- An officer can be seen placing his knee on Frank Tyson's upper body for roughly 30 seconds. More than five minutes passed before police checked Tyson for a pulse.

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.
The same week we have a District Attorney flee the police, fail to follow directions, engage in abusive language and run into her house. Yet no hands on. Two standards of justice?
"we showed them the police bodycam video" Really? All of it? highly doubtful.....
If he was released two weeks ago, did he have a license after 24 years?
He should be answering that question before a judge!
Wow - amazing how quickly and deeply social engineering can work
Was this guy high? How were the police gonna reason with some idiot like this who is clearly out of control resisting arrest.
Clearly, but shhhh they are gonna ignore that.
@@JT-kv8pr no doubt... so far this is the ONLY story i have seen today that ACTUALLY mentions the MAJOR crash into a telephone pole prior.... totally possibly high and suffering a concussion.
you can be sure BLM Terrorists will use this.... DESPITE an autopsy report that shows otherwise.... dude just took out a telephone pole prior.... damage of some sort is almost a guarantee.
Definitely. He was a bad man. 24 years for kidnapping. Poss car jack too
@@eviscero nobody EVER mentions his Reddit Account... dont you find that odd? ... its LITERALLY LOADED with his ABSOLUTE infatuation with Madeline.. yet not ONE... NOT ONE of these clowns even make mention of it... hmmmm.. that in itself is suspect.
So easy to comply
Si easy to b a racist bigot who ain’t shit with a flaky skin
I think the cause of death is pretty obvious, as well as the manner of death. Those cops should be on leave, but they should not be getting paid.😡😡
Dont be sheeple
He had turned his life around and was studying to be an astronaut before this tragedy at the hands of racist white police occurred. He was also on the cusp of discovering the cure for cancer according to family members
😂
Bro stop fucking around look at your profile pick show your face
Maybe comply js
Bro it's the poilce fault stop saying that stupid ish it don't matter
@@Clip5299 Bro stop being a triggered emotional simp bro!
Thanks for removing my comment
🤣 best comment ever!
Upstanding citizen jesus.
What does his criminal history have to do with what happened?
Everything!
Everything
a Fully Armed Police afraid to a 60 year old man violation? "self car crash". how disgusting...
you have to see the whole video, it gets interesting when cops are walking up to bar and waitress runs out exclaiming "please get him out of here".
@@afterthought3341 why i should watch the whole video? still they killed the man during custody.. nothing change
Why didn’t the coward surrender to the cops? No, he decided to resist.
@@belaswhicker2033 surrender or not. he`s already on the ground, the fact is they killed the guy.
Smh😢
The cause of death was reckless stupidity.(on the perpetrator) can't touch the cops on this one. Lol
Frank Tyson was murdered.
He died because of the lack of air going to his lungs by placing a leg on the chest. It was proven in court in another case.
The Police murdered him 💔
And wonder why cops are being taken out an alarming rate. I feel bad for the good cops.
There ARE no good cops.....
Are they in prision yet?
America is finished 😂
You ain’t lying ahch
This is ridiculous...this criminal broke the law (again) was obviously on some drug and resisted arrest. Stop all the nonsense
dang thats messed up thwre alk laughing while he laya there motion less....
He finally shut up and they were enjoying the peace and quiet…
Again the American Police did it. They didn't learn from Floyed's death by 3 police men in 2020! What a big shame!!!!😢
Bull. This man clearly overdosed or had an M.I. due to E.D. The cops barely touched him.
*** 4 police men
That's where the arrest went down 🤔🤔 you mean that's where the killing went down that's where the murder went down.
Hush. Just stop with the Gaslighting and accept reality.
Maybe don't commit crimes, and you won't have to deal with getting arrested?
When will you Democrats learn?
Looked like a self-induced drug related death to me bro. Dude fought the cops and his heart exploded.
@@BenChod3 I think there might have been a concussion involved, maybe some sort of broken neck. He had just been in a pretty nasty looking crash a few minutes prior.
@@jogiff Looked pretty spicy after that crash he was upright and fighting pretty well for a concussion. Didn’t seem to me he had a broken neck when he was standing at the bar.
Bravo officers!
Thank you for helping the town out, and dealing with these violent, criminal Democrats. 👏
What
