Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and the city's police chief La'Ron Singletary called for calm as the city geared up for another night of protests following the death of Daniel Prude.
Protests that have taken place in the city since the news broke have become contentious between those involved and the police. Officers say they've been struck by bottles and rocks and have had to use pepper spray, tear gas and other weapons to disperse crowds during the demonstrations, including the one on Saturday night.
Protesters march in Rochester, New York, Sept. 5, 2020, on the fourth night of protest following the release of video showing the death of Daniel Prude.
