“You’re going to kill me,” he told officers. And, as in Floyd’s case, the officers did not attempt life-saving measures, even as Timpa appeared limp and lifeless. Instead, they laughed at him and mocked him, talked to him like he was a child, and joked that it was time to wake up for school and to eat his “rooty-tooty-frooty waffles,” according to body camera footage of the incident and the lawsuit by Timpa’s family. [More]
Yet “two of the officers, Dillard and Vasquez, had qualified immunity, shielding them from civil liability on the grounds that they likely didn’t know that their actions were wrong”…?
So they’re legally criminally insane…?
And what, no riots…?

Suspected killer Kevin Mason, 28, was mistakenly released from the Marion County Jail two days after he was arrested. The sheriff’s office was tight-lipped about it until about a week after he was accidently set free on Sept. 13. “Without speaking to the specifics of this case, I don’t know why you would wait for so long to tell the public, unless there’s a very good investigative reason,” said Dr. Bryce Peterson, an adjunct professor at John Jay College who studies data relating to escaped inmates.
