"3 Alameda Officers Charged in Death of Mario Gonzalez After Holding Him Face-Down for 5 Minutes"

Three police officers in Alameda County, California, have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Mario Gonzalez, who was pinned facedown on the ground for over five minutes. The charges come after a second autopsy concluded that Gonzalez's death was a result of restraint asphyxiation, contrary to the initial autopsy's findings. The officers' use of force was previously deemed reasonable, but a new public accountability unit reopened the case, leading to the charges. The incident drew comparisons to George Floyd's death, and the officers could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
