ROCHESTER. N.Y. (WROC) — Sunday would have been Daniel Prude’s 42 birthday and many gathered to celebrate his life in the daily protests since his death after an encounter with Rochester Police Department in March.

“We’re hopeful that the cops who killed Daniel Prude are prosecuted and indicted and the Attorney General’s Office has the power to do so,” Stanley Martin of Free the People ROC said. “We also have to think of systemic issues that are beyond her power that might actually have the Prude family receive justice.”
