"Alameda County DA Charges 3 Officers with Involuntary Manslaughter in Mario Gonzalez Case"
Alameda County DA Pamela Price filed involuntary manslaughter charges against three Alameda police officers involved in the death of Mario Gonzalez, who stopped breathing while being pinned to the ground. This marks a reversal from the previous finding that cleared the officers of any criminal wrongdoing. The officers were charged almost three years after Gonzalez's death, with their attorneys criticizing the timing and framing the charges as politically motivated. The decision to file criminal charges was praised by Gonzalez's family attorneys, who emphasized the importance of holding officers to the same standards as the people they police.
