Good people need to channel Bernie Goetz to protect society since the "justice system" won't do it - it has more sympathy for malefactors than it has for victims.
Hi Christopher, I just became a paid subscriber. You earned it with your excellent sourcing and clear insights about this story. Thanks for the hard work. I hope others subscribe, too. It’s shameful the mainstream cable and network media (even some podcasts) have not reported this story at all. It happened August 22nd, but I just heard about it on Substack today…and I read a LOT of news sites. Your coverage is excellent. Ought to be mandatory reading for everyone!
"Yet when Tony Timpa, a white man suffering a mental health crisis, was killed by police officers who knelt on him for over 14 minutes, longer than George Floyd, there was no movement, no mural, no media frenzy. Why?"
A big reason is because no one knew what happened for certain until the only footage of the incident, recorded on responding officers' body cameras, was released THREE YEARS after it occurred.
The reaction is disgusting...and predictable.
