The double standards of policing in america. These cops smother and torture this guy to death and they're not charged. Guy in St Johns County Florida is charged with murder because a cop died from a heart attack about a minute after the cop unlawfully arrested the guy
How can you lay on someone cuffed they can’t breathe and your not charged. If a cop got killed after an unlawful arrest would that person be unpublished? Hell no. We’re all created equal. Stop this!
An officer stopped and detained an 18 year old immigrant committing no crime. The kid struggled with the officer attempting to handcuff him for no legal reason. After the kid was subdued, the officer died from a heart attack minutes later. Now they're charging the kid with manslaughter for the officer's death.
there's a video out there of a cop making an unlawful arrest , with force suffering a heart attack and dying. their charging the man that was unlawfully arrested with manslaughter. I don't know the outcome but it's disgusting.
Listening to that cop calmly tell him its going to be alright and they would take care of him while he was being asphyxiated by their body weight is one of the most chilling things I've ever heard
Who is the DA? We need to start having names and pictures of these DA’s that fail to prosecute. Put them in the spot, ask hardline questions. This will sadly continue to happen because no one is asking the hard questions and only reporting what they see.
They pin him to the ground because he's fighting. He's fighting because he can't breathe. The PD says it wasn't the cop's fault but they paid out over 11 million dollars.
And most importantly, They pin him to the ground because they were there to help him. This was a welfare check. The call was that he was acting suspicious and scaring people. Protect and serve - serve you to death. The demeanor of the cop asking questions was chilling. I can imagine him saying the same thing to someone he was torturing - "It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again.
But when a tyrant cop dies while arresting an innocent person the full weight of the law is thrown at the innocent person even though the tyrant had heart problems
He asked questions to get the air out of his lungs. If you can talk you can breathe is a lie. Talking is air out, not in. They said they were going to take care of him and they did. Every problem is a nail when you have a hammer.
Did i miss something? I mean did they just walk up to this man and literally put their hands on him without any reason, i mean what an injustice. This is not right and these officers, like many need to be held accountable, what is wrong with this country where we allow this to keep happening. It cannot go on.
No, you didn't miss anything. The cops literally showed up, talked to the guy, started escorting him to another spot, then assaulted him, ultimately killing him. At no time during this was he told he was under arrest.
Okay, so cops pile on top of this guy, and he dies, but they are not charged. Then you look at another case. Cop arrest a man for no reason, and then shortly later, the cop dies of heart attack, and then they blame the suspect, of God knows what, for the officers death.
Always. It's just being filmed now. Give humans power and authority with little to no consequences for abusing their authority, of course they will abuse their power.
American policing evolved from slave catchers. The origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to the "Slave Patrol." The earliest formal slave patrol was created in the Carolinas in the early 1700s with one mission: to establish a system of terror and squash slave uprisings with the capacity to pursue, apprehend, and return runaway slaves to their owners. So, to answer your question over 300 years ago. The only difference is today we DON'T just have to take them at their word, we have audio and video now.
I'm in California. Apparently, it is legal to use reasonable force to resist an unlawful arrest. This raises an interesting issue. If an unlawful arrest involves the use of excessive force that can result in serious bodily injury or death, then it would be reasonable to use deadly force to protect yourself from being killed or badly injured.
LOL. What aholes.. "It's ok Mario.. we're going to take care of you". omg that's what most of us fear the most. Your care is cruel, disgusting, unwanted, and unwarranted.
Virgilio Aguilar Mendez, the 18-year-old charged in the death of a St. Johns County TEEN CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER AFTER HIS ARRESTING OFFICER HAD A HEART ATTACK ON THE JOB
Officers should not be allowed to handcuff citizens unless they’re actually arresting you and have articulated the crime they are arresting you for. This guy may have been on drugs and “acting strangely”, but did he commit any crimes endangering either myself or others? I can’t believe the officer had the audacity to say “It’s okay, we’ll take care of you” while they smothered him to death. This also shows that the district attorneys are just as much part of the problem as the police won’t discipline themselves and the DAs won’t prosecute them.
