(CNN)The FBI and US Justice Department have been reviewing the circumstances around Elijah McClain's death since 2019, the federal agencies said Tuesday in a joint statement.

The review is focused on determining whether a federal civil rights investigation is warranted, the statement said.
"The matter is ongoing, and we are in the process of gathering additional evidence from the Aurora Police Department and other parties," it said. "To date, the City of Aurora has been cooperating."

McClain's family attorney expressed surprise at the decision.

"I am both surprised and pleased to hear that a civil rights investigation is being considered by the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office, and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division," Mari Newman said in a statement.

"The Aurora Police Department has a long and sordid history of both brutality and racism, and a comprehensive civil rights investigation is long overdue. I invite these agencies to reach out and will happily provide information to assist in this critically important investigation," Newman's statement said.

1. Justice has left the building.

From the link: “The review is focused on determining whether a federal civil rights investigation is warranted”

A-mazing. McClain was killed in August 2019. It is now July 2020 and they are still “reviewing“ to see whether an investigation is warranted?

Amerikkan justice, live and in color.
