SAN FRANCISCO — Police in the Northern California city of Alameda released body cam 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. from two officers' body cameras shows police talking to Gonzalez in a park after receiving 911 calls that he appeared to be disoriented or drunk.
“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.
