'They didn't have no dignity in what they was doing to my brother,' said Joe Prude, whose brother, Daniel, died of asphyxiation after police restrained him during a March arrest. 'They treated my brother like he was an animal in the street. A stray.'
."He was a good dude all the way around. He was down to earth, a good generous man at heart."
When police officers found him, Daniel Prude was naked and in distress. Police said he was being destructive, allegedly smashing windows of storefronts and saying he had the coronavirus. They asked him to stop before placing a hood over his head, which is supposed to protect against infection.
