A dramatic video shows a 21-year-old Texas man lying on the ground while police point their weapons toward him, and his family members beg officers to put down their weapons. At the climax of the video, the man's grandmother can be seen shielding her grandson as officers with weapons approach. Police said they chased Tye Anders down because he went through a stop sign. In a video of the altercation, Anders can be seen lowering himself to the ground while police point guns at him from near their vehicles. "We are not going to do anything as long as you listen," a police officer can be heard saying in the video. "Stay calm," another officer added. Anders then appears to ask officers why they were "waiting on" him. "And now you're going to shoot," Anders said. The officers, who continue to point their weapons at Anders, tell him to stand up and walk backward toward them. "He's got guns on him," a person behind the camera shouts back. "He's scared. Do y'all not see how many black people are getting shot? Do you all not see that?" The voices of Anders' panicked family members continue to urge the 21-year-old to remain on the ground and keep his hands down. At one point during the three-minute video, Anders is heard begging officers to put their weapons down. "I'm scared," Anders repeats.
