Aurora Police officer Nathan Woodyard— on trial for Elijah McClain's death— had at least five trainings on a potentially dangerous hold that was used on McClain.
BRIGHTON, Colo. — Aurora Police officer Nathan Woodyard was trained at least five times in the potentially dangerous neck hold he used on Elijah McClain.
It can also have serious health consequences, and the potential danger is underscored by how much time is spent on training officers on how to use it – and what to do afterward. At one point, Roedema said that McClain had tried to grab Rosenblatt’s gun, and the struggle intensified. Rosenblatt attempted a carotid hold but was not successful. Then Woodyard did it, rendering McClain unconscious.
During nearly 4½ hours of testimony, Sgt. Smyth stressed that the department considers training in the carotid hold so important that officers undergo it annually and have to score 100% on a test.“If it’s done improperly, the risks go much higher,” Smyth said. “And so, because of those risks, we have a different standard for testing than we do in other – in other techniques.
