Elijah McClain’s ‘Greatest Crime Was Walking Home While Being Black’ | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
What is going on in the world today. Humanity has truly lost it’s way.
Oppression is the feeling when Privilege is challenged
Should say what is going on in America today
In the World today ???
@Sabledoux You’ve been alive for 400 years???
@Shockreaper My DNA the material that makes “me” exceeds 400 years. If you feel you have no connection with your ancestors, keep it to yourself and don’t project.
EMT and police are guilty of murder of this gentle soul, heartbreaks for him and his family
Police or The Medics need to be accountable for his death. But this has Nothing to do with Race. He could of been Green and they would of did the same thing. He just happened to be black. So the Media makes it look racist with the title. SMH.. So Sad !!!
W (Twin) H no I know from experience that police are overly aggressive with black people , they just are and it’s worse in population where there is less blacks
Like Colorado, once when I was a kid 10 or 11 years old a white friend of mine was playing Indiana Jones like kids do after a movie comes out in the creek behind his apartments and a sheriff stuck his gun in my face right up to my cheek and said if you move I will blow your head off ! Anyone could see we were just two kids playing why would you do that to a kid ? Didn’t do that to my white friend , just me , had other cops say disparaging comments to me as a child? Why do countless young black Americans all have similar interactions with the police? We all have stories, is everyone lying? Or do we really have a race problem , I’ll wait.
Joe DeBose 🙏🏼😢❤️
@Joe DeBose #EXACTLY
@Joe DeBose The problem can be fixed if The police chief would get rid of the bad officers. And I’m pretty sure they know who they are. Just like in the black community The officers in the police force are scared to Snitch on one another. As Americans, We all need to start being truthful and do what’s right. “Regardless”. Lying and doing the Wrong things always leads to bad and negative outcomes. Common Sense. Simple as that !!!
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere ” – Martin Luther King.
Peaceful protests are a waste of time when the animal you confront only understands violence and death. There are 30,000 protesters for each PIG. Only 10% need arm themselves with the silent weapons of urban warfare. In order to waste all the PIGs in just 5 hours. Remember there is a finite number of PIGs. Once they have been exterminated; that is it. There are no more coming.
So where are the “good cops” we keep hearing about? Where are the arrests and charges? Cops murdered another… National police reform… now… the influence of police unions needs to end.
The good cops couldn’t get backup on dangerous calls, so they did the smart thing for their families and left.
@Wade Stanton no good cops if they won’t stand up to the bad pigs.
@Damien Let’s call them smart cops. They weren’t even getting backup against the bad cops from their own municipalities. Why stick around?
This is truly disgusting . The so called American dream is a fraud
@Sultan Nazer NO,,, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CASES,, A POLICE USING EXCESSIVE VIOLENCE AGAINST WHITE FOLKS… MANY CASES… THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS,, YOU SEE SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE ,MARCHING WITH THE PROTESTERS!! WE’VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO…..
@Alehia klorian Really? Tell that to Barack Obama.
@Jake Baba #BINGO
@John Edward …THIS IS WHAT WHITE AMERICA WANTED AFTER OBAMA.!! THEY FELT BETRAYED, LEFT BEHIND & AS IF THEY HAD TAKEN A BACK SEAT TO WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO BELIEVE THAT AMERICA IS SUPPOSE TO BE WHITE & WHITNESS/POWER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WATER..!!! #FACTS
@Cyrene the Cat And they still hate him for it, trying their best to smear him.
Just friggin disgusting, those EMT and police officers need to be prosecuted to the full extend of the law. The fact that those cops turned away their body cam is an admission of their guilt.
The positive thing brought us George Floyd is that now many cases of murder of African Americans by police hands will be reopened and (I hope) the families of the deceased will finally be able to get the TRUTH and JUSTICE from it.
@M F Lets hope so
There is some body can footage, it isn’t the greatest.

You mean like refusing to take a breathalyzer is an admission of guilt?
Why? Everything was done by the book.
And if you attempted to defend your life and fought back against these criminal, murderous cops,
and if you injured one of them slightly with just a bloody nose or something,
you can be sure the full, crushing weight of the law would come down on you like a ton of bricks.
