buried in gold coffin like Floyd? Did you know of Timpa? Did the media cover his story or was he just a sorry ass white man in USA? Did his family get 27 million like Floyd's? Is the cop accountable?
Well, Dr. Paul, this is the US. Dave Grossman has long been teaching the cops that the orgasms Americans get from killing foreign kids, women, elderly and other civilians for the US when occupying their countries on trumped up charges of weapons of mass destruction etc ain't nuthin compared to what you can get from Killing whitey for kicks back home in the states.
Killing for Their Country: A New Look at “Killology”
Then what infuriates me is when he does that bike race with Wounded Vets. Has he no shame. He's the cause of their disabilities now. You wouldn't even know that GW was alive. That's the way that he wants to keep it. He knows what he has done.
To see those cops on their knees is DISGUSTING! They are no better than any virtue-signaling leftist bitch or any antifa bitches. NO COP WHO DOES THAT DESERVES TO BE IN THAT JOB OR BE SHOWN ANY RESPECT.
George Fucking Floyd was a fucking criminal who died of a drug overdose. There should be NO remorse for him, and NO money. The criminal Obama deep state regime used that incident to incite an insurrection in this country, and any corporation or major league sports org. that pandered to the fucking antifa and black lives matter bull shit should be boycotted until they go out of business.
2020 was a very sad and disgusting and shameful time in American history.
no remorse I agree, Floyd was a criminal IMO....many people made money off of the criminal...I am not saying the cop should have knelt on his neck and all who do wrong must face justice...but there remains lots we do not know...and yes, if police do wrong, punish them...
And don't get me wrong - I have always supported law enforcement, but our justice system has really broken down. I am also appalled that any cop would be so callous as to cause the death of that man Mr. Timpa. It seems totally unjustified. But you make a good point, where was the news coverage or the outrage?
You should see the pigs up here who are OPP criminals. One raped a drunk woman and took pictures but got to receive full recompense for four years. The OPP need to be defunded and replaced by the RCMP.
Personally, I am against giving the police blanket indemnity. I don't want to live under a police state. They are supposed to protect the citizens, not harm them. There are some very good police, there are also bad. Power seems to corrupt many.
Laughing at someone dying is unacceptable. This goes for Doctors and Nurses as well as Police.
An ethnic Dane was killed by police when he was put in restraint, though no kneeling. After this the practice was banned, and police no longer allowed to restrain in that way. Doubt the family got much money though.
Dallas City Council members on Wednesday approved a $2.5 million partial settlement for the family of Anthony “Tony” Timpa, who died in Dallas police custody in 2016.
Last September, a Dallas County jury awarded Timpa’s teenage son $1 million in damages in his family’s federal wrongful death lawsuit and nothing to Timpa’s parents or estate.
In a statement ahead of Wednesday's meeting, a city spokesperson said the partial settlement was reached with three of the four plaintiffs in the lawsuit, including Timpa’s son, but did not specify exactly who would receive the settlement money or how it would be divided.
“This settlement allows the jury’s verdict to be fulfilled, and the litigation to be finally concluded as to these plaintiffs,” the statement reads.
Timpa, a 32-year-old trucking executive from Rockwall, had called the police outside a sex store in Dallas and explained over the phone he was dealing with schizophrenia and anxiety and was off his medication. After Timpa crossed the road in a panic, two security guards handcuffed him to the ground.
The lawsuit alleged Dallas Police Officer Dustin Dillard violated Timpa’s Fourth Amendment rights by kneeling on his back for about 14 minutes while he was handcuffed — excessive force the lawsuit says led him to stop breathing.
The suit also alleged Officers Raymond Dominguez and Danny Vasquez and Sgt. Kevin Mansell were liable for Timpa’s death for failing to intervene. Dominguez and Vasquez can be heard in body camera footage during the arrest joking and pretending to try to wake Timpa for school.
Attorneys for the city argued Timpa's preexisting health conditions led to his death and the officers followed all protocol in his arrest.
A jury found all of the officers except Mansell liable but ruled Dillard and Vasquez were protected by qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that protects government officials like police officers from liability in constitutional rights violation cases.
The family's attorney, Geoff Henley, filed a motion for a new trial for damages in October. The settlement is still far less than the more than $300 million he sought on behalf of Timpa’s family.
Henley did not immediately respond to a KERA News request for comment but told the Dallas Morning News the $2.5 million covers attorney fees, pre-judgment interest and litigation risks.
I’ve seen too many abuses by the blue/green/tan/black whatever color their costume as well as the screaming incompetence in matters of [[human nature]. If these machismos are sent out on duties Without Prerequisite Medical training and Competence They be more ‘the Problem’ than a solution.
Wow, I had never heard of this. I think that both cops should not have kneeled on either Tony or George, and that both of these cases seem very similar, and that the families of both Tony and George should receive comparable amount of money. I would say 5 million for each would be fair, and that both cops should go to prison for around 5 years too. Also, there should be some sort of rule that cops should never kneel on a person unless absolutely necessary, and if they do to never do it for longer than a min or two.
I dont think there should be any kneeling...and if so, we need serious debate ethics too and science to figure out how can be done without tragedy...because there are many structures and obstructions that can take place.
you are right, no one is to kneel on anyone, separate out what the crime or action is...it is dehumanizing. no one should feel that. but watch the video of the police after
SHEKU BAYOH in UK! Family did not get special treatment and are still fighting the system for justice. The difference in treatment must be an American thing?
No, it is absolutely not new. According to the Oxford English Dictionary:
"The earliest known use of the noun find is in the late 1700s.
OED's earliest evidence for find is from 1776, in the writing of B. Simonds.
It is also recorded as a verb from the Old English period (pre-1150)."
I work in mining. The technical literature has always referred to the discovery of a mining deposit as "a find."
On other areas of linguistic innovation, I am with you. The stupidity of "learning" as a noun drives me nuts. "Learning" is a gerund and we already have a noun - "lesson" - for the noun relating to the learning process.
He couldn't breathe so it was the cops knee on his body that caused it.
Do I really have to point out to reasonably intelligent people that you CANNOT TALK if you CANNOT INHALE!!! If you can talk you are inhaling. If you are inhaling enough to talk then the cops knee did not kill you. It takes about 10 minutes of no oxygen for brain death. The question that has to be answered is why this man, and Floyd, could talk shortly before death yet weren't getting enough oxygen into their bodies. Of course, are we sure that they died of asphyxiation?? What were the autopsy results?? Floyd's were more consistent with drug overdose. What about this man?
Would have been nice if I could have found the link to the video.
It is important for everyone to know about this. Officer Tatum was interviewed by the BBC back in 2020 about George Floyd and he took the opportunity to highlight Tony Timpa on air before he then lectured them on their race baiting politics until they shut him down. I wouldn't be surprised if that video has disappeared.
Tragic indeed. I am sorry I can't watch the video. What I would like to know is if there is a test for sociopathy? ( I sm sure there is) If there is, you know for SURE, the police and the army don't use it to deny conscription.
Floyd was a useless career criminal, who died according to an autopsy of a fentanyl and amphetamine overdose. He was useless, no good and died at his own hand. Should have got buried in the city dump.
BOOM , I agree that...no one is to be killed...and police are not to use brutal force, but Floyd was bad. I think there are bad among us, I dont know all about Floyd to make that call but the image etc. painted of him is a fraud...he was a thug...but at no time are our rights to be abused or we be dehumanized
watch the video but go to minute 11.55 when he took his last breaths and listen to the cops laughing

