Daniel Prude was in a mental health crisis. He needed support. Instead the police killed him.

Despite this obvious truth, the Attorney General's grand jury opted for impunity over accountability.

This is not justice. Our statement:

[NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky) @NYCLU]

Daniel Prude should still be alive today. Instead, he was killed by Rochester police at a time when he needed professional care.

We need a total transformation of community safety, beginning with removing RPD as first responders in mental health crises.
