, a 32-year-old man named Tony Timpa died after a Dallas police officer knelt on his back and shoulders for more than 14 minutes in an encounter captured on body-camera footage.since former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering Mr. Floyd with a similar maneuver, criminal-justice researchers say.
In November 2016, Mr. Timpa’s family sued the Dallas officers involved in the encounter, claiming they asphyxiated Mr. Timpa, who had a history of mental troubles and was unarmed, handcuffed and barefoot during a struggle with police. He stopped moving minutes before the officer got off him, the footage shows.
A federal judge in Texas ruled last summer that the force used against Mr. Timpa wasn’t deadly or clearly excessive, dismissing the suit. Mr. Timpa’s family appealed to the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has yet to rule. A grand jury indicted three Dallas police officers in Mr. Timpa’s death, but prosecutors declined to pursue charges.
What needs to stop is resisting arrest. Even if the officer is a cunt or racist. You just have to surrender to the process and then file a complaint. We cannot expect officers to endanger their own lives by giving people the benefit of the doubt. And then die when they are wrong.
