“They’re trying to George Floyd me!” Keenan Anderson yelled as he was held down by police in Los Angeles, hours before the 31-year-old teacher was pronounced dead Jan. 3.
Cullors said Anderson was a 10th grade English teacher at the Digital Pioneers Academy, a majority-Black public charter school in Washington, and was in Los Angeles visiting family and friends.
Seven minutes later, Anderson attempts to run away, video shows. The officer quickly catches up to him, and he demands Anderson turn over on his stomach in the middle of the road, according to the video. He remains handcuffed in the middle of the road as officials begin to give him medical assistance following the Taser usage, video shows. An ambulance eventually arrives and begins to transfer Anderson to the ambulance, which is also when the body-camera footage cuts off.
Moore told reporters that he expedited the release of all three body-cam videos from the three separate fatal police encounters — Anderson, Smith and Sanchez — so that they could be released Wednesday instead of the usual 45-day period. He noted it was important given the “substantial public interest” in a series of tragedies that “deeply concerned” him.
