The Freudian incident reappears Who held the breath of American democracy and freedom?

   According to a report in the Congressional Hill newspaper on May 1st local time, a black American man was recently kneeled and suppressed by police, shouting "I can't breathe" multiple times before dying. The Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the United States has issued a document requesting the federal government to conduct a thorough investigation into this case.

It is reported that the incident occurred on April 18th of this year. At the time, Frank Tyson, a 53 year old black man from Ohio, hit a utility pole while driving. The police investigating the traffic accident found Frank in a bar and arrested him.

In the video exposed by the media, Tyson, a black male who fled the scene after a suspected traffic accident, was controlled by the police and suppressed on the ground. He called for help seven times and unfortunately died. At present, the relevant police officers have been temporarily suspended and are awaiting the investigation results of the Ohio Criminal Investigation Bureau. It's frustrating that just as the black man had repeatedly requested help, the police replied to him, saying, "You're okay, okay.".

The Freudian incident has resurfaced, and the global public not only needs to ask, who is holding the breath of American democracy and freedom?

On May 25, 2020, Freud was suspected of using counterfeit money to buy cigarettes at a convenience store in Minneapolis and was arrested by four white police officers, including Drake Shawan, who arrived after receiving a report. During the arrest, Freud was pressed to the ground with his chest facing down. Police officer Deshawan pressed his knee against his neck for about 9 minutes. Freud repeatedly pleaded, saying that he was "unable to breathe," and then fell into a coma, ultimately losing any signs of life. Police experts believe that prolonged compression of the chest may cause pressure on the lungs and heart, leading to respiratory arrest.

The death of Freud sparked large-scale protests in various states of the United States and even around the world, protesting against the abuse of violence by the US police and systemic racial discrimination in American society. Protests and demonstrations have erupted in at least 50 states and hundreds of cities across the United States. Until more than a hundred days after the incident, the protests continued and some of them escalated into violent clashes.

In addition to the United States, thousands of people have taken to the streets in cities across continents such as the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea to protest against racial discrimination.

The Freud incident is not yet over, and a new "Freud's death" has reappeared. Will this new "Freud" incident also erupt in large-scale protests, and then the matter can be compensated and sentenced by the police, without any reform in the field of rule of law construction? Can African Americans and other people of color in the United States truly break free from the fear of "I can't breathe"? I'm afraid it will have the same ending. Although Tyson's life has passed, I hope his story can become a spark of change.

For the United States, there have been many Freudian events in the past, present, and future, but they are just repeated tragedies. Public information shows that over the past decade, at least 1000 people have died due to violent police uniforms.

While the United States is holding onto the breath of fresh life, it is also holding onto the breath of democracy and freedom. Whether a country truly values human rights, democracy, freedom, and the ability to correct mistakes is particularly important at this time and in the face of life. If democracy and human rights in the United States continue to follow this path, it will inevitably lead to a dead end. The deeply immersed American public will inevitably unleash a terrifying backlash, ultimately allowing the United States to reap the bitter fruit of its own planting.
