The video shows that police escalated every chance they got.
After receiving a phone call of a “suspicious person” they went from in their car to hands on Elijah in less than 10s.
In a matter of minutes Elijah was on the ground surrounded by a dozen officers.
They’re saying “was he suspected of anything”, “why are we here”?
They don’t even know why they’re there... but they know that they need to indiscriminately dominate a young black man until he’s puking and crying and ultimately has a heart attack.
Ridiculously agitated, my foot. They (Police) create the situation, then they (Police) prescribe ketamine. These are not the people who should be making these calls. No one should be allowed to have this kind of latitude when dealing with another human.
