing up. He weighed a mere 140 pounds. An officer instructed another to move their body camera out of view. Another threatened to “call in a dog to bite him, if he moved again”. While he was violently restrained they called paramedics who, despite McClain being handcuffed, injected him with ketamine, a drug used to tranquilize horses or in surgeries while properly supervised by anesthesiologist. He went into cardiac arrest, slipped into a coma, and his family was advised to take him off life support 6 days later.⁠ ⁠ The officers involved were placed on temporary leave, however, they are reportedly back in the field with no charges. ⁠ ⁠ Elijah McClain passed away at the age of 23 because of this encounter. #SayHisName #JusticeForElijah via @redfishstream」6月28日 5時31分
