"You are i'm tanya bosley. I'm scott tong. It's here and now two years ago in aurora colorado twenty-three-year-old blackman. Elijah mclean died in police. Custody after he was put in a chokehold and injected with a powerful sedative now a new state report finds that aurora police and fire rescue have routinely violated state and federal law. Here's colorado attorney. General phill wiser. These actions are unacceptable. They hurt the people. That law enforcement is entrusted to protect and they destroy community trust. Now we have allison sherry justice reporter with colorado public radio. Allison what did we learn in this report about who tends to get arrested. In aurora and what forces used yes so in a state investigators found that aurora. Police has engaged in racially biased policing and used inappropriate force against residents for the last five or so years. And i have some numbers here. I'll go through quick later. Found that use of force against people of color was used almost two point five times more than whites based on their relative percentage of the population and nearly half of the people whom they used force against where black even though black residents make up about fifteen percent of the population. The other thing that they this report found is that aurora police arrested people of color one point three times more than white space from the population. Well i mean. Those numbers are are striking. I look quickly at this report. Which is pretty comprehensive. It also goes into a paramedics. We know that in elijah mcclain's case paramedics injected him with ketamine sedative. The autopsy was inconclusive as far as he died. But but what does this report. Say about the illegal use of ketamine by first responders. Yeah yes because men. Because of mclean's death the agency is halted its ketamine use but investigators found that in the year before that paramedics administered ketamine twenty two times for this condition called excited delirium and in more than half of those incidents. Paramedics failed to follow ketamine monitoring protocols. Like watching someone's heart rate watching their breathing. After the gave him the sedative. Investigators also found and this happened with elijah mclean. They administered ketamine at times at doses. Way above the maximum allowed for that weight of the person. So wait is a big deal when you're administering ketamine and they weren't getting the proper way before giving them the dosage and and does this report go into the y. Here why this pattern and practice of illegal behavior Are there kind of cultural reasons in in police and fire rescue here. You cultural reasons. And i think that's a big part of it. It's hard to kind of get at wise in police agency but this report did talk a little bit about police training which i thought was interesting. How the the training academy for the aurora police department has recently made a ton of changes. But before that it was a little bit militaristic in style. The cadets were assigned quote unquote battle buddies. They were yelled at personally embarrassed for mistakes. They're not doing that anymore. But clearly a lot of people who came up and our current officers there went through this sort of training culture. And i also think they've had a lot of leadership changes. They have brand new police chief. A lot of the more experienced officers feel like there's been some mixed messages at the top right. That's awesome sherry justice supporter with colorado public radio. Thanks so much thank you. Alison recently. Talked with mcclain's mother. Chenine mclean about the ways. Her life has changed since she lost her son. Her report adds depth and context to these latest developments. So we'll hear that now and a warning. Some of the descriptions in this story are disturbing. When elijah mclean's death started becoming national news. Many people expected his mother. Shannon mclean to take a leading role in the protest movement against police violence. But she's clear that's not her path. I'm not that kind of person you know to get on the bullhorn and lead a bunch of people down the street trying to fight for rice that we shouldn't have to fight for still in the two years since her son's death she's become a force for change both in colorado and nationally. For me it comes down to the policies and the laws chenine mcclain's nightmare started the night of august. Twenty four th twenty nineteen when police aurora colorado stopped. Her son as he was walking home from a convenience store after buying is t- caller told police they saw suspicious man wearing a mask waving his arms up there. When mclean didn't immediately follow an officers commands. He was tackled to the ground. Put in to corroded holds that cut off blood flow to his brain crew with a war. Fire had to give mclean a sedative to calm him down and that on his way to the hospital he suffered a cardiac arrest bear medic. Say he regained his pulse and is now at the hospital. Shamin mclean was homeless and living in a hotel with lively siblings. She says police contacted her. That night on a messaging app and said they needed to come get her but refused to say why so. They came to the hotel that i was at and they put me in one police vehicle and they put my two children another police vehicle and there was a police liaison to the victim's advocate was there also and when we got to the hospital it was still took another hour or so for them to let me see elijah when she finally did get into his room. Shannon says elijah wasn't in good shape. He was hooked up to a ventilator and had bubble wrap around his torso his head was swollen and there were tubes in machines coming out of his nose and mouth. His eyes were open a little but not alert. he didn't like rap music at all. His brain was not registered with the rap music at all but once it got too violent and things that he was already into his. It was a steady a steady wave of his brain chemistry but after several days doctors declared mclean brain dead and took him off life support in the months following her son's death. Chenine mclean was achingly lonely. She held vigils near the spot where he died a patch of weeds by the highway which she decorated with little solar lights artificial flowers from the dollar store as a single mom doing everything i could to ensure that elijah had a future so that he would end up a statistic and then him being a statistic anyway felt like the world have rejected us. You know she hired a lawyer but says there was more talking and media attention and interviews than actual change. She hadn't talked to anyone at the aurora police department since the hospital. She didn't know where things stood at that moment. In two thousand nineteen. The broader public was not focused on police. Brutality or violence. Colorado was quiet. The politician colorado were quiet. That change in the summer of twenty twenty after george floyd's murder in minneapolis..

