In case you want proof of this, look up Tony Timpa.

Like Floyd:

  • Called the cops on himself, resisted arrest

  • Was placed stomach-down with handcuffs and knee restraint for extended period of time (14 minutes versus Floyd's 8)

  • Begged for air.

  • Died before reaching the hospital.

  • Had underlying health problems that heavily contributed to his death (nonlethal holds effectively became lethal)

Unlike Floyd:

  • The cops were recorded as openly mocking Timpa's requests for air, continuing to mock him after he went unresponsive.

  • The extent of Timpa's crimes was a DUI in 2013.

  • Timpa was white.

  • Not a single protest or riot.

  • Minimal media coverage.

  • Jury unanimously decided the cops were not at fault, all cops walked, received no punishment related to their work or the legal system.

Oh, I know. BLM and the like only come out when it involves a white man in the killing of a black person. These people don't care that black crime will result in blacks engaging with the cops, and they never tell the community to comply with the cops. BLM/Libs just want to promote racism and other nonsense. :/