They were getting off on torturing him. They knew exactly what they were doing to him. They had him face down in cuffs, they were sitting on his back. That wrist lock they were cranking, which was done off camera. They spoke in a calm voice while torturing him on purpose. Those guys are scary and should never be allowed to hold positions of authority over people.
They kill this guy while attacking him for zero reason and walk. Meanwhile in Florida there’s a 5’4”, 115lb 19 year old that is getting manslaughter charges cuz a pig had a heart attack and died during his arrest. The system is a joke.
May I call to your attention how the "officers" are talking ever so sweetly to the victim, how they are telling him not to resist - - - even though he is not. Both are a ploy to make others, including the courts, believe that they are just trying to help him and make others think that the victim is truly resisting. It is like walking into a bank, sticking a gun in the tellers face, demanding all the money, then telling everyone that "we weren't really robbing the bank. Not just these three criminals but all "officers" who use these tactics. Has law enforcement come up with an academy award for badge toting criminals like this? Oh wait a minute; its called a promotion.
He was NOT BREAKING THE LAW, Why was he even detained? The MURDERED HIM BECAUSE "They got a call" That's ALL IT TAKES AMERICA!!! WAKE UP!! THIS MAN WAS STANDING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, ACTING "STRANGE" That's NOT A CRIME...
Where is the experts in psychological behavior? These guy can calmly talk to the victim while slowly killing him!! Benchmark behavior of a psychopath!!!
Yes because a world where the police have to debate whether or not to do their jobs because of fear of bullshit frivolous lawsuits is a much better world. Is there a police brutality problem? Absolutely. But your solution leads to straight anarchy.
02:35 "it's ok Mario... we're gonna *take care of you* ok. ..what's your name?" this was murder and another instance of systematic euthanasia by the government!
What did he do in the first place? Acting strange is not a crime, maybe he has problems and needs help, not torture and death. THEY KILLED HIM!!! THEY MURDERED HIM!!!
This is blowing me away since I read it. The United States military rules of engagement: Do not fire unless fired upon. Police in America policy for American citizens: Fire at anytime for officer safety. I'm just blown away by that
All the cops need to hear is someone else complaining about another literally doing nothing! The incompetence of the US police force is unconscionable!
Acting strange is illegal? What actual law did he break? How could any reasonable person or persons not realize that what they were doing was going to kill this man. Police training in this country is absolutely insane.
You could see the one officer shifting his weight, purposefully driving his knee into Gonzales's back. This shows that the officers had the intention to inflict harm. Yet they escape justice, showing the depth of corruption in Alameda
“It’s okay, we’re going to take care of you” as he’s pressed face down into the dirt, struggling to breath. Also love how there is a man being put on trial for manslaughter on an officer who died from natural causes, a heart attack, while unlawfully arresting the man, yet police rarely are held accountable for directly causing the deaths of so many people, innocent or not.
You can hear their weight asphyxiating him. He is clearly struggling to breath as they tell him "It's okay. We're gonna take care of you" crushing him with their weight. They basically killed him as they smiled and reassured him they were there to help him. These are some sick phucks!
So cops think "acting strangely in public" is a crime? Let alone a capital offense. That'll really clog the courts in California. Glad his family is gonna be cared for.
Yep, The excuses such as resisting and don't fight us is not a license to kill. The deception of officers being calm while asphyxiating sickens me. Not everybody is a murderer and should not be treated as such.
They’re only asking questions and talking to him, to show that he’s responding. While applying their full body weight on a cuffed citizen. This is to cover their wrongdoing. These corrupt cowards know what they are doing. Qualified immunity needs to be abolished.
Welcome to Alameda County, CA law enforcement. I live an hour from where this happened, and these cops should've lost their freedom after Mario lost his life.
A what point can we "stand our ground" against cops?
Asking for 350 million friends.
Very few situations cannot be made WORSE by the presence of police.
How to get away with murder? Wear a badge.
The double standards of policing in america. These cops smother and torture this guy to death and they're not charged. Guy in St Johns County Florida is charged with murder because a cop died from a heart attack about a minute after the cop unlawfully arrested the guy
Gee, if only there were someone in the judicial system with the job of prosecuting law enforcement when they break the law.
