Have you guys seen this or heard about Elijah! Please watch!! And help! Link in bio! —————— #Repost @hollyrpeete ・・・ Check link in bio for call to action items! Thank you, Pan Cooke for allowing me to use your amazing art content. This is very simple. This young man’s life was taken because he was black and different. Why are folks calling 911 on people minding their business????Your life mattered, Elijah. There must be justice for you!!!! ✊🏾💯❤️🙏🏽 #aurorapd @justiceforelijahmcclain #Repost @thefakepan ・・・ Elijah McClain. @justiceforelijahmcclain . . . Additional info – Elijah vomited several times while being restrained when the police confronted him he told them he was about to turn his music down. He was injected with ketamine because he was understandably in incredible distress. . . #sayhisname #elijahmcclain #Repost @hoodyharrelson ・・・ They consistently murder us without repercussions. There's so many stories you haven't heard but need to hear. This is the story of Elijah McClain, he deserves justice as much as Breonna Taylor & George Floyd. Thanks to @thefakepan for illustrating the stories of my people. @justiceforelijahmcclain

Aurora, Colorado Still Seeking New Independent Review of Elijah McClain’s Death-Written By @Pistolwhippedya ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Interests into the death of #ElijahMcClain has garnered national attention in the aftermath of the in-custody death of #GeorgeFloyd. Activists have flooded the emails and voicemails of law enforcement agencies in #Aurora, CO, demanding the death of Elijah McClain be reexamined. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The renewed flood of calls and emails prompted #MichaelBryant, Aurora’s interim manager of communications to release the following statement regarding the demand for independent review: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “The City Council and City Manager are working together to identify a new independent review of the city’s response in the Elijah McClain case. Currently, we’re considering a team of experts from across the country to be involved and provide insight from different perspectives, but the exact participants have not been selected. We are committed to seeing this process move forward quickly to help restore our residents’ trust in the city and its police department.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last summer, Aurora police responded to a suspicious person in the area. Upon arrival, they encountered McClain, who was walking home from getting his brother an iced tea. Reports claim a struggle between officers and the victim took place, causing officers to use a carotid hold to restrain him and to administer a sedative to help him calm down. MSN reports that McClain went into cardiac arrest and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died ….to read the rest log on to BallerAlert.com (clickable link on profile)

This is Kimmie Duncan, my 14 year-old older brother. My Dad found Kimmie hanging from a tree several houses down from where we lived in a white mans yard. This was in 2003, Durham, North Carolina and I was 8 years old. … The police investigation went no where. They called it a suicide, said that he was into gang activity and skipped school. Kimmie went to Jordan High. Apparently, the day before he died he got beat up by some racist guys at the school. Apparently, kids wanted to write an article about him after his death, but the school wouldn’t allow it. Apparently, there was no ladder at the scene of his death. And according to the autopsy he ate Mac&Cheese just before he died. There’s still many questions surrounding why by brother got hung. Since the police called it a suicide, that is what I told people happened to my brother. I say this to protect myself. My dad told me that if he was white and had more money he would’ve hired a private investigator. The time to share this is now for me. The brother of your friend Dunc was lynched because he was a black boy. I did not want to write this..(I typed the first line countless times shaking). I asked for permission from dad, sis and little bro to say this and make a mural of Kimmie. I’m sharing this because I want people to understand why WE ALL are hurt right now and protesting. I want other people who are scared to share their truths to speak up. I don’t want people to feel sorry for me. I want people to feel sorry for the black men and women out there who are crying. No man should ever have to see his son hanging from a tree, shot in the street or strangled by police. No man. Understand that most of you guys are lucky and privileged that you are not black. Saying this is my deepest truth I never wanted to tell anyone since I was 8, but I’m tired of seeing people that I know not realize they have friends who are painfully experiencing this. I’m tired of those who befriend black people and stab them in the back at the same time. IM TIRED OF WATCHING BLACK PEOPLE BEATEN AND KILLED. So please, if you follow me and read this, post BLACK LIVES MATTER, at the very least! #blacklivesmatter I love you Kimmie