Did a Police Trainer Say Police Have the 'Best Sex' After Killing Someone?
The remark was featured in a 2016 documentary on the militarization of U.S. police.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/police-trainer-best-sex-killing/
yes, millions in the Middle East were killed wrongfully in Iraq etc. that is a stain and I do not know how Bush could live with himself.
Then what infuriates me is when he does that bike race with Wounded Vets. Has he no shame. He's the cause of their disabilities now. You wouldn't even know that GW was alive. That's the way that he wants to keep it. He knows what he has done.
He has no shame. Also I'm told that Christianity is not the real religion of the Bush family and they also follow another religion.
Really....I didn't know that. Wonder what religion?
It's one of the Abrahamic religions.
Sickening.
Where is the video?

yes it was shameful...

I am also appalled that any cop would be so callous as to cause the death of that man Mr. Timpa. It seems totally unjustified. But you make a good point, where was the news coverage or the outrage?
same, you echo my views...listen to the police here and the shit they are talking in the background, you got to listen, watch the 27 minute video
he is a white man in America, he is NOTHING
You should see the pigs up here who are OPP criminals. One raped a drunk woman and took pictures but got to receive full recompense for four years. The OPP need to be defunded and replaced by the RCMP.
Terrible! This should not have happened. Condolences to the family.
yes...deep condolences, but watch the video, it is raw and how he died...share it...look at the police laughing
Personally, I am against giving the police blanket indemnity. I don't want to live under a police state. They are supposed to protect the citizens, not harm them. There are some very good police, there are also bad. Power seems to corrupt many.

needs same in USA and Canada and everywhere
with adrenaline in the mix, the police can go overboard and sometimes unknowingly...
Thank you for reminding people of the vast evil and hypocrisy of the American Left.

thanks for this Chris, you remain a hero of mine
I think family should go back to court and get justice
the police were wrong here and I love the blue
I’ve seen too many abuses by the blue/green/tan/black whatever color their costume as well as the screaming incompetence in matters of [[human nature]. If these machismos are sent out on duties Without Prerequisite Medical training and Competence They be more ‘the Problem’ than a solution.
Thank you Greg !
There will be closure. It’s gonna be ugly. But it’s coming.

Holy shit

Good find, Paul!
Actually, 'find' is a verb, not a noun. I revise this to -- Good discovery, Paul!
"Find" can be either a noun or a verb.
I think that's a new-ish thing...like 'parenting,' 'read,' etc. I'm not a fan. But I'm splitting hairs!
No, it is absolutely not new. According to the Oxford English Dictionary:
"The earliest known use of the noun find is in the late 1700s.
OED's earliest evidence for find is from 1776, in the writing of B. Simonds.

Ha! Thank you and shame on me for being so cursory.
Mining is cool.
Appreciate your discourse, Emily
Anyone providing me a valid reason to consult the OED is more than OK in my book!
Ditto !
You never know what you are going to learn here on Substack.
What a gift it is.
The world is upside down with clown politicians.
