Elijah McClain

Elijah Jovan McClain was 23 years old when he was killed while walking home on August 24th 2019, in Aurora, Colorado. He was a massage therapist , a musician and a runner.
In the evening of August 24th, a person had called 911 after seeing Elijah walking down the street with a ski mask and moving his arms.
Friends of McClain were later interviewed, and they said that he was probably dancing.
The caller affirmed that he didn't think Elijah was armed or that he was an "immediate danger". 
Officers Jason Rosenblatt, Randy Roedema and Nathan Woodyard held Elijah on the ground for 15 minutes. McClain was obviously in distress and vomited several times to which he apologized, saying "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to do that, I can't breathe correctly". Woodyard then applied a chokehold on Elijah's neck, while another threatened him to be bitten by police dogs as he is handcuffed to the ground. 
Paramedics then injected him with 500mg of ketamine to "reduce his agitation". McClain suffered two cardiac arrests while taken to the hospital. He was declared dead on August 30th 2019.
During the encounter, one of the body cameras of the officers was unnatached from his uniform, but the audio can still be heard. In the recording of another camera, we can hear an officer telling the other to move his camera away.
The McClain attorney accused the officers of purposely taking the cameras off to support their false allegation that Elijah was reaching for their gun. 
No charges were filled against any of the officers to this day.

Malik Thomas

Malik Thomas was 9 years old when he was BURNED ALIVE in Arizona, on May 22, 2006. Malik was murdered by the son of a white police officer and another classmate of his. They showered him with gasoline and set fire to the child and are still free after 14 years. The police had released very little information about the murder and after two weeks, they still said that ic could be an accident.  Another child, who was Mexican, said that he was also targeted for attack but ran before they could catch him. The officers said that he was playing and found a bottle of gasoline and proceeded to throw lit matches at it, which makes no sense, because even a kid would know not to play with fire. sign JUSTICE FOR MALIK here
