Officers told Tyson to calm down and to stop fighting as he was facedown with his legs crossed on the floor.

'I can't breathe': just like George Floyd, Black man dies as US cop kneel on his neck

Officers told Tyson to calm down and to stop fighting as he was facedown with his legs crossed on the floor.

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&rsquo;s body-camera footage shows that after a passing motorist directed police to the bar, a woman opened the door and said: &ldquo;Please get him out of here, now.&rdquo;
Police grabbed Tyson, and he resisted being handcuffed and said repeatedly, &ldquo;They&rsquo;re trying to kill me&rdquo; and &ldquo;Call the sheriff,&rdquo; as he was taken to the floor.
They restrained him &mdash; including with a knee on his back &mdash; and he immediately told officers he could not breathe. A recent Associated Press investigation found those words &mdash; &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t breathe&rdquo; &mdash; 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&rsquo;s wallet before realizing he was in a medical crisis.
Five minutes after the body-camera footage recorded Tyson saying &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t breathe,&rdquo; one officer asked another if Tyson had calmed down. The other replied, &ldquo;He might be out.&rdquo;&nbsp; &nbsp; 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&rsquo;s office. Both Canton Police Department traffic bureau officers who were placed on leave, Schoenegge and Camden Burch, are white, according to the police department.
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 &ldquo;step it up&rdquo; 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&rsquo;s death that was issued Friday said that &ldquo;shortly after securing him,&rdquo; officers &ldquo;recognized that Tyson had become unresponsive&rdquo; 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&rsquo;s Office said Thursday an autopsy was conducted earlier in the week and Tyson&rsquo;s remains were released to a funeral home.
His niece, Jasmine Tyson, called the video &ldquo;nonsense&rdquo; in an interview with WEWS-TV in Cleveland. &ldquo;It just seemed like forever that they finally checked him,&rdquo; Jasmine Tyson said.
Frank 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s family in person.
&ldquo;As we make it through this challenging time, my goal is to be as transparent with the community as possible,&rdquo; 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.

Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after former Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes

Ex-cop who kneeled on George Floyd's back gets 3.5-year jail term

The former Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's back while another officer kneeled on the Black man's neck was sentenced Friday to 3 1/2 years in prison.

Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after former Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes

The former Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's back while another officer kneeled on the Black man's neck was sentenced Friday to 3 1/2 years in prison.
J. Alexander Kueng pleaded guilty in October to a state count of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. In exchange, a charge of aiding and abetting murder was dropped. Kueng is already serving a federal sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights, and the state and federal sentence will be served at the same time.
Kueng, who is already serving a federal sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights, appeared at his sentencing hearing via video from a federal prison in Ohio. When given the chance to address the court, he declined.

Floyd's family members had the right to make victim impact statements, but none did.
Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after former Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes as Floyd repeatedly said he couldn't breathe and eventually went limp.
The killing, which was recorded on video by a bystander, sparked worldwide protests as part of a broader reckoning over racial injustice.
Kueng kneeled on Floyd's back during the restraint. Then-Officer Thomas Lane held Floyd's legs and Tou Thao, also an officer at the time, kept bystanders from intervening. All of the officers were fired and faced state and federal charges.
As part of his plea agreement, Kueng admitted that he held Floyd's torso, that he knew from his experience and training that restraining a handcuffed person in a prone position created a substantial risk, and that the restraint of Floyd was unreasonable under the circumstances.

Kanye West apologises over George Floyd remark, says 'I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck now'

Kanye had falsely claimed that George Floyd had died due to a drug overdose rather than the reality which saw a Minneapolis police officer suffocating him by placing a knee on his neck.

Kanye had falsely claimed that George Floyd had died due to a drug overdose rather than the reality which saw a Minneapolis police officer suffocating him by placing a knee on his neck.

Rapper Kanye West apologised for his insensitive remarks on George Floyd after losing a billion-dollar deal with Adidas over anti-Semitic comments. He had falsely claimed that George Floyd had died due to a drug overdose rather than the reality which saw a Minneapolis police officer suffocating him by placing a knee on his neck.
Kanye had faced severe backlash for his comments and Floyd's daughter sued the rapper for $250 million for the defamatory remark.
Now, companies like Adidas, Balenciaga, and Vogue have cut ties with the rapper following his anti-semitic comments. Kanye West has equated this experience with Floyd's 2020 death under the hands of Officer Derek Chauvin.
Speaking with the paparazzi, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/entertainment-news/hollywood/kanye-west-a-look-at-the-most-bizarre-things-he-has-done-1667104723935">Kanye </a>said that when he sees that video as a black person, it hurts his feelings, and he knows that police does attack and America is generally racist.
'And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, that the idea of it made us feel good together as a people, right?,&rsquo; he said.
He added that when he questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt his people and he wants to apologize. He said God has shown him what Adidas and media is doing and he knows how it feels to have a knee on his neck now.
&lsquo;Thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt. Because how could the richest black men ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off of one comment,' Kanye said.
This video of Kanye West speaking to the paparazzi has gone viral on Twitter.

