The family of Daniel Prude, a Black man who died of suffocation while being detained by police in March, and local activists today released video and records of the death and called for the officers responsible to be fired and charged in his homicide. Also among activists' demands was that police no longer be the responders to mental health calls. Prude reportedly exhibited signs of mental illness, claimed he had Covid-19 and spat at police. An officer placed a "spit hood" on Prude and several forcefully held him to the ground, which led to Prude's death by asphyxiation.
