Seven Officers Involved in Daniel Prude Death Have Been Suspended

Seven police officers involved in the asphyxiation death of Daniel Prude last spring have been suspended, the mayor of Rochester, N.Y, said Thursday, as Black Lives Matter protesters held demonstrations in the city’s streets for a second straight day.

Mr. Prude, a Black man, died in a hospital seven days after a March 23 incident, in which Rochester Police Department officers took him into custody after responding to reports of a person acting erratically, officials and his family said.
