00:08.184 --> 00:09.496
FIRING AND ARRESTS OF SEVERAL %

00:09.497 --> 00:10.760
POLICE OFFICERS, INVOLVED IN AN

00:10.761 --> 00:12.350
INCIDENT THAT LED TO THE DEATH %

00:12.352 --> 00:13.831
OF A BLACK MAN IN ROCHESTER, %

00:13.865 --> 00:14.598
NEW YORK.

00:14.599 --> 00:16.235
PORTIONS OF THE BODY CAMERA %

00:16.269 --> 00:17.167
VIDEO WAS JUST RELEASED %

00:17.169 --> 00:19.042
YESTERDAY BY THE FAMILY. %

00:19.043 --> 00:21.387
BEFORE WE SHOW A WARNING, IT IS

00:21.388 --> 00:22.689
DISTURBING.

00:22.723 --> 00:27.220
>> THIS VIDEO FROM MARCH SHOWS %

00:27.221 --> 00:29.427
POLICE OFFICERS PLACING A HOOD %

00:29.428 --> 00:31.492
OVER 41-YEAR-OLD DANIEL PRUDE,

00:31.527 --> 00:34.192
BECAUSE HE SAID HE HAD COVID. %

00:34.194 --> 00:35.433
THEY THEN PRESSED HIS FACE INTO

00:35.467 --> 00:36.207
THE PAVEMENT BEFORE HE WENT %

00:36.241 --> 00:37.196
LIMP. %

00:37.230 --> 00:39.750
THIS IS ONLY A PORTION OF THE %

00:39.784 --> 00:40.949
BODY CAM VIDEO RELEASE BY %

00:40.951 --> 00:42.578
PRUDE’S FAMILY. %

00:42.579 --> 00:44.692
AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT %

00:44.693 --> 00:46.270
HAPPENED BEFOREHAND. %

00:46.304 --> 00:48.538
PRUDE WAS TAKEN OFF LIFE %

00:48.539 --> 00:49.858
SUPPORT FIVE DAYS LATER. %

00:49.893 --> 00:51.599
THE POLICE CHIEF WON’T COMMENT %

00:51.600 --> 00:52.767
ON THIS BECAUSE OF TWO %

00:52.768 --> 00:54.425
INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE CASE %

00:54.426 --> 00:56.048
AND A POTENTIAL LAWSUIT.

00:56.083 --> 00:58.745
STEPHANIE GOSS JOINS ME NOW. %

00:58.746 --> 01:01.093
STEPHANIE, WHAT DO WE KNOW %

01:01.127 --> 01:02.578
ABOUT THE MOMENT LEADING UP TO %

01:02.579 --> 01:03.864
THE ENCOUNTER WITH PRUDE. %

01:03.865 --> 01:05.399
>> THE FIRST THING PEOPLE NEED %

01:05.400 --> 01:06.388
TON IS THIS DIDN’T JUST HAPPEN %

01:06.389 --> 01:07.395
LAST WEEK. %

01:07.396 --> 01:08.515
IT HAPPENED MONTHS AGO, BACK IN

01:08.516 --> 01:09.291
MARCH. %

01:09.325 --> 01:12.396
THE DAY WAS MARCH 23rd. %

01:12.397 --> 01:14.694
AND YOU MAY KNOW THAT ROSTEST %

01:14.728 --> 01:15.948
IS -- ROCHESTER IS IN UPSTATE %

01:15.949 --> 01:16.618
NEW YORK. %

01:16.619 --> 01:17.649
IT IS VERY COLD THAT TIME OF %

01:17.650 --> 01:19.260
YEAR. %

01:19.261 --> 01:22.249
AND YOU SEE THIS MAN IN THE %

01:22.251 --> 01:23.284
VIDEO RUNNING WITHOUT CLOTHES, %

01:23.318 --> 01:25.148
BEING APPREHENDED BY POLICE. %

01:25.183 --> 01:27.692
WHAT WE KNOW IS HIS BROTHER HAD

01:27.693 --> 01:28.961
CALLED POLICE CALLING FOR HELP,

01:28.963 --> 01:29.957
SAYING THAT DANIEL WAS ACTING %

01:29.959 --> 01:31.001
ERRATICALLY. %

01:31.002 --> 01:32.689
WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT A TRUCK

01:32.724 --> 01:34.604
DRIVER PHONED 911 AS WELL, %

01:34.639 --> 01:35.688
SAYING THAT THERE WAS A MAN

01:35.722 --> 01:37.082
RUNNING AROUND, SAYING HE HAD %

01:37.116 --> 01:37.493
COVID.

