Dr. Marc Brown said the officers could have de-escalated the situation and failed to properly monitor McClain's health status after placing him in a carotid hold.
AURORA, Colo. — A use of force and training expert who reviewed body-worn camera footage of the 2019 encounter between Aurora Police officers and Elijah McClain testified Friday about theDr. Marc Brown told jurors over and over again that the actions of suspended Aurora officer Randy Roedema, 41, and former officer Jason Rosenblatt, 34, were"inconsistent" with the department's policies and directives he reviewed.
Brown's testimony on Friday focused on the time McClain was on the ground before paramedics arrived. He spent the morningand then explaining to jurors how, in his opinion, the actions of the officers violated policies and directives. "It's a significant threat to an officer because a firearm is deadly force," replied Brown."If they're able to grab a firearm, they could grab that and turn it on them."
Brown said that, from his view, the officers did not treat McClain's complaints about being unable to breathe as a medical emergency as required.He said the last thing he heard McClain say was,"Help me" and"I can't," but never finished the thought. The officers did place McClain on his side, in what's known as the recovery position, which is in accordance with policy; however, Brown noted that officers were putting pressure on McClain. Specifically, he said Roedema pressed his knee into McClain's rib and sternum area.
