- An Ohio man who was handcuffed and left facedown on the floor of a social club last week died in police custody, and the officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave.
Police body-camera footage released Wednesday shows a Canton police officer responding to a report of a crash and finding Frank Tyson, a 53-year-old East Canton resident, by the bar in a nearby American Veterans, or AMVETS, post.
The crash at about 8 p.m. on April 18 had severed a utility pole. Officer Beau Schoenegge's body-camera footage shows that after a passing motorist directed police to the bar, a woman opened the door and said: "Please get him out of here, now.”
Police grabbed Tyson, and he resisted being handcuffed and said repeatedly, “They’re trying to kill me” and “Call the sheriff,” as he was taken to the floor.
They restrained him - including with a knee on his back - and he immediately told officers he could not breathe. A recent Associated Press investigation found those words - “I can't breathe” - had been disregarded in other cases of deaths in police custody.
Officers told Tyson he was fine, to calm down and to stop fighting as he was facedown with his legs crossed on the carpeted floor. Police were joking with bystanders and leafing through Tyson's wallet before realizing he was in a medical crisis.
Five minutes after the body-camera footage recorded Tyson saying "I can’t breathe,” one officer asked another if Tyson had calmed down. The other replied, “He might be out.”
Tyson telling officers he was unable to breathe echoes the events preceding the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police in 2020. Tyson was Black, according to the coroner’s office. Both Canton Police Department traffic bureau officers who were placed on leave.
Tyson did not move when an officer told him to stand and tried to roll him over. They shook him and checked for a pulse.
Minutes later, an officer said medics needed to “step it up” because Tyson was not responding and the officer was unsure if he could feel a pulse. Officers began CPR.
The Canton police report about Tyson’s death that was issued Friday said that “shortly after securing him,” officers “recognized that Tyson had become unresponsive” and that CPR was performed. Doses of Narcan were also administered before medics arrived. Tyson was pronounced dead at a hospital less than an hour later.
Chief investigator Harry Campbell with the Stark County Coroner’s Office said Thursday an autopsy was conducted earlier in the week and Tyson’s remains were released to a funeral home.
Tyson was released from state prison on April 6 after serving 24 years on a kidnapping and theft case and was almost immediately declared a post-release control supervision violator for failing to report to a parole officer, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
A Tyson family member reached by phone Thursday declined immediate comment.
The Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation said in a statement Thursday that its probe will not determine if force was justified and that the prosecuting attorney or a grand jury will decide if charges related to the use of force are warranted.
Canton Mayor William V. Sherer II said he expressed his condolences to Frank Tyson's family in person.
“As we make it through this challenging time, my goal is to be as transparent with the community as possible,” Sherer said in a statement released Wednesday.
The U.S. Department of Justice has warned police officers since the mid-1990s to roll suspects off their stomachs as soon as they are handcuffed because of the danger of positional asphyxia.
Many policing experts agree that someone can stop breathing if pinned on their chest for too long or with too much weight because it can compress the lungs and put stress on the heart. But when done properly, putting someone on their stomach is not inherently life-threatening.
An investigation led by The Associated Press published in March found more than 1,000 people died over a decade after police subdued them through means not intended to be lethal, including prone restraint.
Here we go again….
Watch the clip. More of the same. Resisting resisting ... we should start teaching our families to comply and his medical issues would have not been mistaken for his bad behavior

Do you have any of your own thoughts? Or do you just quote better men
@@ToxicGamer86454if you absorbed the words of "better men" you wouldn't have made such a stupid statement.
@@georgehampton7579
lol Hey, at least you had an original thought, I'll give you props for that.
All that freaking out, jumping & screaming when all they wanted to do was find out about the crash. Looks to me like he worked himself into a heart attack.
So, you think the knee on the back of his was ok? Do you think letting him lay motionless without aid is ok? You freaking continue to show hate. Just say you hate black people and get it over with.
Police bootlicker, nut sac gobbler
Why he go from just on his back to his neck
Could it be the drugs he was on
Police need to stop with knee on the neck. That technique should be banned nation-wide. That being said this guy was very combative. We need a restraining device.
Man already had a wreck. Officers didnt even evaluate the mans condition first. Verbal Communication is key at first.🥀💖🙏🌱 Also handling for elderly should be different. They're not as flexible or bendable as young folks. Js...🤔
Suspect was combative before one word was said to him.
How many drugs was this one on this time?
It’s apparent that the man had lots of medical conditions that led to him having a cardiac event after getting all worked up.
And you have the galls to accuse other countries of human rights violations.
Who cares. Dont cry over spilled milk. Especialy when it was already spoiled.
CANTON IS MY HOMETOWN, AND I KNOW THEY ABOUT TO GO THE F*** OFF😡
Did they call the Sheriff?
ISN'T IT AGAINST THE LAW FOR POLICE OFFICERS PUT THEIR KNEE ON THE NECK AREA???????
😂
@@csan4596WP!!!!!
Isn’t it illegal to hit and run, resist arrest, besides this guy was in prison for 24 years for kidnapping and assault, no loss 🤷♂️🤣
It wasn't on his neck, and the officer was not applying a lot of pressure.....
Twas on his back.
Not neck.
Somebody in there tried to run him off the road it sounds like
Don't fight the cops. Pretty simple really.
Respect all people is simpler !!!!
Fighting police doesn't mean they're allowed to kill you, moron
So youre ok with cops walking up to you and throwing hand cuffs on without knowing if u did anything?
@@MrSuzukigsx10 Dude took out a utility pole and abandoned his crashed vehicle. They knew about that. He probably had warrants and/or was drunk.
@@MrSuzukigsx10😂 He knew exactly why they were there and what he had done. Does stupid hurt? 😅
Dude is combative from the second police walk in the door. Suspect caused everything.
Indeed. Out of prison for only 2 weeks after 24 years. Did he even have a
driver's license? Insurance? Was he drunk or high on dope at the time?
Was the car stolen? Was any evidence found in the car?
So, he causes some pretty significant damage, leaves the scene of the
crash, probably driving without a license or insurance, maybe drunk
or high. Yeah, he knows if he is caught that he is going right back to
prison. Then, the second the police walk into the bar, he freaks out.
What are the police supposed to do, humor him?
The police officers likely do not know the history on this individual when they arrive. You think it’s okay to restrain a person to the point where they say that they cannot breathe and then leave them unattended and restrained for 5 minutes? Would you look at it differently if it were an elderly white man? A women? Can you see where I’m going with this? They don’t know a criminal history and even if they did that doesn’t warrant tactics that could be life ending. If a college student goes out, has someone slip them something and then acts like this the actions of the police need to be the same as they would with this man. Our police officers receive far less education that in other developed countries, that’s a big part of the issue.
@@hansanderson6607 I understand and do agree. But after cuffing,could you have just sat him up? That’s all.
@@chatterbugmm watch the video. Bar management was asking police to remove him. Do you think they did that because he was in there acting civilized.?
Could say the same about your mom, could have just swallowed
Here we go again.....
I bet he wasn't on drugs and drinking!

