On Feb. 8, the family of Michael Barrera and their supporters gathered to mark the four-year anniversary of Michael’s death in 2017 at the hands of the Woodland, California, police. In a scene similar to Eric Garner, George Floyd, and countless others, Michael was killed after being tased multiple times while handcuffed with his face down, as five or six police officers piled on his back mocking him.
According to a report by District Attorney Jeff Reizig, “Barrera said he could not breathe,” multiple times before vomiting and becoming unresponsive. Reisig who has a long record of excessive and racist charging practices ruled that officers used “reasonable and necessary force,” and the killers are still on the force today.

Sacramento-based attorney Michael Wise does not represent defendant Derrell Jones, but he was on the Zoom court call and couldn’t help but capture the moment.
