*Days after George Floyd was filmed being killed by Minneapolis police, a 90-year-old black grandmother in Midland, TX inserted herself in a standoff between her 21-year-old grandson and police officers who had him at gunpoint on her front lawn.
Officers said they followed Tye Anders to the house on May 16 after spotting him running a stop sign. Police dashcam footage shows Anders lying down on his grandmother’s lawn as three police officers point their firearms at him. Suddenly, his grandma is seen walking across her lawn toward the commotion. She’s heard screaming, “He’s scared, y’all have guns on him, he’s black. Do y’all not see how many black people are getting shot?” She added: “Y’all have guns on him, he’s only 21 of course he’s f**ing scared. I’d be scared, too, I ain’t walking towards you because y’all going to shoot.”
Anders can be heard saying “I’m scared.”
The cops eventually move in and handcuff Anders while urging his grandmother to back off. In a scary moment, she appears to fall over her cuffed grandson. The woman filming the encounter screams, “Y’all pushed her,” before the video ends.
Police dashcam footage (not seen here) then shows officers dragging the man to a squad car, while his grandmother remains sitting on the lawn for several minutes, visibly distraught.
Anders was arrested for evading police and taken to Midland County Jail, although he has since been released on bond, Mail Online reports.
