‘You’re Gonna Kill Me’: Body-Cam Footage Shows Cops Mocking Dallas Man as He Dies
“He didn’t just die down there did he?” an officer asked minutes after 32-year-old Tony Timpa lost consciousness while being restrained by police. “I hope I didn’t kill him.”

Handcuffed and pinned to the ground on the side of the road, Tony Timpa begged Dallas police officers more than two dozen times for help before he fell unconscious and died, according to newly released body-camera footage.
“You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me!” he continuously yelled.
In the footage, officers can be heard mocking the 32-year-old Dallas man—who called authorities for help in 2016 after taking drugs and forgetting his schizophrenia medication—for several minutes. When cops finally loaded him into an ambulance, he was already dead.
“You will see how long it is that it takes for them to realize he’s not doing anything,” Geoff Henley, Timpa’s family attorney, said Wednesday.
