k im bout to get hated on but fuck it. Tony Timpa of Dallas, Texas was murdered the same way as George Floyd, differences? Tony was white and George is black. Now, Tony wailed and cried multiple times saying “you’re going to kill me” and after he fell unconscious the officers-

who had him in handcuffs ASSUMED he was asleep but didn’t confirm he was breathing or even had a pulse, let alone checked. after a few moments the officers then laughed and joked about “waking” Tony for breakfast and making him waffles. not only that body camera footage showed-

first responders waited 4 minutes before even preforming CPR on Tony. Tony’s nose was buried while officers claimed to hear him snoring apparently unaware that the unarmed man was drawing his last breath. officers then pinned his handcuffed 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 the ambulance, Tony was pronounced dead. “the news” obtained the body camera footage after a 3 year fight for record related to Tony’s death. a judge said and i quote

“the public has a compelling interest in understanding what truly took place during a fatal exchange between a citizen and law enforcement." now Tony called 911 on August 10, 2016 from a dallas porn store parking lot saying he was afraid and he needed help he told the dispatcher

that he suffered from schizophrenia and depression and was off of his prescription medication. “the news” first reported Tony’s death in a 2017 investigation that dallas police refused to say how a man who called 911 for help ended up dead.

now, the newly then obtained video and records part of a lawsuit filed by Tony’s family in federal court alleging excessive force, contradict key claims Dallas police have made in defending the officers’ actions. police incident reports recounting the officers version claim Tony

was aggressive and combative, the video shows Tony writhing at times and clearly struggling to breathe asking the officers to quit pinning him down. on a custodial death report submitted to the state of texas in 2016 the department answered “no” to questions about Tony resisting

arrest, threatened or fought officers. police had previously claimed to use only enough force necessary to block Tony from rolling into a busy section of mockingbird lane. in the first minute the video shows Tony rolls around near the curb But the video shows a police car clearly

blocks traffic about a minute later near the bus bench where the officers had pinned him. Several officers continue pressing his restrained body into the ground. He had already been handcuffed by a private security guard before police arrived. He never threatens to hurt or kill

the police. The footage also shows the officers mocking Timpa as he struggled to live. Shortly after one officer ridicules Timpa’s repeated cries for help, an officer notes that he appears to be “out cold.” They joke that he’s merely asleep and try to wake him:

“It’s time for school. Wake up!” One officer mimics a teen saying: “I don’t want to go to school! Five more minutes, Mom!”

Tony died within 20 minutes of the officers arriving and at least 15 minutes before an ambulance transported his body to Parkland hospital. As the officers and paramedics struggle to load Timpa’s lifeless body onto the gurney, they begin to panic, seeing his glassy open eyes

and blades of grass stuck to his mouth. one of the officers asked “he didn’t just die there did he” 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."

The city of Dallas and Dallas County officials had fought since September 2016 to prevent public release of the records, arguing it could interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation. Officials then said the records could not be released because a criminal case against three

of the police officers never made it to trial. Those three officers -- Kevin Mansell, Danny Vasquez and Dustin Dillard -- were indicted by a grand jury in 2017 on charges of misdemeanor deadly conduct, three months after The News published its investigation into Timpa's death.

Following two days of testimony, the grand jury's indictment stated that the "officers engaged in reckless conduct that placed Timpa in imminent danger of serious bodily injury." But in March, Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot dismissed the charges.

Creuzot told The News that he met with "all three medical examiners" who had testified to the grand jury. They reportedly told him they did not believe the officers acted recklessly and "cannot, and will not, testify to the elements of the indictment beyond a reasonable doubt."

2 if the officers were placed on leave in december 2017 and the 3rd in march of 2018 and the officers returned in april after Creuzot dropped all the charges.
