Bodycam video shows California man who died after officers pinned him to ground for 5 minutes
CBSN
Police in Northern California released bodycam video that shows officers pinning a man to the ground for more than five minutes during an arrest that ended in his death. The footage of the incident shows officers putting their weight onto Mario Arenales Gonzalez, then doing chest compressions after he became unresponsive.
The bodycam video, released late Tuesday, shows the struggle between Gonzalez, 26, and police in Alameda County last week. Gonzalez died on April 19, the day before former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd by pinning him to the ground for over nine minutes. The initial press release from the Alameda Police said that officers attempted to detain Gonzalez, and a "physical altercation ensued." Police said that Gonzalez then had a "medical emergency."![](/newspic/picid-6252001-20250216030556.jpg)
