Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) demanded “swift” accountability this weekend for the death of Keenan Anderson in a confrontation with police before the facts were known — including whether Anderson was trying to hijack cars.
Anderson, a 31-year-0ld teacher from Washington, DC, who happens to be a cousin of Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors, died Jan. 3 after being tased during a confrontation with Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers.
The Los Angeles Times reported:
The incident began Jan. 3 at 3:30 p.m. with a motorcycle officer arriving at what the LAPD characterized as a “felony hit-and-run” car crash at Venice and Lincoln boulevards. Police said Anderson was in the middle of the street, declaring, “Please help me.” LAPD Chief Michel Moore alleged this week that another driver reported that Anderson had attempted “to get into another car without his permission.”
Anderson then wanders in and out of cars, with the officer telling him to get on the sidewalk, according to the video. The officer yells, “Get up against the wall.”
…
Moore said data from the Taser weapon showed “there were six separate activations over 42 seconds. The first two [were] in the probe mode. We believe the darts weren’t effective. Then four activations over 33 seconds” in the stun mode in which the pulse was applied directly to the skin.

Schiff is a piece of Schiff.
Any bodycam footage?
Why do folks like him think they don’t have to follow the instruction of a COP.
Shit head shiffty are part of the problem; he thinks he’s above the law.
Not sure, but if this is the incident that I think it was, you get some idea of the mental state of the decedent from a body cam worn by a motorcycle officer who had to chase this pedestrian to get him out of traffic. Clearly he was on drugs or mentally ill, or better yet, both. When you look at this kind of footage you have to say - how hard would it be to stand still and respond to the officer? What sort of IQ deficiency is required NOT to follow the instructions of the cops?
3:30 p.m. a COP responds to a “felony hit-and-run” car crash. Police said Anderson was in the middle of the street, declaring, “Please help me.” Another driver reported that Anderson had attempted “to get into another car without his permission.”
At 3:30 Anderson is in the middle of the street.....WOW????
Little of this makes sense. But, Shiffty needs to shut up and allow the cops to figure out what really happened.
Yup...just watched the video.Didn’t watch the whole thing but I’ll bet my last nickel that serious psych problems and/or drugs were involved. I wonder what the autopsy showed...and I wonder what his past medical history (and police contact) history was.
Andy NGO is way too polite. His response to Schitt should have been something along the lines of “You’re a lying POS racist. Too bad the voters in your district think having a liar like you, that spews lies every time you open your pie hole, think having you represent them is a good idea.”
At least the subduing cop is black…
Wandering around asking for help?
Cops in LA: no holds, so batons; no batons, so use your guns; don’t use your guns, so tasers; what comes with no tasers?
I’m sure if a store owner tells that to the ever eager for an excuse to loot looters it will make them stop.
Inner city “JaQuarius” folks are known for their reason and impulse control…
This guy died 5 HOURS after he was arrested. The tazer had nothing to do with it. Cocaine intoxication
It isn’t slavery or Jim Crow that is turning black communities into shopping deserts now. Nor is it mobs of angry white Democrats rioting in black communities ... though have to mention that after nearly a hundred year hiatus there are a few angry white Democrats rioting ... but they claim they are helping.
Yeah, but that little detail will not matter if the Democrats have decided they need a new round of riots.
I’m from the Philly area, so I’m well aware of who is responsible for what.
I read somewhere that this mendacious reprobate is prepping to run for the Senate seat currently held by Diane Feinstein. Imagine that?
Schiff is a true scumbag, and most likely queer, but people have to stop being afraid of black lives matter. They may get up in the air, but it is well known how to deal with it. Many politicians lack the nerve to stand up though.
