Rochester police chief out in fallout over Prude death

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren fired the police chief and suspended her top lawyer and communications director Monday in the continuing upheaval over the suffocation death of Daniel Prude.

Instead, Warren said at a news conference that she had permanently relieved him while suspending Corporation Counsel Tim Curtin and Communications Director Justin Roj without pay for 30 days. His death has sparked nearly two weeks of nightly protests after his relatives released police body camera video and written reports they obtained through a public records request.

The Mayor is awful and needs to go for so many reasons!

NewsRadio930 lovelyawarren is the one who needs to RESIGN or be FIRED! She is a disgrace for allowing her city to be in such disarray! It was a mess BEFORE & way worse NOW

The imagery of police brutality in this country reflects these deep feelings of disconnection, in 'Secret' dishonesty.

Let’s see... a Democrat Mayor with a Democrat City Council. The Mayor and City Council make the laws and mandates for the city. So the people that voted them in now riot in complaint and will vote the same people back in who made the laws / mandates they are protesting 😂😂

That's a leader with principles

Hey , how can the mayor oust someone that resigned last week?

NewsRadio930 He resigned last week . Wtf

NewsRadio930 They didn't take his life seriously, actually.

They are all killers .

Why did it take so long to take this action.

this happened in MARCH?! And we're only just NOW Finding out and DOING SOMETHING about it?!?

How Lovely

Can't say much for the officer's actions, but choking to death on one's vomit while on PCP is not uncommon. Same issue with an alcohol stupor condition.

The police chief is black. Isn't this racist?

They were retiring in two weeks. This is performative bs. 'You can't quit, I'm firing you.' 'You can't fire me, I already quit.' Never try to appease the mob, because one day they will come for you.

Now arrest the officers involved

dallas tx. our black female chief quit. black mayor trying to fire black city manager, mayor refuses to interact with council, black/black murders are constant, majority council trying to defund police. virus cases way up today. west nile spiking. other than that...

shannonrwatts So would this be the case if people refused to protest police brutality Probably not.

shannonrwatts Good

So much for the “few bad apples” narrative!

You can’t retire. You are fired.

wolfblitzer

Unless he changes the system that made this possible, this is nothing

Let em know mayor!! 🔥🔥💪

Honestly, the cops should just totally withdraw from all majority black neighborhoods. They don’t want them there anyway.

this mf named 'Lovely'

Black police chief
