Flashback: Man Died on Video in 2016 After Dallas Police Pinned Him to Ground, Yet There Were No Riots…
A report last year from the Dallas Morning News highlighted how Tony Timpa screamed and begged for help more than 30 times as Dallas law enforcement “pinned his shoulders, knees and neck to the ground.”
Timpa bellowed, “You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me!”
After Timpa lost conscious, the officers who handcuffed him thought he was asleep and didn’t bother to find out if he was breathing or had a pulse.
As Timpa slowly died, the officers were laughing and joking about waking Timpa up for school and making him waffles for breakfast
According to body camera footage that The Dallas Morning News obtained, the police officers waited at least four minutes after Timpa stopped breathing to start implementing CPR. The Dallas Morning News noted that “His nose was buried in the grass while officers claimed to hear him snoring — apparently unaware that the unarmed man was drawing his last breaths.”
The News added, “The officers pinned his handcuffed arms behind his back for nearly 14 minutes and zip-tied his legs together. By the time he was loaded onto a gurney and put into an ambulance, the 32-year-old was dead.”
The Dallas newspaper was able to obtain the Dallas Police Department body camera footage after a three-year campaign to get records connected to Timpa’s death.
On July 29, 2019, a federal judge ruled in favor of a motion by The News and NBC5 to put out records from his death, declaring that “the public has a compelling interest in understanding what truly took place during a fatal exchange between a citizen and law enforcement.”
Timpa originally called the police on August 10, 2016, from the parking lot of a Dallas porn store. He said he was afraid and was in need of assistance. He informed a dispatcher that he was afflicted by schizophrenia and depression and was no longer on his prescription medication. The News first reported Timpa’s death in a 2017 investigation that depicted Dallas police’s refusal to explain how a man who had called 911 for help ended up dead.
Timpa’s family filed a lawsuit in federal court to obtain the records of this incident and they alleged excessive force, which contradicted key assertions Dallas police have made in defending the first responders’ actions.
According to the police report, Timpa’s behavior on the night of his death was “aggressive and combative.” The video depicts Timpa wincing in pain and fighting to breathe, begging the officers to stop pinning on the ground.
In a custodial death report that the police department submitted to the state in 2016, the department replied “no” to questions about whether Timpa was resisting arrest, threatening or fighting officers.
According to an autopsy, Timpa’s cause of death was rule a “homicide, sudden cardiac death” due to “the toxic effects of cocaine and the stress associated with physical restraint.”
Despite the news emerging from this case, no one rioted in Dallas, nor tried to use this incident to pursue a racial agenda.
There are important questions to ask about policing in America, but they should be done through the political process and in a peaceful manner.
... in case you haven’t guessed, it was a white guy.

Hello, CB. You are welcome.
You are welcome.
BEN SASSE statement: “There is no right to riot... But there is a fundamental—a Constitutional—right to protest, and I’m against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the Word of God as a political prop.”

It’s not peaceful if they don’t move when asked.
What a piece of crap.
How did the Secret Service moving people aside limit their right to protest? They’ve been “protesting” for 3-4 days now.
The President, or any people don’t have a right to walk down the street & must give way to “protesters”?

...of course, they can only assist local law enforcement.
Aren’t they furious looking, Ms.B?
Be skeerd, be very skeerd!!
How are ya doin’?
Cuomo wakes up and says ah-oh I'm screwed, time to talk tough or Cuomo FINALLY gets it.
Which is it?

HOLY COW. Mayor de Blasio just claimed that protesters are entitled to different rights because "racism" not afforded to the "aggrieved store owner or devout religious person who want to go back to services."

Very good! Of course he’s only doing it for his own political good.
I watched Tucker last night. I wonder if his original disdain for President Trump is surfacing again. I thought his rant at PDJT was uncalled for.

Oh ya...
I’m petrified!

*evil grin*
Doing okay,
Worked the Alzheimers unit all weekend and Monday too.
It’s a tough unit (heavy workload)and it’s hard to
medicate them for diabetes etc, due to their dementia-
but even so, I’ve always had a soft spot for them.
This past May was my 37th year doing this kind of work!
Tks. I agree with catturd 100%. Our President makes decisions on what he truly feels is best for All Americans. Its why his base has expanded to many blacks, and women and all people not just Republicans. Nothing wrong in my book. That’s been Republicans main problem...too narrow minded and not willing to hear All sides. Noting wrong helping families needing child care money after all we’re suppose to be the party of Life. It’s not easy raising a child on one salary. I have an adopted child so I see the coin on the opposite side. We’re also the Party of faith and compassion and certainly opening our arms to people on the Left now have open eyes. I was once a Democrat myself.
I think a lot of the people who were just standing around before curfew are young people who are living in small city apartments either not working or working from home. Forced to stay home for ten weeks, they are so glad to be out with other young people. Sadly, they are giving cover for the anarchist AntiFA types and the common criminal looters. These bystanders need to go home at curfew or darkness if their city is having any rioting.
The overly long and harsh lock-down rules on young people, realization that the C-virus is not bad for the young and now the excuse to protest for justice has created a perfect storm for those who hate America.
Add into the mix the many common criminals let out of jail because of the C-virus. How many of the looters are from this population?
He should be locked up for that statement.
What if the business owners or churchgoers are also black?
What about all the white protesters?
I’m glad I don’t live somewhere where I have no right to safety and security because of the color of my skin.
