Elijah
McClain
is
dead
and
those
responsible
are
getting
six
figures
and
jobs.

Nathan
Woodyard
was
found
not
guilty
of
manslaughter
and
criminally
negligent
homicide
and
now,
according
to

The
Guardian,
he’s
getting
his
job
back
and
a
fat
check
to
go
along
with
it.
A
spokesperson
for
the
city
of
Aurora
says
that
a
city
law
mandated
that
Woodyard
be
offered
his
job
back
as
a
result
of
the
exonerating
verdict.
Woodyard
was
the
first
officer
to
contact
McClain
after
police
received
a
call
about
a
man
who
“looks
sketchy”
and
eventually
put
the
23-year-old
in
a
chokehold
that
led
him
to
exclaim,
“I
can’t
breathe”
multiple
times.

“[Woodyard]
has
elected
to
reintegrate
with
the
APD
and
is
currently
on
Restricted
Duty
(not
in
uniform,
no
public
contact,
and
no
enforcement
actions)
pending
next
steps
in
the
reintegration
process,”
a
city
spokesperson,
Ryan
Luby,
said
in
an
email

The
caller
made
it
clear
to
the
911
operator
that
McClain
was
not
carrying
any
weapons
and
was
not
causing
damage
or
behaving
in
any
way
that
suggested
that
he
was
violent.
There
was
no
reason
whatsoever
for
Woodyard
and
his
goons
in
blue
should
have
approached
him
with
aggression,
much
less
try
to
subdue
or
arrest
him.
The
last
words
that
Elijah
McClain
can
be
heard
saying
to
officers
are,
“I’m
so
sorry.
I
have
no
gun.
I
don’t
do
that
stuff.
I
don’t
do
any
fighting
…
I
don’t
even
kill
flies!
I
don’t
eat
meat
…
I
respect
all
life
…
Forgive
me!
All
I
was
trying
to
do
was
become
better.”

F**k
this
pig
and
the
jury
that
let
him
slide
on
killing
a
young
Black
man.
Amerikkka
is
trash.
