Some of my friends are sharing a story about a young man named Tony.
During his arrest he was treated badly by the police who even mocked him.

This caused no demonstration or riots.

Here is more on this story

The body camera footage tells the story: Tony Timpa was struggling, begging Dallas police officers who were holding him in a controversial position to let him go.

Within minutes he had stopped breathing, while officers joked that he had fallen asleep, according to the footage first obtained from the police department by The Dallas Morning News after a nearly three-year battle for its release -- part of the newspaper's investigation into the August 2016 death of the 32-year-old man.
The City of Dallas and its police department fought the release of the footage, first citing an ongoing investigation that saw three officers indicted, then the case's dismissal.

If I was an American I would hold my elected politician accountable
because the George Floyd case is not the only one.
