<p>Seven officers have been suspended following the release of the video of Daniel Prude’s arrest back in March. As we <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/video-surfaces-of-daniel-prude-dying-of-suffocation-after-rochester-police-put-a-hood-over-his-head-during-an-arrest-back-in-march/">previously</a></em> reported, the video was released by Prude’s family and shows him on the ground and in handcuffs. Officers then place a “spit sock” over his head as they pinned him to the ground on his stomach until he stops breathing.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/03/us/rochester-police-daniel-prude-death/index.html">CNN</a></em>, Rochester Mayor, Lovely Warren announced on Thursday that she has suspended the seven officers involved in the incident. During a press conference, she also indicated that she was misled by the city’s police chief. She was reportedly misled to believe that he died in police custody due to an overdose.</p>
<p>Daniel, who was 41, was having a mental health episode when his brother called the authorities for help.</p>
<p>In the video, which was provided by attorneys, a few minutes later, EMTs arrived at the scene and began to perform chest compressions. He was then placed on a gurney and into an ambulance. His brother said that when he arrived at the hospital he was brain dead.</p>
<p>He, unfortunately, passed away a week later.</p>
<p>The Monroe County Medical examiner ruled Daniel’s death a homicide. The autopsy report cites complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint as a finding. The report also cites excited delirium and acute PCP intoxication as causes of death.</p>
<p>Joe Prude said at a press conference, &#8220;How many more brothers got to die for society to understand that this needs to stop. And I can&#8217;t even share with y&#8217;all the pain that I&#8217;m feeling, and my family is going through as well.&#8221;</p>
