Police in the Northern California city of Alameda have released body camera footage that shows officers pinning a man to the ground for more than 5 minutes during an arrest last week that ended in his death.

SAN FRANCISCO — Police in the Northern California city of Alameda released body camera footage late Tuesday that shows officers pinning a man to the ground for more than five minutes during an arrest last week that ended in his death.A police statement said Gonzalez had a medical emergency after officers tried to handcuff him.

“I think you just had too much to drink today, OK? That’s all,” the same officer says. Later, he adds, “Mario, just please stop fighting us.” Apparently seeking reassurance, the first officer asks “we got no weight on his chest?” then repeats “No! No weight ... no weight."The officers roll Gonzalez over and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation but he was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of his death but at a news conference Tuesday, family members blamed the police, saying officers escalated what should have been a minor, peaceful encounter with the unarmed man.

My president, you have to retaining your police officers. Because Ex-president Trump didn't taining them well and there used to killed black people durning his presidency .

This is so sad. These police officers don’t deserve “leave with pay.” We need more social workers. They’re not lethal to society.

They didn't do anything wrong. Again he didn't comply, then they forced him down, no choking or neck pressure, and then he died.

Where is media gas lighting attention on black on black crime?

Placed on paid leave yet the taxpayers pay them for things to be figured out. We can't get that on our jobs no paid leave while we are under investigation. If things started hitting the police pockets instead of the taxpayer they would act different.

Murder

I thought Joe Biden was supposed to stop all of this I don’t want free community college, I should be able to go to Harvard for free! Where is my free healthcare? Why did I vote for this liar? Ugh!

We live in a police state.

I hope they go to prison
