The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has launched a probe into the recent death of Frank Tyson, a 53-year-old Black man who died after police pinned him to the ground inside a bar. Bodycam video shows Tyson repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe,” but officers ignored his pleas as he lost consciousness. The bodycam video shows police waited five minutes to check for his pulse and then another three minutes before CPR was started. One officer is heard joking, “I’ve always wanted to be in a bar fight. I don’t know if this counts.” Frank Tyson died just 12 days after being released from 24 years in prison.
