Flashback: A white man died in the same manner as George Floyd and nobody cared

As riots raged for George Floyd, a federal judge tossed aside the case of Tony Timpa, a white man who also died beneath the knee of a cop.

His name was Tony Timpa — but hardly anybody remembers that. On an August night in 2016 Timpa dialed 911. He told the dispatcher that he had stopped taking his prescribed schizophrenia medication and recently ingested cocaine. He said he was scared, felt "unsafe," and needed help.Officers found the man unarmed, already restrained by a security guard's handcuffs and in a state of confusion. They proceeded to handcuff him again, zip tie his legs together and kneel on his back for more than 13 minutes, cracking jokes until he died, begging for mercy. In early July 2020, a federal judge tossed Timpa's case aside as riots raged across the country in the wake of George Floyd's similar death at the hands of police.

The judge's decision did not even contest the medical examiner's finding that Timpa died as a result of "the toxic effects of cocaine and physiologic stress associated with physical restraint."...

None of the officers were removed from the Dallas police force. Four are on the service to this day and one has retired at the age of 50. The Dallas Morning News published a curated version of one officer's body-camera footage (found below) that summarizes the events leading to Timpa's death. A raw version of the footage shows Timpa crying out, gasping for air, pleading for help, dying and laying in the back of an ambulance as paramedics try to revive him. "You're gonna kill me! You're gonna kill me! You're gonna kill me!" Timpa can be heard exclaiming in the video. Meanwhile, officers are apparently unsympathetic to his plight. One cop jokes that Timpa needs a "Green Oaks cocktail special," a reference to the sedatives used at a local psychiatric facility...

Timpa eventually loses consciousness with his nose and mouth pressed into the dirt. One officer says he can hear Timpa snoring and infers that he must be asleep. Many have postulated that this sound was in fact what's known as a "death rattle," a snoring-like noise which is commonly heard when "death is very near" and "the body has begun to shut down," After this sound is heard, the officers begin to laugh. "Tony, time for school," one cop says, jokingly trying to wake him up. "Five more minutes, mom," another responds, mocking Timpa, who is likely dead at this point in the video. "First day of school, I made breakfast, scrambled eggs, your favorite," one cop says, evoking laughter from the others. 

The jokes kept rolling even after Timpa's body was loaded into an ambulance. "Hope I didn't kill him," one officer says in the video while his colleague can be seen wearing a wide smile at the right of the frame. "We ain't friends," another responds, jokingly distancing himself from the killing. This draws laughter from what sounds like at least three of the cops. Timpa's passing did not enjoy significant media attention. The Dallas Morning News followed the story closely, but it hardly received any play at the national level. Some believe this lack of attention is due to the fact that Timpa was white ... As of publication, a petition requesting "justice for Tony Timpa" has received less than 16,000 signatures; a similar petition for George Floyd gained roughly 20 million.
