The family of #KeenanAnderson continues to grieve and fight after their loved one was murdered after LAPD tasered him 6 times in about 40 seconds. Keenan was seeking help after an auto accident and it ended in his death. This is unacceptable. Keenan was a beloved father, teacher, mentor, brother, cousin, and fiancé. Let’s honor his life with tangible action- let us not only say his name, but move our feet. This is one small, quick action that is so incredibly important. Sign the petition to support the demands of his family and BLMLA, go to tinyurl.com/SignForKeenan. In the wake of this tragedy, this is the very least that can be done and we will work to ensure it. #BlackLivesMatter

Instead, he was forced to defend himself, then criminalized, arrested, prosecuted, convicted, immediately remanded into the custody of the Collin County Sheriff, and sentenced to 35 years in prison. The state plans to cage him, stomp out his infinite potential, and deprive the world of his light until he is 54 years-old.
