For nine minutes, an Alameda police officer tried to engage a man in a park who didn’t appear to be harming anyone.
Six minutes later, 26-year-old Mario Gonzalez was unresponsive with three officers and a civilian parking employee on top of him. Family members were outraged and drew comparisons to George Floyd. Police characterized Gonzalez’s death as a “medical emergency” and said they sought to defuse the situation.
A Hispanic man died after police pinned him down on the ground for five minutes, echoing the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin. Alameda Police Department released an hour-long video of the tragic death of the Hispanic man, Law & Crime reported.
The said incident happened the same day a jury in Minneapolis began the deliberation of the George Floyd case, Associated Press reported. Because of this, the Alameda Police were under fire as the family of the Hispanic man, Mario Gonzales, 26, accused the law enforcement officers on Wednesday of using excessive force on the Hispanic man.

Death occurs 22 minutes into the video, which includes a lame 9/11 call from someone who claims his wife is frightened from seeing a Hispanic person out her window, on what appears to be public property.
