Cops joked at ‘choke’ death

Three police officers who took jokey photos showing a chokehold that killed a black man have been fired.

Elijah McClain, 23, died in Denver, Colorado, last August after being stopped by police. His case echoes that of George Floyd, who was killed in May.

Vanessa Wilson, police chief in Aurora, Denver, said: “We’re sickened. It’s beyond comprehension.”
