march 22 2022 You all know George Floyd. Floyd was a career criminal who died under the knee of a policeman on May 25, 2020. His COD was listed as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.” Although he had a lethal level of fentanyl in his blood when he died it was dismissed as a possible COD, as was his heart disease. One might be tempted to think George Floyd was the only person ever to die under the knee of a policeman (doing what he was trained to do) but one would be wrong. One might think that there were others who “couldn’t breathe” but one would be wrong.
Disturbing police body camera footage released Wednesday shows a man being restrained by Dallas officers before his death and yelling, “You’re gonna kill me!”
The footage showing the August 2016 death of Tony Timpa in Dallas shows an officer pinning him to the ground with his hands cuffed behind him for nearly 14 minutes as the 32-year-old eventually becomes unresponsive. Officers are heard joking that Timpa had fallen asleep, with one yelling “five more minutes, mom!”
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.
A California father’s harrowing final moments have emerged in harrowing police footage showing him scream ‘I can’t breathe’ while dying as he was held face-down on the ground so cops could extract a blood sample.
Edward Bronstein, 38, died on March 31, 2020, less than two months before George Floyd was killed by police in Minnesota, after an altercation during his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
He was pulled over for a DUI, but taken to a police station after refusing to give a blood sample, which his family says was due to a fear of needles. Bronstein began wailing with fear after being pinned to the ground face-down shortly afterwards, and died shortly afterwards, with efforts to revive him proving unsuccessful.
