After the killing of George Floyd by US police officers, when during the arrest of the 46-year-old African-American, a police officer who persistently pressed his knee on his neck led to his death by suffocation, a new racist murder is added to the long black list weighing on the history of USA.
An inquest has been launched into the death of Frank Tyson, a 53-year-old man who was arrested by police on April 18 and died of suffocation while repeatedly saying the phrase “I can’t breathe”. At the same time, a video showing the last minutes of the 53-year-old was released.
The man was arrested by Officers Beau Sonnege and Camden Birch in Canton, Ohio, in the early evening of April 18th at approximately 8:25 PM local time. The local police department has released footage captured by the officers’ uniform cameras, when the two officers arrest and handcuff Tyson as he says he can’t breathe. In fact, one of them appears to be kneeling on his back.
In the video he is seen resisting arrest shouting that they are “trying to kill him”. “Call the sheriff,” he yells over and over as officers tell him to calm down as they handcuff him.
He is then seen repeatedly saying that he can’t breathe after the officers restrained him. He ended up five minutes later, handcuffed. When the ambulance called by the police finally arrives, the man is already dead.

The timeline of the murder
It all started when officers responded to a report of a car accident and followed Tyson to a bar where he allegedly went right after the incident. The 53-year-old was arrested after a traffic accident in which he was involved.
The officers tackle Tyson to the ground, with one officer putting his knee on his back as they tell him to “stop resisting.”
The officer had his knee on Tyson’s back for at least 30 seconds. He tells him one more time that he can’t breathe before finally taking his last breath.
