New York Police suffocate man in their custody

[alexguiness]

The should have sent a pack of puppies in to lick him into submission...then this tragedy could have been avoided.

A naked, crazed black male high on PCP is in no way a threat to society.

There are numerous peer reviewed studies that back this fact up.

Guys fun fact, you fell for a total ruse. He died a week after they put the spit hood on him, which is what that hood is. He was also high af on PCP and going nuts in general, not a good position to be in around the police.

Arrested March 23.

Died March 30.

7 day long chokehold or what?


Proof that cops don't kill and abuse that many black men.

Gotta make up stuff and exaggerate stuff to get news.

HICAGO (CBS) — The video is hard to watch – a Black man suffocating after being taken into custody by police in Rochester, New York.

The Chicago man, Daniel Prude, died months before George Floyd.

As CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey reported Wednesday, Prude was a Chicago resident visiting Rochester when his brother called the police because he was having a mental health issue.

From there, the moments leading up to his eventual death were all captured on police body camera.

“The man is defenseless, butt-naked on the ground. He was cuffed up already,” said Daniel Prude’s brother, Joe Prude. “I mean, come on. How many more brothers need to die for society to understand that this needs to stop?”

The body cam video shows Rochester officers detaining a naked 41-year-old Daniel Prude in the early hours of March 23. Prude was ordered to lie on the ground.

Police put his hands behind his back and handcuffed him.

The video shows Prude yelling and spitting as he lies completely naked on the snow-covered ground. A white spit hood is placed on his head

Later, an officer appears to be pushing his head into the pavement.

Prude was taken to the hospital, where he died days later. His death was ruled a homicide, caused by “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint.”

Prude was from Chicago and his family said he was living in an apartment building in in Auburn Gresham.

Five months after Prude’s death, his family want the officers involved to be fired and charged in.

The New York State Attorney General’s office confirmed to us that they are investigating the case.

“The video is very disturbing,” said Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren. “I’m not going to deny that.”

On Wednesday, Mayor Warren said the investigation is in the state’s hands.
Rochester’s police chief wouldn’t answer any questions about the hood that was used or the appropriateness of the techniques shown in police body cam video.

But Rochester Police Chief La’Ron Singletary repeated several times: “This is not a cover-up. Let me be clear when I say this – there was no cover-up.”

CBS affiliate WROC-TV in Rochester noted that as per an executive order from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in May, state Attorney General Letitia James will investigate all cases in which law enforcement officers are involved in civilians’ deaths.

James released a statement as quoted by WROC:

“The death of Daniel Prude was a tragedy, and I extend my deepest condolences to his family. I share the community’s concerns about ensuring a fair and independent investigation into his death and support their right to protest. Pursuant to Executive Order 147, the Special Investigations and Prosecutions Unit of my office is already actively investigating this incident. As with every investigation, we will follow the facts of this case and ensure a complete and thorough examination of all relevant parties. We will work tirelessly to provide the transparency and accountability that all our communities deserve.”

The Monroe County, New York Medical Examiner’s office report showed that Pride also had a small amount of PCP in his system at the time of his death, which could explain his erratic behavior.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the officers involved in the incident had not been suspended.

A protest was under way at the Rochester Public Safety Building Wednesday afternoon, WROC reported.

Daniel Prude was having a MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS when his brother called 911 for help. Instead of protecting him, Rochester cops covered his head with a spit sock, knelt on his back & pushed his face into the ground until he ASPHYXIATED to DEATH!

He was taken off life support 7 days later.


Taken off life support. Had no pulse when placed in the ambulance. Autopsy states the cause of death = homicide.

why did they take him off life support?

Hospitals don't care about black ppl

Was this George w. Bush memorial hospital?

[Left Hook Tua]

black ppl need to stop taking drugs and resisting arrest
