Why was #ElijahMcClain stopped?

Why after it was determined that he was just a guy with a bag of iced tea listening to music did the officers detain, place a chokehold on, and beat #ElijahMcClain?

Why did the officers move their body cams away from view of what they were doing?
Why did they shoot Elijah up with such a high dosage of Ketamine?

How are the officers who killed #ElijahMcClain not in jail?

Would the officers had treated a white kid the same way?

Would the DA have treated the case the same if the kid was white?

#JusticeForElijahMcClain
What happened to #ElijahMcClain was textbook police targeting and abuse. What’s sad is the whole system is designed to protect bad officers so it keeps happening. The cops lied about it, the DA overlooked the abuse, the police dept. accepted the abuse, and the cycle continues.
We need to end #QualifiedImmunity

We need to take responsibility for accountability away from just the depts themselves and the DAs.

We need to have independent police review boards.

We need to reroute resources from police departments, especially abusive and failing ones.
