Daniel Prude's estate settles with city of Rochester for $12 million in 2020 death

, a Black man who died after police held him down until he stopped breathing after encountering him running naked through the city's snowy streets. A federal judge approved the settlement in a court document filed Thursday.

"It would have cost taxpayers even more to litigate, and would have placed a painful toll on our community," said Evans, who wasn't in office when PrudeThe settlement money, minus lawyers' fees and costs, will go to Prude's five children, who are heirs to the estate, attorneys said. Lawyer Matthew Piers, who represents the administrator of the estate, said,"I think that it's an amount of money that is sufficient to show that the City of Rochester recognizes that something very bad happened and that it's very important for the city to put it in the rearview mirror and move forward."

Police video showed that Prude complied with police demands to get on the ground and put his hands behind his back. He became agitated as he sat, handcuffed, on the pavement.

Surely his death had nothing to do with why he may have been running naked thru the streets......

Oh well.. guess he messed up

Sounds like excited delirium

So what was the crime ? Running ? Running in snow ? Being naked while running through snow while black ? Running naked in the streets with the name Prude ?

He was sniffing a lot of snow powder.

Lol

When is there going to be personal accountability for these wicked police individuals?

Oh here we go. BLM domestic terrorists will be rioting again.

Poor thing. No telling what he had taken to cause the reaction. 🙏
