ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court for Western New York asserts sweeping change is necessary to reform what it describes as the racist, predatory, brutal culture and actions of the Rochester Police Department.
The lawsuit comes a little more than a year after the death of Daniel Prude, a 41-year-old Black man who was restrained by Rochester officers until he asphyxiated and lost consciousness, later dying in hospital.
