"I am disgusted to my core," said the interim chief of the police department in Colorado.
Three Aurora, Colorado, police officers were fired Friday for taking part in a disrespectful selfie-photo session near the memorial site for Elijah McClain, who died after being in a police chokehold, the interim chief said.
One of the photos shows Jones in the center of two officers, using a mock chokehold on Dittrich, with Marrero to his right.She said the photos were taken Oct. 20"outside of the location where there was a memorial set up for Elijah."Demonstrators on Friday took to the streets of Aurora, outside Denver, where McClain's mother was expected to speak.
"All of these steps ordered by Interim Chief Wilson were violations of the officer's due process rights," it said on Facebook."By her actions today, Interim Chief Wilson has demonstrated that she is unfit for the position that she currently holds."
