⚠️ Distressing images ⚠️ "I am an introvert, I'm just different." He was 23. He was walking home from a convenience store. Elijah McClain died in police custody after someone called the police because he was wearing a ski mask out.

07/01/2020 22:22Are any of the police that administer the Ketamine even trained in proper drug dosages based on body weight? I really really doubt that and why are we using narcotics to control people that have already been detained?! Disgusting....

06/30/2020 01:54Ketamine a powerful horse tranquilliser used by police when they have already subdued anyone by means of excessive force is wrong, not to mention yet another case of racial profiling. Since when do officers get to decide what punishment to dish out on unsuspecting citizens who are simply trying to go about their day? Enough surely has to be enough.

06/30/2020 01:43So very heartbroken that this happened to an innocent young man who just wanted to go home. The police used excessive force in this case. What’s right is right, and what’s wring is wrong, no matter the color of your skin. We are on this Earth to help each other along the way. Why couldn’t they have just questioned him and learned about who he was. My son is an introvert and I can just imagine him being “strong hold”! Rip in peace sweet Elijah!
