Elijah McLain's murder 2/?
Here wee see Elijah first get put in a chokehold and beg for his breath he's clearly terrified and not sure why he is under arrest. Which is fair because there was never a crime reported.

Elijah McLain's murder part 3/? Here we see Elijah beg for forgiveness. Trying to justify his humanity. He is clearly unwell from the chokeholds he says he still can't breathe and is puking.
Elijah McClains murder part 4/?
Here we see their excuse they say he "grabbed for the gun" there is no video evidence of this and the officer even said he never felt anything touch him. Then an officer threatened to have a K9 unit attack someone in custody.

Elijah McLain's murder part 5/?
Elijah is put in an impossible position. If you are out in a position your body doesn't want to be in you without conscious control will try to move. They then inject him with ketamine to sedate him after already losing consciousness once.

Elijah McLain's murder part 6/? Here we see Elijah get injected with the ketamine strapped to a gurney and while in the ambulance go into cardiac arrest. You see the officers say that he is likely going to be dead and say they need to stop talking to protect themselves.

Elijah was never accused of any crime he went into cardiac arrest twice and was brain dead when he got to the hospital. His family pulled life support several days later. This man was murdered for looking suspicious and being scared. The DA said their was no wrongdoing.
