Excessive Force Lawsuit Quickly Filed after LA Cops were Caught on Video Ambushing a Black Man for No Valid Reason, Tried to Kill Him

From [HERE] The family of Blake Anderson, whose violent arrest at an Inglewood hookah bar over the weekend was captured on cell phone video, will hold a news conference tomorrow with attorneys to announce an excessive force claim against Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies.

The arrest occurred Sunday while Anderson was working as a security guard at the Good Batch hookah lounge at 5006 W. Century Blvd. near the San Diego (405) Freeway. The LASD did not explain why deputies were initially called to the scene and noted only that ``deputies were involved in a use-of-force incident with an armed suspect'' at the scene.

The family retained attorneys Ben Crump, Jasmine Mines and Jim DeSimone, and planned a news conference Friday at 1:30 p.m.

Anderson's family claimed in a GoFundMe account that the man was approached by the deputies, who did not identify themselves before attempting to apprehend him.

"According to multiple witnesses, Blake was conversing with an establishment customer when the officers got out of their vehicle and proceeded to ambush him with no probable cause,'' according to the GoFundMe. "No name, source of identification or justification for arrest was asked for before immediately slamming his head into a glass window.''

The LASD claimed Anderson "sustained minor injuries during the use of force'' and was taken to a hospital, where he was "medically cleared for booking.'' Anderson's family, however, reported the man suffered "a dislocated shoulder'' and "several hematomas around his head.''

Additionally, the family's GoFundMe account said Anderson had previously suffered from a ruptured right eye that was unrelated to the arrest and was "finally showing signs of his sight returning,'' but the injuries he sustained during the use of force caused the improvement in his right eye to deteriorate.
