Yes and as I have stated multiple times many are using his death well beyond police brutality. If the OP using Tony Timpa's death to make a point or personal agenda is upsetting to you, that should upset you as well, right?

Dude, do you have a reading comprehension issue? I already said multiple times I am against using his death for a personal agenda.

Why not?

It was probably staged.

Going off of his utube video, I'd say he may have even agreed to it. (Might have been terminal anyway, and offered money. )

You'll know if a George Soros controlled charity decides to offer his kid a full ride scholarship to the university of choice.

If that happens, then yes. He probably agreed to it.


If his killer, the cop that he personally knew, gets a sweet security job at a George Soros controlled facility somewhere once he's gotten out of jail, .... then you would really know.

Really ? Well , what about the News that he was a Counterfeiter , Ex Porn Star 3rd Class , Heroin Junkie , Knew the Cop that Killed him Personally and Socially ,. and was an All Around Disappointment to his Parents ? So Which is It . ?

The counterfeit bill was probably part of the stage.

The narrative is best served if he gets killed over something dumb that nobody cares about.

He probably had a sordid history, but then "came to Jesus" when he was diagnosed with heart disease, then got covid (which he survived, but made his condition worse)

Medical bills piling up. Someone offers him the hope to make it all go away. Maybe give his kid something after he's gone.

Just because someone is a criminal doesn't mean they don't love their kids. (Especially if he's on his way out anyway.)

That perspective is very idealistic, and ultimately takes away your freedom of choice, will , etc.
Love the lord not ideas. This is how the blind get led.

the posters who keep saying " no body protested for timpa" well oh the irony because that includes each and every one of YOU!!! YOU DID NOTHING.....I will say ,this cause of death shouldn't happen to anyone....I did some research .....people keep on posting ffloyd did drugs had drug in his system the day he died......well Timpa was addicted to drugs and alcohol was in and out of rehab and coc aine was found in his system the day he died......but you posters leave that out. PIna had schizophrenia A SERIOUS mental disease....stopped taking his meds...how responsible is that??


AGAIN the way he died should not have happened....but he is not the angel some are painting him out to be....

So with the above being said, he sounds like a good guy right?

Now if this had been anyone else, most reactions to this instance would be he was a criminal. Now of course police using excessive force is not something any of us should be skipping over, the officer in question clearly used excessive force that was not needed. However when we now have this mass demonstration of George Floyd being deemed like this man was a kind and law abiding citizen to the rest of us is just wrong. Having graffiti put up around the streets advertising this man as some kind of idol, to be looked up to is down right wrong on so many levels.

What really really leaves me gobsmacked is the following occurred to this man, not a word:

Timpa's death in the parking lot of an adult video store came after he called 911, saying he was off his medication for schizophrenia and depression and needed help. Questions about what happened in the moments leading to his death have swirled as city officials argued against the release of the body camera footage, according to the Dallas Morning News, but a judge on Monday sided with news outlets who had sought to make the video public.

CBS link

HE called the police to protect the public against himself possibly becoming an issue to them because he knew he was off his medication. Yet they come and pin him down, an unarmed man, make sick jokes about him and lean on him for 14 minutes until the man dies. Then they make fun of him and ending it with "I hope I didn't kill him". They did kill him.

Now where in earth is the moral ground of justice?

A career criminal gets more attention and outcry just because of his colour than a white man who was medically sick.

Oh come on, he was a GENTLE GIANT, and respected in the community. We can all agree that he did not deserve a death sentence, the police should be prosecuted for their actions.

But the media and family narrative on the gentle giant is laughable.

Another pent up none argument.

It is obvious, blatantly obvious nobody should be dying from any reason never mind at the hands of the law thats supposed to protect and serve. So with that out the way...

This is not about pros and cons, it is about blatant false advertising of these events. Allowing communities to advertise to not only impressionable young adults but kids that this man was a good man, yet clearly he continued to find himself on the wrong side of the law. Clearly when this happens, then things go wrong, if he had not been committing crime, he would have found himself in this altercation at all. So yes, his lifestyle does play a part in his demise.

and now do you not get it? like so many others, no one should need to protest for such things, vast majority of cases are dealt with in court and are often more favourable to justice than you would be led to believe. Just sounds good to keep saying the law does not punish those committing crimes with the correct sentence. They do and often continue to give harsh punishments.

So with that in mind also, no one needs to protest. Protesting is for often using a tragedy like this to promote their own malicious message.

I would hope this is obvious but clearly not, its just protest, protest, protest. Protest about the sky not being green instead of blue......

I almost didn't watch the George Floyd video.

What bothers me is he used fake money and was confronted by store workers. They left, then cops came then more cops. Why didn't he leave before they got there?
The officers are all guilty of his death. I don't see it as murder they were completely negligent.

Never underestimate what a man will do for his kid.

Especially a reasonably smart man, who grew up poor and saw the despair. You offer to make his kid not poor if he does something for you. And he's already dying anyway? (Covid couldn't have made his heart condition better.)

But White privilege, social justice, systemic racism or something!
Eta: No peace no justice too!

You keep thinking that, someone needs to make excuses for the cops that killed him, might as well be you.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to be in a position where it's my life or theirs in efforts to protect the general public only for the general public to support the very person I am trying to protect them from! Can you trust a criminal when he says he can breathe? Trusting him could take you away from your family. Best advice is to avoid criminal activity and support your local law enforcement.