01:37.527 --> 01:40.953
NOW, IN THE VIDEO, WHICH IS %

01:40.955 --> 01:42.876
ABOUT 11 MINUTES LONG, AND IT’S

01:42.877 --> 01:44.120
EDITED, YOU SEE THE POLICE %

01:44.121 --> 01:45.406
APPREHEND DANIEL PRUDE, PUT %

01:45.441 --> 01:47.030
HANDCUFFS ON HIM, AND THEN PUT %

01:47.064 --> 01:49.607
THIS SPIT HOOD OVER HIS HEAD. %

01:49.641 --> 01:51.400
ALSO IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND,

01:51.434 --> 01:54.967
IN MARCH, IN NARYK NEW YORK, %

01:54.968 --> 01:57.633
THERE WAS AN ENORMOUS SPIKE OF %

01:57.668 --> 01:58.721
CORONAVIRUS IN THE STATE, IN

01:58.722 --> 02:00.116
NEW YORK CITY, BUT ALSO UPSTATE

02:00.150 --> 02:00.652
AS WELL.

02:00.653 --> 02:01.714
THEN AFTER THAT, PRUDE IS %

02:01.715 --> 02:03.603
FORCED TO THE GROUND. %

02:03.638 --> 02:07.257
AND THERE IS A MOMENT, WHERE AN

02:07.292 --> 02:09.173
OFFICER, FOR TWO MINUTES, HAS

02:09.207 --> 02:10.227
HIS HANDS AROUND DANIEL PRUDE’S

02:10.228 --> 02:10.629
HEAD. %

02:10.630 --> 02:12.371
ANOTHER OFFICER IS KNEELING ON %

02:12.405 --> 02:13.650
HIS BACK.

02:13.651 --> 02:15.820
LATER IN THE VIDEO, EMTs COME

02:15.854 --> 02:18.400
AND PERFORM CPR ON HIM. %

02:18.401 --> 02:20.317
HE’S THEN TRANSFERRED TO A %

02:20.318 --> 02:22.518
HOSPITAL, PUT ON LIFE SUPPORT %

02:22.553 --> 02:24.002
AND DAYS LATER.

02:24.003 --> 02:26.297
HE NOW HAVE A COPY OF THE %

02:26.332 --> 02:28.368
MEDICAL EXAMINER’S REPORT THAT %

02:28.369 --> 02:31.236
CALLS IT A HOMICIDE.

02:31.271 --> 02:32.807
ONE IS ASPHYXIATION. %

02:32.808 --> 02:37.398
THE OTHER, EXCITED DELIRIUM. %

02:37.399 --> 02:41.954
UNCLEAR WHAT THAT MEANS. %

02:41.988 --> 02:44.242
AND THE OTHER, BOX INTOXICATION

02:44.276 --> 02:45.385
BY PCP.

02:45.387 --> 02:48.175
THERE IS A HEATED AND %

02:48.209 --> 02:49.455
PASSIONATE RESPONSE FROM THE %

02:49.456 --> 02:50.225
FAMILIES. %

02:50.226 --> 02:52.193
THEY ARE NOW CALLING FOR THE %

02:52.227 --> 02:53.275
ARRESTS OF THE POLICE OFFICERS.

02:53.276 --> 02:54.190
YOU HAVE PROTESTS. %

02:54.224 --> 02:55.616
AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE

02:55.651 --> 02:56.565
STATE OF NEW YORK, LOOKING

02:56.600 --> 02:58.029
INTO THIS INCIDENT. %

02:58.030 --> 03:01.030
SHE CALLS IT A TRAGEDY, AND %

03:01.032 --> 03:02.512
ADDS THAT THEY WILL BE %

03:02.547 --> 03:03.292
INVESTIGATING LIKE THEY %

03:03.327 --> 03:03.820
INVESTIGATE EVERYTHING, %

03:03.821 --> 03:04.166
THOROUGHLY. %

03:04.168 --> 03:05.832
AND IF CHARGES ARE NECESSARY. %

03:05.833 --> 03:06.622
THERE WILL BE CHARGES.

