In the heart of Los Angeles. On the pavement, begging for his life, police from the LAPD killed another young brother in broad daylight. ⁣

This is 31 year old High School English Teacher, Keenan Anderson. Beloved. Popular. Adored. Cherished. The death of Keenan Anderson, a 31-year-old high school teacher and father visiting from Washington, D.C., is among a recent series of separate encounters that ended with men dying after their exchanges with Los Angeles officers. The fatal incidents have rocked the city in recent days, and the community is calling for justice after the police encounters involving Anderson, as well as 45-year-old Takar Smith and 35-year-old Oscar Sanchez, both of whom were fatally shot by officers in the first few days of January.

Video shows Anderson being detained by multiple officers as he begs for his life shortly after a traffic collision. Keenan was in a car accident and FLAGGED DOWN POLICE himself. After the accident Keenan was clearly not well and needed compassionate medical attention. ⁣He caused no harm. Hurt no soul. But was repeatedly shocked with 50,000 volts of electricity.⁣
⁣

“They’re trying to George Floyd me!” he exclaimed, according to the video, referring to the Minneapolis man who was murdered by then-police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020. “They’re trying to George Floyd me!”

Then an officer is shown using his Taser on Anderson two times, including one stretch that lasted about 30 seconds uninterrupted.Shocking someone with 50,000 volts of electricity AND asking them to stay still is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.⁣ By definition, when you already cannot breathe, and have grown men putting their whole weight on your body, with your arms stretched behind your back, it makes you feel like you are being killed.⁣ Body-cam footage shows an officer appearing to have his elbow on Anderson’s neck as he is detained in the middle of the road.

After Anderson was eventually handcuffed and taken into custody, he was transferred by ambulance to a hospital in Santa Monica. It was there that he was pronounced dead after suffering cardiac arrest.
