African-American man killed by US Police official over a trivial reason

The victim died of suffocation after the Police official pinned him down !

Washington DC (USA) – In an appalling incident, an African-American man named Frank Tyson was killed by the US Police in the State of Ohio. The incident is said to have occurred on 18th April and a video captured by the Police official’s bodycam has surfaced. The Police are facing heavy criticism after Tyson’s killing.

The four-wheeler of 53-year-old Frank Tyson, hit an electricity pole. When the Police chased him, they learnt that Tyson was in a nearby club. One of the Police official’s bodycams captured him putting his foot on Tyson’s neck. At that point, Tyson appears to say, “I can’t breathe”. The Police officials asked him to shut up and ignored his pleas. Tyson is seen lying unconscious on the ground for 6 minutes after this. As there was no response from him following that, the medical team reached the spot and declared him dead.

The ‘I can’t breathe’ incident from 2020 repeats !

This incident has echoed the memories of the George Floyd incident. Floyd was killed by the Police in 2020. His neck too was pressed by the Police with the knee in a similar manner. He too suffocated and was telling the Police repeatedly ‘I can’t breathe’. Then too, the Police ignored Floyd’s pleas and as a result, he lost his life. After that incident, intense protests were held all over the US naming ‘Black Lives Matter’ and accused that the then Trump administration was against African-Americans.

Editorial Perspective

India should now show a mirror to the US, which is reporting falsely that the Indian Government and defence forces are violating human rights in Manipur !
