JUST IN: New York AG Letitia James says she has empowered a state grand jury to probe the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man whose head was covered with a spit hood as he was restrained by Rochester police.

“The Prude family and the Rochester community have been through great pain and anguish," she said."My office will immediately move to empanel a grand jury as part of our exhaustive investigation into this matter.""I thank Attorney General James for taking this action because it is a trying time in Rochester," she said."I ask that the community to allow the AG’s process to go forth on behalf of the Prude family.

When Daniel Prude returned to his brother's home—he had been visiting from Chicago—he started acting out again, and Joe Prude said he called authorities for help once more. But after he was handcuffed, Daniel Prude started talking gibberish and asking officers for a gun, it shows. Rochester police said they put a spit hood on him because he told them he had COVID-19.

Why ? Do they hate us so much that any means possible to get rid of us!!!

Leave the blue states while you can. Law and order no longer a priority. Anti cop Social justice the new fad. Pathetic

He said he had Covid and he was spitting on the police. He was also either naked or partially naked and showing signs of mental illness. It’s perfectly legal for the police to protect themselves

Some junkie nudist threatening to spread a horrible disease shouldn’t be a martyr for all these clowns and an excuse to riot and pillage. Police did what they had to do, stop trying to start a race war. AllLivesMatter MAGA

Waist of time and money

I believe the word you are looking for is EMPANELED, not empowered. Geez

So many times there’s drugs involved. His family couldn’t save him

It is time for POTUS to appoint a consortium of Doctors to council you on a path forward to deal with COVID 19. Not to discredit Dr Fauci or Brix it just seems we need more views.

More black cops are needed.

and she did it against the advice of the lawyers. mostly, it appears she did it because her heart told her her head was wrong. she just wants her minute of fame. this will be tossed and she will fade out

I wont rush to blame the cops on this one _ They were dealing with an uncontrollable PCP addict !!!

If the poor guy was talking gibberish, they should have known he needed medical attention and possible drug related! We live in a country that doesn’t train cops the right way! Procedures in place go against human rights! This is a violation and why people are being killed!

I watched the over an hour video of each police cam. The police did not disrespect him, they did not curse, or get violent w him. The bag was to keep themselves safe from all spitting he was doing. Idk what else they could have done. Sad for Prude but not murder. Not this time.

two things you would have to give up to get a conviction: - that masks don't interfere with breathing - basic facts about human anatomy

Cause he was spitting....🤷‍♀️

He looks white in the video, maybe they had the color confused and that’s why he died. Looked whacked out on drugs.

This is the US we live in now. What a pity!

Well maybe you should not do PCP! When did this country start worrying about criminals! Fuck them stop breaking the law! There is not good excuse. blm can give!!! Stop breaking the law! Taylor was assisting a drug dealer I don’t feel bad!

You know, I don’t want to discuss anything that they did to get the man to sit there BUT How the Hell did you police officers kill him between this picture and what ever the final picture was with him dead.

Was he spitting ?

Pack it up. .the damage is done. The Dems thought that approving the violence was going to get them the votes...Joe said it himself...its costing their poll numbers...too little too late

Praise God for AG James or there might be no justice in the land. TishJames

Well when you spit on someone during a global pandemic things like that can happen🤓

You forgot to mention that he was out of his mind on PCP.

The criminal that was running around neighborhoods naked high on PCP? Sounds like a true Democratic Party hero.

Your desperate try to sway votes with a really weak story won’t change a mind, but this anti-American BLM crap will: whytrumpcanstillwineveninapandemic

So, the family is all upset that the police put a hood over his head, and why is it THE FAMILY let him run around nude and drugged up and then called the police! The Family didn't want anything to do with him!!

There idiots he died from COVID-19 mixed with illegal drugs in his system What’s new another family looking for free money

There comes a point in the history of every republic where the populace chooses freedom & justice over extinction. History is resplendent with examples. It's our turn to choose!

She is finally doing her job! 5 months late! She has been working on her new game show in trying to keep her campaign promise. Phishing for Trump!

This is Abu Ghraib all over again. This time this insanely and inhuman action is taking place inside America. Not a foreign land. This is a clear case of human violation brought to to you by racist forces in America. Why is Amnesty International is silent?!

Que humilhação!

His brother called 911, why didn't he call the blm hotline?

Shouldn’t have been spitting

“I was only following orders”

They were busy mocking him.... the arrogance to wear body camera and not care how you handle yourself.... we need police and we need justice. Everyone stop picking one or the other🙄

SEVEN COPS ON scene and you can't handle someone that cuffed... resign...i'm not paying goofs that can's do the job...or in this case let someone die in their custody...

COPS WANTED US TO BE HANDCUFFED BEHIND THEIR BACK IN MEDIC'S TOO...THINK ABOUT HOW STUPID THAT IS... tHE GUY FELL OVER WHY, HE CAN'T BREATHE YOU LET HIM DIE.. IDIOT'S HE MENTALLY ILL YES IT'S A HARD RUN.. QUIT THE POLICE FORCE IF YOU CAN'T DO THE JOB.

COVID-19 armed & spitting on the police is assault with a deadly weapon. A woman on PCP with a knife in hand cut her arm from wrist to elbow, switched hands and cut the other arm same. A fireman told me PCP made her crazy & gave her super strength. Important to know when deciding

🗣 Next time don’t wait for public outrage to take action 🗣

'Empowered a state grand jury' that sounds like forceful coercion to act upon this particular case

Eventually liberal cities won't be able to adequately staff their police departments. Who would work in a city where they will prosecute you for doing your job and defending yourself?

Don't do drugs

All conservatives are fat and bald don’t me

Maybe he was spitting?

All police across America have to do is treat everyone the way they treat white citizens. Then all our problems go away.

Fiat justitia, ruat coelum!

American police force rotten to the core nationwide.

Phranchyze

Fiat justitia, ruat coelum!

He told them he had Covid and then started spitting. Hence they put a spit hood on him. That, and he was freaking out on PCP. Cops do a lot of unnecessary stuff but this isn't one of those cases.

The guy was spitting on the cops saying he had Covid. This was in the early days of the pandemic, before everyone knew the extent of the political BS surrounding it. Dude was high on PCP, which is no joke. It's tragic, but it's not what the rabid anti-cop crowd wants it to be.

He told them he had cv 19 and he was spiting on them!

If the dept provided the hoods for use in those circumstances then I can't see the officers being at fault. The admins who provided the equipment and policy could be though

Quanta barbaridade!

Was he one of the asshole BLM rioters that attacked innocent people eating dinner last night

Looks like a white person

It turns out, he was spitting on people and was a dumbfuck. Investigation over.

Why do you need to mention the skin color

Tough town, from what I hear...Bills fans are a tough breed

Shameful behaviors.
