ALAMEDA, Calif. - Supporters of a man who died after being handcuffed face down on the ground by Alameda police want to know one simple question: Why was he detained in the first place? The video clearly shows that there was no reason to detain Mario, said Gerardo Gonzalez in a statement that was crafted with help from CURYJ, or Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice, in Oakland. He was nonviolent and even the 911 caller knew Mario was not a threat. At no point was Mario a threat to himself or to the officers. There was absolutely no reason to pile on top of Mario.