I CANT BREATH I CANT BREATH I CANT BREATH...SEEMS TO BE THE LAST WORDS FOR BLACK GUYS IN POLICE CUSTODY...I DONT GET WHY THEY DONT TAKE THOSE 3 WORDS FAR MORE SERIOUS...YALL DONE FUCKED UP AGAIN
Again 😔
The police will never have to take those three words seriously for me as I won’t commit a crime, If I ever did on accident, I would comply. So regardless I would have lived in this situation regardless of the officers actions. Are you that fucking stupid?
It is grosely disproportionate to the led injections recieved by hundreds each weekend in our major cities.
Most criminals say that they can't breathe while fighting the arrest. It's a common tactic/ploy. He should have just cooperated, and then none of that would have happened.
Yeah but NOT being combative would stop this from happening.
Now he's going to go under the altar of the Lord, and he's going to ask the Lord when Lord😢😢😢

Get them in jail and the bystander, too. The bystander deserves to be brought to justice.
Bystander , you mean citizen? Imma level with you chief he'd be going to prison for saving the man's life if he attacked the cops.
@@thedaethbringer nah, that’s modern lynching, plain and simple. He needs to go to prison, too.
@@30OIvanova You are coping hard, but you do you.
@@thedaethbringer you’re part of the problem. Someone who thinks a person should lose his or her life over a minor accident is the worst human being. Where are your Christian values? Yeah, that’s right, you have NO values. End of the conversation!
Welcome2heII
Police officers in most developed countries receive a lot more training. We are failing our officers and our citizens by not mandating further education for our police.
These police officer don’t ever learn not to put their knee on somebody’s neck especially if they’re overweight.
🎯 Thank you! You won't roll the dice when an overweight older person states they cannot breath. I'm no medic bit after you have the cuffs on just sit the person up or roll on the side. If two fit officer's can't handle an older out of shape man they aren't fit for the job
Police didn't bother hear him out or deescalate the situation. They just grab him, handcuff him, and knee choked him! Then they go chit chat with their bar buddies. Where is your effing work ethic officers? Did you even give that black man a chance to explain himself? Damn you!
Did you even watch this?He was combative before police said one word to him. If you knock a power pole down, its not like police have the option to just not investigate what happened.
Then had the man on the ground with his pants pulled down and ass out. They literally could've pulled his boxers up but they purposely left them like that, which I also found strange behavior from the officer's. When he was on the ground seemingly losing consciousness, notice how the officer takes both his legs, crosses them over one another, pushing them into his back, further restricting his breathing. He wasn't resisting! He wasn't even moving, what was the purpose for the officer to use that type of restraint. They need to be charged.
He was acting like an animal from the beginning, nice try. Lets see how many drugs this one was on
@@ryeguy4449 I've seen police officers treat their animal dogs with tender, love, and care. They failed terribly at handling this animal.
Honeslty dont even give af. Spilled milk.
These cops are not very intelligent.
Déjà vu

Hello City of Canton,,, Get ready your checkbook. You will be writing a big check to the family of Mr. Tyson !!!!! Congrad's,,,, you have created generational wealth for the family of Mr. Tyson !!!!!
For sho😊 dumb a****!!!!
this would have never happened if white
i mean the shoe was on the other foot
There are 4 times as many white people killed by police every year
He knew they were going to kill him
Yeah you guys better leave the comments turned on! WE ARE FKNG SICK OF THIS CRAP! JUSTICE FOR THIS MAN!
Maybe Tyson should be held accountable for his actions that caused his death. Are these the types of comments you don't want to hear 😕
That man was a pile 💩, dude was in prison for kidnapping and assault, next 🤣
Oy vey agent provocateur
I'm pretty sure this is called mur dur...
No murder is an illegal taking of a like. This is a man that caused an accident, left the scene, (crime), resisted and irate, then along with poor heath decisions, had a heart attack due to his actions.
@ryanharkness1753 you can call it a heart attack or whatever, but evidence shows they f***ed up again!!🙄💯
