The media chose to give us Floyds story 24/7 for days, they chose not to do the same for Tony Timpa, even though his story was even worse. The big difference was that Floyd was black and Timpa was white. The news media decides what you should be outraged about. If it was really about the police’s use of force, the Timpa story would have played 24/7 also. It’s not MAN dies that sells, it BLACK MAN dies.
