Mayor fires police chief following Prude s death; David Lee Miller reports.
A lawsuit filed Monday accuses Rochester officials of allowing a culture of police brutality against people of color to fester and asks a court to force reforms.
The civil rights lawsuit was filed on behalf of potentially hundreds, if not thousands of people it claims have been victimized by officers over the last three years, including while protesting last year in the wake of the revelation of the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man who lost consciousness and died after being pinned, naked, to the street by officers responding to a mental health call.
