Shocking footage shows Keenan Anderson, a high school teacher whose cousin is Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, beg for his life as cops repeatedly tase him hours before his death earlier this month.
The precise cause of his death is to be determined, but Anderson became the third man of color to die after a violent encounter with the LAPD in the span of a week, roiling a city with a long, ugly legacy of police brutality.
Body-camera footage shows Anderson, 31, repeatedly yell, “They’re trying to George Floyd me!” as cops restrained him in the middle of the street on Jan. 3. One officer held his elbow on Anderson’s neck as he was pinned to the ground. Simultaneously, another officer appeared to tase Anderson for nearly 30 seconds straight.
