A cousin of Black Lives Matter co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, was killed by Los Angeles police after he got in a traffic accident.

Officers who showed up following the car collision repeatedly tased him while restraining him in the middle of the street, according to body-camera footage and his family’s account.

Footage from the encounter on January 3 was released on Wednesday, Jan. 11.

It showed Keenan Anderson, a 31-year-old high school teacher and father, begging for help as multiple officers held him down.
