Warriors' Klay Thompson Calls for Justice for Elijah McClain in IG Post

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson made an Instagram post Wednesday seeking justice for Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who died after a struggle with police in August 2019.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced Wednesday his administration is going to reexamine the McClain case after a petition urging a new investigation into his death received over 2 million signatures, per Leslie Perrot of CNN.

McClain was stopped by police after a 911 caller described him as a "suspicious person" as he walked home from a convenience store in Aurora, Colorado.
