Won’t matter. People will find a way to justify killing him.
The cops administered too much ketamine?
That caught my attention too. I’ve never heard of the police doing that before.
Possibly the paramedics did.
“The paramedics administered ketamine to sedate McClain, and an adverse reaction to the drug could not be ruled out.”
from article.
Same stuff given to Tony Timpa and others. Just learned that recently myself...
Wow. So the cops put him in a carotid restraint (whoever thought cops having that in their arsenal was a good idea needs to be shot) and then gave him too much of a date-rape drug (see previous parenthetical). Heartbreaking is the right word. This is just wrong.
Never heard of that either.
I have to comment though....so many people put down female cops because they are not strong enough to take down a guy....well there were at least 7 men there to take down this one guy....it took 7 of them....
people should not die just because they're not being good little boy scouts yes sir/no sir......
I didn’t see anything suggesting excessive force considering he was resisting and fighting against the officers pretty much from the get go. Further repeatedly telling him to stop....he didn’t.
My father told me ‘never attempt to flee or fight the police. They will win whatever they have to do.
He also recommended to note who or what was going on around me and don't speak to strangers and don't act like a wise guy. People. as he said, are strange and you never know what will trigger someone. This man's disabilities also removed normal common sense and situational awareness (not paranoid behavior).
7 cops were there but all 7 didn’t take him down.
Do you think that is really ALL it was ? Why did this normally 'polite' man suddenly have the strength to overpower 6-7 armed and fully grown men ?
In the initial footage, I did not see any reasonable suspicion for a stop.
Neither do I. Someone called 911 and said a man wearing a ski mask was behaving oddly. That was it. No crime was committed.
None of that leads you to inject someone with 500mg of ketamine, which is what they did. If he was drunk or intoxicated at all, it would be instantly lethal.
Aurora has been dirty for a long time, and that is just wrong.
