3 Colorado Officers Fired for Photo Reenacting Killing of Elijah McClain
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Colorado, three officers with the Aurora Police Department
were fired, and a fourth resigned, after they staged a photo reenacting
the killing of Elijah Mc Clain, an African American man who died after
an officer put him in a chokehold as he attempted to walk home from a
store last August. Aurora's interim police chief, Vanessa Wilson, called
the photo a "crime against humanity and decency."
