The Rev. Al Sharpton and family members of an Ohio man who died in police custody last month told mourners at his funeral that they and the community must fight to see that he gets justice. Sharpton gave the eulogy for Frank Tyson during the funeral Wednesday in Canton. The 53-year-old East Canton resident died April 18 after he resisted while being handcuffed and was left facedown on the floor of a social club. Police restrained Tyson — including with a knee on his back — and he immediately told officers he could not breathe.
