A second Denver-area police officer has been acquitted in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain. The 23-year-old Black man was put in a neck hold and injected with ketamine after being stopped by police as he walked home from a convenience store.

The headline is a little misleading. It makes it look like officers were only acquitted, which isn't true.
3 officers were charged. 1 has already been "found guilty on charges of criminally negligent homicide and assault." The other 2 were acquitted.
The 2 paramedics involved in forcing Elijah to overdose on ketamine are awaiting trial. Not sure why we're trusting paramedics to give correct dosages of sedatives, but here we are.