The worst thing that can happen to you is a police welfare check.
Their should be a citizen review board, not having any police on it.
We need to stop calling the police on people who are not breaking the law. It seldom turns out OK for the innocent citizen.
Sometimes, it can end up being deadly for the innocent citizen
How can you lay on someone cuffed they can’t breathe and your not charged. If a cop got killed after an unlawful arrest would that person be unpublished? Hell no. We’re all created equal. Stop this!
An officer stopped and detained an 18 year old immigrant committing no crime. The kid struggled with the officer attempting to handcuff him for no legal reason.

They’re willing to pay 11.3 Million but they say there is no crime here?! I guess they expect us to believe anything…
Listening to that cop calmly tell him its going to be alright and they would take care of him while he was being asphyxiated by their body weight is one of the most chilling things I've ever heard
The scary thing is that all of those pigs are still working like nothing happened, ridiculous!
Absolute cowardice. Their ancestors are ashamed.
Qualified immunity needs to be abolished!! So sad these so called cops get away with murder.
Who is the DA? We need to start having names and pictures of these DA’s that fail to prosecute. Put them in the spot, ask hardline questions. This will sadly continue to happen because no one is asking the hard questions and only reporting what they see.
I believe the cops purposely make it hard for the victim to “comply!” This is fun for them.
I hope the person who called the cops on this man was watching, and was PROUD of what they did.
They got away with cold-blooded murder. Shame on the decision makers who cleared these cops 😕
Acting strangely and talking to yourself is illegal??
They "helped" this man to death.
no siruation that cops can not make worse. People need to stop sic-ing cops on people.
"What are you arresting me for?" "Resisting arrest!"
I didn't know that "acting strangely in public" was a crime.
They pin him to the ground because he's fighting. He's fighting because he can't breathe. The PD says it wasn't the cop's fault but they paid out over 11 million dollars.
And most importantly, They pin him to the ground because they were there to help him. This was a welfare check. The call was that he was acting suspicious and scaring people.

But when a tyrant cop dies while arresting an innocent person the full weight of the law is thrown at the innocent person even though the tyrant had heart problems
Yet that 18 yr old is being charged for involuntary manslaughter for that cop having a heart attack.
😡 These guys should be in prison 100% they paid out 11 million to the family, that shows guilt! I really hope this man gets justice ⚖️
He asked questions to get the air out of his lungs. If you can talk you can breathe is a lie. Talking is air out, not in. They said they were going to take care of him and they did. Every problem is a nail when you have a hammer.
Never call the police.
Never call the police.
Never call the police.
Did i miss something? I mean did they just walk up to this man and literally put their hands on him without any reason, i mean what an injustice. This is not right and these officers, like many need to be held accountable, what is wrong with this country where we allow this to keep happening. It cannot go on.
No, you didn't miss anything. The cops literally showed up, talked to the guy, started escorting him to another spot, then assaulted him, ultimately killing him. At no time during this was he told he was under arrest.
Why do they always manhandle people not committing crimes
There is literally no situation that cops can't make ten times worse.
Police officers should not be responding to welfare checks or mental health situations.
Okay, so cops pile on top of this guy, and he dies, but they are not charged. Then you look at another case. Cop arrest a man for no reason, and then shortly later, the cop dies of heart attack, and then they blame the suspect, of God knows what, for the officers death.
At what point in history did the cop become just as bad as gangsters.
Always. It's just being filmed now. Give humans power and authority with little to no consequences for abusing their authority, of course they will abuse their power.

“We’re going to take care of you.” They sure DID, didn’t they! 😡
There is no situation that can't be made worse by calling the cops.
It's alright, Mario. We're coming to take care of you. I just threw up in my mouth. He's a freaking psychopath
It is impossible for "resisting arrest" to be a stand alone charge.
Have fun explaining why they were being arrested, yet didn't charge them with it.
And it is so easy to charge a person with murder/homicide if an arresting officer goes into cardiac arrest and passes?
