A cousin of Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors died hours after he was repeatedly Tasered and restrained in the street by Los Angeles police.
Keenan Anderson, 31, a teacher and father, died at a hospital in Santa Monica.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) have released body camera footage of the 3 January encounter.
It shows Mr Anderson begging for help as officers hold him down.
At one point he can be heard saying, "They're trying to George Floyd me!" - a reference to the May 2020 murder of a black man in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by a policeman.

Any riots yet?
And here we go again.......
Sad.
Sorry for the loss. Whadaya say we DON’T burn major cities to the ground, huh?
Wow! That’s too bad. I’ll bet he couldn’t breathe. The NBA boys are going to need some new T-shirts for their games.
Being hassled by the police? Have you tried not breaking the law and seeing if that helps?
I’m going to wait until more comes out about this man’s death before commenting further. Hopefully we don’t see another cop railroaded in court
Cocaine. Not a factor, I’m sure.
Sux for him.
Let’s just hope it was black cops that held him down.
Why does this sound faker than Hillary's yoga routines?
Looks like the cops who tasered him and held him down were black. He was trying to flee a felony hit-and-run by highjacking a car, then resisted arrest and ran into a store to get away. He also had cannabis and cocaine in his system, which is pry why the tasing hastened his early death.
Can’t we just let criminals be criminals?!
Anyone have the Seinfeld GIF handy?
Ya rolls the dice, ya takes your chances.
Police have an old saying: “You might beat the rap but you’ll never beat the ride.”
Their job is to take you in, whether you want to go or not. If you resist, you deserve whatever comes next.
Mental illness or drugs.

Just got in and got a chance to go to the BBC website. I wonder if Nancy Pelosi will thank him for “sacrificing himself”?
He can’t breathe (anymore) . . .
I wonder if he was in SoCal to visit his cuzzin at the BLM mansion.
