Ok.
So the stop/arrest was illegal.
He likely fought the cops (bad idea).
And the Paramedics who where called OD'd him.
Not 100% the cops fault.
Quote:
paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec administered ketamine to McClain to sedate him.[6][4] While on scene McClain went into cardiac arrest. Three days after arriving at the hospital, he was declared brain dead, and was removed from life support on August 30.[7]
McClain's autopsy was inconclusive and the cause of death was listed as undetermined by the coroner. Aurora Police officers met with the coroner before his announcement, and police investigators were also present during the autopsy.[8] On June 24, 2020, after a social media outcry and Aurora lawmakers' requests for a new, third-party investigation into McClain's death,[9] Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced his administration would reexamine the case.[10] Five days later, photos that were taken in October 2019 which showed officers posing inappropriately and reenacting the carotid restraint used on McClain, taken at the site he was detained, were discovered. One officer resigned and three were fired.[11]
In February 2021, an investigative report ordered by the City Council was released. The investigation found that the police officers involved in McClain's death did not have the legal basis to stop, restrain, or frisk him. The report questioned the police officers' statements, criticized the medical responders' decision to inject McClain with a sedative, and admonished the police department for failing to do a serious questioning of the officers following McClain's death.[12] In September 2021, the three police officers (Woodyard, Rosenblatt and Roedema) and two paramedics (Cooper and Cichuniec) were charged through a Colorado grand jury with manslaughter and other lesser charges for the death of Elijah McClain.[4][13][14]
