The Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners says two officers involved in a struggle that ended with the death of teacher violated the LAPD's policy on use of lethal force
A teacher who died after a struggle in which he was repeatedly shocked with a Taser by Los Angeles police didn't pose a deadly threat, and two officers who subdued him violated departmental policy on the use of lethal force, the police chief said in a report made public Tuesday. The 33-page report presented to the city's civilian Board of Police Commissioners said the Jan.
Anderson initially complied with officers as they investigated whether he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but then he bolted, leading to a struggle, police said. At one point, officers pressed on his windpipe and one officer used a stun gun on him six times, according to Moore's report. “They’re trying to George Floyd me,” Anderson said during the confrontation.
