In video of the April 18 encounter, Frank Tyson can be seen lying motionless on the floor of a bar for more than 5 minutes before police check him for a pulse.

The Canton Police Department in Ohio has released body camera video from the night a 53-year-old man died after he repeatedly told officers “I can’t breathe” as he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back and he was pinned to the ground.

In video of the encounter on April 18, the man, Frank Tyson, can be seen lying motionless on the floor of a bar for more than 5 minutes before police check him for a pulse and about 8 minutes before CPR is started.

In the nearly 36-minute video, police respond to the scene of a single-car crash to find a downed power pole and an unoccupied vehicle with the driver’s side door open and an airbag deployed.

    Why are you getting so upset? He’s taking a very rational approach and asking relevant questions.

    You should really work on your insecurity.

      there is nothing relevant or acceptable about suggesting that an unhealthy person could reasonably die by being arrested. The methods of arrest are objectively fucking incorrect if they result in death for anyone generally being non violent.
