Former Aurora PD Officers Involved In Elijah McClain Photo Scandal Are Still Fired

Three former Aurora, Colo., police officers have lost a bid to get their jobs back after being fired in connection to posed photos reenacting a chokehold near the site where Elijah McClain was pinned down by police.

The city's Civil Service Commission upheld the firings of Officers Erica Marrero, Kyle Dittrich and Jason Rosenblatt. A fourth officer resigned before the others were kicked out of the department.

"I fully supported [Aurora Police] Chief Wilson's firing of Officers Dittrich, Marrero and Rosenblatt, and am encouraged that the Civil Service Commission agreed and upheld her decision," Aurora City Manager Jim Twombly said Tuesday in a statement, the local Fox affiliate reported.
