According2Sam #88

On the same day the verdict was reached in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, for killing George Floyd while attempting to take him into custody, an unarmed 26 year old California man named Mario Gonzalez lost his life while Alameda police were attempting to take him into custody. The similarities between what happened to Mario Gonzalez and what happened to George Floyd are staggering! However, there are some major differences as well. Some of the similarities are that both men were resisting the officers and where in a struggle. They were both placed in the prone position, handcuffed, and were held down by several officers while knelling on them with their body weight. They both died in that position. Some major differences are that there was no viral cell phone video to capture Gonzalez's last breath. There were no marches, riots, or looting for him either. Gonzalez's death isn't being talked about 24/7 in mainstream media, and there are no demands that the officers be 'held accountable'. It's as if no one cares about Gonzalez outside of his family. One other major difference is that George Floyd was Black and Mario Gonzalez was not, perhaps this difference explains why Floyd's death was more valuable. How do the race pimps decide which cases they are going to exploit and make them high profile, and how are they getting rich by tearing America apart? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #88.
