Black man died of suffocation after officers put 'spit hood' on him
A naked Black man who told Rochester, New York, police after his brother called 911 that he had COVID-19 was restrained with handcuffs and a spit hood, and his head was forced into the asphalt before he went limp, according to part of police video released by his family Wednesday.
"He's defenseless," Joe Prude said."He's got on no damn clothes. ... They're treating my brother like a damn animal. You sit there teasing him, laughing and making practical jokes." Story continuesAt 3:16 a.m., according to a timestamp on the video, officers arrived wearing winter gear as what appeared to be rain fell on a wet roadway where Daniel Prude stood nude. He immediately complied with orders to lie on the ground face down and put his hands behind his back, it shows.
Paramedics went into action, administering CPR, the video shows. At that point, an officer said,"I'm going to get some more hand sanitizer."
