Cops still can't keep from killing people who are doing nobody any harm



if you kill them; you’re not doing it right.



SAN FRANCISCO — Police in the Northern California city of Alameda released body camera video late Tuesday that shows officers pinning a man facedown to the ground for more than five minutes during an arrest last week that ended in his death.

Mario Gonzalez, 26, died April 19, one day before Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was convicted of murdering George Floyd by holding him to the pavement with his knee for 9 minutes, 29 seconds as Floyd said repeatedly that he couldn't breathe.

A police report said "a physical altercation ensued" when officers tried to detain Gonzalez at a park in Alameda and that at that time, "the man had a medical emergency." The report said Gonzalez later died at a hospital.

His family contends he was killed by police who used excessive force.

"The police killed my brother in the same manner that they killed George Floyd," Gerardo Gonzalez said at a news conference Tuesday outside the Alameda Police Department.

He said his brother was not posing a threat when he died.

"Alameda police officers murdered my brother Mario," he said
