Two days after Frank Tyson was laid to rest, protesters are expected to gather in Canton to ask for police accountability in regard to his death.According to Canton Police, officers responded to a one-vehicle crash in the 1700 block of Sherrick Road Southeast around 8:15 p.m. on April 18.

Canton Police said that Tyson struggled with officers during his arrest and, after he was placed in handcuffs, became unresponsive. CPR and several doses of Narcan were administered before paramedics arrived.'I can't breathe'Two Canton police officers, identified by the department as Beau Schoenegge and Camden Burch, attempt to handcuff the 53-year-old Tyson at 8:27 p.m.The struggle continues as officers get Tyson fully on the ground, one officer with his knee pressed on his back.

According to the video, officers started CPR eight minutes after Tyson was last responsive on video. CPR continues for over 10 minutes as medics arrive on the scene until eventually stopping at 8:51 p.m. when Tyson is rolled out on a stretcher.Tyson’s niece, Jasmine, said she watched the video with police when it was released.

Jasmine said her uncle was released just weeks ago from a 24-year prison sentence. They didn’t get a chance to visit.“I just hope BCI takes their time watching this because every inch and every time of that video needs to be played at the bar; that’s what they need to see,” Jasmine said."It’s crazy, it’s nonsense.”The Celebration of Life service for Frank E. Tyson, the Canton man who died in police custody last month, was held Wednesday at Hear the Word Ministries Church.