So easy, Vergilio Mendez is still in jail awaiting trial despite the fact EVERYONE knows he's an innocent man.
ua-cam.com/video/fzojSMGR4OU/v-deo.html
The way he calmly said "we're going to take care of you"... psychopath.
Resisting unlawful arrest is not only legal in California but is your constitutionally protected right
I'm in California. Apparently, it is legal to use reasonable force to resist an unlawful arrest. This raises an interesting issue. If an unlawful arrest involves the use of excessive force that can result in serious bodily injury or death, then it would be reasonable to use deadly force to protect yourself from being killed or badly injured.
LOL. What aholes.. "It's ok Mario.. we're going to take care of you". omg that's what most of us fear the most. Your care is cruel, disgusting, unwanted, and unwarranted.
What drugs do these cops take to act so violent toward people
Presumed authority. its a hell of a drug...
They’re drunk on power
Virgilio Aguilar Mendez, the 18-year-old charged in the death of a St. Johns County
TEEN CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER AFTER HIS ARRESTING OFFICER HAD A HEART ATTACK ON THE JOB
Abolish qualified immunity
"Acting suspicious" so they are going hands on????
Maybe somebody should tell cops the average person's breathing isn't strong enough to support multiple adult men on their back...
That's mafia levels of murder and cover.
Officers should not be allowed to handcuff citizens unless they’re actually arresting you and have articulated the crime they are arresting you for. This guy may have been on drugs and “acting strangely”, but did he commit any crimes endangering either myself or others? I can’t believe the officer had the audacity to say “It’s okay, we’ll take care of you” while they smothered him to death. This also shows that the district attorneys are just as much part of the problem as the police won’t discipline themselves and the DAs won’t prosecute them.
Another victim Murdered by police
They were getting off on torturing him. They knew exactly what they were doing to him. They had him face down in cuffs, they were sitting on his back. That wrist lock they were cranking, which was done off camera. They spoke in a calm voice while torturing him on purpose. Those guys are scary and should never be allowed to hold positions of authority over people.
So he was going to die anyway in the next five minutes? His crime? Being in public. No probable cause, these men should have never been given a badge.
And the cops where called to Help! Charges? Helping? Where the Hell did these clowns get there training?
They were scared for their lives, as their guns were no match against Innocence.
I hope the locals never let those cops forget what they did.
They had no reason to arrest him
YOU ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT!!! IT ALWAYS GETS WORSE WHEN POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVE!!!
There’s no situation that a cop can’t make worse ! The badge makes them feel they can abuse the public with zero personal accountability!
Where do these idiot cops get their self entitled permission to rough people up????
To hear them repeatedly say "we're going to take care of you" during his murder is enough to make me sick.
They kill this guy while attacking him for zero reason and walk. Meanwhile in Florida there’s a 5’4”, 115lb 19 year old that is getting manslaughter charges cuz a pig had a heart attack and died during his arrest. The system is a joke.
They finally dropped all charges after the story was making international headlines. Then all the sudden it’s “nothing to see here”…
Those officers should be suspended immediately and charged
if you are laying on your hand and a cop says put your hands behind your back it is impossible to do when a cop has his weight on your back .
May I call to your attention how the "officers" are talking ever so sweetly to the victim, how they are telling him not to resist - - - even though he is not.

"We're gonna take care of you." "What's you birthday?" As his life leaves his body.
Him saying that was definitely him letting him know he was about to die. You can hear it in his voice that cop already made up his mind to end him
This was flatout murder during an aggravated kidnapping.....
They should already be in prison for life.....
No, it's not "okay," and no they aren't "going to take care of you." Sick how he keep saying it's okay while they kill him.
Where is the experts in psychological behavior? These guy can calmly talk to the victim while slowly killing him!! Benchmark behavior of a psychopath!!!
If this is what they call help, the public can do without it. Help your family like this
Qualified immunity allows this thuggish behavior to exist. The police would think differently if they were held accountable individually.
Yes because a world where the police have to debate whether or not to do their jobs because of fear of bullshit frivolous lawsuits is a much better world. Is there a police brutality problem? Absolutely. But your solution leads to straight anarchy.
