Heads Up Rochester Peeps

Might want to prepare for things to get a little rowdy. Again.

A Black man died of asphyxiation after Rochester police officers trying to take him into protective custody pinned him to the ground while restraining him.

The incident occurred in March, two months before George Floyd's very similar death in Minneapolis touched off nationwide protests, yet it didn't become public until now.

The curtain was lifted on the death of 41-year-old man named Daniel T. Prude at a late-morning news conference today at which Prude's family and local activists called for the officers involved to be fired and charged in his homicide.

"We are in need of accountability for the wrongful death and murder of Daniel Prude. He was treated inhumanely and without dignity," said Ashley Gantt, a community organizer from Free the People Roc and the NYCLU. "These officers killed someone and are still patrolling in our community."

Monday afternoon's killing of Dijon Kizzee, 29, in South Los Angeles follows several other shootings of Black men that have sparked protests around the nation. They include the police shooting of Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed last month in his hometown of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, the Blake family’s lawyer, announced Wednesday that he also is representing Kizzee’s relatives and called the shooting a ”despicable and tragic killing." “When officers shoot first and ask questions later, precious lives are lost and police lose credibility and trust from those they are sworn to protect,” Crump said in a statement.

Kizzee was riding a bicycle when sheriff's deputies tried to stop him for an unspecified traffic violation, according to an account from the Sheriff's Department. Kizzee dropped the bike and ran before deputies caught up to him. The Sheriff's Department account said he punched a deputy in the face.

A 41-second video obtained by the Los Angeles Times shows a police SUV stop in a street. A deputy gets out, runs around a parked car and appears to try to grab Kizzee as he walks down the sidewalk. They tussle, standing, and move down the street together for several seconds. Kizzee appears to throw a punch, although the view is too unclear to confirm whether he struck the deputy.

The video then shows Kizzee breaking free, stumbling and falling to the ground. A second deputy arrives. Within about 2 seconds, they repeatedly open fire. Sheriff's officials have said a gun fell out when Kizzee dropped a jacket as he fell to the ground and he “made a motion” for the weapon — prompting the shooting.

But on the video, a fence obstructs the view at that period in the sequence of events. The Sheriff’s Department provided no new information about the case on Wednesday. Authorities haven't said how many times Kizzee was shot. The video had no audio.

However, the Times said another video from a front-door camera that didn't show the shooting recorded the sound of 15 gunshots over a 10-second period. There isn't any body camera footage because deputies in the nation's largest sheriff's department aren't equipped with them. The county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved funding, and the first group of deputies will be equipped with cameras next month.

Kizzee’s relatives have described him as devoted to his late mother and 18-year-old brother. They said he was an energetic man who loved go-karts, cars and music and that he was working toward becoming a plumber.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva offered his condolences to Kizzee’s relatives on Tuesday, who he said includes a cousin who is a Sheriff’s Department member. Residents on bicycles in communities of color are regularly stopped for supposed vehicle violations, said Donny Joubert, vice president of the Watts Gang Task Force group in Los Angeles that was created to reduce gang violence and improve community relations with police.

White cyclists in wealthy neighborhoods rarely face the same treatment, Joubert said. “They’ll pull you over on a skateboard,” Joubert said. “It means our kids can’t even ride a bike in their community without being blamed for something or being accused of something.”

The office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who represents the district where Kizzee was shot, has not received complaints alleging police harassment of Black bicyclists. But Ridley-Thomas said he heard similar accounts anecdotally following Kizzee’s death.

“It is not something with which those who are involved in criminal justice reform and representing clients are unfamiliar,” he said. Statistics nationwide show that “biking while Black” can result in disproportionate citations for people of color. A 2015 Tampa Bay Times investigation revealing that eight out of 10 bicyclists ticketed by Tampa police were Black prompted a federal probe.

A Chicago Tribune review in 2017 found that more than twice as many citations were written in African-American communities than in white or Latino areas. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department did not provide statistics regarding bicycle stops and citations on Wednesday. The Los Angeles Police Department’s figures do not break down vehicle stops by category.

[big flash]

[dwa12479]

My daughter wss supposed to go to Strong Museum with some friends tomorrow. Yeah, sorry darling. Pulling the plug on that one.

[WARFAB]

Wasn't aware they had opened up again.

[gtnorry]

I had to do some senior portraits at Charlotte Beach this morning. I was a little concerned at first but figured they’d all be sleeping from last nights activities.
it was all clear up there 9-11am

If they're going to riot, it might take a couple days for all the outside agitators to show up and really get things rolling.

But, if they don't end up rioting in Rochester after this incident, it would provoke a lot of tin foil hat types of questions. An armed suspect who drew on police in LA got shot by the police so they rioted. A black guy shot himself in Minneapolis and the cops who were trying to stop him from doing so, then rushed in and tried to perform first aid to save him..... so they rioted. They're clearly looking for any reason they can find to riot. So if riots don't happen in Rochester after this incident (which looks pretty horrible), why not?

Are there people pulling the strings on these riots who have decided they are no longer politically beneficial?

Bingo! The DNC seems to be coming to the realization that these riots are a gift to the GOP when it comes to talking points and campaign messaging.

[camper4lyfe]

People are pretty pissed at the mayor and police chief. Funny, though, they’re not burning the city down and crying racism (much). The mayor and chief don’t fit the narrative. Funny that.

[thughes]

Yeah...tough to cry coverup and scream for justice when the mayor and the police chief aren't lily white racists.

[camper4lyfe]

I did catch a rumor that one of the involved cops is a relative of Adam
Bello. Like I said, it was just a rumor so no idea how true it actually is.

Oh look, some restaurants that are trying to remain in business after Covid. Let's go make sure they're losing money on a downtown location.

Edit: They better not pull this crap at Sticky Lips.
