Relatives of Keenan Anderson, a Black man who went into cardiac arrest and died earlier this month after Los Angeles police Tasered him multiple times and shackled him following a Venice traffic collision, filed a $50 million damages claim against the city Friday.
Anderson, the father of a 5-year-old son, had been a teacher for more than eight years, the past six months at Digital Pioneers Academy, a charter school in Washington, D.C. Anderson, 31, had been in the Los Angeles area visiting relatives during the holidays.
Douglas announced the damages claim at a news conference along with noted civil-rights attorney Ben Crump, who represented the family of George Floyd in Minnesota. Moore and the LAPD released some edited body-camera footage showing the encounter between Anderson and police on Jan. 3 following a traffic collision in which he was involved at Lincoln and Venice boulevards.
Douglas described a far different scenario, saying Anderson"in every way was respectful of authority," and acted compliantly and referred to the officers as"sir."
