 Justice for Elijah McClain
Elijah McClain was walking home on the evening of 24th August, 2019. He was wearing a black ski mask because he had anemia (Anämie) and became cold easily. A passer by noticed him and called the cops on him because he thought that Elijah was behaving in a suspicious way. Three cops tackled him and threw him to the ground. The medics inserted him a way to big dose of ketamine. He died later in the hospital as he suffered two heart attacks. He was pronounced dead on August 30th, 2019. Until now none of the officers or medics present at the scene were charged.
