Interim Aurora, Colo., police chief Vanessa Wilson fired two officers for reenacting the death of 23-year-old Elijah McClain and a third officer for commenting on the photo that captured the "despicable act," The Washington Post reports.Why it matters: McClain died in the summer of 2019 after police officers held him in a chokehold and paramedics used a sedative, ketamine. People have been protesting McClain's death recently after the police killing of George Floyd revitalized the movement against police brutality.What they're saying: Wilson said she fired Officers Erica Marrero and Kyle Dittrich for posing with Jaron Jones, who resigned earlier this week. Wilson called the photo a "despicable act," per the Post."And if any officer in this police department disagrees and thinks this was acceptable, I will gladly accept your resignation today." Jason Rosenblatt replied "ha ha" to the image when he received it, the Post notes.The state of play: The renewed focus on McClain's death prompted Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) to reopen an inquiry and appoint a special prosecutor to the case.No police officer has been charged with McClain's death.Context: A coroner's report concluded McClain died because of "undetermined causes" and the "evidence does not support the prosecution of a homicide," NBC reports.However, the coroner did not rule out that the chokehold and ketamine might have contributed to his death.The coroner "could not exclude the possibility that Mr. McClain suffered from an unexpected reaction to the drug."Editor's note: Updates with additional details.
