Overseas Network, February 24. Daniel Prud, an African-American man in Rochester, New York, died of suffocation during police enforcement. On the 23rd local time, New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced that the case had been submitted to the grand jury, and the jury decided not to file a lawsuit against the police involved in the case.
According to a report by Business Insider.com, James said she was extremely disappointed with the grand jury’s decision and said she will continue to work hard to reform the criminal justice system and change the standards for police use of force. James said: “We know that Daniel Prud was going through a mental health crisis at the time. The services he received lacked compassion and trained professionals. I feel heartache for him.”
In March 2020, Daniel’s younger brother Joe Prud called 911 to seek help for his mental illness, but this call for help led to Daniel’s death. According to the video released by the police, Prader was lying naked on the street at the time. The police wore a “spit mask” to Daniel for fear of carrying the new crown virus and pressed his head on the ground for two minutes. After Daniel stopped struggling, the police took off his hood and handcuffs. The forensic doctor conducted an autopsy and stated that the cause of Prud’s death was homicide, which was caused by “complication of asphyxiation under physical restraint.” Joe Prud said: “I called for help, not for my brother to be lynched.” He thought it was a cold-blooded murder. After the incident, the seven police officers who were at the scene were suspended from their posts, and the chief of the Rochester Police Department announced his resignation.
