8:04 am
calmly bring mister gonzales into a safe situation. they tried for 3 full minutes to handcuff him all standing up. they did not want to have to take him to the ground. a close examination of the video reveals that the actually have their body weight on their heels or on the there such that's really in essence they re seeing mister gonzales. >> all 3 officers are on administrative paid leave pending the outcome. all of these investigations. >> well, south bay, criminal defense attorney, though, says that the alameda police department description of gonzales. his death is a medical emergency may technically be true. but he believes that the police used excessive unreasonable and unnecessary force rough forcefully to call has that side of the story. >> south bay criminal defense attorney cody soften of the south in law firm says the alameda police departments description of 26 year-old mario gonzalez is in custody.
8:05 am
death as a medical emergency may be but south and says the emergency was caused by the officers involved who he unreasonable and unnecessary we had 2 or more calls for service. we have citizen calling in. >> more as a matter of concern for the individual. then a matter of public safety >> i was on southend says eric mckinley in first officer to arrive at the park on oak street the morning of april 19th initially showed restraint. but eventually lost patients with gonzalez. 911, callers reported was likely an armed, though he appeared intoxicated may have just committed a theft. these officers and the most powerful tool that they have in their possession or at their will is their ability to talk someone down verbally de-escalate, a situation. >> and these officers very quickly escalated to the
8:06 am
physical use of force which is absolutely unnecessary. they had time. they had distance. they had the benefit of not being in a crowd, an area where there's there would be a public safety risk wraps of people were close and they could mister gonzalez. they could see that he didn't have a weapon and all they needed to do was to give it time and to talk mister gonzalez down or trying to figure out what was going on south and has successfully settled federal civil rights cases of police misconduct. most recently with the city of palo alto and its police department. at least one officer in that case has been criminally charged south and the leaves the offices in mario gonzalez's should be prosecuted as well. but for the police actually coming to the scene. >> mister gonzalez probably would have just gone on his way and he absolutely would have been alive. still today and that's a pretty good indication that police used excessive unreasonable and unnecessary force when but for their actions, someone would still be living and no, no one

8:18 am
you know, and is right right he's really create plan actual quarterbacks. i really don't know how he does it fit with the forty-niners. another guy that has risen to the top of the list is north dakota state's trey lance. his play helped the bisons won the 2019 fcs national championship. >> the 6, 4, 224 pound signal-callers athleticism arm strength and decision-making stand out, though some have concerns about his accuracy. >> his high school coach terry bahlmann says lance's talents and maturity will lead him to success. 6, 4, to 25 runs a 4, 4, 40. it's got a cannon actual all all the physical skills are. >> are there and you're going to get a great citizen, great role model. these can be face of the franchise you want is going to be the hardest worker finally alabama's mac jones has long been in the conversation, the 6 to 217 pound qb put up huge numbers will leading the crimson tide to another national title. >> jones tout strong decision-making is excellent at reading defenses and

8:20 am
wentz and his bat contract. we're talking 51 million dollars for the next 2 years. that is still there and let's face it, the reason why they're even dropping a quarterback because of injuries in 64 games with the niners he's only played 31 games and the one full season that he did played area. he took them to the super bowl. one out of 4 seasons. so, you know, they always say your best ability is availability. he's not available. your best ability is your availability. >> everybody says that right. he show up to me at the very least you're at work. they're not showing up at work. so i he's not playing. he's you in need. might as well be you and me. but he has a bigger thank you. yeah, it is. but sit on the sideline cost a lot more. but of all right. so you're not gonna take a guess on which is 3 guys in the draft. you're not going to you're going to get a wager. i think
