The Democratic Party in the United States is the most effective of two evils, says a Montreal-based author, noting that the Democrats have been accused of being the “gravedigger” of social movements and can get away with anything.

Arnold August, a member of the Black Alliance for Peace Solidarity Network, told Press TV that the struggle for the Black community in the US consisted of a major political uprising against the ruling elite, but it fizzled out once Joe Biden, who picked Kamala Harris as the first Black vice president, was thrust onto the political scene.

“It is for this reason that organizations in the US such as the Black Alliance for Peace Solidarity Network accuse the Democratic Party of being the gravedigger of social movements,” he said.

The tragic death of Keenan Anderson, the cousin of a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, after he was repeatedly tasered by police officers in Los Angeles, has sparked a massive outcry in the United States.

Anderson, 31, cousin of Patrisse Cullors, died at a hospital in Santa Monica, California, after suffering a cardiac arrest following the incident on the afternoon of January 3 in Los Angeles’ Venice neighborhood.

In a 13-minute body-cam footage released by LAPD on Wednesday, Anderson is seen begging for help as multiple officers hold him to the ground and one officer presses his elbow along with his body weight onto his neck.
