Quote from the link in the OP
The Aurora Police Department later said that a 911 caller had reported a “suspicious person” in a ski mask, and that when officers confronted McClain — who was not armed and had not committed any kind of crime — he “resisted arrest.”
let’s see, summertime and he is walking down the street with a ski mask. Nothing unusual there.
The officers try to stop him and he doesn’t comply.
Don’t misinterpret me, his death is sad, but had he stopped and complied with their lawful orders, he would most likely be still alive today.
Also from the same link:
who subsequently said McClain “resisted contact” and continued down the street.
In other words he ingnored the police and kept on moving.
Due to the level of physical force applied while restraining the subject and his agitated mental state,” officers then called Aurora First Responders,
That is another way of saying he was out of control. Which is why they used a sedative.
if we are going to intellectually honest, we have to look at both sides of what happened.
