A Black man who died in Ohio was pinned down by policemen as he told them 'I can't breathe', evoking memories of the killing of George Floyd in 2020.
The Ohio Police Department released body-camera footage, showing cops detaining a man, identified as Frank Tyson, 53, who was suspected of leaving the scene of a car accident on April 18.
The 36-minute video shows the patrol officer coming upon a car that had struck an electrical pole. A bystander says that the vehicle's driver had fled into a nearby tavern.
