Video Shows Police Kneeled On Mario Gonzalez’s Back For 5 Minutes Before He Died

my boy just sent me a link to an article with the recording of the 911 emergency call. imma say this: **** WHITE FRAGILITY. The caller told the dispatcher, "there's a man outside of my house talking to himself." The dispatcher asked what Mario Gonzalez was doing and the caller said, "he's scaring my wife." are you kidding me? STAY IN YOU'RE ******* HOUSE THEN.

My patna lives in Alameda. We've walked through that very pathway where the police accosted and murdered Mario Gonzalez hundreds of times. THAT AIN'T PRIVATE PROPERTY. Mario Gonzalez was not trespassing on anyone's lawn; he was only guilty of being a person of color who was having a mental health crisis. so much for that ******* CAREN act materializing to anything.

convict the cops and the stupid *** caller.

After seeing the statement they put out about Mr. Floyd’s murder prior to footage coming out, I don’t believe any of that except for the parts that they killed a man and his kid.
