This a plea to journalists.
When someone dies under a pile of officers, the death is NOT an isolated event.
And there are many more deaths than just the death of George Floyd.
Let's start with 4/19/21 death of #MarioGonzalez
Body camera released yesterday

Gonzalez was held prone (on stomach) and handcuffed for multiple minutes before he stopped breathing
Happened in Alameda, CA, day before George Floyd verdict.
It's generated quite a few stories now that body cam is out

It's natural for people to see this and instantly think of Floyd
But here's the thing,
Our ongoing #PRONE investigation has found dozens of other deaths just like the deaths of Floyd and Gonzalez
How many?
My list now has 118 names. People like Roy Nelson. Died in 2015
