His Name Is Tony Timpa And He Died EXACTLY Like George Floyd But He Was White And No One Cared

In the 2016 death of Tony Timpa, investigated by The Dallas Morning News, police officers responded after the 32-year-old man called 911 for help because he had schizophrenia and had recently gone off of his medication. According to video of the incident, officers pinned him facedown for at least 14 minutes. At one point, one officer asked if they should turn Timpa on his side, as in Floyd’s case, but that request was ignored. A medical examiner wrote Timpa’s death was caused by a combination of cocaine and stress from physical restraint, “sometimes referred to as excited delirium syndrome.”

This incident is nearly a carbon copy of the George Floyd incident, where police officer Derek Chauvin kept his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes. Mr. Floyd died later in the hospital but it wasn't the knee to the neck per se that killed him, although it was a contributing factor, he Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report stated Mr. Floyd died from a heart attack and had Fentanyl and Meth in his system at the time of death.

The deaths of both George Floyd and Tony Timpa are tragic and police played a major roll in each case and both incidents were captured on video, but Tony Timpa's death never became more than a small, local story in Texas for one simple reason: Tony was white and even though more unarmed whites are killed at the hands of police than blacks each year, the 'white privilege' myth constructed by the left would never let a story like this get traction.

Even though Tony Timpa was a schizophrenic and the police mocked him as he pleaded for his life, eventually dying on bodycam footage, the charges against the officers were dismissed and the story went away, just another statistic.