The law can remain effect even while legal challenges against it. Continue the ruling. Is the courts biggest break yet. From the landmark one thousand nine hundred seventy three roe v wade ruling. That legalized abortion. Nationwide chief justice. John roberts joined the court's three liberal justices in their descent with justice. My writing quote the court should not be so content to ignore its constitutional obligations to protect. Not only the rights of women but also the sanctity of its precedence. And of the rule of law. She wrote all five of the justices. Who allowed the abortion banned to stay in effect were appointed by republican presidents. Three of them by donald trump president biden said the texas law quote blatantly violates the constitutional right to abortion enshrined in roe v wade. It is the most restrictive anti choice law in the nation barring abortions about six weeks into a pregnancy before many people even know they're pregnant. There's no exception for rape or incest. The law also allows anyone in texas to sue. Patient's medical workers a cab driver or even a patient's family or friends who aid and abet and abortion texas clinic say. They've had to cancel most of their appointments. Since the law took effect wednesday providers say at least eighty five percent of abortions performed are now outlawed for more. We're going back to nancy. Northop president and ceo of the center for constitutional rights. Nancy we spoke to you yesterday. Welcome back talk about the significance of what came down once again just before midnight last night. Well we got the order from the court. Would you summarized which was a five four decision allowing this law in texas to stay in place. We are absolutely devastated. I mean the inaction of the court not stepping into block this unconstitutional law means that it will be in effect in taxes for the foreseeable future gas. The litigations still goes on but unfortunately the court of appeals court appeals with this circuit denied our request to hear an expedited way. The state's appeal to that court. And so we are stuck in this limbo but you know what people in this country. We should not be stuck. You know who can fix this united states. Congress can fix this. The women's health protection act has been introduced in every congress since since two thousand thirteen and right now the house of representatives has enough votes to pass it. Forty eight senators are on it in the senate and it is time for a drummer to say. Congress accord has led us down. You need to step in the women's health protection act. That's what needs to be on the lips of everybody who supports abortion.

"Outside groups are allies of Donald Trump, who also spread baseless claims of election fraud. And we don't know who the donors are because they're shrouded by nonprofit exemptions from disclosure. And it kind of raises the question. And for these firms that cyber Ninjas is the lead firm who were they beholden to? So you've explained how the recount came to be. But what is the justification? How do how to Republican officials justify this additional recount when the vote has already been certified? Yeah, Broadly, they say, what's the harm? You know we're just looking and hopefully they'll be no issues, but better to check it'll. It'll boost confidence in the election. But that stance is so dismissive of the process that are already in place under state law to check the accuracy of elections. And meanwhile, Cyber ninjas, the lead firm on the job has never done anything like this before and yet Republicans say they this private company should be trusted. Leadership of the audit has since it started over a month ago blasted attics explosive claims about the leader data by the county, which Trump and his supporters have picked up on on Lee to be wrong, But that claim is out there. Still, so there's there's information leaking from the audit that is undermining confidence in the election process, and some Arizona lawmakers are proposing new ongoing Election security funding, so these types of ongoing on its could become the norm. Been Giles of our member station. Cage's in Phoenix. Thank you so much. Thanks, Rachel. Two years ago, somebody called the police on a young black man named Elijah McLean, who was walking down the street in Aurora, Colorado. Police tackled and handcuffed McClane and then paramedics. Gave him a sedative. He went into cardiac arrest and later died. Now a lawmaker in Denver wants to rein in the use of involuntary sedation. Here's Michael Day. Oana from member station Kunc. A year ago as the black lives matter Movement rallied outside the state Capitol lawmakers passed a sweeping police accountability bill if bands police from using deadly force on suspects of minor crimes and bands, chokeholds. Denver representative Leslie Hair. It has been among those pushing hardest for reforms. The use of ketamine is another weapon that's being used against our community, and it should be treated the same as any other use of force. Ketamine is the powerful anesthetic that was used to sedate McClane against his will and hair. It says police are influencing paramedics to use it. Records show that statewide paramedics administered it in situations similar to McLane's almost once a day in a 2.5 year period. But Dr Kevin McVeigh, Me who works in Denver Health Emergency Department opposes Herod's bill. He told a legislative committee that ketamine sedation aren't important tool for dealing with a condition called excited delirium. Big veiny says Deaths in police custody went down after Denver paramedics were given direction to intervene with ketamine in 2013 in the seven years prior to 2013. In the city and county of Denver alone. There were eight restraint related deaths. Since that time, there have been zero. Paramedics describe people with excited delirium as combative and impervious to pain. But it is not defined in the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual of disorders. In December, the association's board of trustees said Excited delirium is a label. This proportionately applied. Two black men in police custody. Colorado's reform bill would bar police from directing paramedics to involuntarily sedate someone. Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown says That's a bad idea. We did on scene a lot quicker and were able to collect a lot of information that could be critical in assisting patients, and we need to be able to share that freely. Brown says Officers need to be able to tell paramedics what's happening. Reform bill sponsor Leslie Herod says it was police advice that resulted in Elijah McLane being sedated against his will. And there are too many outcomes like that. We have seen body camera footage every body camera footage that shows people who are detained who are cooperating with law enforcement who are still being given ketamine at the direction of law enforcement. Marriage Bill has passed Colorado's house and is now being considered in the Senate. It could impose 18 months in jail and fines above the $5000 for officers found to have wrongly pressured paramedics to sedate someone for NPR news. I'm Michael Day. Oh, Anna in Colorado. Ahh.
