Police officers who put a hood over the head of a mentally distraught black man, then pressed his body against the pavement until he stopped breathing will not face criminal charges after a grand jury declined to indict them.. Police initially described his death as a drug overdose.
One officer pushed Mr Prude's face against the ground, while another officer pressed a knee to his back. The officers held him down for about two minutes until he fell unconscious. He was taken off life support a week later.Daniel Prude: Death of black man pinned and spit-hooded by US police will be probed by a grand jury
She said she was bound to respect the grand jury's decision, but she also condemned a system that she said had"frustrated efforts to hold law enforcement officers accountable for the unjustified killing of African Americans." Lawyers for the seven police officers suspended over Mr Prude's death have said the officers were strictly following their training that night, employing a restraining technique known as"segmenting." They claimed Mr Prude's use of PCP, which caused irrational behaviour, was"the root cause" of his death.
Autopsy states he died from manic delirium. A side affect of overdosing on pcp. Investigation reports that Daniel prude was admitted to a mental ward, then released. Footage shows prude demanding officers hand him a gun. Prude died from drug overdose.
the US is a shithole country
FFS
Sigh, this is why you can't have peaceful protests...
Nothing new here
if i remember correctly, Saddam Hussein had a hood over his head when he was executed, does anyone ELSE think breeding out the autistic is a eugenics crime against humanity?
Not all equal under the law it seems. Again.
Looks white to me so I’m surprised there’s any outrage . Hang on a minute looks like a black cop is involved
This is horrible, but it's wrong to claim it's a race thing. He was running naked through the streets, spitting on them. They restrained him, he died. How is that racism? It's not. Perhaps they could've done things different, perhaps not. Stop trying to be divisive.
I'd like to know why
SBS? Call murder what it is.
SBS Did kkk members join the police force or were they always members?
SBS Fucks sake!
i mean you could have said “US police that murdered Daniel Prude during a mental health crisis” - didn’t need to do all that typing in the passive voice
Not really surprising... sad to say
WTF
To protect and to suffocate until you die.
Well, considering the tangerine was indicted, is anyone actually surprised?
So just murderers with badges walking around the community That’s really fucked
I am so f**** angry!!
If it turns out you've taken a couple of aspirin before the police kill you it inevitably turns out that you died from overdose. It doesn't matter that you wouldn't have died without the police getting rough with you, none of it was their responsibility. Ever.
All cops are criminals
So the police should just let a crazy naked black run around at night
