After a video surfaced of George Floyd being murdered by Minneapolis police, 15-year-old Kellen started a petition demanding justice. It's now the biggest petition ever on Change.org and officers have been arrested and charged. But we haven't yet seen justice. You can sign the petition here to send a message that Black lives matter.

August 24th, 2019, 23-year-old Elijah McClain was walking home after buying some tea at a local convenience store. According to Elijah's family, Elijah, who was anemic, preferred to wear a ski mask to keep his face warm while he was walking. The Aurora Police Department received a call of a "suspicious man". This call resulted in Elijah's death. After the McClain family requested the bodycam footage from the officers on scene it was reported that in the footage,

"He is laying on the ground vomiting, he is begging, he is saying, 'I can't breathe.' One of the officers says, 'Don't move again. If you move again, I'm calling in a dog to bite you,'" -Mari Newman (the McClain's lawyer)

When the paramedics arrived they administered a dose of Ketamine to the already unconscious Elijah to "sedate" him. He was pronounced dead August 27th, 2019, at only 23 years old of a heart attack. Denver 7 News stated, "...they couldn’t determine whether McClain's death was an accident, was due to natural causes, or is a homicide related to the police department's use of a carotid hold". The officers on the scene were placed on temporary leave, however, they are back in the field with no charges.

Sign this petition to bring justice for Elijah. Demand these officers are taken off duty, and that a more in-depth investigation is held.

"She said the hospital didn’t give them a choice of whether to take him off life support, and Aurora police officers stood outside her son’s hospital room the entire time he was there, making it difficult to find the privacy needed to say goodbye."

:mjcry:

And she is hurt because no one showed up like folks did for George Floyd.

I'm sure plenty of families feel some type of way that their children didn't make folks stand up.

Hopefully this case can be reopened:mjcry:

I got no more words for this shyt man.

It’s the reality we as Black people have to live with whether we step outside our doors or even just being in our own homes minding our business.

Elijah McClain used to play violin to animals to calm them down. Crazy