@@BxIowaIrelandSwAg They don't care about lawsuits . IF U have a better idea , let's HEAR IT .
@BxIowaIrelandSwAg I guess if they are dead, less lawsuits? End qualified immunity
@@BxIowaIrelandSwAg Did I say lawsuits? How about an actual unbiased internal investigation.
Could you imagine what they would have done if he was actually breaking the law🤔
02:35 "it's ok Mario... we're gonna *take care of you* ok. ..what's your name?" this was murder and another instance of systematic euthanasia by the government!
They were saying that as they were cranking his wrists. They were playing for the bodycam.
I believe that the prefix “eu” means “good” in Greek. I wouldn’t use it here.
I can see why Derek Chauvin is trying so hard for an appeal. If these guys can get away with it, why can’t he?
What did he do in the first place? Acting strange is not a crime, maybe he has problems and needs help, not torture and death. THEY KILLED HIM!!! THEY MURDERED HIM!!!
You can hear while on the ground that he was having trouble breathing, it would have been obvious to these cops too, heartless murderers.
This pisses me off to no end
This is blowing me away since I read it.
The United States military rules of engagement: Do not fire unless fired upon.
Police in America policy for American citizens: Fire at anytime for officer safety.
I'm just blown away by that
Cops are trained by the Israeli defense forces makes sense now right?
All the cops need to hear is someone else complaining about another literally doing nothing! The incompetence of the US police force is unconscionable!
Those cops will be judged by a much higher court.
The DA who made that call not to charge these cops, hope he can live with that decision! This was murder!
I remember back here in Ireland when Cops treated people like that. They all ended up in ditches
There is no situation that a cop won't make worse. Never call the cops on someone unless you want them to die.
Acting strange is illegal? What actual law did he break? How could any reasonable person or persons not realize that what they were doing was going to kill this man. Police training in this country is absolutely insane.
Police misconduct is getting worse and worse.
You could see the one officer shifting his weight, purposefully driving his knee into Gonzales's back. This shows that the officers had the intention to inflict harm. Yet they escape justice, showing the depth of corruption in Alameda
They are trying to unalive him by applying all thAt pressure
These Cops were pushing all the oxygen out of his body and trying to make him talk too😢💔😢 they knew what they were doing "THEY KNEW"
“It’s okay, we’re going to take care of you” as he’s pressed face down into the dirt, struggling to breath.
Also love how there is a man being put on trial for manslaughter on an officer who died from natural causes, a heart attack, while unlawfully arresting the man, yet police rarely are held accountable for directly causing the deaths of so many people, innocent or not.
And they kept their promise, they DID take care of him, just despicable, and they are still cops which is just scary as hell.
Remember: the cops didn’t pay Mario’s family that money. We did.
You can hear their weight asphyxiating him. He is clearly struggling to breath as they tell him "It's okay. We're gonna take care of you" crushing him with their weight. They basically killed him as they smiled and reassured him they were there to help him. These are some sick phucks!
My thoughts exactly.
Exactly criminal charges should have been filled.
disgraceful that they were not charged ... "we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing" SMH
So cops think "acting strangely in public" is a crime? Let alone a capital offense. That'll really clog the courts in California. Glad his family is gonna be cared for.
It’s ok Mario we are going to take care of you, it’s ok… and you can tell he can’t breath.
Yep, The excuses such as resisting and don't fight us is not a license to kill. The deception of officers being calm while asphyxiating sickens me. Not everybody is a murderer and should not be treated as such.
The prosecutors are a problem.
The police invented a new meaning for the word “care!” WOW!
They’re only asking questions and talking to him, to show that he’s responding. While applying their full body weight on a cuffed citizen. This is to cover their wrongdoing. These corrupt cowards know what they are doing. Qualified immunity needs to be abolished.
And they need to B sitting n Prison .
Welcome to Alameda County, CA law enforcement. I live an hour from where this happened, and these cops should've lost their freedom after Mario lost his life.
500%
Wow. They got away with Murder, on recorded video.
...again.
