☆ City in Colorado Pays $1.9 Million to Black Family Wrongfully Detained by Police
  + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Livia Albeck-Ripka | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Five members of a Black family who were wrongfully detained at gunpoint in Aurora, Colo., in 2020 by police officers who mistook their S.U.V. for a vehicle that had been stolen received $1.9 million to settle their lawsuit against the city, the family’s lawyer said Monday. A widely shared video of the episode showed four children lying on the ground in a parking lot, crying and screaming as several officers stood over them, sparking further outrage over a department already mired in controversy over the 2019 death of a Black man and its use of excessive force. The settlement was reached several months ago but remained confidential because there are children involved, David Lane, the lawyer, said by phone Monday. It is divided equally among Ms. Gilliam, her nieces, sister and daughter, he added, noting that the younger children will need to wait until they turn 18 to be able to access their share.

☆ Jury finds Colorado officer not guilty in Elijah McClain's killing

... Acquire Licensing Rights Read moreLONGMONT, Colorado, Nov 6 (Reuters) - A Colorado jury found police officer Nathan Woodyard not guilty of manslaughter in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain, a young Black man who died after police placed him in a chokehold during an arrest and medics injected him with a sedative. Two paramedics face separate trials this month for their role in giving McClain ketamine, a powerful sedative at times used on highly agitated patients. The death of McClain, 23, inspired sweeping police reforms in Colorado in 2020, including the banning of chokeholds like the one he was put in. "Nathan Woodyard did not kill Elijah McClain, he's not responsible for what other people did," defense attorney Andrew Ho said in his closing argument. "Ketamine is what killed Elijah McClain."

☆ First Trial in the Death of Elijah McClain Expected to Start This Week

Why It MattersMr. McClain’s death in August 2019 drew new scrutiny after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis nine months later. The May 2020 killing of Mr. Floyd, videotaped by a bystander, ignited a national movement around police brutality and racial injustice. Mr. McClain’s death was quickly linked with the deaths of Mr. Floyd and Breonna Taylor, a Black medical worker who was shot and killed by the Louisville police in a botched no-knock raid. In addition, the death of Mr. McClain set in motion multiple investigations into the Aurora Police Department resulting in a state consent decree as well as local reform efforts. At the time the police stopped Mr. McClain, he was wearing a dark mask (his mother said he had anemia which could make him cold) and waving his arms.

☆ The Trials of Aurora: A Colorado City’s Deep Divide Over Policing

I asked him if he thought good policing was possible. “The policing problem is that you have 90 percent good police officers, but that 10 percent or 5 percent, whatever the scientific number is, is enough to taint it. “There have been so many questionable incidents with the police involving Black residents,” Mayes said. Like Black voters across the country who have indicated support for fair policing in national polls, they took pains to explain that they were not against policing itself. “It’s just really hurtful,” Fields told a local radio station when the news broke.

June 11 (Reuters) - (This story contains graphic language in paragraph 9)Police in Aurora, Colorado, have released body camera footage following the death of a teenager who was shot by an officer after an alleged robbery. Richardson, who was shot in the abdomen, later died at the hospital, police said. "Gun, gun, let go of the fucking gun," Gruszeczka said. The body camera footage released by police does not show whether Richardson ever pointed the weapon at the officers. Richardson's family reviewed the footage before its public release, and Acevedo said he has been in contact with family members.

Woodyard, who placed McClain in a chokehold, forcing him into unconsciousness, will be tried alone. That night, three Aurora police officers responded to a report of a suspicious person wearing a mask and waving his arms. Police body camera video released later showed officers ordering McClain to stop. He responded that he was an introvert and to “please respect the boundaries that I am speaking.” After questioning McClain, the officers grabbed him. One of them said he believed McClain had reached for a holstered gun, and McClain was brought to the ground.
