Candles, flowers, and signs at the vigil for Keenan Anderson.
As Patrisse Cullors looked out upon a sea of umbrellas battered by rainfall, sirens rang out and red lights flashed onto her face. "I keep seeing all these ambulances. And I keep seeing the fire department. And I keep wondering 'where were they?' I keep wondering why they weren't called when my cousin begged for help! I keep wondering why the police were there. I keep hearing his voice. I keep seeing his face, our family's face. We don't have to live like this."
Keenan Anderson, a 31-year-old Black father and high school teacher, was killed on January 3rd after being tased repeatedly by the Los Angeles Police Department. Before he was killed, body camera video shows that he screamed, "they're trying to George Floyd me!" Anderson is the cousin of Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter.
