A New York grand jury declined to issue any charges against Rochester police officers for their roles in the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man who died days after being restrained by police in March. Prude was ”in the throes of a mental health crisis,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said, and was "literally crying out for help" when officers restrained him while he lay naked in a street. James acknowledged that many would be "disappointed from this outcome” and promised a "multifaceted" effort to amend New York's use-of-force law. |