03:06.624 --> 03:07.260
SAVANNAH?%

03:07.261 --> 03:09.454
>> NOW, I KNOW THAT YOU %

03:09.455 --> 03:10.549
MENTIONED THIS. %

03:10.550 --> 03:12.120
BUT LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT %

03:12.122 --> 03:13.684
MORE ABOUT THAT SPIT HOOD. %

03:13.685 --> 03:14.970
WE KNOW HIS HEAD WAS COVERED. %

03:15.005 --> 03:17.922
WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT %

03:17.923 --> 03:19.031
THAT?

03:19.065 --> 03:22.570
>> Reporter: WELL, YOU KNOW.

03:22.604 --> 03:24.310
SPIT HOOD IS FAIRLY %

03:24.345 --> 03:25.132
CONTROVERSIAL TACTIC POLICE %

03:25.167 --> 03:25.636
SOMETIMES USE. %

03:25.638 --> 03:26.608
THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH %
IT IN THE PAST.  %

03:26.642 --> 03:27.742
IT IN THE PAST.  %

03:27.744 --> 03:30.924
BUT IN THE CASE WHERE THE HOOD

03:30.925 --> 03:32.584
BEING PUT ON, OFFICERS HAVE %

03:32.618 --> 03:34.050
CONCERNS ABOUT CORONAVIRUS, %

03:34.085 --> 03:35.791
THAT WILL BE A BIG PART OF THIS

03:35.792 --> 03:36.887
INVESTIGATION, WHETHER THAT %

03:36.888 --> 03:39.096
NEEDED TO BE PUT ON OR NOT PUT %

03:39.097 --> 03:40.081
ON, WILL CERTAINLY BE PART OF %

03:40.082 --> 03:40.728
THIS. %

03:40.730 --> 03:42.470
ALSO, A BIG PART OF THIS WILL %

03:42.505 --> 03:43.793
BE HOW HE WAS ARRESTED, HOW HE %

03:43.795 --> 03:44.545
WAS DETAINED.

03:44.546 --> 03:46.423
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS %

03:46.425 --> 03:48.389
THAT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT %

03:48.423 --> 03:50.289
WITH THESE VIDEOS IS THAT WHILE

03:50.290 --> 03:52.398
THEY DO SHOW A GOOD PORTION OF %

03:52.432 --> 03:53.499
THE INCIDENT, THEY DON’T OFTEN

03:53.500 --> 03:54.683
HAVE ALL OF THE CONTEXT OF WHAT

03:54.717 --> 03:56.127
WENT ON. %

03:56.128 --> 03:57.917
THAT’S WHY THEY HAVE TO BE %

03:57.918 --> 03:58.684
INVESTIGATED. %

03:58.685 --> 03:59.868
THAT’S WHY SOMETIMES THESE %

03:59.869 --> 04:00.601
INVESTIGATIONS TAKE SOMETIME. %

04:00.636 --> 04:03.704
BUT THAT SPIT HOOD WILL %

04:03.738 --> 04:05.525
CERTAINLY BE AT THE CENTER OF %

04:05.527 --> 04:05.963
IT. %

04:05.998 --> 04:06.251
SAVANNAH?%

04:06.286 --> 04:07.873
>> AND STEPHANIE, YOU ALSO MADE

04:07.907 --> 04:09.357
THE IMPORTANT NOTE AT THE %

04:09.391 --> 04:10.130
BEGINNING OF THIS CONVERSATION,

04:10.132 --> 04:10.895
THAT THIS DIDN’T JUST HAPPEN %

04:10.896 --> 04:11.545
LAST WEEK. %

04:11.546 --> 04:12.616
THIS HAPPENED IN MARCH. %

04:12.650 --> 04:15.673
WHY ARE WE JUST NOW SEEING THIS

04:15.674 --> 04:16.316
VIDEO?

04:16.351 --> 04:18.753
>> Reporter: WELL, THAT’S %

04:18.755 --> 04:20.215
INTERESTING.