THAT needs to change.
Absolutely.
cop gets a hangnail,
crushes citizen’s windpipe with a baton
This is so freaking Sad! He didn’t deserve to be treated that way!
Poor little boy. Who disliked this? Probably Trump supporters
Or people who hates race baiting, is there any point in the entire interaction that they bring up race? Then why did MSNBC name the video this way
@Brad Aiello let me guess “U voted 4 Trump and ur going to again right” ? Don’t be a sheep .
@lucky C bro great answer
Threw up from the pain and cop says “I’ll get the dog to bite you”. Who these raised these people man? How can you see someone in so much pain and have no empathy and feeling to help? That is the mindset of a KILLER not a PROTECTOR.
Brinx Willing to act as killers towards someone who was walking from a gas station with ice tea? Right.
Brinx think about how painful it is to throw up while being choked.
*”How can you see someone in so much pain and have no empathy and feeling to help?” because they see the enemy and the enemy is black skin regards of who wearing it*
It doesn’t matter how many times I hear this I still feel disgusted. What he went through is disgusting. I would like for the cops that did this to be held down and have the same thing done to them… empathy training. How do you like it now????
to expand on that……THE MINDSET OF RACIST KILLERS!
An angel killed…Murdered by those demons… They are evil…
Both the police and EMS involved ALL need to pay severely for this.
Totally disgusting, these police and EMT need to be prosecuted for murder.
the american dream is only for the white elite, their end is near.
From they were Vikings and Romans…..pillaging….burning
..stealing. Fair play please. The Native Americans summed it up…..’they’ speak in forked tongues. Still the blood is in me. I can neither turn from Africa or embrace a racist Klan. My mind …..skin …… heart is where you will see peace reside…..where both meet. The rest of you haters ….go ahead and continue your killing with the cowardly gun. I was made in lblack and white love so I’ll be OK as too the others like me. Understand though…..lay a hand on my Black father mother sister brother cousin friend uncle aunt grandfather grandmother step brother step sister college friend nursery school friend friend of a friend brother/ sister-in-law newborn baby niece or nephew and IF NO JUSTICE NO PEACE.
Can’t find any dirt on this young man,but they will try.
They will demonize him for killing plants.
Let’s see how long it take for him to go from a violin player to a “thug”. And the lie that he got into an altercation na u killed him!
This is even more heartbreaking than George Floyd. This was a good person who was wronged by police and then the emt , shocking. He sounds like a lovely caring boy shame on all of them may God get revenge on them
If they can murder Elijah, they can murder anyone.
A vegetarian who played the violin at animal shelters. The world is a sadder darker colder place without Elijah McClain. RIP.
@Frank k what you speak is nonsense. And you know that. You just bored or evil.
@Mr Misanthrope no you are just mislead, do you need to hear facts our are you just going to call me a racist if you dont like the truth?
@Frank k The truth is that you’re evil and I don’t like it but I accept it.
@Mr Misanthrope the fact is that that you know that facts don’t lie and you do anything to justify a false narrative by a corrupt organization back by democrats who just want their votes……. keep calling be names like the devil, because I know thats all you got and your not going to bully me, read facts dont be blinded by color
@Frank k the video is literally evidence. However your tricknology won’t work. What ever you say doesn’t give the police excuitioner status. Even though you would prefer it.
You talk about fact but won’t answer @Mum MoniQ comments.
**THE CURTAIN HAS BEEN PULLED BACK,,, ON AMERICA’S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.. WE HAVE MILITARIZED THE POLICE,, AND MANY OF OUR POLICE ARE BRUTAL AND SADISTIC… BECAUSE OF POLICE UNIONS AND THE CONTRACTS THEY HAVE,, THE AVERAGE CITIZEN CANNOT PROTECT THEMSELVES,, FROM POLICE BRUTALITY***
They need to be punished.
So when a mass shooter starts taking people out, do YOU stop what ur doing to go stop them…NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! The POLICE do! They save millions of lives and would take a bullet for YOU, your comments are not factual and DISGUSTING
