Keenan Anderson died in LAPD custody on Jan. 3, going into cardiac arrest hours after officers tased him.
"We are deeply saddened by the death of Mr. Keenan Anderson, a 10th grade English teacher at Digital Pioneers Academy," Mashea Ashton, the Academy's CEO and founder, said in a remembrance posted on the school's website. "Our community is grieving. But we're also angry. Angry that, once again, a known, loved and respected member of our community is no longer with us. Angry that another talented, beautiful Black soul is gone too soon.
A West Traffic Division officer was flagged down and witnesses said the man who caused the crash was running in the middle of the street and exhibiting erratic behavior, police said. He ran into the middle of Venice Boulevard and when officers caught up to him, Anderson allegedly began to resist. Officers used a stun gun, bodyweight, firm grips and joint locks to overcome Anderson's alleged resistance, police said.
On Wednesday, the department released video footage of the encounter. The agency typically releases such footage, or "critical incident reports," 45 days after use-of-force incidents
