Cops not charged over death of Daniel Prude involving spit-hood on his head


Apparently spit hoods are mesh and do not inhibit breathing! He was on drugs and naked how ever as usual.....Protests erupt in Rochester after decision not to charge any cops over the death of Daniel Prude who had spit-hood placed on his head during naked psychiatric breakdown

Daniel Prude's death last March and the release of the video six months later sparked nightly protests in Rochester, New York

Hundreds of New Yorkers marched on police stations and public buildings in Rochester on Tuesday, but no arrested were reported to have been made

State Attorney General Letitia James said her office 'presented the strongest case possible' and she was 'extremely disappointed' by the decision

Barricades were placed in front of the Public Safety Building in anticipation for the decision

Lawyers for the seven police officers suspended over Prude's death have said the officers were strictly following their training that night

They claimed Prude's use of PCP, which caused irrational behavior, was 'the root cause' of his death

It ain't over -- despite the Grand Jury no-billing the cops, the State Attorney General has taken up the case.

Maybe he choked on his spit.
