LAPD finds officers used inappropriate tactics and force to restrain and arrest 31-year-old Keenan Anderson in Venice in January. Anderson died in police…
Some of the five Los Angeles police officers who restrained, shocked, and arrested Keenan Anderson in Venice earlier this year were found by a police oversight board Tuesday to have violated department policies during the encounter, after which Anderson died while in police custody.
The commissioners found one officer’s use of less lethal force, a Taser stun gun, was out of policy, and decided the tactics employed by all five didn’t meet department standards. Anderson died at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, several hours after he was arrested after the struggle near the scene of a car crash.Body-worn video released by the LAPD showed Anderson was stopped by an LAPD officer on a motorcycle near the scene of the collision and initially followed the officer's directions.
"As officers contacted Anderson, he began to resist, resulting in a use of force," the LAPD said in post that included video of the encounter."Officers struggled with Anderson for several minutes, utilizing a TASER, bodyweight, firm grips, and joint locks to overcome his resistance.
