Paramedics were convicted in Elijah McClain's death. That could make
other first responders pause
...
...
In the Colorado case, the prosecution said Cooper lied to
investigators to try to cover up his actions, telling detectives that
McClain was actively resisting when he decided to inject McClain with
ketamine, even though the body camera showed McClain lying on the
ground unconscious. It also disputed Cooper's claim that McClain tried
to get away from police holding him down -- and that he took McClain's
pulse as he bent down to give him the shot of ketamine, which others
testified they did not see.
"He's trying to cover up the recklessness of his conduct," Senior
Assistant Attorney General Jason Slothouber told jurors in closing
statements.

All LEOs should be required to wear cams...lying SOBs when their
conduct exceeds expected behavior. And when caught lying, give them a
prison term of ten years.
