Lawyers for Keenan Anderson's 5-year-old son filed the wrongful death claim after the man was repeatedly shocked by cops following a traffic collision.
LOS ANGELES — Lawyers for the 5-year-old son of a man who died after repeatedly being shocked by Los Angeles police with a stun gun following a traffic collision filed a $50 million claim Friday for damages against the city.
The claim was filed on behalf of Anderson’s son, Syncere Kai Anderson, who stood with his mother, Gabrielle Hansell, the administrator of his estate, alongside their attorneys. “They’re trying to George Floyd me,” Anderson said in reference to the Black man killed by officers in Minnesota. Chief Michel Moore said Anderson initially complied with officers as they investigated whether he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. But he was subdued after struggling with officers who had chased him when he bolted.Anderson ran in fear — as other Black men have — when additional officers responding to a call for backup rushed toward him, Douglas said.