04:20.250 --> 04:24.649
THE ATTORNEY FOR THE FAMILY HAD

04:24.684 --> 04:28.461
CALLED FOR A FOYA, FREEDOM OF %

04:28.462 --> 04:30.318
INFORMATION ACT RELEASED.

04:30.319 --> 04:32.010
IT WAS THEN RELEASED PUBLICLY %

04:32.011 --> 04:32.909
BY THE CITY. %

04:32.944 --> 04:35.353
THAT’S WHY WE’RE SEEING IT NOW.

04:35.388 --> 04:37.461
THE CITY ITSELF AND THE MAYOR %

04:37.495 --> 04:38.494
HERSELF, COMING UNDER FIRE, FOR

04:38.495 --> 04:39.978
NOT DRAWING ATTENTION TO THIS %

04:40.012 --> 04:41.142
CASE EARLIER ON.

04:41.143 --> 04:43.188
HOWEVER, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL %

04:43.189 --> 04:45.358
WAS CALLED IN OVER THE SUMMER %

04:45.359 --> 04:47.003
BY GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO, TO DO

04:47.038 --> 04:48.321
THIS SPECIAL INVESTIGATION.

04:48.355 --> 04:51.448
BUT AS WE’VE SEEN OVER AND OVER

04:51.449 --> 04:53.932
AGAIN, IT IS THE VIDEO, AND %

04:53.933 --> 04:55.122
PEOPLE SEEING THE VIDEO, THAT %

04:55.156 --> 04:56.165
TRIGGERS THE MOST PASSIONATE %
RESPONSE SOMETIMES.  %

04:56.199 --> 04:56.832
RESPONSE SOMETIMES.  %

04:56.833 --> 05:00.126
>> NOW, YOU’VE TOLD US THAT %

05:00.127 --> 05:01.524
THEY WILL BE INVESTIGATING %

05:01.525 --> 05:02.050
THIS. %

05:02.051 --> 05:02.955
THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID %

05:02.956 --> 05:05.541
THAT. %

05:05.542 --> 05:09.957
WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW FROM THE %

05:09.991 --> 05:11.514
ROCHESTER POLICE, THE GENERAL %

05:11.548 --> 05:12.343
ATTORNEY’S INVESTIGATION. %

05:12.378 --> 05:13.584
>> WE REACHED OUT TO THE UNION %

05:13.618 --> 05:14.267
FOR POLICE. %

05:14.268 --> 05:15.588
AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED %

05:15.589 --> 05:16.895
BACK TO US.

05:16.897 --> 05:19.435
THE POLICE DON’T WANT TO SAY %

05:19.436 --> 05:20.851
ANYTHING RIGHT NOW WHILE THESE %

05:20.853 --> 05:21.906
INVESTIGATIONS ARE ONGOING. %

05:21.941 --> 05:23.951
BUT THE FAMILY HAS CALLED FOR %

05:23.985 --> 05:24.988
THE SUSPENSION OF THESE POLICE %

05:25.023 --> 05:26.044
OFFICERS. %

05:26.045 --> 05:27.390
THEY’LL COME UNDER INCREASED %

05:27.392 --> 05:28.375
PRESSURE, PROBABLY, TO SUSPEND %

05:28.376 --> 05:29.699
THOSE OFFICERS AS A RESULT OF %
WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.  %

05:29.733 --> 05:30.933
WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.  %

05:30.935 --> 05:32.366
BUT OTHERWISE, THERE HASN’T %

05:32.367 --> 05:34.625
BEEN A LOT OF COMMUNICATION. %

05:34.660 --> 05:36.212
NOW, THEY HAVE A SITUATION %

05:36.213 --> 05:37.068
WHERE YOU SAW PROTESTS %

05:37.103 --> 05:37.691
YESTERDAY. %

05:37.692 --> 05:38.701
THERE WILL LIKELY BE MORE %

05:38.736 --> 05:39.691
PROTESTS. %

05:39.693 --> 05:41.256
AND THEY WANT TO OBVIOUSLY KEEP

05:41.257 --> 05:42.017
THOSE PROTESTS PEACEFUL. %

05:42.051 --> 05:42.278
SAVANNAH?%
%

05:42.313 --> 05:44.614
%

05:44.615 --> 05:48.578
>> ALL RIGHT, STEPHANIE, THANK %

05:48.613 --> 05:48.818
YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING %
