Timpas win right to take cops to court over 'kneeling on neck' killing

[butters]

these cops were previously granted qualified immunity by a judge five weeks AFTER the George Floyd murder

after their family member was killed in 2016 by cops, and the cops got off with it and returned to their jobs, a Fifth circuit decision has overturned that ruling which allows his family to now proceed with litigation.

he called for help. they murdered him.

The 32-year-old, white, college-educated executive was off the medication he usually took for anxiety and schizophrenia, as he told the police dispatcher.

But when five Dallas police officers arrived on the side of the road where Timpa was, they did not give him the help he needed. Instead, they handcuffed him behind his back, zip-tied his feet, and Officer Dustin Dillard put his knee and bodyweight on Timpa’s back.

The officers’ body cameras recorded Timpa crying for help, pleading with them, saying “you’re gonna kill me!” over and over again. After nine minutes under Officer Dillard’s knee, Timpa stopped moving.

After 11 minutes, Timpa went limp, then silent. The officers joked and laughed that Timpa had fallen asleep. All of this was caught on the officers' body cameras. They had been trained that keeping someone in a prone position under an officer’s bodyweight was dangerous.

But Dillard kneeled on Timpa for more than 14 minutes. When an ambulance arrived, Dillard can be heard in the body camera video saying, “I hope I didn’t kill him.” More laughter.

Makes a person wonder just how many more toxic murderous assholes there are sprinkled throughout the country's law enforcement agencies.

Pathetic.

 

[GothTalk]

Abolish the police.

 

[Champakian]

Abolish the police.

Replace them with Walmart Greeters...


"May I help you with your looting?

"Mayhem is aisle four, that's not my aisle..."

 

[JohnnySavage]

Abolish the police.

Agreed.

Let the city folk sort things out for themselves.

We'll even give them fancy titles like "Social Worker" they help redistribute the wealth.

Agreed.

Yuuuuuuup!!!!

Time for a jail cell for these scumbags just like Chauvin, who was convicted of Murdering George Floyd....they should get no less.

One less thug.

"Thug" usually tied to people of color by racists.

But...

Read more, be racist less, cheesedick.

.
The Deplorables actually DO want to ABOLISH the police(see above posts), whereas the defund the police movement promoted by decent people simply wants to fund proactive crime reducing programs, which ultimately should require LESS confrontational policing.

And no, applaudimg the prosecution of BRUTAL police officers is not an attack on all police officers; though maybe there would be less brutal officers if the culture within police departments was a bit less accomodating to them.

A possible cause of schizophrenia is a type of child abuse, forcing kids to believe lies and disbelieve what they personally witness. Another possibility is a parasite in cats: https://sites.psu.edu/siowfa16/2016/12/01/cats-and-schizophrenia/

any position of 'power' will attract abusive arseholes along with those with only genuine intentions... be it cops, judges, politicians, priests, teachers, coaches, armed forces, business. It's so important to strip that from them (where possible, such as these cops) in order to preserve the perceived reputations of the good ones and bodies as a whole.

Agreed.

except most people are perfectly aware a functioning, unbiased, law-abiding police force IS needed–and desired–for societies to exist in relative peace. The true mechanics of defunding were only ever about shifting funds away from arming local cops like mercenaries to be able to fund mental health intervention to provide a) a healthier handling and outcome for people in crisis and b) relief for officers whose training isn't sufficient to deal properly with these situations and are often themselves placed at risk because of that.

i seem to have that effect

it's a gift

exactly... the reason i posted this particular article... murderous cops are murderous cops, whatever skin-shade their victims have. This poor guy was in crisis and even informed the dispatcher about his medications, and yet these cops STILL came in the way they did and took his life away.

Wow. Racist? No really. Truthfull ? Most times. This time Thug for sure. Piece of shit. Like to see what your reaction might be if put in a situation like that.

He has a mental condition and was off his meds. He's hardly a thug, dipshit. Can you not fucking read?

what evidence do you have that he was a thug? so far i've seen nothing suggesting he was anything other than what appears in the quote below:

Tony Timpa called the Dallas police in August 2016 to ask for help. The 32-year-old, white, college-educated executive was off the medication he usually took for anxiety and schizophrenia, as he told the police dispatcher.

as for 'what your reaction might be if...', these were policemen. FIVE policemen. Five policemen supposedly trained to deal with difficult situations. The fact that their training probably was insufficient to handle someone experiencing a mental health crisis speaks (shouts, even) for the need of funding going to facilitate medical professionals who CAN safely deal with it in a way that reduces the dangers to the person in crisis as well as any other professionals attending the call.

and...

do you think it was just fine for police to use force on someone restrained and subdued? the fifth circuit disagrees with you

On Dec. 15, the Fifth Circuit reversed the trial court’s decision making clear that officers violated the Fourth Amendment and are not entitled to qualified immunity when they use force on someone who is “restrained and subdued.”

According to the coroner’s report, Floyed died from a massive dose of fentanyl.

Nope. There were two autopsies and they disagreed on some details, but both agreed he was murdered. Fenatryl may have increased the likelihood of death, but both autopsies agreed the cause of death was restraint and neck compression.

We could all have fun I guess looking up unfortunate events that happen in Canada, cuz they do. But in America, we view Canada as a buffer from glaciers, nothing more. Thus, Canada bore’s us to death! We could literally care less about you.

dubious wrecks has lost the entire plot. bless.

Nope! There was an autopsy by a coroner and then an ME weighed in. Two different conclusions. I don’t know which is supposed to carry more weight, the coroner’s report or the ME’s.

Two different interpretations, but both concluded that it was a homicide.

No, there ain't. That cop's still on the force.
