The death of another black man while in custody by the American police

According to the Tasnim International News Agency, the video released by the Ohio police shows the images of a 53-year-old black man named “Frank Tyson” who repeatedly told the police during his arrest; “I can't breathe”, died at a local hospital.

.

According to these images, Canton, Ohio police arrested him in a cafe in this city and handcuffed him and pressed his back to the floor, while he repeatedly repeated that he could not breathe.

According to this report, the police arrested him for fleeing the scene of a car accident on April 18.

These images have been published by some local media on social networks, but the Canton Police Department has not yet responded to these images and has refused to confirm the details of the incident.

In this 36-minute clip, a police patrol officer approaches a car that has hit a light pole, and another person who witnessed the incident tells the police officer that the driver of the car went to the nearest restaurant. The police then enter the restaurant and find Tyson standing in the restaurant. The police attempt to grab his hands and arrest him as Tyson repeatedly yells, “They're trying to kill me” and “Call the police.” The officers knock Tyson to the ground and handcuff him, with one of them pressing his knee into Tyson's back near his neck for 30 seconds.

Meanwhile, Tyson's voice can hardly be heard as he repeats many times; “I can't breathe…, I can't…, let go of my neck.”, but the police officer shouts; “Calm down, you're fine”!

The footage then shows Tyson lying motionless on the ground with his face down for about six minutes while police officers talk to restaurant waiters.

Officers then check on Tyson, who appears to be unconscious. Their voices are heard saying; “Is he breathing? Does he have a pulse?”

Eight minutes after the police handcuffed Tyson, they removed the handcuffs and began CPR, then emergency services arrived on the scene and took him to the nearest hospital.

Tyson eventually died at the hospital, though Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. The cause of Tyson's death has not yet been determined.

The way the police treated this black man is reminiscent of the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police in 2020. At that time, the police officer pressed his knee on George Floyd's throat, causing his death.

On May 25, 2020, Derek Chauvin and other Minneapolis police officers attempted to arrest George Floyd, a 46-year-old black citizen, on suspicion of using a counterfeit $20 bill. Derek Chauvin pressed his knee on George Floyd's neck for nearly 10 minutes during his arrest and eventually killed him. The passers-by who were passing by recorded this incident with a mobile camera and published it widely on social networks. In the video, a black man who appears to be in his forties, struggling to breathe, tells a white policeman who has put his weight on his neck; “I can't breathe,” eyewitnesses can also be heard telling the police officer to let Mr. Floyd breathe. Another witness tells the police; “Mr. Floyd's nose is bleeding.”, another says that it would be better if he took his foot off his neck, but the officers on the scene do not allow people to get close, and even a little tension arises.

George Floyd's last words before his death, which he said several times; “I can't breathe” has become one of the slogans of protesters against racism and police brutality in the United States over the past few years.

The killing of George Floyd led to nationwide protests in the United States and other parts of the world against violent and racist police behavior, and the protesters demanded the reform of the police and systematic racism.

About a year later, the court of the American state of Minnesota, Derek Chauvin, sentenced the police officer responsible for the murder of George Floyd to 22 and a half years in prison, but not long ago. He was stabbed and wounded in federal prison.

Not long ago, three years after Floyd's death At the hands of the American police, a court approved the implementation of extensive police reforms in the city of Minneapolis.

Earlier too The result of the investigation by the US Department of Justice about the police of the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota in this country, approx 3 A year after the violent killing of black George Floyd by the police in this area, he reported excessive violence and racism in this security institution..
