🧵1/11 Lord Hannan of Kingsclere @DanielJHannan fired off a broadside in yesterday's @Telegraph in the war against Britain's "Great Awokening" - a conflict fought on all sides with snippets of history and weaponised quotes. At least one of his quotes looked a bit odd ...

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.
