    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Canton Police Department in Ohio has released body camera video from the night a 53-year-old man died after he repeatedly told officers “I can’t breathe” as he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back and he was pinned to the ground.

    In the nearly 36-minute video, police respond to the scene of a single-car crash to find a downed power pole and an unoccupied vehicle with the driver’s side door open and an airbag deployed.

    Canton police said in a news release Friday that officers had responded to a report of a one-vehicle crash just after 8:15 p.m. Thursday.

    The news release said that CPR and several doses of Narcan were administered before Canton Fire Department medics arrived and that Tyson was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:18 p.m.

    Without naming Tyson, the bureau confirmed that its investigation of a “fatal officer-involved critical incident” is active and ongoing.

    Canton Mayor William Sherer II said he had sat down with members of Tyson’s family “to not only allow them to see what is now being released to the public, but to give them my condolences in person.”

    Full disclosure, I have not watched the video. It says they administered multiple doses of narcan. Which I’m not sure how that’s relevant. I wonder if this is too make it appear like he was intoxicated or if they legitimately thought he ODed. Like, say you gave him narcan to make him sound druggy and attack his character VS actually trying to help. The cynic in me is suspicious.
