Another senseless death. |
Did you watch the full bodycam video? I suggest you do this. |
This is awful and hard to watch. My heart breaks for that poor man who was terrified that he was going to die at the hands of the police and actually did. Why did they cuff him when it was just a car accident? And he flagged them down? I don't understand any of this. That poor man. |
His name was Keenan Anderson.
RIP Keenan May your death not be in vain. # Name-longerPoliceTraining4Keenan https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64252337.amp |
I am going to guess his very erratic behavior, which the officer initially thought might be DUI-related but it turns out was more likely the result of the cocaine and marijuana shown to be in his system. I tend to judge against the police very quickly on these things and wonder why they had to tase him what seemed like 4 times, but I guess the drugs could explain that? This video from the LAPD and timeline is interesting. I do feel awful for him, his family and his students. |
This changed everything. Watch the video BEFORE you judge here. The police acted professionally here, and this death was NOT their fault! |
So quick to post this but I guess you haven't watched the body cam video yet. |
I watched and saw the police tase a man to death who was behaving erratically but was not violent or aggressive. |
You mean where the man terrified of being killed by police was killed by police? |
But he was unarmed and not a threat. There were also 4-5 armed cops vs. 1 unarmed man. He clearly needed help. I don't understand why he had to be tased. It makes no sense in most civilized countries that don't regularly kill people for traffic incidents |
The police officer - who is BIPOC - showed remarkable patience, restraint, and professionalism here.
Watch the whole video. |
he may not have had a gun but a car can be a deadly weapon when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I tho k we can see that from the accident he caused. He’s an adult and should have known better. Did he deserve to die? No. But his decisions got him here. |
This is unfortunate.
but he was clearly so high on a cocktail of drugs that he made no sense, and was a threat to both himself and others. |
+1000 |
How many children did he put at risk, driving around in that condition before he crashed his vehicle? |
