Elijah McClain: Three police officers placed on leave after photos emerge of them 're-enacting the chokehold' used on teenager

Three police officers from Aurora, Colorado have been put on paid leave after a photo emerged of them them posing in the spot where Elijah McClain was killed by police.

The 23-year-old, who was described by his family as "gentle", died in August 2019 after being stopped by police on his way back from the shop after someone called police about a "suspicious" person in the neighbourhood.

The city's interim police chief, Vanessa Wilson, said the department became aware of the photos when another officer reported them to the department's internal affairs division.
