Keenan Anderson - black teacher killed by LAPD

[Anonymous]

The insinuation of this thread is:

- racism.

But, the officers here were all Black or BIPOC. Please explain how these BIPOC / Black officers are racists?

Race had nothing to do with it.

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.

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

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.

He was not a threat. AT no time were the officers in danger. They spoke with him and he was non-threatening. Police officers lack training to deal with someone in crisis. There is NO reason that man should've died for this.

He was literally walking out into traffic. Did you even watch the video??!?

An unarmed man walking into traffic is threatening? Sounds like he was only a danger to himself.

And the family would have won a large settlement because they failed to keep this nut out of the road.

I’m so sick of you idiots.

Black cops can also be bigoted.

Very sad. Double the number of white people get killed by cops every year. I realize that does not mean racism was not involved in incidents, but that the violence cops perpetrate is not just against black people.

It wasn’t this week.

It happened on Tuesday, 1/3. Weren't DC schools in session then?

If the death occurred several hours after he was tasered, isn't it possible that the tasering did not directly cause his death?

So you are saying they should have let him walk out into traffic?

They should have stopped traffic so he could safely wander in the road.

Says the person who clearly doesn't work with the mentally ill and drug addicts on a daily basis. Their behavior can be wildly erratic. The poor guy would have been hit by a car before officers could safely enter traffic and stop it without getting themselves killed.

The police acted appropriately and with tremendous patience. They not at fault here. None whatsoever.

It's why we need to hospitalize long-term people with these kinds of mental health issues.
