This is SICK.
Not surprising, but disgusting on so many levels that you have to wonder are we really living in a 3rd World Country?
A man called the cops because his brother was having a mental health issue. They found the man naked and obviously in distress. They handcuff him even though he is naked, leave him naked out in the snow, put a bag over his head, and then assaulted him until he stopped breathing.
The cops and EMTs laugh and mock him while he is dying.
Joe Prude called the police for help. His brother was acting strangely and had suddenly bolted out the back door.
But when Rochester police found Daniel Prude soon after, naked and walking in the street, they handcuffed him, mocked him, put a mesh bag over his head, knelt on his back, and pushed his face into the ground until he stopped breathing, police records and body camera video shared with The Appeal show. Prude, who is Black, was unarmed.
The medical examiner determined Prude’s death was a homicide, caused by “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint,” a report from the Monroe County Medical Examiner shows. The medical examiner’s report attributes those complications to “excited delirium“—a controversial diagnosis often cited by law enforcement that isn’t recognized by major medical professional organizations—due to acute phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication.
The Rochester Police Department did not respond to an email and a voicemail seeking comment.
None of the officers involved in Prude’s death appear to have been disciplined. One officer tasked with investigating the incident wrote in a report that “the officers’ actions and conduct displayed when dealing with Prude appear to be appropriate and consistent with their training.”
What the cops are saying is they are trained to murder black people and get away with it.
The video shows all types of criminal behavior, but no one has been punished.
