Elijah McClain was walking home when police restrained him, choking him unconscious, and injecting him with ketamine.
After McClain’s death, the coroner reported cause of death as “undetermined.” They lied!
The original coroner said “a combination of factors could have killed” McClain. But now, an amended autopsy submitted by forensic pathologist Dr. Stephen Cina states:
"This dosage of ketamine was too much for this individual and it resulted in an overdose.” Cina continued, "McClain would most likely be alive but for the administration of ketamine."
It gets worse.
Between 1980 to 2018 police killed 31,000 Americans, with Black people killed 3.5 times more often than whites. Of those killings, 55 percent were listed by coroners as “another cause of death.”
That’s because many coroners fail to report police involvement on death certificates, leaving more room for “undetermined death” listings. This, paired with coroners working closely with police AND their being elected into their positions, smells VERY fishy.
It’s one HUGE cover story, one that’s lasted generations. How many “Elijah McClain’s” have been medically erased?
McClain was a sweet, introverted man who always used his manners — even as police choked him.
Every aspect of the legal system is corrupt — we MUST defund police. Most importantly, like McClain, we can’t let their evilness corrupt us.
