Attorneys have filed a $50 million damages claim against the city of Los Angeles over the death of Keenan Anderson.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League issued the following statement regarding the $50 million claim,
"Minor auto accidents are usually handled with an exchange of information between the drivers and a call to one’s insurance carrier. On the other hand, when an individual who is high on cocaine is in an accident, tries to open the car door of an innocent driver, and then flees the scene by running into traffic, police officers must act. We demand that the Chief of Police release the missing 7-minutes of body-worn camera video that will capture the entire episode with Mr. Anderson.
