Keenan Anderson, a Black man who was repeatedly tased by police officers following a January traffic collision, died from the effects of an enlarged heart and cocaine use, the Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner said.
Anderson, a 31-year-old high school teacher and father from Washington, D.C., was also the cousin of Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors.
On Jan. 3, Anderson was trying to get help after a car crash in Venice, Calif., when he was chased, held down by multiple officers and tased for over 90 seconds. He'd been in California visiting family.
Anderson was the suspect in a hit-and-run crash when he was stopped by police. He later ran from officers and resisted arrest, police said.
"Please, please, please, please, please," Anderson yells. "They're trying to George Floyd me," he says
An officer uses a Taser on Anderson at least six times, at one point deploying the stun gun for about 30 seconds uninterrupted.
LAPD Chief Michel Moore later said that only a "single Taser activation" had occurred followed by what he believed were several ineffective "dry stun" attempts
Carl Douglas, an attorney for Anderson's family, said in a statement emailed to NPR on Saturday that the coroner's findings will not change their plans to sue the city.
"An unarmed Black man, in obvious mental distress was savagely attacked and repeatedly tased, in clear violation of LAPD policy, by several trained officers, and the innocent life of a little five-year-old boy will be forever changed as a result," the statement read

Probably the Vax
Vax, with cocaine use, and a pumped-up situation (I’ll bet his BP was 200/100)....add up to death in the end.
Carl Douglas, an attorney for Anderson’s family, said
“An unarmed Black man, in obvious mental distress was savagely attacked and repeatedly tased, in clear violation of LAPD policy, by several trained officers. Those cats were fast as lighning. In fact, it was a little bit frighening. But they tazed with expert timing.”
A drug abusing suspect in a criminal hit and run was fleeing the crime scene. He was chased down by police and refused to comply with lawful orders and posed a threat to the officers. For his failure to comply he was zapped by a taser. Nothing to see here.
Nothing to do with his Vax but did to his coacine use, he'll be lucky to live another ten years.
Why in the world would the police walk into this teacher’s classroom and kill him, that is just....oh, wait.
“Anderson was the suspect in a hit-and-run crash when he was stopped by police. He later ran from officers and resisted arrest, police said.”
Hit and runs are disgusting.
White Privilege is the obvious killer.
Sounds like George Floyd syndrome.
It’s not “Dry Stun”, it’s “Drive Stun”. Which means you are deploying the taser’s electrodes directly to the subjects skin, rather than using the cartridge. It doesn’t have the same effect. It’s more a form of pain compliance than regular taser use.

Douglas sounds like as just a legal race-pimping money grubbing con-artist as Al Sharpton is to a religious race-pimping more eyes grubbing hate- monger con artist.
The same for Crump, the legal industry race-pimping ambulance chaser from the Sharpton/Jesse Jackson school of scam artistry.
NPR, yeah, unbiased and always accurate despite the truth which shows just how corrupt a media they often are.
As the article HEADLINE states: The hit-and-run driver is already dead.
Regards,
Epic.
“An unarmed Black man, in obvious mental distress was savagely attacked and repeatedly tased, in clear violation of LAPD policy, by several trained officers, and the innocent life of a little five-year-old boy will be forever changed as a result,”
Here we go again. George Floyd 2.0.
You wait...This will be the leading cause of death for slavery reparations recipients.
Where was this coroner when Derek Chauvin was being tried for doing his job?
If ya gonna do drugs and get yourself ‘Elvis heart’ don’t go running around like an idiot and get yourself tased by the cops. I thought everyone knew this.
