What The Video Footage Reveals: The video starts with Anderson flagging down a police officer on a motorcycle on Lincoln Boulevard in Venice. “Please help me,” Anderson says. The bike cop rides around the corner and discovers a multiple-vehicle car collision. Several drivers point toward Anderson and identify him as the person responsible for the collision.
The bike cop catches backup with Anderson at the northeast corner of Venice Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard. “Get off to the side,” the officer orders. “Somebody's trying to kill me,” Anderson repeatedly says before getting down to his knees.
The bike cop calls for additional units while Anderson rambles and fidgets around on the ground. The video cuts and picks up seven minutes later. About a minute after the video resumes, Anderson walks away from the cop.
The officer mounts his bike again and catches up with Anderson in the middle of Venice Boulevard just west of Lincoln, close to where they were before. “Turn over on your stomach right now!” He yells.
Body-worn camera footage shows two officers responding to the scene as the traffic officer orders Anderson onto his stomach. The officers all grab Anderson, lift him up and bring him back to the ground on his stomach.
