Keenan Anderson, a 31-year-old teacher and relative of Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, went into cardiac arrest four hours after a Jan. 3 struggle with officers, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said during a press conference.

Anderson tried to run away after a car crash and officers used force to restrain him, Moore said. He added officers were investigating whether Anderson was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

  1. Only use the footage for their own defense and cut out parts where they are in the wrong. Im not an expert but I dont think thats how it was supposed to be.

    1. @Tapejara 150 Do you think that happens with other incidents? Like some of the police involved deaths that the media rambles on about?

    1. @itz plank The same thing they do with all those white mass shooter, I guess. They treat them better than a black person who hasn’t committed a crime

    2. @Hay kay Yeah so let’s just let someone who is high out of their mind do whatever they want. Different departments different men, if you think you could do a better job you should be a cop.

  2. maybe just don’t run from the police so the body cam footage doesn’t have to go to youtube? ever thought of that USA today?

    1. People run from the police when they are scared. Judging from your dp of a kid you might have a child or a young person who looks up to you. Maybe have some empathy.

    2. @Hay kay it’s not about empathy here hay kay, it’s about competence. this poor man didn’t have that. I blame his parents not the police sorry not sorry

    1. No he didn’t. He could have a mental health issue or maybe he was just scared for his life. Not everyone is on drugs. Have some shame.
