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.

    Would you like me to make a three page proposal of police reforms in a lemmy comment? There have been a number of reforms proposed. I’m a fan personally of abolishing the dipshit union that protects all police officers. But that’s probably only part what needs to be done.

      I’d like you and everyone else to stop name calling and start voting. That’s what I’d like.

      Here’s the problem, I agree with you on the actual policy you just said you’d like change and I’m pissed off by the name calling. How do you think someone that disagrees with you is going to feel?

      Ya’ll aren’t winning anyone over running around generalizing a population of nearly a million police officers as “bastards.” (EDIT: in this case “cowards and bullies”). It’s detrimental to the cause and serious discussions and it’s childish.

        When did I call you any names? Also really presumptuous of you to assume I don’t vote on these issues. I take this stuff very seriously, and vote in every election in my town that I’m aware of. Buy, I don’t think voting alone is going to solve this issue. If it did, we’d have already solved the problem. We have to demand change.

        The government wants this bcz the police don’t work for the people, they enforce the laws that keep people rich, and make them richer. (Whether those officers realize it or not)

          I don’t have time for this nonsense.

          I responded to a guy that said police are cowards and bullies because I don’t like generalizations and lynch mobs. Your response was “I agree with the other guy, police are cowards and bullies in my experience.” That’s not constructive, it’s more of your own bias and it’s contributing to the name calling. If you’ve got something constructive to say, go for it. If you don’t, don’t.

          Clearly you don’t get that or you don’t actually care.
