Aurora still working to form new independent review of Elijah McClain's death

it’s a sensitive topic but it still
needs to be fact checked there’s a video
circulating online from the sister of
Elijah MacLean and he died after an
encounter with Aurora police last summer
in that video his sister claims that the
three out three of the officers involved
now work with the Denver Police
Department we checked with DPD and they
tell us that’s just simply not true
McLane died last year after a struggle
with officers he was put in a carotid
hold and given medication he then went
into cardiac arrest
the officers were cleared of wrongdoing
and an independent review of the case
was launched earlier this year but
that’s now back to square one after
pushback from members of City Council
earlier this month the independent
investigator was dropped over concerns
he would not be unbiased he’s a former
police officer and a lawyer who has
previously defended police officers we
checked with the city of Aurora and we
still don’t have a new investigator to
look into that case
