OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Kansas City Kansas PD state that an altercation between John Anderton and the officer took place. The officer was seen wearing a BWC but Anderton’s brother states footage was withheld. “Everyone I talked to at that house said my brother was trying to give that [overdosed] man CPR. Once the ambulance and help got there, he left. I have videos of my brother riding his bicycle, not fleeing, riding away,” he (brother) said.
Police state he left his home on his bike. His brother disputes this and feels that a neighbor’s security cam shows a different man on a bicycle. The family wants answers and has retained a lawyer. No officers were charged.