The last two former Minneapolis police officers who were convicted of violating George Floyd's civil rights during his May 2020 killing were sentenced Wednesday in federal court.
A judge said the sentences reflected their level of culpability in the case that sparked worldwide protests as part of a reckoning over racial injustice.
J. Alexander Kueng was sentenced to three years and Tou Thao got a 3 1/2-year sentence. They were convicted in February of two counts of violating Floyd's civil rights. The jury found they deprived the 46-year-old Black man of medical care and failed to stop Derek Chauvin as he knelt on Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes.
As Chauvin pinned Floyd's neck, Kueng held Floyd's back, former Officer Thomas Lane held his feet and Thao kept bystanders back during the killing, which was recorded by a bystander.
The federal government brought the civil rights charges against all four officers in May 2021, a month after Chauvin was convicted of murder in state court.
Chauvin and Lane have already been sentenced on civil rights violations. Chauvin, who pleaded guilty last year to violating Floyd's civil rights and the civil rights of a teenager in an unrelated case, was sentenced to 21 years in federal prison. Lane, who twice asked if Floyd should be rolled onto his side so he could breathe, was convicted of one count and was sentenced to 2 1/2.
Federal prosecutors had requested that U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson sentence Kueng and Thao to less time than Chauvin, but "substantially" more than Lane.

A fresh conviction was handed out in the George Floyd murder case which sparked widespread Black Lives Matter protests in USA.
On 7 July, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 21 years in prison for violating Floyd's civil rights. Chauvin had earlier been sentenced to 22 and a half years in jail for murder and manslaughter.
On May 25, 2020, Chauvin had killed African-American Floyd by pinning him to the ground for over 9 minutes even as the latter said that he was unable to breathe. During the July 7 hearing, Chauvin said that he wishes the best for George Floyd's children but did not issue a direct apology.
Chauvin had earlier signed a plea deal which allows the two jail sentences to run concurrently. He will also be transferred from a Minnesota state prison to a federal incarceration facility where he would be safer and under less-restrictive conditions, as per experts.

The intersection where George Floyd died at the hands of Minneapolis police officers was renamed in his honour on Wednesday, among a series of events to remember a man whose killing forced America to confront racial injustice.
With Congress deadlocked over how to address racism and excessive use of force, President Joe Biden signed an executive order on policing Wednesday, the second anniversary of George Floyd's death.
The decision reflects Biden's struggle to use the limited powers of his office to advance his campaign promises, as well as his attempt to strike a balance between police and civil rights groups at a time when rising concerns about crime are eclipsing calls for reform.
Most of the order is focused on federal law enforcement agencies — for example, requiring them to review and revise policies on use of force. It would also create a database to help track officer misconduct, according to the White House.
Although the administration cannot require local police departments to participate in the database, which is intended to prevent problem officers from hopping from job to job, officials are looking for ways to use federal funding to encourage their cooperation.
In addition, the order would restrict the flow of surplus military equipment to local police.
In September, the Justice Department curtailed federal agents' use of no-knock warrants — which allow law enforcement agents to enter a home without announcing their presence — and updated its policy to prohibit agents from using chokeholds in most circumstances.
But extending such rules to local police is more challenging, and White House officials have spent months in negotiations with civil rights groups and police organizations.
The resulting set of policies is less extensive than originally sought, not to mention delayed by a year.

Nearly two years after George Floyd died after a police officer kneeled on his neck in America's Minnesota, a similar case has emerged from neighbouring Wisconsin. Shockingly, this time the victim was a 12-year-old girl, as per reports.
CCTV footage has emerged of the March 4 incident in which an off-duty police officer placed his knee on the neck of the young girl. The incident began with a fight breaking out in a school cafeteria in Kenosha city. Off-duty cop Shawn Guetschow was working as a security guard at the school at the time. He rushed to break the fight up.
In the surveillance footage, Guetschow is seen restraining one of the girls before pinning her down on the ground, and placing his knee on her neck for about half a minute, as per reports. Subsequently, he leads the girl out of the canteen.
The girl's father Jerrel Perez has reportedly sought criminal charges against the off-duty cop for using a banned type of restraint technique. The girl is reportedly being treated by a neurologist.
Guetschow was initially placed on paid leave, before resigning due to lack of support from school authorities, as per reports.
In May 2020, George Floyd's death in Minneapolis had sparked 'Black Lives Matter', or BLM protests across America. Floyd had died after police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for around 10 minutes even as Floyd complained that he couldn't breathe. Chauvin was reportedly sentenced to over 20 years in prison for committing murder.

Former police officer from Minneapolis in the United States, Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 22 and half years in prison for the murder of George Floyd, a 48-year-old African-American man died after Chauvin knelt on his neck for nine minutes.
Floyd's murder led to the biggest outcry against racial injustice in the U.S. in generations, along with global protests against police brutality. Reading out Chavin's sentence, the judge said the sentence was based "on Chavin's abuse of a position of trust and authority, and also for the particular cruelty shown" to Floyd.
Ahead of his sentencing, Chauvin was allowed to address the court, where he apologised to George Floyd's family. Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges last month. The punishment handed out fell short of the 30 years that prosecutors had requested. During his trial, his lawyer described the killing as "an error made in good faith". 
With good behavior, Chauvin, 45, could be paroled after serving two-thirds of his sentence, or about 15 years.
