Did you ever hear of Tony Timpa before I posted his name? Of course you didn’t. His story wasn’t on every news network 24/7 for days. There were no riots, no calls for police reform. No celebrities spoke out on his behalf. Please, the only similarity is they died the same way, the big difference was the color of their skin!
