Last Words
According to body cam audio, these were McClain’s last words as he was restrained by police officers: "I can’t breathe. I have my ID right here. My name is Elijah McClain. That’s my house. I was just going home. I’m an introvert. I’m just different. That’s all. I’m so sorry. I have no gun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting. Why are you attacking me? I don’t even kill flies! I don’t eat meat! But I don’t judge people, I don’t judge people who do eat meat. Forgive me. All I was trying to do was become better. I will do it. I will do anything. Sacrifice my identity, I’ll do it. You all are phenomenal. You are beautiful and I love you. Try to forgive me. I’m a mood Gemini. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Ow, that really hurt! You are all very strong. Teamwork makes the dream work. [after vomiting] Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to do that. I just can’t breathe correctly.
Fuck, that was so brutal. Even given what I’ve learned about cops over the years, this case is particularly egregious, that poor fucking kid was murdered by pigs and paramedics with fucking ketamine of all things.
Everything about that case was horrifying, from the Koncerned Karen that called the police because he was being too Black on the street to the fact authorities tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug. The cops responsible even went to do selfies mocking Elijah on the anniversary of his death and a violin vigil was disbanded as if it were a looter mob after an earthquake.
And this to a human being that played the violin for shelter cats because they seemed to enjoy it. Elijah’s soul was so beautiful, it breaks my heart that he’s gone.
Fuck grace and kindness, at least enucleate their eye. Getting murdered IRL isn’t like in books, TV series or movies, you don’t just fall down like a sack of grain. It hurts the whole time, don’t forgive someone who’s trying to do it to you.
It’s my moment to remember Elijah McClain. Rest in peace, you beautiful soul.

I can only hope to have such grace and kindness in my heart when the fascists kill me.
