'You're gonna kill me!': Dallas police body cam footage reveals the final minutes of Tony Timpa's life Timpa wailed and pleaded for help more than 30 times as officers pinned his shoulders, knees and neck to the ground...

Tony Timpa wailed and pleaded for help more than 30 times as Dallas police officers pinned his shoulders, knees and neck to the ground.

“You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me!”

After Timpa fell unconscious, the officers who had him in handcuffs assumed he was asleep and didn’t confirm that he was breathing or feel for a pulse.

As precious minutes passed, the officers laughed and joked about waking Timpa up for school and making him waffles for breakfast.

Body camera footage obtained Tuesday by The Dallas Morning News shows first responders waited at least four minutes after Timpa became unresponsive to begin CPR. 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 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....

On a custodial death report submitted to the state in 2016, the department answered "no" to questions about whether Timpa resisted arrest, threatened or fought officers....

Timpa died within 20 minutes of police arriving, and at least 15 minutes before an ambulance eventually transported his body to Parkland hospital....An autopsy ruled Timpa's cause of death was a homicide, sudden cardiac death due to "the toxic effects of cocaine and the stress associated with physical restraint."

Excerpt This happened in 2016, but saw no riots.

Tony Timpa died in August 2016 at age 32. His family has fought since then to find answers in his death.

However, while the Lord Jesus is no respecter of persons, and by His sinless shed blood has redeemed souls out every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Rv. 5:9); in contrast are those racists who attribute guilt to a class of people because of the color of their sin.

And who work to seduce souls with the demonic victim-entitlement mentality, incite discord and violence as a means of revolution in order to selfishly obtain power, being proxy servants of the devil who inspires them.

Their rage is from the pit of hell.

Proverbs 6:16-19
16 These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

Charges were dropped and the officials tried to suppress the release of the video on several grounds.

All lives matter.

Even babies.

Police brutality is no laughing matter

Why did they keep him prone for 13 minutes as opposed to throwing him in the bad of a squad car?

It wasn’t like they were going to just let him go (and he was the one who’d made the 911 call).

The official lied and said he was combative yet in some filings they said he was not.

And consider what liberals fostered in regards to the black family

18 A heart that devises wicked plans,

Data from U.S. Census reports reveal that between 1880-1960, married households consisting of two-parent homes were the most widespread form of African-American family structures. Although the most popular, married households decreased over this time period. Single-parent homes, on the other hand, remained relatively stable until 1960; when they rose dramatically.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-Ruggles-28] A study of 1880 family structures in Philadelphia, showed that three-quarters of Black families were nuclear families, composed of two parents and children. In New York City in 1925, 85% of kin-related Black households had two parents. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-jewishworldreview.com-29] In 1991, 68% of Black children were born outside of marriage. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-20] In 2011, 72% of Black babies were born to unmarried mothers.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-21][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-22] In 2015, 77% of Black babies were born to unmarried mothers.

Yes, and the liberal heart is guilty of all seven of these abominable sins.

That was not my point - and I do not share a basic animus against police, though some are corrupt - but my point was that of the double standard used by liberals in reporting and acting in order to stir up strife and obtain more power.

In July 2016 in Fresno, CA, 19 year old Dylan Noble was gunned down by 2 police following a traffic stop. Dylan made no aggressive moves and was several feet away from the officers. He appeared to be under influence of drugs/alcohol. He was NOT armed. They just shot him and there is a video of the incident. Guess what, he was WHITE.

I hate having to church shop.

“Police brutality is no laughing matter”

And it’s ubiquitous. I was in the military and sitting in a bar in Baumholder, Germany when I saw the Rodney King beatdown broadcast across the globe and into that pub.

I was ashamed. I hated the questions the locals would ask about our Polizei.

I wonder what percentage of cops have a sadist tendency, and if it’s part of the reason they become cops.
