Here is a portion of the war on the west by Douglas Murray. So it is worth pointing out a potentially unpopular but nevertheless crucial fact about this origin story which is that there is still no evidence that the killing of George. Floyd was a racist murder at the trial of Derek Chauvin. No evidence was produced to suggest that it was a racist
murder. If there are been any such evidence that Chauvin Harbor bird deep animus against a black Americans and set out that may morning hoping to murder a black person, then the prosecution chose to make no such evidence available at Children's trial. In fact, there is good evidence to suggest that no racial element existed at all. How can we say that one reason? Is that for years before Floyd's death on August 10th 2016, another man was killed in almost
the exact same. Terrific circumstances as was Floyd 32 year-old. Tony tempeh was killed in Dallas. While being detained by five police officers, he himself called 911 from a parking lot saying that he was afraid and needed assistance. He told the services that he suffered from depression and schizophrenia and failed to take his medication. He was reportedly off his mental health medication. Though he had like Floyd Aiken, other drugs.
The detention and death of Tony tempeh like those of George, Floyd was caught on camera. This time in police body, cam footage like Floyd tempeh was unarmed and like Floyd, his death was horribly, brutally, protracted like Floyd, the policeman detaining tempeh, could hardly have come across as more callous and titled or flippant in detaining the life
of a man. Tempeh can be heard in the Edge wailing, and pleading, with police, as he is handcuffed and pinned To The Ground by his shoulders, knees and neck just as George. Floyd yelled that. He couldn't breathe Tony. Tempeh could repeatedly be heard screaming, you're going to kill me.
You're going to kill me. He pleaded for help more than 30 times, he was held in exactly the same knee hold position that Floyd was held in but Ava was held in this position for a full 13 minutes before finally losing Consciousness, as he lay there, the police officers, laughed, and joked about him. When the First Responders arrived, they waited for four
minutes before beginning CPR. While the last gasps of life left, Tony Tempest body, the detaining, officers joked that they could hear him snoring so much for the similarities, what
is more? Noteworthy are the differences between the two cases in the case of George Floyd, the footage of the killing emerged immediately, whereas it took the Dallas Morning News, three years of legal fights, Acquire the police body, cam footage of the temple killing and whereas the facts surrounding Floyd's death emerged, swiftly the facts about
tempeh, took years to come out. The police reports of the tip of killing turned out to be seriously contradictory in themselves and even more seriously. So, when the tape of the killing was finally released, one of the Dallas Police Department Records reported that tempeh had been combative with sirs, the footage that was eventually released showed that this was not true. He was already handcuffed and restrained by private security guards by the time, the Dallas
Police arrived. But there is another major difference between the cases as well with in under a year of the death of George. Floyd Derek Chauvin, was tried and convicted on all counts, whereas for years, after the death of Tony tempeh, in July of 2020, a federal judge Throughout a suit brought against the five officers who caused the death of tempeh. The punitive charge was that they had used excessive force. No, officer was ever charged.
One of the officers involved has now retired, but four of the five officers remain on active duty. Okay, okay.
